#81 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This time at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge it’s my turn to be host which means I get to pick the Top Three from all the entries. I look forward to visiting all your blogs and leaving a comment.
As usual the theme 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.
My make this time is a card for a birthday swap that I’m in. The lady who runs the swap has the first birthday of the year so this card is for her.
This is the card opened out:
 

I used a USB that was new to me – fairly recently purchased. I’d seen these USBs before Christmas but they were very expensive. I’m glad I held off from buying them because they were reduced to £5 a USB – so I bought several of them LOL! The one I used for this card is Create and Craft Digital Portfolio Linen Paper Effects Vol II. I like the look of linen card but it can be expensive to buy, now I can print it off in 30 different colours.
I printed on the back and front of a sheet of white card because gatefold cards display both sides. I then used white card for the die cuts – Tonic Inspired Elegance Gatefold Creator Die Set.  The Happy Birthday is a Paper Boutique die.
I finished off with baker’s twine in French Blue and Nuvo Glitter Drops in Dazzling Blue.
And this is the card closed: 



The challenge will close on Saturday 2nd April 2022 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.

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

#80 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
I have a great niece who was 10 just after Christmas. She loves fairies so I’d planned on making her a fairy themed card until her dad told me she’d wanted to go Go Karting on her birthday. I decided to make a stepper card with Go Karting images on each side piece.


Some of the images were downloaded from the internet and some are from Serif Craft Artist – a digi kit called Classic Transport. 
Sadly my niece didn’t get her Go Karting day as she tested positive for Covid and was quite ill with it on her birthday. Once she started feeling better her dad came down with it! Wished I’d stuck to fairies now. I did text her dad and told him that if he felt my card would upset her to keep it away from her. He did give her my card because she knew she’d get her Go Karting day at some point. 
The challenge will close on Saturday 19th March 2022 at 1pm.
