Design & Aesthetic
The Amber Ledgers Solids pad showcases a harmonious, vintage-inspired colour palette of soft greens, warm sepia tones, rich rusts and deep teal hues—the same warm, nostalgic tones that define the wider Amber Ledgers collection. Rather than decorative botanical collages, this pad focuses on tonal and solid-adjacent designs that provide quiet, versatile backgrounds and layering elements. Every design is double-sided, giving you coordinating tonal options on front and back for maximum flexibility within the collection's refined vintage aesthetic.
Why Choose This Pad
The Solids pad is the essential layering companion to the Amber Ledgers Paper Pad. Where the main pad delivers statement botanical collages and design-led focal papers, the Solids pad provides the coordinating foundations—matting layers, background papers, border strips and supporting elements that pull an entire project together. The generous 4-sheets-per-design format means you have plenty of each tonal design for multi-page albums, full card collections and extended layering work without running short. The double-sided construction doubles your usable design options from a single pad, whilst the shared vintage palette ensures seamless integration with all other Amber Ledgers products for cohesive, professionally coordinated projects.
How to Use
Use solids and tonal designs as card bases, scrapbook backgrounds, 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 quiet backgrounds that let focal elements and photographs take centre stage. Layer beneath decorative papers from the Amber Ledgers Paper Pad for structured, visually rich compositions with coordinated vintage depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many sheets and designs are in the pad?
The pad contains 24 sheets total—6 double-sided designs with 4 sheets of each design. The double-sided construction gives you two coordinating tonal options per sheet, maximising creative variety from a single pad.
Q: What's the difference between this and the Amber Ledgers Paper Pad?
The Amber Ledgers Paper Pad features 12 decorative double-sided designs with botanical collages, aged text, lace and vintage detail, plus kiss-cut element sheets. The Solids Pad focuses entirely on 6 tonal and solid-adjacent designs in the coordinating vintage palette—ideal for layering, matting and backgrounds. Many crafters buy both for the full range of decorative and supporting paper options.
Q: Do these papers coordinate with the Amber Ledgers Paper Pad?
Yes. Both pads share the same vintage-inspired colour palette of soft greens, warm sepia tones, rich rusts and deep teal hues. The Solids papers are designed specifically to layer beneath and alongside the decorative papers for cohesive, coordinated projects without colour or aesthetic mismatch.
Q: Why are there 4 sheets of each design?
The 4-sheets-per-design format provides generous quantities for extended projects—multi-page scrapbook albums, full card collections, mini album builds and layered work where you need repeated access to the same tonal designs. This avoids running short of favourite colours mid-project.
Q: What does double-sided mean?
Each sheet features a coordinating tonal design on both front and back, giving you two usable options per sheet. This maximises creative variety from a single pad and reduces paper waste on smaller projects where only a partial sheet is needed.
Q: Can I use these papers for mixed media projects?
Yes. The solid and tonal designs work beautifully as backgrounds for mixed media artwork—layering beneath inked, stamped or painted surfaces, or as quiet base papers that let mixed media techniques take centre stage
