May "2/5/15" class - Clean and Simple (CAS)

For the May 2/5/15 class, I went back to basics!

This popular class was originally named a "10/10/10". The premise was that you make 10 cards for $10 - each card was able to be made in just 10 minutes. (Boy, did it stress people out when I set a timer for the first class!)

But I digress...

Simple cards!

My class has evolved over the years to what it is today: making two each of five different designs for $15 (hence, "2/5/15"). Still a bargain at that price and you can save one card for your files and give one away!

Those who have been "regulars" of my class know that it is quite  a challenge for me to keep it very simple! I always want to show you some new product, technique, use ribbon, a cool embellishment, or multiple layers.

Well, this month I finally did it!

I kept it simple!

I looked for inspiration on the Internet... I have a board on Pinterest labeled "Stamping/CAS". When you see something labeled like that it stands for "clean and simple". 

Minimal, yet still beautiful.

Quickly done, yet striking.

These cards garnered good feedback comments at the class. I hope you feel the same way!

These next two cards were both made using the Wetlands stamp set.

The first card was done on Very Vanilla card stock. We used two markers: Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke.

The second card was done on Pool Party cards stock. These we used a Basic Gray ink pad and a corner rounder. The sentiment is from a retired set.

Finally, we used the Mosaic product bundle - the Mosaic Madness stamp set and matching punch:

This card is very "Pinteresting"....

The original idea came from my "CAS" board. I changed the original colors to Bermuda Bay, Basic Black and Gold - one of the pins I have on my "color combo" board.

Some paper piercing, a sentiment from Morning Meadow hostess set, and the Itty Bitty flower punch (with a pearl) complete the card!

Clean and simple (CAS)!

The next 2/5/15 class will be held on Friday, June 27. I offer two sessions for your convenience: 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM.

The deadline to sign-up is Wednesday the 25th at noon.

Hope to see you there! I will have the NEW CATALOG those who want a copy!
