CAS Game #147 - Along the Edge + Optional Twist Inspired by a Song

Hello and welcome to a new challenge here at AAA Cards.

This challenge wants you to keep the focus of your CAS cards along one of the edges. And if you're feeling in good voice maybe you can add in the optional twist too!

Here's another look at our CAS definition:

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

It could be you!

Our sponsor this fortnight is CAS-ual Fridays for a $25 gift code to their store.

Thank you CAS-ual Fridays!

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 Angie Cimbalo. Have you seen her blog - HERE? Yes - well you'll know that it's full of amazing inspiration then; No - you need to get on over and take a look!

Loving the metallic look and the way the polka dots swirl along the bottom of her card.

The AAA Cards DT have made some awesome Along the Edge CAS cards to inspire you - and some of them may even have broken out into song too!

CAS Game #146 - Made in Minutes + Optional Twist Summer

Hello and welcome to a new challenge here at AAA Cards.

Check out the main theme - Made In Minutes - and maybe add in the fun twist too.

We're hoping that the Made In minutes will help you to keep your cards CAS as it's difficult to pile on layers or do anything too complicated when creating quick cards.

It could be you!

CAS Game #145 - One Image + Optional Twist Positivity

Hey!

Time for a new challenge here at AAA Cards. And also a little reminder about our CAS definition and what we mean by 'white' space. The key for us is the EMPTY bit, so please no embossing, patterns or textured card on your CAS cards.

Because we love having you play along with us and want everyone to be in with a chance to win Maaike has made a little video for you to watch all about that empty white space - HERE.

So on to the new challenge:

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

It could be you!

And my tip for this theme is - keep the one image small to allow for plenty of empty white space!

Our sponsor this fortnight is Precious Remembrance Shop and their prize is their Sketchy Alphabet stamp set.

Thank you Precious Remembrance Shop!

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 very talented and well known Guest Designer for this challenge is Sharon from frommycraftdesk. Here's her beautiful take on the challenge:

One gorgeous image with a stencilled background that doesn't interfere with all that smooth empty white space.

And of course all the AAA Cards DT have also made One Image CAS cards to inspire you. I won't mention that EMPTY white space again .........
