Default CAS17 - Inspired by Beach Towels & Totes (6/1/09)

Woo Hoo! Let's here it for our new CAS design team for summer 2009! They are going to WOW you and inspire you!

hskelly lisahenke Stampin' Annie


What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple.


There are different ways people view CAS. It is very subjective. There is no list of rules that will fit everyone’s personal definition. The following are possible guidelines, only. Please do not feel afraid of playing in the CAS challenge or debate with yourself if you’ve created a CAS card. If it is a CAS card to you, put CAS in the keyword box.


1. Clean: the design is uncluttered with lots of white or open space. Simple: having a clear focal point without a lot going on to detract from it.

OR
2. simple in design regardless of the number of embellishments or how long it takes to color, stitch or to use a special technique

OR
3. can be copied and mass produced fairly quickly… usually without a lot of coloring, layers, embellishments, tools and/or techniques

OR
4. any combination of the above



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

Now on with the show!

This week's challenge is an inspiration challenge: beach towels & tote bags from Lands' End.


Keyword: CAS17

DT samples to help you get started with ideas:

Ann's Card

Harriet's Card

Lisa's Card

Jen's Card

CAS17 Gallery


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!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Harriet, Anne, and Lisa. I'm so happy for you three personally, but I'm even happier for the rest of us to have such fine CAS stampers inspiring us the next three months!

And to all who applied but didn't make the DT this time around...APPLY NEXT TIME! Good grief, the CAS talent here is amazingly numerous! I was just blown away seeing all the entries.

I won't have time to play until tomorrow late afternoon, but can't wait to do this challenge. I LOVE LandsEnd summer stuff! WoooHoooo! Thanks for a great challenge, Jen!

What a wonderful challenge! It would have been a perfect day to be at the ocean, but instead I made a seashore themed card:

I've been MIA for several weeks (overseas move), but I finally have a bare-bones stamping space set up (just got my desk on Friday) - so this week I get to play! Here's my card:

Striped Welcome Baby

It feels sooo good to be stamping again!

Yet another great challenge, and a great new team to go with it! Hooray!
Here's my contribution for the week -- this is one of my go-to layouts, and I think it totally works with the beach towel I was inspired by. Thanks again!
