What's Included
- 16 double-sided 12×12 sheets

- Cover-weight acid-free, lignin-free paper
- Made in the USA
- New product in the Merry-ful Greetings range
Design & Aesthetic
The Plaids & Stripes Pack focuses entirely on background, pattern and coordinating papers rather than decorative motif designs. Set against the collection's signature charcoal black background, the 8 designs feature festive buffalo check, holiday plaids, classic stripes and coordinating solid-adjacent patterns in pine green, candy cane red and winter white. These papers are designed to support decorative focal elements—providing visual structure, depth and pattern interest without competing for attention.
Why Choose This Pack
The Plaids & Stripes Pack fills the gap that separates a good Christmas project from a great one. Statement decorative papers create impact; coordinating pattern and plaid papers create cohesion. The charcoal black background running consistently across all designs ensures every layering paper integrates seamlessly with decorative sheets from the Collection Pack—no jarring colour or background mismatches. The generous 2-sheets-per-design format provides plenty for multi-page albums, full card collections and extended creative projects. As a new addition to the Merry-ful Greetings range, this pack has been designed to complement and expand the creative possibilities of the existing collection.
How to Use
Use plaids and stripes as card bases, background papers, matting layers and envelope liners. Cut into strips for borders and bunting, trim to size for pocket scrapbooking inserts and mini album pages, or use as coordinating wrap and packaging for Christmas gifts and treat bags. Layer behind decorative motif papers from the Collection Pack for structured, visually rich project compositions.
