Clean and Simple (CAS) favorites ~ your Best of 2023
I always love this thread each year. It makes me really look at what I have saved in the last 12 months. For me, every card I save is one that I would use for inspiration on something I would make. Or it's something that just knocks my socks off!
Every year in the "Best of" thread, I try to share from as many artists as possible, limiting myself to choosing only one card from each person. That's really hard to do sometimes. I'll do my best and hope you enjoy this eye candy as much as I did.
This thread is open to everyone and is a great way to recognize the work of SCS's many talented CAS artists. And it is for the creations YOU think are the best ones in your favorites.
There are really only two "rules" here on the thread:
The Gallery posts you link to should be in the CAS style...
--------------------------------
And what does it mean to be Clean and Simple?
It's all about the DESIGN.
Clean and Simple design is:
* Uncluttered,
* has lots of white or open space, and
* has one main focal point.
--------------------------------
...and they should be from the year of 2023.
Did you find your way to this thread because someone listed one of YOUR creations as a favorite? In addition to saying thank you, we encourage you to pay that smile you're probably wearing right now forward by sharing a few of the cards/projects YOU favorite-ed this week.
If you have favorites that don't fit the Clean and Simple thread, we encourage you to share them on the regular Favorites thread.
If this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in Forums at Splitcoaststampers.
Need help linking your Favorites? Follow these steps:
1. Load this week's Favorites thread in your first browser tab. Scroll down and click the Go Advanced button.
2. Open a second tab (or a separate window). Go to the Gallery and click on "My Favorites."
3. Click on a card you have saved. At the top, highlight the web address. Hit Ctrl+C to copy.
4. Switch back to the first tab. Type the cardmaker's SCS name, add a couple of spaces and hit Ctrl+V to paste your link there. Hit Enter twice to add a blank line.
5. Repeat as many times as needed for all your links.
6. Click the Preview Post button and check that your links work. Then click the Submit Reply button.
