#138 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.

This challenge was due to be hosted by Aimes but Hurricane Beryl has caused a lot of damage and many people are still without power. We've had a quick message from Aimes and she and her hubby are both OK but the power situation makes it impossible for her to get on line so Carol has stepped in to host this one.

I started making cards back in 2005 – doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun LOL! A year later a made a Welsh themed birthday card for one of my brothers. The family moved to England after dad died and my brother Mark has always missed living in Wales. My Welsh card cheered him up so much that I kept up the trend of making Welsh themed cards for his birthday. I even managed it for the 3 years when my husband was ill and then passed away.

This card is now the nineteenth I’ve made:

The sweater is from a USB by Craft Master using My Craft Studio called A Jumper For All Seasons. It was originally a dull beige colour with areas of grey ‘slub’ effect. I changed the colour to a shade of green that was as near as I could get it to the Welsh flag. I also added an image of the Welsh dragon that I found on the internet. The sweater was then cut using the matching dies – Craft Master Nested Jumper. The USB and dies are meant to be Christmas designs but as soon as I saw them on Create and Craft it sparked this idea!

I die cut the green and red layers using nesting dies from Presscut that have a ‘stitch’ effect on the edges so that they would tie in with the main image of a sweater. I added a few Welsh dragon peel offs to the corners but I’m not sure they add anything to the finished card.

The challenge will close on Saturday 03^rd August 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. 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.

My make for this challenge is a card for a swap on a forum. The theme was Black and White plus two colours.

I knew that I wanted to use a recent purchase – a set of dies designed by Dawn Wheeler.

I really like the lacy background die and I think the black and white really shows it off. The flower dies come in 4 different sizes which I layered up.

Items used:

Crafts-Too: Boujee by Dawn Wheeler Circle Base and Boujee Blooms die sets. 

Craft Artist Essential card – coconut white.

In The Studio by David Wait: A Pop of Colour USB.

Carnation Crafts: Pro Print paper (to print the red and green from the USB.

Limetree Craft: Black Glitter Pearl card.

Pearls from stash.

I was recently invited to a family celebration – a combined 90^th birthday and 70^th wedding anniversary.

This is the card I made for the happy couple using Carnation Crafts Standing Tall Card Shapes die set, Golden Age die collection and vignettes.

I used a gold shimmer pen on the hat band, fan and edging around the hem of the dress.

#135 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

 Nothing from me for this challenge. 

I've been away from home for 7 weeks staying with my brother who's wife died recently. I haven't crafted since April! I came home a few days ago only to be invited to a joint 90th birthday and 70th wedding anniversary party in Somerset. I'm only staying the one night this time. I'm hoping to get back to crafting soon so that I can have something for the next challenge.
