A little C.A.S........


*This post is part of the October promotion fortnight. Remember to leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway.*

Good morning all, Happy Saturday...... 

I thought that I would show you today a few cards that I made for the class last month that are C.A.S, in case you are not familiar with the abbreviation 'Clean and Simple'......

It is amazing how card styles go around and are reborn and the trend at the moment is very C.A.S...... 

Now this stamp set is also one that has been reborn as I first used this about 10 years ago when I was teaching for a craft shop and Woodware have now brought it out again in there Clear Magic Range and I was so pleased as not only is it a lot cheaper than it was before but it is one of my all time favourite Christmas sets, it is called A Winter's Day......


I love the text that is included within the designs and also the text that stands alone with the images as they are so tiny and look very elegant when stamped.....

I used Versafine Onyx Black to stamp my images and embossed them with Wow Clear Sparkle Powder. I then coloured them with Pro-markers......


I added a little Fluffy Stuff and heated it with my heat gun to add a snow effect..... 


I think that you will agree that the script is so dainty and elegant.....  


A little closer look at the snow......


The designs of the stamps are so lovely that you do not need to over do it with papers, just a hint of colour in a matted layer and a hint of mirri card sets it off.... 


Well I hope that this inspires you to have a go at C.A.S or maybe it is already your style, let me know as I love to read your comments......

Until next time happy crafting, 

Hugs Lisa.B.xx
