#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 8^th May 2026 at 9pm. 

#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.

Fezziwigs Festive Frolics - Cold and Frosty

The theme at Fezziwigs Festive Frolics is Cold and Frosty. Hazel has given us three weeks for the challenge instead of two this time but I'm still 'tail end Charlie' with my entry LOL! There's only 2 hours left to enter!

I've managed not one but three cards for this theme - three is the maximum number of entries allowed.

All my entries are made using Debbi Moore products. Match It Build a Scene 3D Santa Claus USB and Dies. They are very quick makes so no decoupage but I used Pinflair Glue Gel to raise the items up and shape them.

Hazel will be taking a well deserved break after this challenge ends. The next one will be in 6 weeks time on 18th August.
