A Christmas Cas Card

 

Today I am showing you a CAS card I made for a challenge at a Facebook group I recently joined.

I don't have a particular style because I like so many different techniques. However I do seem to have a fondness for CAS cards and I really wanna master the art of a CAS card so here is another one I just finished.

I cut a rectangle of 29 x 14,5 cm and scored it a 14,5 cm and folded it in half to make a square base card. I made it a top fold. I directly stamped a confetti border on the bottom of the front of the card directly on the base card. Underneath I stamped the sentiment. I used Ranger Black Archival Ink for that. Then I die cut a bunch of stars out of silver metallic paper and silver glitter paper. Under the right lamp is is super shiny and sparkly. However I wasn't able to capture that in the photos but it is lovely. After all I am a crafter and not a photographer. Well that is is. Making a CAS card doesn't really take a lot of time. It is the desicision you have to make that cost the most time.

I will be adding this to the following challenge:

CAS Card With Torn Strips

Today I am showing you this CAS style card with torn stripes.

I saw something similar on Instagram and made my own version. It is a great way to use up some of your scraps that you are still saving. I cut a piece of white cardstock of 29 x 14,5 cm and scored it on 14,5 cm. I took a piece of digital paper of Nitwit Collection and torn strips along a ruler of about 2cm width. The length of the strips is about 7,5cm. I added a die cut heart on each strip. I used various heart sets for this. I then went through my stamps and found this little cute sentiment For You in a tiny font and that fit the card so well. It is a quick and easy card and I really like the look of it.

Santa Clothesline Christmas Card

 

Today I ams showing this adorable card with a clothesline and all of Santa's recently washed clothes. So adorable. It is an older set of Cottage Cutz. The set is retired but you can always look for it on the second hand market as I did.

I cut a red rectangle base card. On that I added a medium green panel. The same color I used for some of the clothes. On that a digital paper from Nitwit Collections with a soft print from the collection All Is Calm. I then die cut all the parts and added them to the clothesline. I stamped a sentiment of Marianne Design underneath the clothesline to finish the card. A nice fun christmas card for my stash

Another Black Christmas Cas Card

Today I am showing another Cas Christmas card in black with gold.

I cut a piece of 29 x 14,5 cm of black cardstock and scored it at 14,5 cm and folded it in half.
I cut another piece of 12,5 x 12,5 cm and added a foiled sentiment from the Spellbinders 
Hot Foil Mini Christmas Sentiment Strip set using the glimmer machine. I then die cut a scalloped square and I masked off the edges and the splatter some gold paint onto it. I then die cut a star out of gold metallic cardstock, I also cut the star about 3 more times out of black cardstock and added them to the gold star to get some dimension.

All in all a simple elegant card but I really like it.

An Acetate Easel Birthday Card

 

Today I am showing you an acetate easel birthday card I made for my sister in law. Unfortunate I will not be able to attend the party myself but my husband will hand this over to her on our behalf.

I cut a rectangle 29 x 14,5 cm and scored it at 14,5 cm. I then die cut a circle out of the base card and then folded that in half to get the easel shape. I die cut some lighter blue card stock as a mat and then also in white. I embossed the white with a tuffed patterned embossing folder for the elegant look. It is a 3D folder and it's beautiful. I die cut a whole bunch of flowers from a die set of Scrap Diva. I inked the centers with blue in and added pearls centers on the larger flowers and small wooden beads on the smaller flowers. I die cut and punched some leaves from a Martha Stewart punch and from Elizabeth Craft and I also die cut some berry branch from Papertrey Ink Into The Blooms Anemone die set. I added little white pearls on that.

I then die cut a circle border in dark blue twice. And a smaller light blue circle strip to put onto the dark blue circle. I then die cut a piece of actetate to go behind the dark blue circle and added another dark blue circle behind the acetate circle to hide the adhesive. I also did this the same way with the large numbers. The numbers look like they are floating. The numbers are from Marianne Design. To finish the card I used a foiled sentiment of Carlijn Design in silver foil. I still had this on hand so just took it from my stash.

Well a bit of a long post but I hope it is clear on how I made this
