My First Card As A Pile It On Designer

Click on image to enlarge.


Well this is so exciting! My very first card as a designer for Pile It On. I love this challenge blog and it is such an honor to be designing with such a talented group of people! I made this card for my nieces. They spoiled our son rotten for his 2nd birthday so I wanted to make them their own special card. I am really happy with the way it came out. My only complaint is I feel like I am stuck in an easel card rut, not to mention the layout. I promised myself that the next card I make will not be square and will not be an easel. We'll see how that goes (lol). Here are the details...
Image: I found this great blog called Lost In Paper Scraps. The owner Dawn makes the most adorable digis and she gives them away.

Card: 6x6 easel card

Paper: DCWV The Sweet Stack, Provocraft Basic Pastels and green scraps

Copics: E51, E33, E02, E47, E35, YR00, R27, Y08, Y02, RV23, RV21

Nestabilities: Labels Nine

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots

Cricut: WildCard-RDS-phrase-swoop-cut at 1/2"
Punches: Fiskar round corner punch

Others: American Crafts ribbon, Galaxy Milky Way White Marker, 3D dots, Recollections button stickers


Here are the many challenges (I just love seeing how many I can combine!)

Pile It On Sneak Peek (Check Pile It On tomorrow for the great challenge!)
Copic Buzz #25 "Red and Pink"
Digital Tuesday #41 "Emboss It" (I used Nestabilities to emboss the outside of the image and Cuttlebug to emboss the paper under the button)
ABC "L is for Layering..."
Crafty Creations #50 "Textures" (ribbon texture, button texture, card base paper has texture, DCWV has glitter and raised texture)
Bee Crafty #21 "Thank You"
Cupcake Craft #73 "Going Girly"
My Grafico #31 "Yellow" (the base of the card is also yellow but it is a little hard to see)
Incy Wincy #25 "Sweet Treats"
2 Red Bananas "Think Round"
Charisma Cardz #2 "Anything New" (new digi)
Little Red Wagon #11 "Polka Dots" (I also used Swiss Dots embossing folder but it is hard to see in the picture)
Your Next Stamp #7 "Embossing" (I used Nestibilities and Cuttlebug)
Dare U 2 Digi Stamp #29 "Buttons"
Paper Cutz #24 "Summer" (I used summer colors and fruit)
Sew Many Cards #1 "Anything Goes"
Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!

    LOL, you are in a Easel Card Rut, and I have yet to try one! I am glad you made "another", maybe that is the inspiration I need to tackle one myself! Great Summer colors...and I like how you used the different BG papers! If this is what being in a rut looks like...I'm jumping in with ya! Thanks for playing with us at Sew Many Challenges!
