Krafty Chicks Challenge #738: CAS

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge?? On the third week of the month, I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS. I always have a difficult time with the true CAS design of lots of white space but I've come to realized after all this time that there's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple). So just have fun with it.

 

I'm posting this card late but I'm glad I waited. My Paper Pumpkin subscription box was delivered yesterday (Thursday) and so I cleared my schedule (household chores can wait) for the morning to play. I created an alternative to the kit which I often like to do to get more use out of it. This all-inclusive kit makes 10 cards (5 each of 2 designs) and comes with the envelopes already decorated. In case you haven't noticed, I also used Layout #5 from page 22 of the Annual Catalogue. I reference that page a lot for inspiration. I made it my own by rotating the card to landscape and instead of a big banner in the background I went with a rectangle.

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Paper Pumpkin October 2024: Nests of Christmas
  
• Card Stock:Thick White (159229)
  
• Ink Pads: Shaded Spruce (ink spot included in the kit)
  
• Accessories: Sparkle Gems (161288), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
   

 

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating image (die cut) and some left over DSP. Envelope was already beautifully decorated, so I didn't touch it. Keep it simple!
