Top Three

 In order of entry

#7 Cimba creative fun

An absolutely exquisite use of a beautiful die. We loved how the only colour was the background peeping through. The simple font of the greeting and the empty white space keep this card super CAS.

#49 Kellianne

Such a fun card incorporating the joy of the season. We loved the addition of a few pastel colours, minimal layers and all that important empty white space.

#54 Anila

Another superb use of a beautiful die, extra gorgeous in all its white finery. The addition of the red sequins and tiny bow kept the embellishments to a minimum but allowed the wreath to pop.

Congratulations to you all, please grab our winners badge to display on your blogs.

Our current Challenge #130 is Three of Something and will be staying open until 5th January, so there is plenty of time to get your entries in.

CAS Game #130 - Three of Something

Hi everyone!

How are your Christmas preparations going? Well we've a wonderful theme for our last 2018 challenge that could be used for those last minute cards or if you're completely Christmassed out then is easily adapted to any other occasion.

We'll pick a top winner and some runners up!

It could be you!

Our sponsor this fortnight for an in-stock stamp set is Uniko.

This is an exciting time for Uniko as they're about to launch their December release - 11th December. So why not play along with AAA Cards and maybe win yourself a brand new stamp set!

Thank you Uniko

As well as the 1st place prize from our sponsor we also offer the winner the chance to be a Guest Designer for a future AAA Cards Challenge.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Ishani, a regular player who always delights us with her beautiful CAS cards. Do go visit her blog  - HERE - and let her know how much you admire her creativity too.

In fact we love Ishani's cards so much that we've invited her to join our DT in 2019.

 Here's a little introduction she's written to tell you about herself:

I am Ishani, from India, known as Quillish to the crafting community. 

I started making cards with quilled elements (hence my name, Quillish) in 2014 and was introduced to stamping in 2017. I have always loved - minimalism and that also reflects on my cards, but it was through AAA cards and Jane, that I learnt what CAS was. I am eager to learn more and enjoy experimenting new techniques, keeping it Clean and Simple. I am so glad to be joining the team I have been learning so much from, thank you very much for the opportunity.

All the AAA Cards DT have made CAS cards to inspire you.  If you have time we'd love it if you visited our blogs and left us a lovely comment!

Top Three

 In order of entry

#1 Christine

A classic CAS one layer card using the top third for the image. We loved the motivational nature of the sentiment quote too.


#18 Ishani/Quillish

The repeated stamping is such a fantastic way to show movement and we loved the gradual fading of the colours too. The central placement of the image and sentiment leaves it surrounded by beautiful empty white space.

#31 Kavita

Another central focal image and sentiment leaving yummy white space all around. We also loved the simplicity of the monochromatic colour scheme, with a super image like the galloping horse it really says it all without colours.

Congratulations to you all, please grab our winners badge to display on your blogs.

Our current Challenge #129 is Mostly White and there is still plenty of time to get your entries in.

#3 Simple art Craft

We loved the corner placement and simple colour scheme. A truly wonderful CAS card with plenty of empty non patterned non textured white space..

#28 Nisha

Using a strip across a card to place all the elements is another favourite way to keep your cards CAS. And such gorgeous colouring too!

#41 Holly

The simple colour scheme combined with the stunningly simplistic image was a definite winner in our CAS eyes.
