Don't know who Wild Whisper Designs is but for people who are tired of all the pink for baby girls this is more gender neutral link to ACOT: SWEET LITTLE ONE |

I have no need for this collection and have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I'm happy to see something that is not blatantly blue or pink, and I like that they have a girl and boy die cut packs but rely on the same papers for both genders. That said, the girl die cut pack still leans heavily on that salmon pink while the boy version uses a lot more blue.
I also don't love this 70's colour scheme.

While I love & frequently scrap with neutrals, I find this collection drab. IMHO it reads muddy brown with lots of mustard accents & has a muted 70s vibe. I may like the lone black & white pattern for non-baby pages, if the rainbows weren't wonky. I'm not the target audience & won't be buying anything from this collection. TFS.

It was a brave move, but I think it’s a miss. It is a small subset of crafters into the 70’s vibe and a smaller subset into a 70’s vibe and crafting for babies. So from this they will say we tried but it wasn’t popular. Like the black & white line from last year, gender neutral does not mean void of color. Sigh. |

I recently saw a co-worker's grandbaby's registry and almost everything was deep gold, rust, and a salmon pink. These papers are a perfect match to her list.
I thought the colors were odd, but they must be trendy.

I thought the colors were odd, but they must be trendy. So trendy! I'm shopping for home decor items for a living room and bedroom re-do and that 70's yellow is everywhere in home products. Apparently yellow is favorite color for gen Z so it's popping up all over the place, in various shades, but a popular shade is that golden yellow. Yellow is also one of the Pantone colors of the year this year. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2020-12-09/the-pantone-color-of-the-year-for-2021 Nice to see a neutral line even if I don't love it personally. Fingers crossed we see more. |

Wild Whisper is a Canadian company. Their papers have a bit of a sheen to them, so the colours you see on line will appear slightly brighter in person.
My ddil dressed all her girls in oranges and browns, right from the start. Thinking that new babies this year will be wearing lots of yellows and greens. Any of those combos would show up beautifully on these papers.

I saw the new Wild Whispers lines but I totally missed this one. Like the rest of you, I don't care for the muddy colors or the overly wordy ephemera.

Ugh, it looks like mud. It looks like a 70's photo that was stored in a magnetic album. The paper with outfits on it has a little dress on it. A good gender neutral collection is like CM's Little Dreamer Collection. www.creativememories.com/shop-all/decorative-bundle-little-dreamer.html That said I may pick up a sheet or two at convention if I see it there because I will want it if I have more grandchildren.  |

I ordered this one and it's so pretty in person. Will be totally appropriate for either gender. |

These shades are absolutely aligned with current baby registries. Random picks from the first items of baby clothing trending on H&M right now:    However, the pages will look dated very quickly and are just dark overall. I'd have preferred for the soft sage green to take centre stage for the papers. The addition of the mid-deep grey really doesn't help. They missed the mark by going all in with these deep hues rathe than using them as pops. Hey, they tried! It *is* different but it's just too heavy and dark overall. What a shame. |

I like the idea or a more gender neutral baby line, but the separate baby boy and baby girl ephemera packs rub me the wrong way. They are super similar, so there it is difficult for me to understand why they couldn't make one ephemera pack with all the pieces. I really like the two rainbow papers, and may purchase them to use on their own.

This line is not something I would buy because the colors are not for me, but I do like the gender neutral-ness of it. These colors are so on trend right now, all the gen-z/millenials I know are dressing their kids in these colors.

I bought this set from scrapbook.com and it has a similar color palette, but tbh I found the colors in the card pack hard to match with more "traditional" pinks that I was also using for that particular album. I didn't end up using a ton of these cards in that baby album but I have used some in my non-baby layouts and cards. www.scrapbook.com/store/sbc-pocket-1.html?t15-19=babies&t26=exclusiveThe orange in the Wild Whisper designs collection is off for me. I like the rainbow paper, though. |

The Wild Whisper collection is way too heavy handed with the rich, dark colors for my liking. It could have been really cute. The SB.com card set still gets the colors across without drowning in it.

I thought the colors were odd, but they must be trendy. I went shopping on the weekend with my friend and she needed a baby shower present, every single thing in the baby isles were white, cream, rust, sage and mustard with a little tiny bit of grey blue and a dark dusty pink, very trendy colours. While I love vintage things I am just not a fan of this colour palette and I really don't like it for baby things, different strokes for different folks I guess because I know my colour bomb life is not everyones cup of tea. |

I like soft greens and yellows for a gender neutral line. Maybe a touch of blue and pink. I don’t know why this is so hard for companies.
Not just for boys kit club had a green baby kit and I liked it a lot.
