It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players. This week the talented Anne Marie is hosting a Clean and Simple Challenge: Use Polka Dots on Your Clean and Simple Project! Wanting to stay clean and simple as requested, I steered away from anything vintage and opted to create a delightful paper-pieced baby card. I hope you enjoy “Polka Dots and Pearls for Baby!
The finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide x 5-1/2″ long.
- Itty Bitty Baby Banner! An adorable embellishment for any baby card is the sentiment “Sweet Baby” from Itty Bitty Banners, available in the new catalog. Two Marina Mist banners created with the Bitty Banners Framelit and a Baker’s Twine bow add a festive twist to this simple sentiment!
- Beautiful Bow! In homage to Stampin’ Up!’s retiring Satin Ribbon, a Marina Mist bow adds an indisputable “wow” factor! Out of all of the retiring products, Satin Ribbon is the one item I will miss the most. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to stock up now while it is still available!
- Paper Pieced and Pearly Pram! Paper pieced using a dotted pattern from Nursery Nest, the “Baby Carriage” from the Baby Bundle stamp set takes on a whimsical elegance by adding Basic Pearls!
It was fun using the Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper one more time before it retires. And just as I loved my Satin Ribbon, I know that I will learn to love the ribbons in the new catalog, too. Change is always good for the creative process. So what did you think of today’s card? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? And as always, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
I love what you did with the banners!
Great use of the “sweet baby” banner and I do love the polka dotted paper! How fun to add pearls as little accents on the buggy. So many great colors used to create such a fun card!
Oh that paper pierced pram is just adorable. Of course every pram needs some pearls too:) And I absolutely love those cute little layered banners.
Ann, I love your pearlized, blinged-up baby buggy! the polka dot paper was the perfect backdrop. Of course, your bow is perfect, too!
Adorable

What a super=sweet baby card! And look how clever you are, layering those itty bitty banners! You’re a genius!
Such a sweet card Ann. All the polka dots just say “baby” and how you used the pearls as part of the polka dot theme is so cute. The banner is awesome.
Pearls even look great on a baby card! This is just so cute. I really like the way you did the banner too, and you do make such beautiful bows!
Oh how cute!! My favourite part is the little triple banner – LOVE IT!
What an adorable baby card!! Love the colors and all the embellishments!
You know what is funny, Ann? I had my hands on that same DSP for this challenge. Although I would not have created something nearly as gorgeous as you have here! Wowza! That is one beautifully blinged-out buggy and I love the layered banner sentiment. So sweet! 🙂
that is so cool to add the two marina mist banners created with the bitty banners framelit to the sentiment. it really brings the extra pop. Love it. Thanks for that technique. I will definitely use it in my card.
Super sweet card! Love the pearls and polka dots!
Too, too cute, Ann! I love the embellishments. The pearls and the ribbon add flair, and the blue background bitty banners make the banner message stand out. Adorable!
Love the pram pimped with pearls, lol! So sweet and the trio of waving banners is just perfect!
What an adorable card Ann! I love polka dots! Love the paper piecing on the pram, all the pearls, and the way you did the cute banners!
Ann love your card as usual….and all the paper pals but, I cannot figure out the sentiment on Narelle Farrugia’s card when I tried to leave a comment it booted me because I do not have a wordpress account….do you know which set it’s from.
I love the new banner set cannot wait to get the framelits…you did an awesome job on your card and love the colors…
Inky Hugs,
