#146 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

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.

My lovely next door neighbours recently celebrated 25 years of married life. They’re such lovely people and brilliant neighbours so I wanted to make a special card for them. There’s only one craft company to turn to in order to make a very special card and that’s Carnation Crafts!

The base card is cut from silver mirror card using Carnation’s Into Spring Card Shape. I then cut the included filigree dies from silver glitter card. The bride and groom are dies and vignettes from the Happy Couple dies. I added a 25 and Happy Anniversary die cut to finish off the card. 

Items used:

Carnation Crafts: Happy Couple die set from the Perfect Day Collection and Into Spring Card Shape die from the Into Spring Collection.

The Paper Boutique: Happy Anniversary die from Sentiments Volume IV.

Claina Palma: 25 dies from the Numbers set.

Crafts Too: Silver Glitter Card – non shed.

Silver mirror card from my stash. 

The challenge will close on Saturday 23^rd November 2024 at 1pm.

#145 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

I’m host for this challenge and my card is a Halloween themed one for a card swap I’m in.

As I said in my previous blog post I love making Halloween themed things. I went all out for this one - it's huge! Imagine one and a half A4 cards laid on their side plus a bit more! It's meant to depict two houses with a graveyard in the middle.

I’ve added lots of photos showing some of the detail in the card. I was very brave and added some spiders! I’m terrified of the real ones but living on my own I have had to learn to cope with them.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts dies and vignettes: Haunted House (from Getting Together Collection), The Creaking House, A Little Spooked, Spooky Friends, Men’s Social and Better Halves (both from Getting Together Collection) and Dreamhouse Card Shape (from Peace and Quiet Collection – used for the graveyard gates).

Paper Boutique die sets: Woven With Love, Wickedly Wonderful Embellishments and Sentiments Volume IX.

Tonic Studios: Scalloped Circle Layering Die Set.

The challenge will close on Saturday 9th November 2024 at 1pm.

I love crafting for Halloween and luckily a card swap I’m in always has the theme of Halloween for our October swap.

I like all the spooky faces behind the windows.

#142 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

My nephew and his teenage son like going to Monster Jam at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Monster Jam is where the really huge jeeps etc go over obstacle courses. They really are ‘monster’ trucks! This year there’s a Monster Jam World Tour so they bought the t-shirts to wear to their night in Cardiff. As it was my great nephew’s birthday a couple of weeks afterwards I decided to design his birthday card around the Monster Jam logo. I asked my nephew to take a photo of the t-shirt so I could use it on the card and this is what I came up with.

I edited the photo so I just had the Monster Jam World Tour image and printed it onto a transparent self-adhesive sheet. I printed a jumper from a My Craft Studio USB, stuck the image onto it and then used the matching die to cut it out. It took four attempts to get the sizing and placement right but I persevered. I then added a couple of mats and foam pads to raise the ‘jumper’ up a little.

Items used:

My Craft Studio: Craft Master A Jumper For All Seasons USB.

Splash Crafts: Easy Peely Transparent Self – Adhesive Sticker Sheets.

Tonic Studios: Classic Card in Pewter Grey.

Green card from my stash.
