First a very CAS card:
Masked the card to leave a space, sponged in DI, then used Stazon to stamp Judikins Sprouts Border. Removed mask, drew a fine line just outside sponged area to give it a 3D look then stamped dragonflies from a stamp set I won in the Butterfly Challenge.

Next, an all-over stamped design that still retains a CAS feel because of the restricted colour palette
The sunflower stamp is an old unmounted one from my stash - I stamped it all over in brown memento ink and coloured with Promarkers, then topped it with a sentiment stamp I won in the Playground.

And finally, moving RIGHT away from CAS, a Christmas card with just about everything but the kitchen sink thrown at it:
The robins are stamped with a lovely Woodware set I won in the playground and all the layers and die cuts are made using snippets - the red glittery layer is the remains of a gift bag I once received a present in. I can't remember what the present was but the bag has been very useful - this is the last scrap of it.
The snowflakes are cut using a new set of cheap dies I bought through Amazon. They cut beautifully and come out cleanly, but the large snowflake comes apart into two separate bits. I don't know whether it's by accident or design but now I know it does that I'm going to use it for making some two tone snowflakes in the future.

Three fabulous cards Jane, especially love the first. Super use of the gift bag on the snippets cards too xx
Three fabulous and very different cards. I love how you have used up the gift bag, but can't remember what was in it! Sounds like you're going back to your childhood when the box was more interesting than the present!
Gorgeous cards Jane - and it's so lovely to see you using Playground prizes as well! A host of gorgeous snippets goes so, so well with those sweet little robins! Love the snowflake dies - I really ought to explore away from well known brands as there are some beautiful designs around nowadays.
Hugs
