#179 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

It was lovely to see a couple of new people entering the Challenge last time. Hopefully they’ll join in again sometime soon.

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.

This card is for an elderly gentleman who lives in the same assisted living home as one of my friends. He’s quite a character and likes to find solutions to things. The background in this card is from a digi kit called ‘Inventor’ – I thought it was appropriate for him!

Lots of steps to the making of this card. Backing paper printed and glued to the card base. Light bulb stamped and then coloured with an alcohol marker. A couple of items printed from a USB and various die-cut items.

Items used:

Serif Craft Artist digikits – Daisy Trail Steam Punk Inventor.

Simply Card and Papercraft magazine – Stamps designed by Sheena Douglass.

Tonic Studios – yellow alcohol marker.

Debbi Moore Designs – images from the Steam Punk 2 USB and die cut with the Match it Dies.

John Next Door – Vertical Birthday dies set JND596.

Love Card Making magazine – cog die set.

The challenge will close on Friday 27^th March 2026 at 9pm.

#178 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

It's St David's Day today in Wales and the daffodils have bloomed right on time!

It’s my turn to be the host for the current  CD Sunday Plus Challenge . 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 card this time is a birthday card for an Aunt who is 92 years old and sadly has dementia. I like to add lots of detail to her card and she likes to keep it on display long after all her other cards are taken down. I loaded this one up with lots and lots of flowers!

I cut two of the white card bases and joined them together at the top. Everything is from Carnation Crafts except the sentiment.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts - Bountiful Frames-Plump Peaches Frame and Fruits of Labour Collection - A Small Token and Home Grown.

The Paper Boutique Sentiments Vol II – Just for You.

Card Making Magic by Christina Griffiths - Happy Birthday Die Set (inside).

The challenge will close on Friday 13^th March 2026 at 9pm.
