Craft Consortium is one of my favorite manufacturers of paper craft supplies. I often use their paper pads, and I highly recommend them to others who make DIY greeting cards, scrapbooking layouts, mini albums, art journals, junk journals, and other paper crafts.


Pictured above, you can see some of the Craft Consortium 6×6 Paper Pads I have in my craft supplies stash. From left to right, you can see the Wood Textures paper pad, the Grunge Light Tones paper pad, and the Patina paper pad.


Here’s a closer look at the Grunge Light Tones 6″x6″ Paper Pad by Craft Consortium:

The paper from this pad is really gorgeous. Most of the colors on these papers are light enough to stamp on, and the color palette is highly usable. Lately, the papers from this pad have been my go-to choice for stamping on. For that reason, this is currently my most-used paper pad. I have used these papers in dozens of my hand-stamped craft projects. Many of the stamped images I’ve made with this paper have ended up in my planner layouts. I have also used them on handmade cards, scrapbooking layouts, and mini albums.


The scrapbook paper from the “Patina” pad is also gorgeous, but the colors on the papers are mostly too dark for stamping purposes. I still use these papers frequently; so far, I’ve mostly been using them to make photo frames for my pictures using the Frame Punch Board by We R Makers (which was rebranded from We R Memory Keepers).


I originally bought these papers for a specific purpose. When my husband, Mike, and I visited the Greek Islands, we took photos near an exquisite wooden door with chipping, peeling wood in the exact shades of aquas and turquoise blues that you see on the Craft Consortium Patina paper pad. So I have earmarked most of the papers in this pad to use in our scrapbook album featuring the Greek Islands pictures.


The Wood Textures paper pad has also been really useful to me for making scrapbooking projects. I’ve been using these papers in multiple ways. I used bunches of these papers to make frames that really resemble vintage wood picture frames. I am enthralled by these! I have also used some of the lighter paper designs as backgrounds for my scrapbooking layouts. These paper designs are all lovely and highly usable.
