Clean and Simple Card Workshop

with Jeri Parks




Course Description


Clean and simple (CAS) cards have been taking the card making world by storm. In the world of card making there are many different kinds or styles of cards, but they tend to fall into three categories. Cards that focus on products, cards that focus on techniques and cards that focus on design. It is that last type of card that is the essence of clean and simple cards.

One should never confuse quick and easy with clean and simple. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. When I create a CAS card I know the design has to be perfect. So while the card may come together quickly in the end, it takes a lot of planning before assembly begins. Sometimes small changes can make a HUGE difference.

By the end of this class you will:

  • Be able to easily define and spot a CAS card.
  • Learn the design basics of balance, focal point, scale, composition, rule of thirds, weight, contrast, symmetry, texture and repetition.
  • Compare and contrast good and bad design to learn how to improve your work.
  • Receive a printable workbook to record your notes, sketches and ideas.
  • Receive 10-15 pre-designed cards with instructions and sketches to get you started.

  • Lesson One: We will discuss what defines a clean and simple card. We will also discuss composition, rule of 3rds and focal point.You willreceiveyour first workbook pages to print and start work on the pre-designed cards.
