Tips for using pattern paper with a CAS style
I LOVE patterned paper but my style is typically CAS - how can I incorporate it without going overboard? This is something I struggle with a lot so any tips would be appreciated. TIA!

What about...
a punched border
a panel creating a border around your stamped image
a few strips of coordinating paper lined up under your stamped image

Great ideas from Dina!
I think paper piecing and the faux cloisonne look can work on a CAS card.
You could also use a strip inside the card near the bottom edge and even line your envelopes with patterned paper.
ETA:
Actually here is a faux cloisonne from my gallery. If you take away the rhinestones and silver embossing at the edges, I think it'd be CAS. ;^)
And here's one with just a strip of patterned paper.
I guess to me clean and simple design doesn't exclude patterns. . . if the design is uncluttered/uncomplicated, I think of it as CAS. But I know others feel CAS embraces negative space more.

I am mostly CAS myself but have tons of patterned paper (all from the beginning when I didn't know what I was doing but sure knew how to buy). I love paper piece-ing, especially as I am an untalented colorist (color-er?). I also make envelopes with my patterned paper when I have the energy (I have a template for this).

You can check my blog to see how I do it. Basically u don't need to cover the entire card with dp and if you do just use simple patterns. Put as little embellishments as possible. Don't put is even better.

Punching simple shapes could work. The attached example actually uses stamps but the same concept would work with DP. Covering the flap of an envie with the same DP would make for a really smart look, too!

just using it to make one panel or layer on a portion of your card would be easy enough. if you edge it with ink it will stay grounded.

Lovely cards, ladies!!! I always use the scraps of my patterned papers on the inside of my cards, either completely covering them (with more subtle patterns and pastels) or strips/rectangles in the corners... That helps me use more of my paper. Matching envelopes are great, too

Love this Joanne!!!
This is really inspiring - so many great ideas for using patterned paper in a CAS way.
I'm starting to see patterned paper now as a great springboard for beginning to make more CAS cards!!! |

Here are a few cards from my gallery using patterned paper and which I consider CAS:
Peace, Love, Joy (AND the dp I used is Basic Grey!)
Spirelli Flower
A Happy Hello uses paper piecing, one of my favorite techniques, and it works really well for CAS cards.
Stacked Birdies also uses paper piecing.
I hope these give you some inspiration!

Fabulous ideas and fantastic cards ladies! TFS
I often find it takes a lot longer to make a CAS card than one with layers - it's a whole different way of thinking. I find it easier to "balance" a multi-layered card than a CAS one with my embellies, ribbons etc. I have so much to learn...... |

Yeah, I would say if you want to use patterned papers, you should keep the layers to a minimum and you'll be ok.
Good luck!

I don't think I've ever seen such an effective use of a tiny strip of patterned paper as your nativity card. It is just so sweet and such a nice touch. I love it!

I love to use it with paper piecing as well. You could also use it to punch a small circle, mount it on have cardstock,etc and use it as a button type accent. I have used it to either punch circles or squares for a more geometric look and then just add a sentiment (no other stamping).

Our tastes change and styles change, and I have tons of "extra" papers too, although I love to mix and match on my cards. I bought an envelope die from the Sizzix Outlet and am going to use lots of it to make envelopes. If the paper is white on the back side, I have used it to print off digital paper. It is the perfect weight. I also have young grandchildren that love to "do craps" at grandma's house, so this is the paper they use. You can also punch shapes and die cuts, make flowers, cover boxes.

This cracked me up!!! Thanks for making my day! I use my paper (scraps, especially) for the faux cloisonne technique as well as iris folding. More work involved, but can make stunning CAS cards. |
