CAS cards!! (don't faint)

Hi My Crafty Friends

I made these a few weeks ago but have been waiting for the recipients to get them before I blogged them. I guess they should have arrived by now.

As you know, I rarely attempt CAS(clean and simple) cards - I always think there's safety in numbers (of layers, die cuts etc) but I did have to make SOME cards that would hopefully survive the post.

I had fun experimenting with my MFT Scribble dies and this is what I came up with. I die cut the scribbles out of white and coloured card, matted it onto coloured card bases and replaced the scribbles in the holes. Then just a few simple embellishments et voila!





happy Christmas crafting

  2. I LOVE THESE! I especially love the first one with the kind of retro colour scheme - looks like you have embraced your inner minimalist!!!

  4. These are so cute Jan, had I seen those dies I would not have had the foggiest idea how to use them, but in your hands, they have morphed into so much more than just scribbles. xxx
