#144 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.
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. 


Look at the little black cat looking up adoringly at his mistress!


All the items used are from Carnation Crafts except the black glitter card.

Carnation Crafts die collections and vignettes from The Creaking House, Haunted House and Spooky Friends.
The challenge will close on Saturday 26th October 2024 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.

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.

My lovely next door neighbour has just come home from hospital after an operation. She was diagnosed 11 years ago and has been on the waiting list for the past three years. After waiting so long the operation was a major one and took longer than usual. What is happening with our NHS?

I made her a Get Well card and a flower arrangement with Forever Flowerz.


I turned to DoCrafts Digital Designer for this card – I haven’t used it for quite some time. The folder I used is Tulip and Friends. With the Digital Designer you can design the card on screen and print it onto card then fold it in half and you’re done. I didn’t want to make a flat card though so I printed the elements separately, cut them out and layered them up. The flowers have been in my stash for many years but they had dark purple centres. I removed them and added clear dew drops.
The sentiment is from Tonic Studios – Get Well Sentiment Strip Die. And I finished the card off with some lilac gems.
These are the Forever Flowers I made:
