CAS26 - Stitching
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 we are having a technique challenge: stitching. You can use real or faux stitching.
Keyword: CAS26
DT samples to help you get started with ideas:
Ann's Card
Harriet's Card
Lisa's Card
Jen's Card
CAS26 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.

I think I spent too much time in my craft room, today. 
Card #2
Card #3
Card #4
Have you ever looked at the mess on your table after completing several cards and notice all the leftovers from mistakes and wonder if you could rescue it all and make something new? Well, that is THAT card. LOL! Not sure how much I like it, but I didn't waste it all. LOL! So, now I have ONE MORE CAS challenge card for the week. Good grief.

Sorry it was posted a bit later than usual. As you can see, I spent a little time posting cards. My craft room needs some major clean-up!!! __________________ Miss Boo - a.k.a. jen70 SCS Fan Club Member since 2005 Retired Challenge Hostess (2005-2014) Limited Supplies, Featured Stamper, Clean & Simple FS143 / QFTD93 Past Design Teams: DRS Designs, Rubbernecker Past Guest Designer: Gina K Designs CAS.

Hmmmm, I will sleep on this.... Hopefully my brain can hatch a plan by morning....
BTW, sometimes I have a hard time finding my craft table! LOL My "clean up" trick is to set the timer for 15 minutes and clean as fast as I can! Then it's stamp time!  |
