I had the chance to spend some time in my craft room this morning. Here is what I created.
I can’t say they are CAS; but, they were simple to make. Start by selecting an oxide ink for your base and gently smoosh it onto watercolor paper. Next, position your stencil and stamp the sentiment through it. Once that’s done, outline the stencil design with black ink for added definition. Use a coordinating watercolor pencil to add shading to the stencil, then apply Distress Sparkly Paste over the entire area for a shimmering effect. After everything has dried, emboss the sentiment using black embossing powder. For added interest, apply opaque black paste through a second stencil. Finish off your project by tying a bow around the bottom and framing it with coordinating cardstock from your stash.
Here is a list of the products I used if you want to CASE these:
Azteca watercolor paper, paper from the stash: purple, black,pink
Craft Roulette (small bag-used to help smoosh the ink & inside a small bag provides space for a gift card; CAS-I cased my own card and it’s square size; Cornicopia-pink & purple; Splatters-yes, ink of course)
This card was fairly simple to make. Start with some watercolor paper and ink stamp with a stencil of your choice. Use coordinating papers for the panel to the right and background. Emboss a simple sentiment using some of the coordinating paper as a border. Stitch the panels to the background and place them on a card base of your choice.

I decided to use the color orange and go a little creepy cute.

Yupo paper, orange & brown cardstock from the stash, clear orange file folder from Office Depot
Alcohol inks
Tim Holtz Stampersanonymous: Poisonous CMS171, Boo Crazy CMS495
Distress Oxide Archival Ink in Ground Expresso
Begin by preparing your Yupo paper and alcohol inks; I opted for a vibrant mix of yellows, oranges, and a touch of brown to create a warm background. Once the background was dry, I added texture using the Poisonous stamp and Ground Espresso ink. For a playful touch, I stamped the Boo Crazy image onto a clear orange file folder using the same Ground Espresso ink. After fussy cutting my ghost, I secured him in place with Distress Collage Medium. Finally, stamp a sentiment of your choice and assemble your creation for a fun and festive project!
