#68 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

As usual the theme at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge 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.

For my Design Team make this time I’ve chosen a card I made for my next door neighbour. He’s very hands on with DIY and he works as a caretaker/handyman at a local school. I knew I had a CD rom with the perfect image and background scene.

I covered a card blank with silver mirror card and then glued the ‘shed’ image onto it. The man was from a decoupage sheet on the CD and holds a pint of beer in his left hand. I didn’t want this in the final image so I searched my Craft Artist digikits and found a mug that was suitable which fitted perfectly in his hand hiding the pint glass! I don’t enjoy fussy cutting as I’m not very good at it but managed to cut out three layers of decoupage and they don’t look too bad.

I die cut lots of nuts, bolts and tools from mirror card and placed them around the shed. The centres of the nuts are little circles and would normally be waste but I used them to hang up some of the tools and I think they worked!

  

 Items used: 

Creative Crafting World: landscape base card 5 x 7. 

Just Inklined The Big One CD: Framin’ Cards Set 2 – DIY Tool Shed #1 for the background. Flippin’ Men Flippin’ DIY decoupage sheet for the guy.

Tools were all cut using a set of dies free with Die Cutting Essentials Issue 51.

The challenge will close on Saturday 11^th September 2021 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.

#67 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

Thanks to everyone who entered the CD Sunday Plus Challenge over the last two weeks. I was host and I now need to pick my Top Three choices – not an easy task with so many gorgeous makes to choose from!

As usual the theme at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge 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. Please also remember we only allow three entries per person, per challenge.

I’ve previously mentioned that Tonic had a Spring card making challenge back in April.  I made a card for each of the eight daily themes and this card was for Picnic Time. 

I was sure I’d find something suitable in my Craft Artist digi kits and I was right! There was a predesigned scene and I added a few things like the blue sky, sun, clouds, deckchairs and picnic basket.

I just matted it onto card in coordinating colours and layered it all up.

Items used: 

Serif Craft Artist – Beside The Sea, Playground, Pirates, Pin up Cheesecake, Stroll in the Park, Victoria Nelson’s Country Day Out and Craft Scapes Riverside Walk, English Town, Summer Seaside. 

Presscut – Nesting Dies Stitch Dot Squares. Presscut Nesting Dies – Plain Squares and Stitched Squares.

#66 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

 It’s my turn to host the challenge at The CD Sunday Plus Blog for the next two weeks. I’ll be picking the Top Three and they’ll be posted on the Challenge Blog on 29^th August (challenge number 68).

Regular visitors to my blog will know that I belong to a birthday card swap on a crafting forum and this card was made for one of my fellow swappees! 

It’s not clear from the photo but this ‘cup’ was glued on using Pinflair Glue Gel to bring it forward on the card. I’ve snipped a few extra items and added them to make it look fuller – just like the containers on crafters’ desks!

    

Items used: 

Carnation Crafts - dies and vignettes from the Crafty Little Things Collection, Tools Of The Trade, Quick Note, Reels of Ribbon and Not Messy……. Creative sentiment. The backing paper is also from the same collection. 

Creative Crafting World – 5 by 7 landscape card blank.
