Introducing Our New Team Members!

As we begin 2020, we'd like to introduce to you our two newest members of the design team!  These two are familiar faces on the CASology scene and we're pretty sure you'll be just as thrilled as we are to have them creating inspiration for you over the months ahead!  Please give a warm welcome to Deepti Stephens and Sandie Munro!

Deepti

My name is Deepti Stephens and I’m from India. I am a very crazy and passionate Card Maker, Blogger, YouTuber and Designer. I started my card making journey in 2011 and since then it has been a part of my life. My cards scream clean and simple with a touch of trendy, modern and a kind of whimsical look.

Sandie

I am honoured to be joining the CASology Design Team. I live in London and my blog is London Days where you will see I am very much a 'Clean and Simple' designer. In fact, I am happiest just using stamps and inks and making one layer cards! I call it 'stamp and go'! 

I run the Time Out Challenges where I get to use my love of administration. I don't only like to create. I delight in visiting other crafter's blogs and seeing what an amazing creative community I now feel part of. I have made friends from all over the world through crafting.

I can't wait to see what you will all be creating over the next month as I play along with this talented bunch at CASology.

Welcome to the team, ladies!  We're excited to have you as part of the CASology team and look forward to seeing your designs over the months ahead!

A Fond Farewell!

We're saying farewell to one of our team members today.  Janet is stepping down as she continues on her life journey.  We've thoroughly enjoyed having her on the team with her sweet personality and inspiring CAS designs!  We wish her the very best!  Please give her a fond farewell, either here on on her personal blog.

Week 358: BRANCH

Winter, holidays, snowfall, spring...this cue word will likely bring lots of variety to the gallery!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this challenge's winner $25 off their next online order!

Be sure and check out their current 25% off sale!  You can find more details on their main page!  Also, this month, mention CASology in the notes when you place an order and receive a mystery gift!  How fun is that?!
