#157 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Challenge Blog

It's 15 years since I first entered a card into the CD Sunday Challenge blog on 3rd May 2010. In those days you could only use items from a craft CD. CDs have now been replaced by USBs and downloads but I still have hundreds of CDs in my stash! 

This card was for my late husband's only remaining auntie. She's a very special lady but sadly she now has dementia. She loves flowers so I went all out with this card!

The card base is made using Carnation Crafts Wild Stepper Card Shape. I covered it in pink card from my stash. Then decorated with flowers from Into Summer Collection – Lovely Lilies, Terrific Tulips, Graceful Gladiolus. I snipped into some of the die cuts and turned them around to use the backs and fill in any gaps.

No sentiment on the front as she likes to keep my cards on display after her birthday.

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.

The challenge will close on Saturday 10^th May 2025 at 1pm.

#156 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

On the 18th April it will be 15 years since the first challenge for The CD Sunday Blog Challenge. I think the challenge has done well to survive this long. It's had to keep up with changes in the digital world so as well as CDs you can now use images from USBs and digital downloads - including cutting files.

I haven’t used my Scan N Cut for a while and wanted to make something using an SVG. I found a layered rabbit shaped design on Etsy that I liked.

My make this time is for a forum swap with the theme of Spring. The card stock is all from my stash.

I added an extra layer on the back for a stand.

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.

#155 Anything Goes - C D 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 made this card for a little girl on her second birthday. I think these dies are just so cute!

I made a tri fold card and covered it in backing papers from my stash.

The dies and vignettes are by Carnation Crafts. I have loads of their collections and I think they make such lovely cards.

All three die sets are from the Bundles of Joy Collection - Riley the bear, Jessie the giraffe and Piper the elephant. 

Each die comes with two outline dies. I cut one from white card and the largest one from card that matched the colour in the main images.

#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.

#153 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

As usual the theme is Anything Goes at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.  

I used an 8 by 6 landscape card blank from Creative Crafting World that I turned so the fold was at the top. The backing paper I found in my stash but have no idea where it’s from.

The dies and vignettes are from Carnation Crafts. Magic Mirror from Fond Memories Collection and Totally Made Up from Oh So Chic Collection. I cut the centre of the mirror from silver mirror card using a die from the set. The card was finished with glass dew drops in very pale pink.

The challenge will close on Saturday 15^th March 2025 at 1pm.
