Stampendous October Challenge Goes CAS!

 Today marks the second of the Monthly Stampendous Saturday challenges, and our challenge this month is to create CAS (clean and simple) holiday cards. The type that you will want to make multiples of without tearing your hair out. I'd say this little pail of mini gift cards definitely suit the challenge. I featured the Stampendous Perfectly Clear Snowy Short Stacks for these. This is the fun set that I used for THIS post previously, in which I said that they remind me of those childrens books and toys where the head, body, and feet are all separate, so you could switch them up. However, for these cards I stuck with fairly normal...the elf has elf shoes, the reindeer has hooves, etc. I simply stamped them in black ink. No coloring involved. A strip of cute Pinecone Press Plaid paper across the center, a tiny message attached with snowflake brad fasteners, and my signature pompoms of course! All of these tuck into a Stampendous pail, trimmed with matching paper. The little Matroyshka doll was stamped and paper pieced in plaid and swings from the handle along with the sentiment. These would make a great gift for someone before the holidays, or a batch made for gift tags, or they could easily be created in a larger format for a CAS holiday card mailing spree! Here is the list of the design team players for this month, so go visit and leave some love:
