I always enjoyed creating a CAS card (Clean and Simple). A CAS design should have lots of white space, few layers, and little or no embellishments. There are no limits on how you can use your stamps, ink, paper, and dies to create a CAS project.
Here’s how I put mine together.
- The Very Vanilla card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, and scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
- The Very Vanilla card front layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″. I used one of the larger Stitched With Whimsy Dies to create a “stitched” outline on this layer.
- The leaves are die cut from the Autumn Leaves Dies using the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper.
- I stamped the sentiment with Copper Clay ink.
- For a little shine, I scattered a few Gold Festive Pearls.
- I added a strip of patterned paper to the bottom of the inside of the card, and stamped one of the leaf vein images from the Autumn Leaves stamp set.
A CAS card is quick and easy, and the simplicity of the design is always pretty.
So, find a great border die, add a few die cut images, a sentiment, pop the layer up on Dimensionals, and create a quick and easy CAS card.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
