CAS Challenge #1 - Inspired by Flannel
Welcome to the first official CAS challenge! The idea of CAS is to keep it Clean and Simple.
Definition: A clean and simple card has limited layers and sometimes just a card base. It leaves a lot of "open space". It uses little or no embellishments. Any techniques should be the old standard everyday kind like sponging, distressing and piercing. Limit the number of tools you use. Any colored images should be small and quick. Don't go overboard on tons of punches and embossing. CAS cards should be easy and quick.
This week's challenge is an inspiration challenge. When I go to Joann's for card making supplies, I always have to visit the fabrics. I cannot sew..... at all. (That's why I like faux stitching  ) But I love the patterns and often get inspiration from them.
I have attached 2 patterns from Joann's Snuggle Fabric line. But you can choose any of the Snuggle fabrics for your inspiration. Just put a link to the pattern in your comments when uploading.
My attachments didn't work. Here are the 2 fabrics that inspired my cards.

Please look at posts #2 and #10 for more exciting information about upcoming CAS challenge.
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!
Need help linking a card? Follow these instructions!
1. Open 2 windows: One window for your card and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Got to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
You’re done!

Taking Care of Business
I am looking for a Design Team to help me make samples for the challenges, help come up with new and creative ideas and step in and post the challenge if I'm out of town or sick... or something like that.
I will be looking for 3 people for a 3 month term. The first term will actually be a 3.5 month term because we're already well into February. So, the first 3 people will be on the team for the rest of February, March, April, and May.
Sometime in May, I will be looking for people for the next 3 month term.
Sound like fun?  Then send me 3 of your best CAS cards to my email address by Friday, February 13. I will let you know who the 1st 3 people are on Saturday. If you don't get chosen this time, don't worry... your turn will come.
My email address is
designsbyboo at hotmail dot com
Thanks for everyone who has shown support for CAS cards!
Hugs,
Jen |

This is so super cool! I love the idea of CAS because I feel its doable for me. I have been a stalker of the original favorites thread and truly do like looking at it, but sometimes it feels like being on the outside looking in. I hope to get to know you ladies better and really have fun doing these new challenges. Will they get a link on the home page like the other challenges or will it just be a seperate thread in the general forum?
Thanks again for starting this up  .

The plan right now is to keep it on Mondays. Some people who regularly do CAS cards are intimidated by the techniques so it seemed like a good fit to have 2 possibilities on that day. Of course, people can play in both too. There are also lots of good blog challenges on Mondays too.
The weekly challenge will be here for only a few weeks. Eventually it will be moved into the weekly challenge area where you find the technique, color, sketch, etc... challenges.
Thanks for the good questions. |

I'm so excited to be participating in the CAS Challenge!
Here's my card Love Bug. I wish I could say it was quick but I'm practicing with my new copics and it takes me forever to pick my colors and then play and then finally color the image! |
