#109 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.

The theme for a card swap I’m in was Lavender and Lace and this is the card I made:

 I covered an 8 by 8 card blank with backing paper from a Paper Boutique USB – it was originally in paper kit form but they’ve put a lot of their designs on USBs now. The background die is just a 2 inch wide strip Tonic die which I cut three times and glued to green card stock, also from Paper Boutique. The sprigs of lavender are dies and vignette from Carnation Crafts and the sentiment from Tonic.

I finished the card by adding some Nuvo Crystal drops but smudged one and thought I’d ruined the card. I managed to remove the ‘smudged’ drop but it stained the card purple. I thought I had nothing to lose and covered the stain with white ink from a Pen-Touch pen – I think I got away with it as it’s barely noticeable!

I dug out the paper kit and used some toppers to decorate the inside of the card.

 

Items used:

Creative Crafting World: 8by8 card blank, Paper Boutique Lavender Fields both the paper kit and USB - The Paper Pantry Vol VI. Green card is from the matching card collection.

Tonic Studios: Constance Lace Die 1741e, Enjoy Sentiment strip die 2584e and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Violet Galaxy.

Carnation Crafts: Dried Flower die and vignette from the Fond Memories Collection

The challenge will close on Saturday 13^th May 2023 at 1pm.

#108 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

On Create and Craft recently they were selling off USBs from the Digital Portfolio range. These used to be on the original Create and Craft and I guess they’re old stock that the current Create and Craft are trying to get rid of. I saw them when they were first aired on the channel and liked the look of them but they were a really silly price for all 15 USBs. There’s only 30 papers on each USB so not worth the price they were asking. I’m glad I waited as I’ve slowly been able to get all 15 USBs at a much cheaper price (around £5 ish each USB).

For this card I used the Watercolour Paper Effects USB.

 I really like the designs that John Lockwood (John Next Door) brings out and have used sets from his latest releases and his gold mirror card. There’s nothing technical to this card - I’ve just layered up the die cuts.

I also decorated the inside as I had some backing paper left over. 

 

 

Items used:

Crafts Too: John Next Door – 6’’ Layering die set JND351, Pretty Chic range –Chic Square CTPCoo3 and Chic Circle CTPC002 (the wreath has been cut away and just the flowers used) and Mirror card in Vintage Gold.

Card Making Magic by Christina Griffiths – Lacey Ribbon 7’’ die set.

Creative Craft Products: Ultimate Ribbon Sentiments Everyday Die Set.

Tonic Studios: Happy Birthday die set.

#106 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’m host for the CD Sunday Challenge this time. I needed to make a card for a birthday swap I’m in so decided to use the card as my design team make.

I like some of Chloe’s Creative Cards flower dies and stamps and she recently released floral background and border dies which is what I used on this card. I printed a paper off A Pop of Colour USB (by David Wait) from the Watercolour folder and used the largest background die to cut out the base layer. The main floral background die was then used to cut out the white layer.

I printed the same paper onto vellum which was die cut using Chloe’s Christmas Rose die which I then stamped using Versamark ink and the matching Christmas Rose stamp. The embossing powder I used is Powdered Snow by WOW. The stamens and foliage are die cut from Tonic’s Silver Glitter card.

I decided to decorate the inside of the card using Chloe’s Floral Lace Border and a sentiment from Creative Craft Products.

Items used: 

Chloe’s Creative Cards: Floral Lace Background and Border die sets. Christmas Rose die and stamp set. Dazzling Foliage die and stamp set.

Creative Craft Products: Ultimate Ribbon Sentiments Everyday die set.

In The Studio with David Wait: A Pop of Colour USB.

WOW embossing powder in Powdered Snow.

Gems from stash.

My make for this fortnight is a birthday card for an aunt who was 89 in January. She loves the colours lilac and purple so I always try and use it somewhere in my card. Carnation Crafts design dies and vignettes that always make a statement card. I used the Begonia Blooms dies and vignettes in this card. 

The green backing paper is also from Carnation Crafts – Misty Morning Collection. I printed a second sheet of paper to decorate inside as I had a couple of begonia die cuts left over that I didn’t layer up on the front.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts: Summer Radiance Collection Begonia Blooms Die set and vignettes. Backing Paper from Misty Morning Collection.

Paper Boutique: Sentiments Vol II and 6X6 card blank.

From stash: purple gems.
