A Clean and Simple Trio and an MDS Gift Project

I like to try various challenges I find online and Clean and Simple (CAS) Challenges are usually my favorite. Many people don't realize how hard it is to make a Clean and Simple design! Here are three cards I made recently for CAS Challenges on Splitcoast Stampers.



This Winter Themed Card was made with a Whisper White card base matted with textured Bermuda Bay Cardstock. My image is from The More the Merrier Hostess Set, colored with my Blender Pens and Ink Pads, and then matted on Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I really liked this color combination!




This card was for a Sketch Challenge and consists of the star image from Patterned Pines (Hostess set in the Holiday Mini) stamped in Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay, and Melon Mambo and punched out with my 1/2" Circle Punch. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, stampe in Rich Razzleberry.





This card is my favorite, it was another sketch challenge and I used the Playground Designer Buttons to create a bold yet simple look. The sentiment is from Many Merry Messages.


I'd also like to share with you this gift I made for my Father and Stepmother using My Digital Studio. It is a framed picture representing all of their grandchildren.


I printed the sentiment and image using MDS on Whisper White cardstock. it was very cool to use the digital All in the Family Stamp Set rather than the real one because I could adjust the size of the children to better fit the actual sizes/ages of the kids (mine are the two on the left! I love that there was a curly headed one for my younger son, he's just full of ringlets!)

I hope you like today's project and cards! Its snowy here in Kansas and my kids are under the weather so we're stuck inside....lots of stamping to be done! I have a special project I'm working on for you all for tomorrow!!!!
