#47 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

The theme for the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is Anything Goes. You must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download and you must state where the item used is from.

Earlier this year I made a card using a backing paper I’d printed off. I’d printed 4 copies of this paper as I kept slightly altering the printer settings to get the colour and look I wanted. I’ve blogged two other cards I’d made with this paper and this is the third one – they all look so different!

Today’s card is for my youngest sister – the baby of the family, she’s 51 LOL! I’m from a large family of 5 boys and 4 girls and the ages range from 52 to 74.

I attached the aforementioned backing paper to a 6 x 6 card blank and then added various die cuts over the top. I finished it off with a resin flower and pink pearls. 

 Items used:

Tattered Lace USB Ultimate Magazine Collection Issues 1-40 (paper is from issue 12).

Tonic Studios Seamlessly Beautiful Crystal Sphere Die Set and Verso Corner Pansy Arch die set (won in a blog draw many years ago)

Green card from my stash.

The challenge will close on Saturday 7th November 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. In your blog post/Facebook entry you must give the name of the printed item you've used.

We also have a Facebook page if you don't have a blog - The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

These are the other 2 cards made with the same backing paper.

#46 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

 The theme for the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is Anything Goes. You must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download and you must state where the item used is from.

I belong to a craft forum and we have regular card swaps using a theme. The latest one was ‘Use green, pink and white’. I’d just had a new die collection from Carnation Crafts delivered and had printed out the downloadable vignettes ready to make a card and luckily the colours I’d chosen fitted this theme.

 

I used an A5 card blank and cut a mat from the A Little Bit Fancy Perfect Papers - it’s actually 300gsm card. I then cut out the card shape die from the collection using the vignette in pale green. I used it as a sort of trellis rather than the card base. I then cut out several of the Balloon Flowers and snipped into some of the die cuts to make a fuller flower arrangement which I also layered up. 


Items used:

Carnation Crafts: Perfect Papers, Card Shape die and Balloon Flower die all from the A Little Bit Fancy Collection.

The challenge will close on Saturday 24th October at 1pm.
