PTI patterned papers...what do you think?

[klh54]

I asked on the PTI forum for opinions on favorite PTI patterned papers but could barely elicit a response so thought I would ask here. Are they good, bad or just so-so? I've only purchased one of their pp packs but have not used it mainly because I forgot I had it!:oops: But also it's Distress Dots and I just haven't found a need for it. Of course I love collecting pp but find I'm rather challenged when using it!!
So what are your opinions of PTI pp?:???:

The paper is good quality. I have 4 of the packs of their patterned paper and I don't really use them. They are nice basics that match their cardstock perfectly but I find I just don't reach for them. Maybe that is because they are at the very bottom of my stack on the book shelf. If I were doing say a "polka dot" challenge then I could reach for that patterned paper and have a perfect match and know exactly which Copics to use to have a perfectly coordinated card. Here is the last card I made using the polka dot paper.

Yeah!! I agree with bugga-awesome card, beyond belief fussy cutting!!!

Oh and thank you for replying. I was wondering why I kept hesitating to buy their papers, guess you clarified it for me

I use the polka dot set, but the rest don't do much for me so I haven't bought any others. But it looks as if they are improving and getting more colorful. I like much more interesting papers from companies like Basic Grey, Bo Bunny, etc.

I have many of their patterned papers...love love love them. They do go famously with their cardstocks but also some of the papers look great with SU cardstock. I do not regret buying them.

Oh thank you! Yes I am a fussy cutter. I am too lazy to mask and always forget to die cut. I just outline the image with a black marker if my cutting gets too sloppy.
