#84 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. 

For the challenge this time I thought I’d share ATCs that I made for a forum ATC swap. The theme was Egging You On and we could use any designs as long as there was an egg on the ATC somewhere. We only need to make 2 ATCs but most of us make far more than that – I made 8 altogether!

Six of them were designed in Serif Craft artist using various digi kits - three by Victoria Nelson - Easter Eggs, Birds and Blooms, Enchanted Ruin. Plus Kate Hadfield’s Prehistoric and Daisy Trail’s Stroll in The Park and Dawn Chorus.

The first two ATCs have backgrounds from digikits and the chicks are fussy cut from an Hunkydory kit. The egg tree is an image from a digi kit with sky and grass combined to make a scene again using digi kits.

The two spotty birds ATCs have backgrounds and the bird images from the Hunkydory kit. The nests are from digi kits but the eggs were recoloured in Craft Artist before printing and fussy cutting them. The eggs were really tiny so fussy cutting them was a real labour of love – I must be mad! The last ATC with the duckling was from the Hunkydory kit and I added the cracking egg and broken egg shells. Again they were recoloured and resized in Craft Artist before fussy cutting out. 

The final two ATCs didn’t have any digital elements but I thought you might still like to see them. The baking one is from a magazine kit and the other one is cut from ‘oil on water’ effect card that I’ve had many years.

The challenge will close on Saturday 14^th May 2022 at 1pm.

#83 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 recently bought some new Tonic die sets and couldn’t wait to make a card with them. There are two sets which have interchangeable dies and they make a dome front to the card. The set I used for this card is Tonic Spring Garden Dome Card Die Set. This is for someone I worked with between 2002 and 2008. We lost touch for a while after both leaving the company but we’re now back in touch and still friends.

  

  

I printed a sheet of card on both sides using a Create and Craft Digital Portfolio Glimmer Shimmer USB. The picture on the USB didn’t show that it printed out as an ombre effect – peach through to light orange, really pretty. I die cut the base layer from this sheet and then cut the other filigree dies from Limetree Craft Ice Gold Shimmer card. Lovely in real life as it shimmers - hence the name! I then finished with Nuvo Dream Drops in ‘Rudolph’s Nose’ (more of an orange red). 

This is the inside of the card before gluing the ‘dome’ front on. 

I used the other set of dies to make this card for my older sister. I didn't take a photo of it but this is one she took once she'd received it.

The challenge will close on Saturday 30^th April 2022 at 1pm.

#82 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. 

This card is for someone in a birthday card swap. 

The base card is roughly 8 by 8 but I made it by joining two pieces of card together. The card is from Ross Papercrafts and has embossed lines running across it and is a beautiful shimmering gold but sadly the camera hasn’t picked it up.

The base layer is card by Anna Marie designs, it’s a pale lemon colour but again the camera hasn’t got the colour quite right. 

I then printed a sheet of pink card using a Create and Craft Digital Portfolio USB – Volume 15 Watercolour Paper Effects. The die is also from Anna Marie Design – Dottie Ringlets. Sometimes I cut the small circle off but this time I kept it intact. The ‘Just for You’ die is from Creative Craft Products Ultimate Ribbon Sentiments Everyday Die Set and is also cut from the same printed pink card.

I finished the front off with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Shimmering Rose and tiny flowers that I’ve had for ever in my stash. 

On the inside I used my favourite Happy Birthday die by Tonic Studios also cut from the pink printed card.

#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:

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 have a great niece who was 10 just after Christmas. She loves fairies so I’d planned on making her a fairy themed card until her dad told me she’d wanted to go Go Karting on her birthday. I decided to make a stepper card with Go Karting images on each side piece.

Some of the images were downloaded from the internet and some are from Serif Craft Artist – a digi kit called Classic Transport. 

Sadly my niece didn’t get her Go Karting day as she tested positive for Covid and was quite ill with it on her birthday. Once she started feeling better her dad came down with it! Wished I’d stuck to fairies now. I did text her dad and told him that if he felt my card would upset her to keep it away from her. He did give her my card because she knew she’d get her Go Karting day at some point. 

The challenge will close on Saturday 19^th March 2022 at 1pm.
