Create stunning papercrafts like gift wrap, stationery, party decorations and more with this beautiful collection.

A lifelong artist, Lotta Jansdotter has been creating patterns and motifs for fun since childhood and professionally since 1996. Her organic, playful, and timeless designs have appeared on everything from sewing and quilting fabrics to rugs, bedsheets, baby gear, dishes, and more. For Paper, Pattern, Play, Lotta happily focuses on the most basic and versatile of mediums: paper. Here she presents a colorful collection of both iconic favorites and brand-new creations. She also shares prompts and instructions for creating easy, fun, and whimsical projects, including party decorations and favors, games, gift tags, gift wrap, labels, stickers, stationery, and assorted, as Lotta likes to say, bits and bobs.

The e-book edition features a link to download and print the collection’s patterns at home.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An acquired taste
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018

    As a fan of similar European titles celebrating paper like FLOW’s annual Book for Paper Lovers and Lizzie Lees’ “Create Your Own College”, I’m definitely the target audience for 200+ pages of nothing but glorious paper. But prior to my purchase, I should have explored Ms. Jansdotter’s previous work...because this book’s repetitive use of a neutral and sedate color palette doesn’t leave me very joyful. I typically like Scandinavian designs, but after so many pages of slate grey, taupe, and autumnal orange, I was ready for a few more touches of the unexpected. If you’re familiar with the similarly-bound FLOW book, you could argue their use of bold, bright color and whimsical motifs borders on the juvenile. Rest assured this is NOT that. If you want a very grown up, more austere paper play session, this may be a smart choice. There’s lots to see here but 85% of it isn’t ‘cute’. Just because this book isn’t my style and doesn’t especially motivate me to have a collage session or send a friend a note— I tire easily from too many grids, decorative borders, and dots—it’s quite nicely made and shouldn’t disappoint... as long as you know what you’re getting: mature and muted. About the wildest page included here is origami-esque cubes against a clover green.

    Along with oodles of meant-to-be-removed sheets of the relatively tame (double sided) patterns (in what I’d estimate is 28#lb paper), you also get some gift wrap, stickers/labels, tags, templates, a section of fold-out heavy stock, and postcards—postcards too small for USPS mail so will need repurposing. A scant section near the back offers a couple of guided projects along with a few photo/mood pages for inspiration. As I didn’t purchase it for a how-to guide, this lack of heavy text is preferred for me. If you’re after Paper Pattern Play for serious instruction, look elsewhere.

    These books are shipped without any protective outer wrap; mine arrived with every last page badly bent/crushed at the corner. Yay for more earth-friendly, but had I wanted this to give as a gift, unusable.

    Like any avid snail mailer and paper junkie, I will eventually use most of what’s here. Yet I am not as cheerful about it as I’d normally be; an entire collection of just one distinctive style, in one distinctively dull palette proves that while most all artists have a signature style, variety is still the spice of life. This one feels too curated. While I appreciate it’s a crafting title not aimed for kids, I think I’m too much of a kid at heart.
