#173 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

This is my last CD Sunday post before Christmas. We’re taking a break from 22^nd December to 4^th January. 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.

For one of my nieces I always make a religious Christmas card. Searching through my Christmas die stash I came across a pop up die set that was perfect. I just needed background papers. I turned to AI and asked it to design a dark night sky and sand dune papers. This is the inside of the finished card. 

 And the front of the card. 

   

Items used:

AI to create the digital elements for the sky and sand dunes.

Crafter’s Companion: A Bethlehem Scene Edge ‘Ables die set and Guardian Angel die.

Creative Dies: Joy To The World dies.

The challenge will close on Saturday 20th December 2025 at 1pm.

It will reopen again on 4th January 2026.

#171 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

Anyone who knows me will know that I LOVE HALLOWEEN! And as I’m now into making 3d items then Halloween is the perfect time to make something other than a card.

As soon as I saw the Craftwork Castle Gift Box Die Set (5874e) from Tonic Studios I knew it would be perfect to turn into a Halloween project for the bimonthly swap I’m in. It took me an age to make just the basic castle – the decorations were the easy part! All the characters are from various Carnation Crafts vignettes and die sets.

The centre tower (with the flying mouse) hides a treat box. I put Welsh cakes in there as my local shop didn’t have any Halloween sweets. The person I sent it too enjoyed the Welsh cakes! Her granddaughters begged her to let them have it for Halloween next year. She told them they could borrow it but had to look after it and return it to her to keep.

#170 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you will have read about the card I make for my brother’s birthday every year. Our family are Welsh but after our dad died mam moved to Shropshire with 3 children under the age of 14. My brother has always been a very proud Welshman so each year I make him a Welsh themed birthday card. Just before his birthday this year my brother was able to retire from work. That gave me a great excuse to use AI to design his card!

He always loves my card and this one was no exception.

#169 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

I’m host for this challenge and I like to try and make something a bit special or different when I’m host.

For this challenge I used a downloaded SVG file to use with my Scan N Cut. The cutting out bit was the easy part but choosing papers took me forever! It’s meant to be for 12 by 12 card but I didn’t have any that I liked enough. It’s a desk top storage unit and will be sitting on my craft desk right in front of me so the papers had to be something I liked. I managed to cobble together enough A4 in colours that worked well together.
