#70 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

As usual the theme at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge is Anything Goes - 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.

On one of the craft forums I belong to we have a birthday card swap. Originally it was set up so we only had one person in each month to make a card for. Sadly the numbers have dropped and we now only have nine people. Three of them are in September and with several family members also having September birthdays I try to get ahead with the cards in August.

This is one of the cards I made for the September birthday swap.

 

The backing paper is from a Paper Pantry USB with several collection on it. This one is called The Walled Garden. It was originally a paper pack but with it now on a USB I don’t have to think about running out of any of the designs.

The dies are by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders, she also has a blog called Amazing Paper Grace which I’ve followed for many years. She designs the most beautiful dies and her cards are always stunning. So when Create and Craft had some of her new range recently I just had to buy a couple. It’s very rare for the UK craft channels to have any of Becca’s dies. 

 

 The flowers are handmade using a very old set of dies by Creative Expressions from 2014. They’re still very useable even though they’re quite old. The dies are in 4 different sizes and I was able to use two sizes that were just the right fit for the card. I placed tiny grey half pearls in the centres of the flowers and large grey pearls on two of the edges of the card.

  

Items used:
Creative Crafting World: 7 by 5 landscape card blank, The Paper Pantry Vol I USB – The Walled Garden Collection, and grey and maroon card.
Spellbinders: Becca Feeken Birthday Wishes Vignette S5-455
Creative Expression: Sue Wilson’s Finishing Touches Camellia Complete Petals dies.

The challenge will close on Saturday 9^th October 2021 at 1pm.

Don't forget that the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is now about making items using something printed from a craft CD Rom, USB or digital download. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp or die, but you must include something printed from the new categories. You must also make a physical item and not a digital one. In your blog post/Facebook entry you must give the name of the printed item you've used.

We also have a Facebook page if you don't have a blog - The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.
