Choosing supplies for paper crafts scrapbooking gets easier when you start with the job at hand: patterned paper for a page or card, a group of small cardstock pieces for notes, or a punch for cutout shapes. These four choices are not interchangeable. The key decision is whether your project needs a surface design, a ready group of card-sized papers, or a shaping tool.
Quick take
The two American Crafts paper choices suit different creative directions: American Crafts 346675 Multi Flowers Paper keeps the focus on a floral paper design, while American Crafts Patterned Paper- Merrymint is specifically for Holiday/Christmas-themed work. The 80+ lot 5x4 cardstock Crafts 7 colors lot memo crafting paper thick shifts toward multicolor sheets for crafting and memos. Stampin' Up! Paper Punch Whale & Flat Style YOU PICK Punches Crafts Scrapbooking stands apart as the only paper punch, making it the relevant choice when the project calls for punched shapes rather than another paper supply.

Product notes
American Crafts 346675 Multi Flowers Paper
American Crafts 346675 Multi Flowers Paper is a direct match for a project that calls for a floral paper direction instead of a cutting tool or card assortment. At USD 3.95, it has the lowest listed price in this group, making it the clear starting point when the desired addition is simply Multi Flowers paper. It is also marked new. The limitation is its focused role: the title identifies paper, so it does not address projects that specifically require a supply of small cardstock pieces or shaped cutouts. Choose it when the floral paper motif itself is the priority.
American Crafts Patterned Paper- Merrymint
American Crafts Patterned Paper- Merrymint is the targeted choice for Holiday/Christmas scrapbooking and card-making themes. It is identified as a new paper kit, and the Merrymint name gives the project a clearly seasonal direction. That makes it more purposeful than choosing a general multicolor cardstock lot for a Christmas-focused layout or card. Its limitation is equally clear: the Holiday/Christmas theme narrows its natural fit to seasonal work. Pick Merrymint when the design brief calls for festive paper; choose a less theme-specific option when the project needs to move beyond that occasion.
80+ lot 5x4 cardstock Crafts 7 colors lot memo crafting paper thick
The 80+ lot 5x4 cardstock Crafts 7 colors lot memo crafting paper thick fits projects that benefit from a larger mixed-color paper supply. The description identifies 80+ pieces across seven colors for crafting and memos, while the attributes specify a smooth pattern and 5x4 size. That combination makes the lot a sensible match for repeated small-format tasks rather than a single themed paper accent. The constraint is the fixed 5x4 format: it is geared toward smaller pieces, so it is less aligned with a project centered on a particular floral or Holiday/Christmas paper design.
Stampin' Up! Paper Punch Whale & Flat Style YOU PICK Punches Crafts Scrapbooking
Stampin' Up! Paper Punch Whale & Flat Style YOU PICK Punches Crafts Scrapbooking is the distinct choice when the goal is to create paper shapes rather than select sheets of paper. It is identified as a Paper Punch with a Shapes theme, and the listed size is less than 1 inch, pointing to compact punched elements for a scrapbook page, card, or other paper craft. Its key limitation is condition: it is listed as used, unlike the three paper and cardstock choices. Select the Stampin' Up! punch when shaping paper matters more than adding another paper pattern or color assortment.
Final recommendation by use case
For a floral paper-focused project, choose American Crafts 346675 Multi Flowers Paper. For Holiday/Christmas layouts or cards, American Crafts Patterned Paper- Merrymint is the purpose-built paper kit. Choose the 80+ lot 5x4 cardstock Crafts 7 colors lot memo crafting paper thick when a multicolor group of small crafting and memo pieces suits the plan. If the project needs compact punched shapes, the Stampin' Up! Paper Punch Whale & Flat Style YOU PICK Punches Crafts Scrapbooking is the relevant format, with its used condition as the tradeoff.
