#160 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Challenge Blog

I really liked how this card turned out so made a second card in different colours.

I used Carnation Crafts Fine Splendour base card die set to cut three sides of a 5 by 7 card blank. You let the die hang over the fold in the base card so that it doesn’t get cut into. I then cut three layers from various coloured card stock and glued them onto the base card. The cream die cut is also from the base card set. The watering can and birds are from the Garden Chatter set and the flowers are a mixture from Vintage Blooms set 1 and 2.

The front of the card was quite heavy so I also decorated the inside to stop the card fallen forward.

 As usual the theme is Anything Goes at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.  Remember you must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download, you must state where the item used is from and you must make a physical item and not a digital one.

#159 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Challenge Blog

I have a friend who lives in an independent living home ask me to make a birthday card for one of the other residents. The lady is classed as blind but is able to see a little. I used bright colours and decoupaged the flowers to help her to see the design.

 I used a 7x7 card blank  and covered it with green card from my stash. The flower wreath is from Carnation Crafts Petals and Threads Collection using the Classic Composure Card Shape. I finished the card with some large cream pearls.

I used a landscape card but turned it so that the fold is at the top. The dies and vignettes are from Carnation Crafts Elegant Alfresco Collection.

50th birthday card

 In my mind I knew roughly how I wanted this card to look. It turned out far better than I'd hoped for.

The card was front heavy with all the layers so I also decourated the inside to help it to stand up.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts - Killer Heels Card Shape from the Oh So Chic Collection and Fine Figures from the Moments In Time Collection.

Presscut - Plain Squares and Notched Squares Nesting Dies.

Craft Artist - gold no shed glitter card.

Limetree Crafts - Ice Gold Shimmer card (in real life it has a gorgeous shimmer),

#157 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Challenge Blog

It's 15 years since I first entered a card into the CD Sunday Challenge blog on 3rd May 2010. In those days you could only use items from a craft CD. CDs have now been replaced by USBs and downloads but I still have hundreds of CDs in my stash! 

This card was for my late husband's only remaining auntie. She's a very special lady but sadly she now has dementia. She loves flowers so I went all out with this card!

The card base is made using Carnation Crafts Wild Stepper Card Shape. I covered it in pink card from my stash. Then decorated with flowers from Into Summer Collection – Lovely Lilies, Terrific Tulips, Graceful Gladiolus. I snipped into some of the die cuts and turned them around to use the backs and fill in any gaps.

No sentiment on the front as she likes to keep my cards on display after her birthday.
