#154 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.

I decided I wanted to use the Rose Handbag die set from Carnation Crafts collection Perfect Accessories. When I looked through the matching vignettes there was one in various shades of grey that I really liked.

 I searched through my stash of coloured card and couldn’t find any shades of grey that were suitable so I turned to my craft USBs. I chose a Digital Portfolio Linen Paper Effects Volume II and printed off papers from folders 2, 3 and 5. I layered two of the papers onto an 8 by 6 landscape card blank from Creative Crafting World. I then used a third shade to cut out Carnation Crafts Elongated Frame #2. 

The handbag and rose die cuts were raised on foam tape. I then cut the sentiment from the final shade – Chloes Creative Cards Sentiments Die Set (free from Die Cutting Essentials Issue 100). Finished with glass dew drops in clear.

 

The challenge will close on Saturday 29th March 2025 at 1pm.

#85 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

The host for this fortnight’s challenge was supposed to be Carol but as she’s due to have some medical treatment I’ve swapped with her and she will be host for the challenge following this one. I’m sure we all send Carol our good wishes and fingers crossed she’ll soon be free from pain.

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 make is a card for the forum birthday swap that I’m in. I fancied making a pointed crossover card so made the base card using an 8 by 8 inch card blank. I covered the inside with a dark green paper. The three front sections I cover with a very pretty floral paper from a Paper Boutique kit – A Garden In Provence. Having made the base card I then needed something to put in the centre and decided to use a butterfly die by Paula Pascual. She’s released a range of journal dies called Miss P Loves Boundless Journal dies and one set is a huge butterfly.

I printed out a paper from a Digital Portfolio USB which I then die cut the butterfly from. That was then backed by a paper from my stash. I don’t have any details of what it’s called but it has almost a fabric feel to it and looks a different colour depending on how the light falls on it.

Inside the card I used more of the Garden in Provence paper and used a butterfly border die down the edges and backed it with white. I then added a Happy Birthday sentiment cut out of scraps left from the papers already used.

                         

Items used:

Creative Crafting World: 8 by 8 inch card blank, pink flowery paper from The Paper Boutique A Garden in Provence 8 by 8 paper pad, green card from one of their card packs, square die from The Paper Boutique Happy Birthday die set and Happy Birthday die from their sentiments Vol. II.
Miss P Loves: Boundless Journal Butterfly Page MPL011.
Create and Craft: Digital Portfolio Metallic Paper Effects Vol.14.
Crafter’s Companion: Scattered Butterflies border die
 
The challenge will close on Saturday 28^th May 2022 at 1pm.

#81 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This time at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge it’s my turn to be host which means I get to pick the Top Three from all the entries. I look forward to visiting all your blogs and leaving a comment.

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 make this time is a card for a birthday swap that I’m in. The lady who runs the swap has the first birthday of the year so this card is for her.

This is the card opened out:

 

I used a USB that was new to me – fairly recently purchased. I’d seen these USBs before Christmas but they were very expensive. I’m glad I held off from buying them because they were reduced to £5 a USB – so I bought several of them LOL! The one I used for this card is Create and Craft Digital Portfolio Linen Paper Effects Vol II. I like the look of linen card but it can be expensive to buy, now I can print it off in 30 different colours.

I printed on the back and front of a sheet of white card because gatefold cards display both sides. I then used white card for the die cuts – Tonic Inspired Elegance Gatefold Creator Die Set.  The Happy Birthday is a Paper Boutique die.

I finished off with baker’s twine in French Blue and Nuvo Glitter Drops in Dazzling Blue.

And this is the card closed: 

The challenge will close on Saturday 2^nd April 2022 at 1pm.
