Clean and Simple Card Workshop
Clean and simple (CAS) cards have been taking the card making world by storm.In
the world of card making there are many different kinds or styles of
cards, but they tend to fall into three categories. Cards that focus on
products, cards that focus on techniques and cards that focus on design.
It is that last type of card that is the essence of clean and simple cards.
One
should never confuse quick and easy with clean and simple. In fact, it
can be quite the opposite. When I create a CAS card I know the design
has to be perfect. So while the card may come together quickly in the
end, it takes a lot of planning before assembly begins. Sometimes small
changes can make a HUGE difference.
