I am the hostess for the new Crafty Friends Challenge. Since I have been on a CAS card kick lately, I thought it would be fun if that was my challenge to do. Create a clean and simple card.
I created my card a while ago for a Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I started with a 3 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, folded in half. The top right and bottom left corners were rounded and the background stamp from Simon Says Stamp exclusive Music 2 My Ears stamp set was stamped on the left hand side in Key Lime VersaMagic Ink.
More white cardstock was cut with one of the Holiday Labels dies. Two of the Hexagons were stamped with the snowflake hexagon from the Holiday Labels stamp set in Turquoise Gem VersaMagic Ink, on with the Hexagon outline stamp. The hexagons were adhered over the stamped background. A snowflake was cut out of white cardstock with the Faceted Snowflake die, topped with a button that was tied on with silver cord and adhered to the empty hexagon.
Blue Calipso Fourz Bazzill cardstock was cut with the Snowflake Bracket die and adhered to the right hand side next to the Hexagons. A sentiment from the Holiday Label set was stamped in Ocean Depth VersaMagic ink to the lower left corner. Rhinestones from a Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestone pack finish off the card.

Thanks so much for looking! I hope you have time to join us in the challenge. It’s easy and fun! Come back Monday and Tuesday for more CAS inspiration!!!  Have a wonderful week!
Hugs and smiles

What a very lovely layout Beate!! I love CAS style and you’ve made this one so elegant!! HUGS 🙂
Beautiful card Beate!
God Bless 🙂
Beautiful!! Love that simple die cut snowflake. It adds so much. Another on my wish list.
Absolutely gorgeous card, Beate! You make clean and simple much more interesting than some cards I’ve seen. I love all the added elements you’ve used and, by keeping everything in one general grouping, there is still plenty of white space for the CAS design. Love the dies you’ve used, too!
I just love all snowflakes! That faceted snowflake is one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Your CAS presentation is just lovely!
A geometrical design of delight Beate!
very pretty, I just love how delicate that snowflake is and the snowflake bracket is cool! neat color combo!
This is beautiful. I am loving your CAS cards AND the 3 1/2 x 11 size card…it’s my new favorite!! May never do an A2 card again LOL!
I’ve always liked your clean and simple cards.
I love the snowflake bracket! Where can I purchase it? The link gave me an error message. Thanks!
Hey Beate,
I love the snow flakes in combination with the hexagon shapes. Great choice of
colors too. Just plain awesome! Thanks for the inspiration. It just makes me want to
go to my craft room and make cards. Thanks for sharing!
Fun CAS Holiday card.
Another great card, Beate! Love the snowflakes, the great die cuts and the rhinestones! Just fabulous! Hugs
