Happy Wednesday! Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
Our challenge this week is to use patterned paper, and the Design Team are playing with my favorite paper maker, Doodlebug! They make the most adorable papers, all scaled down in their 6" pads for us cardmakers!
My first card uses a favorite stamp from Wplus9, called Doodle Buds! What a perfect match for today's challenge - Doodle Buds stamped on Doodlebug papers!
supplies: white card base, patterned papers from these Doodlebug 6" pads: Hello Sunshine, Dot-Grid-Daisy-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints, Gingham Rainbow Petite Prints, and Kraft in Color, Wplus9 Doodle Bud stamp set, Simon Scallop Stitches die, assorted enamel dots
I started by choosing the floral panel and then found other papers to pull the colors from it. These flowers and leaf stamps are perfect for this, as they're not to small to cut apart the individual parts and piece them back together again. After everything was assembled, I stamped a few of the squiggles and added some enamel dots.
My next card uses a patchwork background technique that my friend Mary Anne taught me years ago, and materials from a Simon Card Kit from February this year:

supplies: white cardstock, Doodlebug Cream & Sugar paper pad, sentiments from Simon's Coffee & Tea set, Stitched Rectangle and Stitched Circle dies, Doodlebug Latte Love shape sprinkles
Here's a little tip to help you curve a straight sentiment: use the negative circle die-cut (the panel with the circular hole) as a guide to stick your sentiment stamp onto your Misti or stamping block.

Fabulous cards Lin. I have soooo much patterned paper so I must do something to enter a card
Beautiful cards Lin- I too love the doodlebug papers - I have only ever found a couple of 12x12 packs - I must keep and eye out for the 6x6 pads.
Love your quilted background - that is really sweet

Such pretty cards Lin. Love the pretty pattern papers with those big blooms. Great paper piecing. The coffee card is so cute and sweet.
Love your cards, Lin, especially the first one! I keep wanting that flower set--boy do you make it hard for me to keep my no buying vow!
Just love your cards Lin - amazing colours that you have put together.
Wow, Lin, this coffee card is amazing. Love the background and the papers and that cute saying in a curve on your circle. Such a pretty card to look at and keep looking at.
