Trying the CAS style out!

Another post? I know...... I blame it on the sunshine ;o)

There are so many lovely cards in blogland right now sporting the CAS style. If I'm being honest I don't know where it originates, is it someone called Cas? Or does CAS stand for something? If anyone knows please let me know!

 This is such a simple card created using "My Time Made Easy -Grab a Cup" stamps.

As you can see I stamped the same cup image onto the inside of my card and also onto the envelope. I do like co-ordination :o) 

I kept the shades of ink simple too. I used Memento -Rich Cocoa and TH -Tea Dye. 

Recipe: MTME -Grab a Cup stamps, Memento -Rich Cocoa ink, THDI-Tea Dye.

And then I made another using "My Time Made Easy -On Display" stamps.

 This is such a cute set of stamps, I stamped the lollipops repeatedly using different coloured inks and embellished them with adhesive gems.

At the base I stamped my sentiment from the same set using Memento -Rich Cocoa ink. 

They look good enough to eat don't they?

Recipe: MTME -On Display stamps, Tim Holtz Inks -Barn Door, Milled Lavender, Shabby Shutters, Tattered Rose, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick, Memento -Rich Cocoa ink, Adhesive Gems.

I have to say, trying the CAS style was pretty fun and inspiring. Am I converted? Not completely, but I will be trying it more often.

Have you tried it? Why not give it a go and see where your creativity takes you? Signing off now, enjoy your week!
