Week #25: NEW

Happy New Year!  Can you believe 2012 is behind us and a brand new 2013 has begun?!  Just think of all the new adventure that awaits us!  To welcome all the new beginnings that come with the turn of a calendar page, we thought we'd use an appropriate cue word:

To ring in the new year, we have one of our fabulous sponsors returning with not one, but TWO wonderful prizes!

Cindy Coutts is offering the winner from this week's challenge Stampin' Up!'s new firm foam ink pads in the following colors:  Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red!  There's nothing like starting your new year off with new ink, is there?!

She's also started some online card classes and is offering one free class membership to a random participant!

Be sure and check out her upcoming class:

Now let's see what the design team and our guest designer, Deb, have for inspiration this week!

Guest Designer:  Deb

 design defined:

An almost one layer card with one repeated stamped image, a single sentiment, and a little bit of bling keeps it CAS.


Tracey 

design defined:
Small focal images can be supported with patterned paper or other elements and still keep the overall design CAS. 


Ardyth

design defined:
 I added dimension and interest by curling the butterfly's wings and having them go 'over the edge'.


Jen

design defined:
Washi tape is a super fun but simple accent.

 
Judy

design defined:
Paper-piecing is a fun way to add some interest and color to a CAS card.


Maureen

design defined:
For proper flow and balance on a One Layer Card, place your image and sentiment on opposite sides of your card.

 
Meghan

design defined:
Tilt a focal point and/or sentiment on its side to provide interest.


Melissa

design defined:

Sometimes simply rotating your card base either horizontally or vertically can change the look of your design.


Rosemary

design defined:
  A simple row of images stamped in different colors and placed at various heights creates a clean and simple design.

Now go have fun and don't forget to link up your own NEW creation by Sunday at 4 p.m. (CST)!  Yes, the deadline has been extended to allow you a little more time to create!
