#149 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

Welcome back to  The CD Sunday Plus Challenge and Happy New Year! The team are looking forward to seeing your entries in 2025.As usual the theme 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.

I decided to share my make for a Secret Santa Swap on one of the craft forums I belong to. Sadly only three of us took part so it wasn’t very ‘secret’.

I made some Finnish Stars which I’ve made before but I’d forgotten how to make them so had to look the tutorial up again. You can find it here.          

I chose a ‘material’ in Serif Craft Artist called Retro Christmas and printed it on both sides of Pro Print Paper from Carnation Crafts. I put peel offs along every edge, which was very time consuming and quite fiddly. I decorated the centres on both sides using sentiment dies by The Paper Boutique and the snowflakes are from Crafts-Too called Sam’s Baubles JND410. Finally I added some ribbon so they could be hung up.

The challenge will close on Saturday 18^th January 2025 at 1pm.

Don't forget that the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is 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.

#148 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This is the last Challenge before our Christmas break. It runs until 22nd December and we’ll be back on Sunday 5th January 2025.

I rarely make my Christmas cards early enough to submit them as my design team makes. But this year I had nearly all of them finished by 1st December.

This card is for a very special Aunt and Uncle of my late husband.

I also made a stand so that the 'book' would stand up.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts: Fairy Tale Day and Christmas Awaits Collections.

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.

#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 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.

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.
