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.

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

A Halloween Rocker Card

 

Today I am showing you this cute Halloween rocker card.

I die cut a large black circle and folded it in half. I took a piece of digital papers from Nitwit Collection and cut it in half. I also die cut the same size circle in acetate. I then added the half piece of the orange paper to the acetate circle and then attached it to the black cardstock. 
I die cut the ghost and mouse bats from Marianne Design COL1473 Eline's Halloween die set. I attached the bats on top of the acetate circle and it looks like they are flying above the ghost. I think it is a fun card to give to a child.

A Black Cas Christmas Card

Today I am showing you a black christmas card in CAS style after getting back from a lovely 8 day vacation in Austria. At first I was afraid it would be a depressing card because of all the black but it is really elegant.

I made a black base card and added a smaller square panel on it. I then die cut a scalloped panel in black. I added 2 foiled sentiments by Spellbinders on the bottom and right side of the panel. I masked off the sides and sentiments and then added some splatters using some gold metallic paint. I die cut the christmas tree out of gold metallic cardstock and 3 times more in black cardstock. I glued them all together to give it more dimension.

I may even make some more colored CAS cards. I usually do white but colored CAS cards are also very elegant.

A Floral Birthday Card

Today I am showing you this cheerful birthday card

My base card is a soft red color. I cute a white panel and foiled it with a foil plate with little stars by Papertrey Ink using silver foil. I cut a rectangle border frame about 4 times and added some acetate between the first and second border frame to give it some dimension. I stamped and die cut some flowers and leaves and then colored them with my Ohuhu markers. I added them to the corners. After that I added a black panel underneath. To finsih it off I added a stamped and die cut sentiment by Gina K Designs.
