#124 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

As usual the theme is Anything Goes at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge - 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.

When someone I know has a big birthday I like to make what I call my showstopper card! I’ve made several in the past for 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays. An Aunt will be 90 in January so I’ll be making one for her after Christmas.

 

The design is a downloaded SVG file and cut on my Scan N Cut. I’ve had my machine for years and I’m getting more into using it.
Items used:
Sandra’s Scrapshop (closed): - Bow card SVG file.
Crafter’s Companion: Flowery paper from Garden Gnomes 12 x 12 paper pad. Gemini Stitch Edge Oval dies.
Plain pink 12 x 12 card, lace, numbers and gems from my stash.

The challenge will close on Saturday 9th December 2023 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 want to enter but don’t have a blog - The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

#123 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

My team mate Carol (who writes the blog posts) likes to make cards with stitching on. Her stitching is far better than mine so don’t look too closely Carol LOL!
I saw this stitch pattern on a Facebook post and liked it so much I bought it from Add Some Sparkle. 

 

I didn’t like the decoupage sheets that came with the stitch pattern so I used a topper printed from a CD. The three angels have been printed twice and one layer used for decoupage. I don’t enjoy fussy cutting so it’s rare to see me cut anything out!

So far this is my one and only Christmas card made for this Christmas. I think I’d better get a wriggle on LOL!
Items used:
Stitch pattern: Stitch & Do Kit 137 Big Guys Christmas.
CD image: My Craft Studio The Best of MCS Christmas (bought in 2012!).
Tonic Studios: Craft Perfect card stock in red and green.
Crafts Too: Coconut White Essentials Card.
