What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple.
There has been some discussion on threads in the general stamping forum about the definition of clean and simple. Here is what I have learned from it�
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
and another Susan card! How was I only supposed to link one when she made so many??? :cool: I broke the rule... as my son would say... "my bad" :rolleyes:
Jen's Card
Psst... I made a lot too, but only because I didn't like anything I was making today. :rolleyes:
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!

Well, I did it. In fact I've done two... my first isn't very CAS but it shows the R 'n R! The second one (which I'll post tomorrow) is CAS but the R 'n R isn't as noticeable. I can't win. LOL!

My DH needed some thank you cards for his birthday gifts. I made several of these and I know he will really like them. He is Mr. Clean and Simple although he says everything I make is very nice. However, if he is going to write in it and sign it, he would prefer it clean and simple.

I had never done this technique, although it's one I've thought about trying several times. Well, I've done it now! Thanks for the challenge. Here is my card: Rock and Roll Thank You. Thanks for looking!
