#140 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.

My lovely next door neighbour has just come home from hospital after an operation. She was diagnosed 11 years ago and has been on the waiting list for the past three years. After waiting so long the operation was a major one and took longer than usual. What is happening with our NHS?

I made her a Get Well card and a flower arrangement with Forever Flowerz.

I turned to DoCrafts Digital Designer for this card – I haven’t used it for quite some time. The folder I used is Tulip and Friends. With the Digital Designer you can design the card on screen and print it onto card then fold it in half and you’re done. I didn’t want to make a flat card though so I printed the elements separately, cut them out and layered them up. The flowers have been in my stash for many years but they had dark purple centres. I removed them and added clear dew drops.

The sentiment is from Tonic Studios – Get Well Sentiment Strip Die. And I finished the card off with some lilac gems.

These are the Forever Flowers I made:

The challenge will close on Saturday 31^st August 2024 at 1pm.

#139 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

Time for another challenge for The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

We’ve heard from our design teamie Aimes after her area was hit by Hurricane Beryl. Both her and her husband are OK but their property has had damage and their power is still intermittent. She has decided to withdraw from the design team for now. We all wish her well and hope she feels able to join us in the future.

I’ve been making a lot of ATCs recently and as some of them have used items that qualify for the CD Sunday Challenge I decided to use them for my design team make. These are for the themes of Birds and Things Beginning with R.

Items used:

All Carnation Crafts.Rabbits and Blue Tits – Dawn of Spring Collection Dawn Friends die set.

Robins – Family Christmas Collection The Robins die set, A Christmas Eve Quick Cards Collection Joys Of Christmas die set and Not Just For Christmas Collection Last Minute Wrapping die set.

The challenge will close on Saturday 17^th August 2024 at 1pm.

#138 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.

This challenge was due to be hosted by Aimes but Hurricane Beryl has caused a lot of damage and many people are still without power. We've had a quick message from Aimes and she and her hubby are both OK but the power situation makes it impossible for her to get on line so Carol has stepped in to host this one.

I started making cards back in 2005 – doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun LOL! A year later a made a Welsh themed birthday card for one of my brothers. The family moved to England after dad died and my brother Mark has always missed living in Wales. My Welsh card cheered him up so much that I kept up the trend of making Welsh themed cards for his birthday. I even managed it for the 3 years when my husband was ill and then passed away.

This card is now the nineteenth I’ve made:

The sweater is from a USB by Craft Master using My Craft Studio called A Jumper For All Seasons. It was originally a dull beige colour with areas of grey ‘slub’ effect. I changed the colour to a shade of green that was as near as I could get it to the Welsh flag. I also added an image of the Welsh dragon that I found on the internet. The sweater was then cut using the matching dies – Craft Master Nested Jumper. The USB and dies are meant to be Christmas designs but as soon as I saw them on Create and Craft it sparked this idea!

I die cut the green and red layers using nesting dies from Presscut that have a ‘stitch’ effect on the edges so that they would tie in with the main image of a sweater. I added a few Welsh dragon peel offs to the corners but I’m not sure they add anything to the finished card.

The challenge will close on Saturday 03^rd August 2024 at 1pm.

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.

My make for this challenge is a card for a swap on a forum. The theme was Black and White plus two colours.

I knew that I wanted to use a recent purchase – a set of dies designed by Dawn Wheeler.

I really like the lacy background die and I think the black and white really shows it off. The flower dies come in 4 different sizes which I layered up.

Items used:

Crafts-Too: Boujee by Dawn Wheeler Circle Base and Boujee Blooms die sets. 

Craft Artist Essential card – coconut white.

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

Carnation Crafts: Pro Print paper (to print the red and green from the USB.

Limetree Craft: Black Glitter Pearl card.

Pearls from stash.
