Day 28 - CAS Design

(Beccy's post with "CAS Design" definition and elegant

candy cane card to inspire are HERE)

I confess, I love CAS cards and was thrilled to make some for today's prompt,

so thrilled that this is my second pair of CAS cards

using a different image from the same set.

My "CAS Design" cards use "Holly Branch 2",

a pre-coloured image from the Holly Days digital stamp set

from the Beccy's Place Store.

I opened the Holly Branch 2 image in Silhouette Studio as it is a great tool for designing cards and printing panels, it's not just for cutting.  I sized the image to fit nicely on a 5" x 7" panel and added a sentiment.  I flipped the image to make another card and added the same sentiment, so even though there are two cards using the same image, they're still one-of-a-kind.  I added a thin black line to the panel, printed then manually cut down to size before adhering the image panels to the card bases.  I used some heavy (300gsm) smooth white cardstock to the make card bases ... I've made so many cards this month that I ran out of my pre-scored supply, a good problem to have as it means I've been more productive than I thought I could ever be.
