CAS Fall Card

Hello, Friends!  Today I created a CAS (clean and simple) card.  My tip for you today is this:  Make your cards a little generic, that way they can be used for multiple occasions.  For example, my card's sentiment simply say's "Celebrate Everyday."  This card is now eligible to be used as a Fall, Thanksgiving or even a Birthday Card.

• Cricut Cartridge:  A Child's Year
• Designer Paper:  My Mind's Eye "Indie Chic"
• Embossing:  Cuttlebug "Houndstooth" folder
• Sentiment:  Hero Arts CL498

• Other:  Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
