Winter in the Mountains - CD Sunday

I was looking through some back issues of one of my favourite craft magazines and came across a card fold I've not seen before. It's called a U-fold and has a central area that is set back from the front and gives a great 3-D effect. The magazine was Quick Cards Made Easy issue 172 but sadly the magazine has now been discontinued. I've bought it for many, many years possibly from issue 1 and it's always been one of my favourites. I shall miss it dropping through my letterbox every month.
So I now had a card shape for Margaret's theme at CD Sunday - Winter in the Mountains. I looked through a few of my craft CD roms and came across an image of a young lad skiing which then got my old brain cells thinking and this is what I came up with:

 

I covered the card blank with a snowy sky paper from a CD that was free with Making Cards magazine in 2016.I then resized the boy to fit the side panels and layered him onto black card. He is from a Polkadoodles CD called Magical Winter part one.

The snowy hills in the central section are die cut from plain white card that I've gone over with a clear overlay Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter pen from Crafter's Companion. The dies were free in Simply Cards and Paper Crafts magazine issue 168. The houses are a Tattered Lace die from the Christmas magazine 2017 and I placed yellow paper behind to look like lights. To finish I just covered the front band with more snowy paper and added a die cut sentiment from Creative Dies.

I hope you find time to enter the challenge - it's open until Saturday 3rd February at 1 pm. 

Don't forget that the CD Sunday challenge is all about making items using craft CD Roms. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp , but you must include something from a CD. So if you like colouring stamped images or digis you can still enter the challenge but you must include something from a CD such as a backing paper, a sentiment or a butterfly for example. In your blog post you must give the name of the CD you've used. This is especially important if the items you've used can be bought as a download as well as a CD as the Design Team can't tell which has been used unless you tell us. Your card can't be considered for a prize if you haven't used a CD or if you haven't told us the name of the CD in your post. The Design Team still leave comments on the blogs but there's no chance of winning if the above hasn't been followed.

'J' is for.......... - CD Sunday

Time for a new theme at CD Sunday - the first one of 2018! It's Wynn's turn to pick a theme and she's chosen 'J is for........'.

Don't forget to pop over to the CD Sunday blog as I've picked the Top Three entries for my Christmas Present theme from 3rd December.

I couldn't decide what to do for this one, I even went through the dictionary looking at all the words under J. I decided to give up for a while and make a card for hubby's favourite aunty. As I was looking through my craft CDs I came across the perfect image - not just for aunty but also for the challenge. It just shows that sometimes it pays to have a break if Mr Mojo doesn't want to play!

The CD I used was The Big One Volume 2 from La Pashe. There's a section called The Wrinklies and I used the Jiggle Belles design. The backing paper, main image and decoupage pieces were all on an A4 sheet. I took the page into Craft Artist and adjusted it to fit a 6 x 6 card. All I did was glue the backing paper to a card blank, made a mat from gold card and added the main image. 

The decoupage pieces were just the heads and bra tops of the ladies on the left and right. The lady in the middle had several pieces to decoupage including a full body image. I added gems to their belly buttons and went over some of their costume with a Sparkle pen.

Now with a name like the Jiggle Belles surely there should have some movement! So I added a spring to the second image of the middle lady. I made the spring by winding thin wire around a pencil. Now when you touch her she Jiggles LOL!

I've attached a video of her moving.

I hope you find time to enter the challenge - it's open until Saturday 20th January at 1 pm.
