I think it’s time for a CAS card! CAS is an acronym for Clean And Simple. This means the design has lots of white space, few layers, and little or no embellishments.
I usually focus on patterned paper and color, so I forget about creating a CAS design. The dies in the Everyday Details Bundle are perfect for simple texture. Background texture works well in a CAS design. Embossing folders also create beautiful background texture.
I channeled my inner artist :), and used Watercolor Pencils and Stampin’ Blends to add color to my robin’s nest. I colored the eggs with a Light Balmy Blue Blend, and then used the Color Lifter to get creative and remove some of the color.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
- I cut a Thick Basic White cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5 1/2″.
- The Basic White cardstock card layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I used the long die from the Everyday Details Dies to die cut a “textured” side panel on the layer.
- I stamped the bird’s nst with Crumb Cake ink and used Watercolor Pencils to add a little color to it.
- The robin’s eggs are shaded with my Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, and I used the Color Lifter to add a little interest.
- The bird’s nest is die cut with the largest circle die in the Die Set.
- I stamped the sentiment with Crumb Cake ink and die cut it, as well.
- A few Iridescent Pasterl Gems add a little sparkle.
So, cut your white cardstock, add some texture on the side, stamp a peaceful image, and create a Clean and Simple card design.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
