CAS (Clean and Simple) Favorites for Week Ending 5/7/17

swldebbie · 05-06-2017, 08:06 PM

I'm not sure what's going on in your corner of the world, but here in Chicagoland, our weather seems to be very confused. So far in May we're several degrees colder than we should be and colder than the month of April. Crazy, crazy, crazy!

At least Spring seems to be in full bloom in the Gallery - so many pretty cards! Here are some of the CAS beauties I picked this week:

Butterfly by Otomys *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
CAS just doesn't get any prettier than this beauty from Amelia. How she got the perfect "splat" of color under her butterfly is beyond me. This one is definitely a keeper!

CTS220 - Magnolia Thank You by Ardyth
I can almost smell the scent of Ardyth's beautifully colored magnolia blooms.

CCC17MAY CAS Christmas sm by smadson
Sharon has come up with the perfect CAS Christmas card - simple, elegant in gold and easy to duplicate. Bonus points for easy to mail!

F4A376 Simply Butterfly by Arizona Maine
Angela sure knows how to make a focal image shine - her butterfly is stunning, nestled in the middle of her embossed circles. Stunning effect!

F4A376 Happy Mail by donidoodle
Can you say CUTE? Doni's teddy and his happy mail just tickled me pink.

F4A376 More Awaken Blooms by beesmom
MAURA. Need I say more? Gorgeous colors, great layout and the perfect font. What's not to love?

WT634, Thinking of You by k dunbrook
Karen's beautiful background reminds me of a waterfall. So pretty!

Blessings by bearpaw
Can you ever go wrong using white/green/pink? Lin's pretty trees scream "Spring has arrived!"

Courage by kittie747
Kittie hit a home run with her framed sentiment and floral "embellishment." Love how she made the sentiment the focus of the card and how she added bold pops of color with her flowers.

You are my favourite season! by Acetaitai *** NEW-TO-ME-STAMPER ***
Who says CAS can't be colorful? Love the soft rainbow of colors on this beauty.

Congratulation! by gunilla.holmqvist
I loved the fresh colors and the creativity in creating hearts from the grid stencil.

Sweet Friendship by Heather T
When you see the card's by Heather, you just know it is going to be stunning. I really liked how she paired her sentiment with her flowering branch.

My Sunshine kth by kthaman
I so want to CASE this happy card by Karen. It just makes me happy!

Now that I've gotten things started, it's time for you to jump in and join the party. Let us know what CAS beauties caught YOUR eye this week.
