I make cards and stick to pretty traditional colors. If you were to look at a basic kindergarten rainbow, those are my colors. Are there any 6x6 patterned pads in these traditional colors of basic patterns like dots, stripes, checks, etc, preferably tone on tone instead of white backgrounds? I have the cardstock down, I'm just finding it difficult to find small scale patterns that don't include a bunch of different colors I wouldn't use.
Thanks!

Lawn Fawn makes a 6 by 6paper pad that is basic stripes, stars etc but I'm not sure it has primary colors in it or not.

I have several Bazzill ones and the quality is excellent. Nice thick paper!
Also look at My Mind's Eye and Echo Park. I know both have done lines that they called "basics" or something like that and there were lots of everyday patterns. I'm not sure if they sized the line to 6x6 as well, but worth checking out.

Snap by Simple Stories have made several and this is a current 6x6 pad. You might be able to find some others on Ebay or at some discount stores.

I saw a big thick one by Pebbles I think at Hobby Lobby just recently, and Doodlebug had one that had bright colors on kraft backgrounds there too. Hobby Lobby also has a thick 12x12 pad of basic patterns in every color that could be cut down.

Thank you so much for all the ideas! I saw a big thick one by Pebbles I think at Hobby Lobby just recently, and Doodlebug had one that had bright colors on kraft backgrounds there too. Hobby Lobby also has a thick 12x12 pad of basic patterns in every color that could be cut down. Are the patterns small, though? Usually the problem with 12x12 pads is the pattern is so big when you cut it down to be an accent on a card you lose most of the pattern. The 6x6 pads generally shrink the patterns down. |

It's a mix, they're not tiny though. Some are bigger but some are smaller. The gingham, stripes and some of the polka dots are smaller and would work on cards. |
