You'll feel like getting your clean & simple design ducks in a row more than ever with this week's cue word! Surprisingly, there are more ways to interpret this word than you might think!
As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- 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!)
Mint Owl Studio is joining us as a brand new sponsor and you're going to love their line of stamps, embellishments, stencils & paper products!
Mint Owl Studio is a small stamp company bringing fun and whimsical designs to your craft table! Our stamps are made in the USA from the highest quality of clear photopolymer. We also recently added stencils to our shop and have plans for more products in the near future. The owner and designer, Tracy, is a paper crafter at heart. She creates our products with you in mind!
This week's winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the online store! Be sure and check out their blog for inspiration and the latest news!
