CAS (Clean and Simple)

So I went to one of those art studios where you pay a small amount to craft by the hour.  They had a bunch of crafts you could do: painting, card making, labels/tags, ceramics (you had to buy the ceramics) and so forth.  I just sat down and made some CAS cards with some of their papers and punches.  Here's one of them

Please check out my lace store, there's lots and lots of wonderful items including tons of lace by the yard, great handmade items, and lace assortments!  Check it out   https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com


Question of the day:  Do you like washi tape (like what I am using on the edges of this card)?

Holley- I am wondering what place you went to. Is it near Springdale? I toured that place during one of the studio tours. I have a bunch of washi tape, but I don’t think to use it. I think it would be fun to, though. Audrey R in Austin

Such a cute card, I CAS cards. I've never been to one of those types of studios. I have a lot of washi but never seem to use it on cards but I do use it to hold down my cutting dies so they don't slip. After I move and get my new craft room set up I plan on pulling it out and using it up so it doesn't go bad.

Sounds like a fun place to go. You made a cute card. I have quite a bit of washi tape, but forget to use. They make so many cute designs and collections of it.

Nice card. It looks like this is a nice place to create. I don't use washi tape.

Very sweet card! That sounds like a fun outing to go to the studio!
I do use washi tape! It's handy to use when die cutting, besides using it on cards and envelopes.

I like washi tape and don't use it enough.

Beautiful CAS card Holley. The washi tape is a lovely design element. I have lots but usually forget to use it!!!! Hugz

That must have been a fun day. I don't use washi tape much. Have you seen the washi tape that comes with dies? What will they think of next!
