CAS Christmas 2019

We're all ready to start a new year at CAS Christmas and we hope you're ready to pull out your Christmas stamps and start making cards with us. 
I know you think there's lots of time or it's too early, but the time flies. So what better way in building up you stash than joining in the challenge and making a couple every month. 
January's theme is Blue and Silver, the Design Team and our Guest Designer Kaja have been busy making some amazing cards pop over and check them all out.


My card is a cling wrap technique and blue powdered inks for one layer and some wonderfully sparkly glitter paper for the second. This card was a pretty fast one to make so will be duplicated a few times with different die cuts.

the sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque and is stamped in Delicata Silver.

What a perfect CAS way to use blue & silver! Love this!

Gorgeous design Christine. Love the layered berry branch. The cling wrap adds some lovely visual texture / pattern on the background sprig, with the glittery silver one adding sparkle. Awesome design. This would work for CAS Watercolour as well. xx

Love that die cut and how you've layered it up. The technique and the blues look fabulous along with the pretty silver bling. Stunning card and so beautifully CAS x.

Beautiful effects of your blue powdered inks, Christine! I love how you played with this color palette and how you created your focal point with this lovely layered branch! Another gorgeous Christmas card!

Talk about gorgeousness! What a fabulous design using the beautiful Brusho die cut to shadow the silver! Thanks for the inspiration, Christine. I may just have to case this one!

so elegant and simple... but what do you mean by cling wrap? Is that a special paper?

Beautiful blue and silver die cut leaves for your Christmas Challenge Card, Christine. I love the color combo and glitter. I have my card made, but will be a few days before I post. I love this challenge for inspiring me to start early on the cards for 2019. It sure helped for my 2018 cards. Thank you for hosting, my friend. Hugs..Nancy

Oh my, I love this. The beautiful shade of blue and that silver sparkle together is so gorgeous. A great way to combine and use the leaf die and a perfect sentiment with it.

How beautiful Christine, and I love the blue cling film patterned and inked piece cut out and layered behind the gorgeous silver glitter leaves, and the sentiment is perfect too. x

The reed element looks bold in this complementary winter color scheme. I love how a branch softly flows down to sentiment. Beautifully designed card
