Clean and Simple (CAS) Favorites for the Week Ending May 23, 2010
Welcome, one and all! This thread is an open celebration of the Clean and Simple Style of stamping. EVERYONE is invited to post links to his/her favorite CAS designs uploaded to the gallery this past week.
Clean and Simple is defined as minimal layering and embellishing...just enough stuff to get the point across. My feeling is you know CAS when you see it, so don't be shy about posting for fear of breaking any rules. Check out my favorites if you're confused...you'll see quite a range of CAS here! I'll get us started with some of my favorites! Kim66 posted a sweet and colorful bouquet of flowers snail made lavender snowflakes shine PaperInBloom posted a bunch of fabulous CAS cards this week, and this one using the Hero Arts cloud background is just a sample of all the goodness kstamper combined challenges on her fun faux ribbon card Vera's Best of luck card show how you can create a scene and keep it CAS, too ltecler made a one-layer Thanks a Melon card that is fun and colorful and uses the perfect ribbon stampinandrea caught my eye with her crisp and simple flower card stampingout made a sweet and simply cute lady bug card criminalgrace used liquid applique perfectly on her banner thank you card dostamping blew me away with her gorgeous use of Elements of Style...so CAS and pretty! StampGroover quoted Plato and distressed some paper to make a stunning CAS/shabby chic card krista824 posted a delightfully CAS card spotlighting tiny stamps with lots of white space...so sweet! cmustopa went shabby chic with my favorite sketch from Go-To Sketches and the results are wonderful keuby has a great CAS eye, and her graphic and fun thank you card is so creative hskelly used the negatives of punched butterflies beautifully on her card inspired by Biggan PaperInBloom really was on a roll this week, and I just have to give a nod to her Many Thanks card as well Chinook's blue botanical sympathy cards are simply beautiful ravengirl took shabby chic and married it with CAS beautifully CAKath made a simply natural and beautiful card with a lovely ribbon and punch border StephStamps1982 took a Bible verse and butterfly and made a stunning card JulieHRR used swiss dot, ruffled ribbon, and an inspired color combo on her get well soon card biggan made brown look awesome in her shabby chic blade of grass card...note the bling peeking out from behind the distressed matte, a stroke of genius! al_silver2 nailed CAS shabby chic with her simple ruffled congrats card kmahany shabbied her chic beautifully with a fab chandelier stamp and tulle accent flower If you have some time today, please comment on some CAS cards. In SCS's huge gallery, CAS sometimes gets overlooked, and there is some amazing work going without comment. Let's fix that and give some encouragement! |
I love this thread....thanks to Susan for starting it every week....very appreciated!!!
I had no time to make a card for the cas challenge this week....sniff!!...pout.....and I wasn't able to hit the gallery either. Will have to make up for it today....It is our long weekend here in Canada!! |
I added some great cards to my faves this week...Susan mentioned some of them, so I'll add these:

In my mind, it is hard to make something clean that is also shabby. So my definition of 'clean' this week got a little stretching! LOL! There were some absolutely amazing CAS shabby chic cards in the gallery! |
Thanks so much for mentioning my card!! When I am done cleaning my room, I want to go check out all these faves!! :-)
|

Thanks for mentioning my happy little clouds, Susan. It may be a bit messy and frequently associated with complex crafting, but liquid applique can be perfect on a CAS card.
