I backed this with gold mirri and cut another layer. I used the matching backing paper from the CD and covered the whole of an 8 x 8 card. I then added die cut snowflakes and ribbon together with a sentiment to finish.

#23 - Anything Goes

It's another CD Sunday Plus Challenge and this time I am hosting.  

Here is my card made using Magical Christmas Moments CD. I chose one of the lovely images and layered this onto red satin card. I then used a snowflake backing paper from the CD and layered this onto red mirri card both of which are from Crafter's Companion. I covered an 8 x 8 card with gold centura pearl card from CC as well. The baubles were cut using a Spellbinders die and finished off with ribbon. I then added a peel off greeting to mirri card and cut around it. 

I used a couple more of the backing papers for an insert. 

There were a few smaller images on the sheet so I added one to the back of the card to finish the whole thing off.

Here is my card made using Enchanting Realm. I used a die to cut the main shape of my card. All the papers and images are from the CD. I just added some rainbow ribbon and a few novelty buttons. 

I added some more of the backing paper and a sentiment to the inside. 

There are matching envelopes on this CD so I decided to make one to fit my card.

Well here we are in September already. This year is going so quickly I wish I could slow it down a bit so that I can catch up!

The CD Sunday Plus Challenge this time is hosted by .........ME!

I have used Enchanted Dreams CD by Joanna Sheen which features the paintings of Josephine Wall. This image was taken from the Zodiac section on the CD. I used one of the zodiac dies from Crafter's Companion to cut out Pisces in silver mirri card and added some gems.

This time we have a Summer Prize Challenge for you which is SUMMER HOLIDAYS. 

We have changed the name to CD Sunday Plus as it has been decided to incorporate digital downloads, USBs as well as CDs as permitted source material so that we move with the times. We will still need to know where the material used came from so please include this in your project description for us.

The main blog will now be known as CD Sunday Plus. 

For this summer holiday themed card I have used an image from the Joanna Sheen CD Nostalgia Collection featuring paintings by Kevin Walsh because it reminded me of my childhood summer holidays.

#16 - Anything goes using a CD

It's another CD Sunday Challenge and this time Wynn is hosting.  

I have used The Royal Horticultural Society Collection CD by Joanna Sheen for this card. I thought this would be a lovely image to use as there are so many pretty flowers around at this time of year. 

I decided to decorate the inside of this card instead of just putting my usual style of insert in it as I had some of the pretty backing paper left over.

It's another CD Sunday Challenge and this time Jane is hosting.  

I saw one of our wonderful followers (Meg) use this technique recently and decided to give it a go as it is a 'new to me' card design. You can find a tutorial here. I used the Mabel Lucie Attwell CD Volume 2 from Katy Sue Designs for the papers, sentiments and main image.

#14 - Anything Goes using a CD

We have a new challenge and this time Carol is hosting.  I found this lovely image on Pollyanna Pickering's Countryside Collection CD from Creative Crafting World. 

I used an A5 card in steel grey. I layered the backing paper, also from the CD, onto chocolate card from Creative Crafting World. I then used a die to cut a circle from the grey card, on top of that I added another circle of white card. This die was free from a magazine Christmas 2017. I then used the patterned circle from the CD followed by the topper. The flower dies are by Tim Holtz also cut in grey. I then used a white pen to put small dots over the flower heads to reflect the one in the picture.

#13 - Anything Goes using a CD

We have a new challenge and this time I'm hosting the challenge. Eeek!

I have used Tom Mielko CD from Joanna Sheen for the main image and backing paper.

I used an 7 x 7 card and covered the whole card with the backing paper. I mounted the image onto sliver glitter card and attached this to the front of the card. 

I then used Marianne dies for the shells, lighthouse and anchor.

We have a new challenge and this time Margaret is hosting.  I have used a backing paper from Animal Antics CD from Joanna Sheen.

I used an 6 x 6 card and layered the backing paper onto brown card from Creative Crafting World. The Sentiment is also a die from Creative Crafting World. 

The two cat dies reminded me of our two cats, Bramble with the blue bow and Poppy wearing the pink bow. :-)

#11 - Anything Goes using a CD

We have a new challenge and this time Wynn is hosting.  I found this lovely image on The Tweedies CD from Crafter's Companion. 

I used an 8 x 8 card and made several mats and layers using different backing papers, also from the CD, onto chocolate card from Creative Crafting World. 

I added some brown lace to the first mat and layer to reflect the materials used in the main image and give a slightly vintage feel. I added a sentiment 'Just for You' so that this card could be used for any occasion and I think it would work equally well for male or female.

#10 - Anything Goes using a CD

A new challenge for  12  May 2019 at CD Sunday Challenge Blog. Meg is hosting this one. Sadly this will be Meg's last challenge as part of the DT. 

Here is my card for this week:

I chose my image and backing papers from a CD that I haven't looked at for ages. It is Asian Mystique from Little Lou's Craft Supplies. The topper came from a sheet with several images on so I have decoupaged just one layer. I matted one backing paper onto gold mirri and then passed the other one through a hot foiling machine to add extra richness. I then added peel off edges and corners. I matted the main image on gold glitter card and blue mirri. I then added a couple of gems to her jewelry and a gold bow.

I've used a backing paper and image from the really sweet Precious Petals CD by Joanna Sheen using photos from award winning photographer Valerie Tabor Smith. I just added some ribbon and a bow to finish it off. Perfect to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. The proud parents have called her Hazel Rose.

I've used an image and backing paper from Once Upon a Fairytale CD by Debbi Moore. 

The gold paper I used to cover the entire card is from some very old stash - I think Kings Foils (?)

The elegant lady is decoupaged (not too difficult to cut out) and I used a strip of the backing paper across the middle of the card to layer her onto. The red border strips are cut from a Tattered Lace die. The sentiment is also from the CD.

I decided to make a twisted easel card for this birthday card. I've got a friend who loves all things teddy bear related so this will be perfect for her birthday. 

The decoupage image and papers along with the sentiments are all from Debbi Moore Designs CD Shabby Chic Vintage Bears.

The decoupage was easy to cut out with no fiddly pieces. Hopefully you can see all the layers from this side shot. 

#1 Anything Goes with a CD

Happy New Year!

Here we go with the first challenge of 2019 at CD Sunday. Anything Goes so feel free to join in. We just need to know which CD you have used to create your card.

I've used a CD by Dolly Dimples Crafts called Alice in Fabulous Land. This CD allows you to design your own image using the elements on the CD and then also creates a series of matching backing papers with the same design. The die is a new one for me from a company I've not come across before called Jeanine's Art. Will definitely be ordering a few more of these!

I think the colours show up a bit better in this one.
