You probably already know that CAS stands for Clean and Simple, and it also means:
- Lots of open space;
- Limited layers and embellishments;
- Quick and easy to create; and
- Keep it simple.
For my card, I die-cut a snowflake semi-circle from a white panel and adhered it to a blue alcohol ink background that I made some time ago. I stamped the sentiment and that's it!
I decided to make a second card but this time used a double-stitched rectangle die, but it's still a CAS card.
Here are both cards together. I hope you'll be inspired to join our challenge at CAS on Friday! You can find the rules for the challenge here.

Congratulations, Kitty, on your guest designer position! These cards are awesome - the background is perfect for a snowflake front. My favourite is the one with the stitched border as that extra bit of detail just finishes the card. Terrific work :)

This die cut is so beautiful against the blue backgrounds you've made. I'll have to send you an email about what die cut machine you use. I can't find replacement plates for my Cuttlebug and my die cutting is suffering for it.
So beautiful. Congrats on being a guest designer!
