CAS at Jackson's Digital Expressions

Happy Tuesday! We have the CAS Team on display today at JDE using Robert's images and images from our sponsor, Bugaboo.  Be sure to visit the site to see what the DT has made. You will love what you see!  My first card uses Robert's Back to School image. I'll send this to my grandson!

Supplies:  Cardstock: Marcos Paper; die cut: gift from a friend; Stamp: Hero Arts Anytime Messages; Ink: CTMH Black Dye Ink; Sharpies

I also made this card using Bugaboo's Stick Horse image - he's so cute!

Supplies:  Cardstock: Marcos Paper; DP: CTMH, Recollections; Stamps: CTMH Celebrate the Everyday; Buttons: My stash; Sharpies.

I always smile when I read about how some folks struggle with making a Clean and Simple card - that's all I ever make.  Not that mine are great examples of the CAS style - I simply don't know how to make any other kind!!

I will enter my cards in a few challenges as soon as I have time.  Enjoy your day!

How I Stretch My Stamps at Virginia Lu's Blog

The talented Virginia Lu is sharing again - she's presenting free lessons on stretching your stamps.  And there's a challenge - enter your project and you could win.  This first lesson concerns using a partial image or part of a background stamp.  Here's my card:



I liked cutting off the width of my hexagon stamp.  This allowed me to add pearls in the white spaces which might not have worked had I not used a partial image.

Supplies:  Cardstock: Marco's Paper, Recollections; Ink: Versa Magic Purple Hydrangea; Stamps: CTMH Wicked and For Every Occasion; Pearls: Recollections.
