Trying out CAS


Hi friends! I'm back today with a card submission for a challenge over at Moxie Fab World. Since a lot of Moxie Fab followers are CAS card makers, I thought I would try it out for this challenge. It's Stamp It! Cards Week: The Love Card Challenge


As we were driving home this weekend, I saw a billboard poster with these awesome colors on it. So as soon as I got home, I grabbed the very same colors and started inking my stamps. 

As you know, my nephew is staying over for the summer. So I haven't really had much time to make any cards, let alone join any challenges. So when I had an hour to myself last night I locked myself in my craft room and came up with this card.


I pulled out my WPlus9 stamp sets and made this CAS card. I used Heartfelt Mix, Hearts and Clouds dies, and Fair Isle Backgrounds. I used an image from Fair Isle Backgrounds and stamped three horizontal strips across the white cardstock.

Then I got the "wire"/"string" image from Heartfelt Mix and randomly stamped it over the background. I die cut three hearts using the Hearts and Clouds dies and stamped polka dot hearts on them. I sewed them onto the cardstock to add a little more interest and I bent each side to give it a lift.


To my CAS friends, how did I do? I hope it's ok. Seriously, I think CAS can be harder than the other card styles sometimes. lol. :) If you have some inky time, hop on over to Moxie Fab World and join in! :) Thanks for stopping by today!
