July CAS Card Challenge

Hey there, STAMPlorations friends! We'd like to thank everyone who played in last month's challenge. Lots of gorgeous CAS cards in the gallery and we have the winner and top picks right here.

Now let's get the July Challenge started! Our CAS Card Challenge is pretty simple: it's straightforward anything CAS goes with the optional color twist. Create a clean and simple card with or without the color we've picked to include. And for July, orange is the optional color twist. (You can use other colors with orange.)

When linking up, please follow these simple rules: (complete list of rules is here)

• Link up to 3 entries and link up to as many other challenges as you want.
• Non-STAMPlorations products are OK (although please don't link up a project you've created for the sole purpose of promoting another company; those projects will be deleted.)
• To qualify for our prizes, you must display the challenge graphic in your blog post. (This is not required if you're linking from online galleries like Splitcoast, Flickr, or Pinterest.)
• Link back to this challenge post (not just our main blog) to encourage others to play too.

The team will vote on the winner and top picks with the winner invited to guest design in a future challenge. (We'll supply the winner with a stamp and stencil pack to use too!) Then we'll randomly draw one player from all the entries to win some spending money on the shop -- a $15 gift certificate if STAMPlorations products were used or a $10 gift certificate if without. For the complete challenge guidelines, click here and scroll down to the CAS Card Challenge info.

We're excited to have not one, not two, but three amazing guest designers: Kimberly Wiener, Monika Reeck, and Nancy Littrell. These talented ladies created beautiful CAS cards! We invite you to check out their blogs and leave them some love!

The CAS girls will be back in two weeks to share more CAS cards for this month's challenge.
