Love, love, love print pattern!!

For my SAB order, I'm getting floral and canvas!

[StacyBeth]

I use Floral and Print Pattern both alot.

[maironad]

Love Print Pattern too. I use Canvas more than anything else, because it can go with nearly any style.

[basketballmom12]

I use floral and canvas alot and really like both of them.

[kmolitor]

I think canvas it the most versitile. I just purchased houndstooth and my next ones will be the diamonds (can't remember the name) then I think floral will be my next one. I am wanting more and more backgrounds with all the great designs on SCS! Just loving it all!

The musical score bg is lovely but retired. I love French script but if you are just buying one to start....Print pattern might be the way to go as you can get so many different styles with it. Looks great as shabby, masculine, juvenile, traditional, floral....the list goes on...

[pinkhedgehog]

I vote for Print Pattern also, if you can only get one. You can stamp it in a lighter color and then put your music or French Script on top in a darker color. Very "in" in our little world.

Canvas is really most versatile so I'd go with Canvas. Print Pattern is great too! GET 'EM BOTH!!

[trudee]

Which one do you need? You need them all. :mrgreen:

I agree ALL of them are "needed". But the one I reach for and find the most versatile is Canvas.

[shellca]

I vote for canvas too!

[mooshie_stamps]

well, I have canvas, just jeans, soft swirls, floral, word by word, on the spot, french script, and antique cracking. I use floral the most and LOVE IT! but I love them all!

for my next one I think I'll get print pattern though. does this help at all? sorry if it didn't.
happy stamping

I love canvas, print pattern, and french script. I'm ordering floral in a couple weeks.

[Onita76]

canvas and print pattern!!!!!!!!!

[photocropper]

All of them if it were me!
I have both print pattern and canvas and will have floral soon...
I think I have used canvas more - it is great for adding texture...

[nmslmomto3]

Ordering Print Pattern on my next order, got Canvas for Christmas, but like Linograph, Word By Word and seen some lovely examples using floral.

[jenstamper]

I only have the canvas BG. I know I NEED to get many more. My next purchase will include print pattern and maybe floral.

[laurakj]

I would get Canvas and Print Pattern first.

But like it's been said, you *NEED* them all!

[Lily_Louise]

I have as many B/g stamps as I can lay my hands on apart from Cheesecloth(the one that looks like a scruffy bandage!!), all are so versatile! If you have to choose just one or two, then go with Canvas, good for masculine and feminine cards or just for changing white to another color when you've run out of certain colors of cardstock!! If you can afford two then go for a floral type one as well or one of the Birthday/Holiday ones. Enjoy using whatever you get!

I'd have to vote for canvas too! LOVE it. I recently got floral (thought it was really ugly in the catty, but SCS did it again ;) ) and print pattern is in the box that came today!

[Auntielauri]

My favorite background is Canvas - I just got it last fall and don't know how I ever lived without it - it goes with just about anything, so it's a great investment.

I agree about SCS and Floral. In the catty, it's horrible. I would never have purchased it were it not for you crazy people here. Thanks a lot!!! ;)

[nasmith1701]

I would most definatly say print pattern and/or canvas!!!

[jdarnall2001]

I'm a Canvas fan myself

[ninatar]

Canvas is great for jazzing up a plain cardstock with a simple background that goes with lots of image styles. Print pattern is an image that is more noticable and has to be considered as a stronger design element. French Script is (IMHO) the strongest design element of the three, and goes well with romantic images. Why not go out and look at stamps using your favorite sets and see how these background stamps work?

Stamps can be like clothes - you either can build on what you have for lots of combinations, or sometimes you want something completely different!

If I could only get one, it would be "Canvas" followed closely by "Print Pattern" and "Floral". I tend to use "Canvas" the most!!!

[Melanwee1]

I'd vote for Print Pattern, seen some GORGEOUS cards using PP and French Script together. I have Canvas, like it alot, but hard to get good, total coverage w/o a brayer IMO. I also love the look of the floral and that would be pretty with the french BG too.

I also agree with everyone else: You NEED them ALL! Once you start, you just can't stop! I have emilymomto3boys to thank for my addiction to BG's, she makes them all look AMAZING!!!

[schrades]

Canvas by far!!!

[sunnysnowflake]

Thank you all for your opinions, I really really really appreciate it!! I was going to just get one but sounds like I need PP and Canvas so I will tell DH I NEED 2! And floral is on my mext order.
Thanks again and I can honestly say I don't know what I would do without you all. The info, help, and ideas are priceless.
