#182 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 like Steampunk designs as does my lovely teamie Carol. As her birthday is in April I decided to make her a Steampunk card instead of the usual pretty floral ones I send her. She will have opened her card by now so this isn’t spoiling the surprise for her.
This second photo is with the stand I made to display the card.

Loads of things used to make this card:

Carnation Crafts – for the base card I used Wedding Volume from Fairy Tale Day Collection.
Serif Craft Artist – for the background paper I used Daisy Trail Steam Punk Inventor.
Debbi Moore Designs – the two characters are from Match It Steam Punk 2 USB and die sets DMMI112 and DMMI114. As well as cogs and keys.
John Next Door – large clock and corner dies from a set free with Box Magazine #11. And Happy Birthday die set JND596 Vertical Birthday – my new favourite sentiment die set!
More cogs, sentiment and card stand from die sets by Couture Creations (Clockwork CO725843) and Card Making Magic by Christina Griffiths (Happy Birthday DIOB0534 and Easel Card Stand DIOB0546).

The challenge will close on Friday 8th May 2026 at 9pm.

#181 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.
My card for this challenge is yet another Carnation Crafts design. I love using their dies and vignettes – they make such pretty cards.

I turned a landscape card so the fold is at top. Then embossed green pearlised card using Tonic’s Annabel A4 folder. The centre is made using dies and vignettes from Carnation Crafts Summer pursuits Collection – Delightful Daisies. Two outline dies used, one from white and one from the same green pearlised card. The flowers were decoupaged.
The challenge will close on Friday 24th April 2026 at 9pm.
