CAS inspiration

Good morning, welcome to our mid month inspirational post where the Design Team have been busy making more CAS inspired cards. So many lovely entries already and if CAS is not your thing, there's always the option of Anything Goes.

The challenge runs until Wednesday 26th so plenty of time to add another entry for the chance of winning one of the two prizes of Lavinia stamps and stencil.

February challenge

Welcome to our February challenge and this month we are focusing on a theme elected by Faith, it's....

CAS 
(Clean and Simple)
along with Anything Goes

We know from reading your blogs it's a theme many of us struggle with, it'a always so tempting to add a bit more, then a bit more, but if it's just too far outside your comfort zone there's always Anything Goes to fall back on. 

Usual rules apply which you can find here and most importantly there must be some stamping on the front of your entry and a few details about products used.

Two prizes of Lavinia stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). (Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway).


The Design Team have been very restrained and produced a wonderful display of CAS cards....
