I'm delighted to welcome you to a new challenge at The Paper Players because I'm the hostess this week. I've got a theme challenge for you which I hope will appeal: For the Little Ones. So maybe you need a card or two for some new babies in your life (and their parents) or maybe you need a birthday card for a tot in your life. Or maybe you need a 'No reason except that I love you' card for that special grandchild, godchild or niece/nephew. For whatever reason you need a something for a little one, then this is your challenge.
There are some births imminent in my world at present, so I thought I'd go for the baby card option. As I usually do when I go for a baby card, I make a boy, girl, gender neutral option while I'm at it.
This year's In Colors work well for this with Hydrangea Hue, Barely Blush and Golden Glow. I used patterns from the 2026-2028 Painted Patterns DSP to create the little onesies. I still love the retired All For Baby set with the cute collection of baby clothes and accessories - such as the tiny hangers - for my baby cards, so that's what I've used.
To frame the clothes collection, I used the Party Banner dies, cutting a second in the key colour to create an edging top and bottom. The tiny hearts come from All for Baby and I've given them a little sparkle with some Wink of Stella.
For the background embossing, I used the retired Crazy Crochet 3D folder, as it has the look of a handmade baby blanket about it.
To finish each card, I used a trio of the matching In Color Dots.
