CAS and almost CAS with Heartfelt Creations

Morning ladies!


Recently I promised to show you a CAS (Clean and Simple) card at least once a week....and I haven't posted in a week...aak!  This isn't because I haven't been creating, since I have been busy making cards, just have been so busy with work that every spare moment has been in my craft room making pretty things instead of blogging....


Ok, so here is a CAS card that was posted last week on the Heartfelt Creations Blog.  It was floating in my head one night and first thing in the morning even before breakfast I jumped in my craft room and whipped it up in less than 15 minutes.

Products Used on This Project

HCPC 3377 Sympathy Sentiment PreCut Set
HCPC 3373 Dutch Iris Medley PreCut Set
HCD 711 Decorative Dutch Iris Die

Card size is standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 Stamp Iris image twice using brown ink, once on lower left hand edge of main panel, and once on other (scrap) cardstock.  Colour both the same (Copics used here YG03, G21, G99, BV00, BV02, E04, V93).  Use the die cut to cut out the one on the scrap cardstock, and then layer it over the other one on the main panel using pop up dots. Stamp sentiment using black ink in centre of card.  Assemble layers of cardstock and adhere and then add a few Rhinestones on the top right hand edge for embellishment.

And here is an almost CAS card that was posted this week on the Heartfelt Creations Blog.  This one took about 30 minutes (at the most), and was super easy, just took a bit of time for the colouring of the background.
