#83 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 recently bought some new Tonic die sets and couldn’t wait to make a card with them. There are two sets which have interchangeable dies and they make a dome front to the card. The set I used for this card is Tonic Spring Garden Dome Card Die Set. This is for someone I worked with between 2002 and 2008. We lost touch for a while after both leaving the company but we’re now back in touch and still friends.


  

  

I printed a sheet of card on both sides using a Create and Craft Digital Portfolio Glimmer Shimmer USB. The picture on the USB didn’t show that it printed out as an ombre effect – peach through to light orange, really pretty. I die cut the base layer from this sheet and then cut the other filigree dies from Limetree Craft Ice Gold Shimmer card. Lovely in real life as it shimmers - hence the name! I then finished with Nuvo Dream Drops in ‘Rudolph’s Nose’ (more of an orange red). 
This is the inside of the card before gluing the ‘dome’ front on. 

I used the other set of dies to make this card for my older sister. I didn't take a photo of it but this is one she took once she'd received it.


The challenge will close on Saturday 30th 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.

#82 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This card is for someone in a birthday card swap. 
The base card is roughly 8 by 8 but I made it by joining two pieces of card together. The card is from Ross Papercrafts and has embossed lines running across it and is a beautiful shimmering gold but sadly the camera hasn’t picked it up.




The base layer is card by Anna Marie designs, it’s a pale lemon colour but again the camera hasn’t got the colour quite right. 
I then printed a sheet of pink card using a Create and Craft Digital Portfolio USB – Volume 15 Watercolour Paper Effects. The die is also from Anna Marie Design – Dottie Ringlets. Sometimes I cut the small circle off but this time I kept it intact. The ‘Just for You’ die is from Creative Craft Products Ultimate Ribbon Sentiments Everyday Die Set and is also cut from the same printed pink card.
I finished the front off with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Shimmering Rose and tiny flowers that I’ve had for ever in my stash. 
On the inside I used my favourite Happy Birthday die by Tonic Studios also cut from the pink printed card.
