CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge.  A close friend of mine has a birthday this week and she loves flowers. This is the card I made her:

I used a 6 x 6 card base and silver, purple and white card.  I used harlequin dies from tattered lace to create my layers.  The fuchsia's were printed from My Craft Studio Garden Party fuchsia cd-rom.  The flowers in the bottom corner are from the My Craft Studio Autumn Allure collection.  The sentiment was die-cut using a Sue Wilson Creative Expressions die.

Thanks for visiting and for any comments you leave, I love reading them all.

CD Sunday - 9th Birthday

Hello

CD Sunday are celebrating their 9th Birthday.  I love this challenge as it encourages me to use my CD's.  As it's a special celebration, I've gone to town and made three cards using a different cd for each.  My first card used the BeBunni baby cd-rom from Crafters' Companion.  I've made an eclipse card to welcome a new baby:

I used Create and Craft Glitter Card for the mat and flowers.  Hunkydory large alphabet dies for the letters, Sue Wilson Dies for the flowers and pearls from my stash.

Here is the link to the challenge:

Happy Birthday CD Sunday.

Happy Birthday From House Mouse

I love the house mouse, happy hoppers and gruffies images, they never fail to make me smile and I think when they are decoupaged it really brings them to life.  Decoupage remains my favourite technique although I am finding it more difficult to do with the deterioration in my eyesight and the arthritis in my hands.  What joy!  This card I made for one of my daughters; friends.

The decoupage image was printed from the House-mouse decoupage cd-rom from Joanna Sheen.  I think the backing paper was printed from the same cd-rom but I forgot to make a note, sorry!

I used an 8 x 8 card blank and Lynda Chapman's kraft card for all my mats.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes but must use an item from a cd-rom.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - Anything Goes or All About The Weather

Thelwell - Happy Birthday Megan

My niece Megan has just celebrated her birthday.  She is a big horse lover and this is the card I made for her.  

Over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog Meg is hosting the challenge which has a theme of 'Anything Goes using something from a craft cd'.  My card uses Crafters' Companions Thelwell cd-rom.

I made up one of the frame cards, which is also decoupaged.  I used a banner die also from crafters companion to create the bunting, and stamped the name using alphabet stamps from Dimension stamps.

Over at the Seize The Birthday Challenge they also have a theme of 'Anything Goes', I would like to enter my card in this challenge also.

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Challenge Anything Goes

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

May I start by wishing all my visitors a happy and healthy New Year.

The first challenge of 2019 has begun over at the CD Sunday Challenge and the theme for this challenge is Anything Goes.  Here is my card:

I used The Big One cd-rom from La Pashe to create my card, the decoupaged images and backgrounds were printed from the Flippin' Men section,  I added the decoupage to acetate as you get both a front and back view of the images.

I used a Peel off sentiment, a sentiment from the decoupage sheet, peel off numbers and die cut letters to personalise the card.

Happy Crafting

Once Upon A Christmas - Merry Christmas

This is another Christmas Card made with the 'Once Upon A Christmas II' cd-rom from Creative Crafting World.  The images on this cd-rom are beautiful.

I embossed an 8 x 8 card blank from Creative Crafting World with a Crafters' Companion embossing folder.  I matted the main image and the sentiment onto a matt gold card, also from CCW.  I decoupaged the baubles using just 1mm foam pads as this card will be going in the post.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

CD Sunday Challenge - Off The Cutting Room Floor

Hello and Welcome to my Blog today

Yesterday saw the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Blog.  I think it's a very clever challenge theme this time of 'Off The Cutting Room Floor'.  I'm a terrible hoarder and have a folder crammed full of part used pages I've printed off cd-roms.  Unfortunately, I rarely remember to look through this when making cards, but this challenge saw me heading straight to my folder and this is the card I came up with:

My card is made using an image and backing papers from Crafters' Companion BeBunni cd-rom,  I used a 6 x 6 card blank.  I die-cut 2 floral borders from white card stock using a spellbinders die.  I inked through the die to add colour to the petals.

I matted the topper onto white card and attached it to the card front using foam pads.  I die-cut the Happy Birthday sentiment from silver card using a tonic die.

I feel really pleased with myself that I've made a card which made good use of some papers that had been sat in a folder for quite some time, so a big thanks to CD Sunday for giving me the idea.

Happy Crafting

CD Sunday Challenge - Autumn Days

Hello and welcome to my blog.

This is my entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge and this time Jane has chosen the theme of Autumn Days.

This is the birthday card I have made for my brother-in-law.  The beautiful topper and decorative strip across the top are from Hunkydory.  I created an A5 card blank from Kraft card and then added a step to the front of the card so I could put an acetate cover on it.  I used some gold card from matting and layering and embossed some craft card using this beautiful embossing folder covered in leaves.  The ribbon for the bow and the Happy Birthday peel offs are from my stash.

For the inside of my card I re-visited an insert I had recently used.  The paper and insert are from Creative Crafting Worlds Pollyanna Pickering The Story so Far cd-rom.  I think this is lovely wording without being too much.  The card I used is gold and I have no idea why the colour is so out.  I can only think it's because the light wasn't great when I photographed it but I was in a rush to get the card in the post and forgot to check it first!

Please leave me a comment, I really do appreciate each and every one.
