CAS Cards...

 
 
The other day as I was reading a card making fb page and a fellow card maker couldn't understand why so many CAS cards were getting all sorts of comments and likes instead of the more fancier ones. Well needless to say she opened a can of worms with that comment and probably 99% of the comments were in favor of CAS cards. It was nice to know that I am not alone when it comes to making CAS cards. I did speak up saying to each their own and that just because they are CAS cards doesn't mean it is not thought out as the more fancier cards are. This card is a great example! It may look simple but this is take 4 on this one! The original looks nothing like the end result. After several different colors, card stock, and should I add an embellishment to it? This is what I came up with. What can I say I am a 100% CAS kind of girl and proud of it!

Holiday Joy

 
This is my first Stamp of the Week from Unity and I was super excited to get it! After playing around with different ideas this is what I came up with...
Several months ago I found these kraft bags on Etsy and thought this would be a fun idea for a Christmas card or Holiday card envelope maybe for a gift card. I used Memento Tuxedo black ink and a variety of Copic sketch markers for the tree and the twinkle lights. I added the washi tape to give it a little bit more color...will keep playing around with this idea...
