CAS110: Out-of-the-Box (3/14/11): Clean and Simple Cards

Miss Boo · 03-13-2011, 07:17 PM

Congratulations to the winners of the DT reveal party challenges: TrishG and die cut diva! You ladies have earned a spot as a guest designer this season.

*************************

What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple. Below is the reworded definition.

It's all about the design.
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments

It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point

It's all about the design.

Clean & Simple

~~~CAS WEEKLY CHALLENGE~~~

March 14
Technique Challenge: Out-of-the-Box
Here's a sample by bfinlay who happens to be this week's featured stamper! This is the card she made for the CAS challenge 2 weeks ago.
Please also see our design team samples for more inspiration. There are many different ways to achieve this look!

Here's an explanation found on TLC247: This technique works great when you have an image that you want to extend past the edge of the frame you want to use. Whether it's a flower, a tree, a turkey, using Nestabilities, or Coluzzels, you can create interest and drama to your projects. (This link includes a pdf file tutorial.

KEYWORD: CAS110
It's also great to add the keyword: CAS so that you're in two galleries.

Leave some love for our tremendous & devoted design team. Here are some samples to help you get started:

Lisa's Card
Maureen's Card
Regina's Card

Mine's a one layer card so I've done classic out of the box rather than die cut out of the box, hope that's OK!

susanbri · 03-18-2011, 05:42 PM

A great challenge, Jen, as I've been meaning to try doing "out of the box" with Nesties for ages. So this challenge finally prompted me to do it. Trickier than it looks! But I finally succeeded:
