CAS at CIU

 Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is 'CAS'; we want to see clean and simple projects using a die cut! 

As some of you probably know, CAS is not my thing.  I love CAS when I see it, but I just don't do much in that style.  So when I do, I suppose I take it quite literally!  hahaha  Black and white CAS!

Here's a video sharing my card.  There's not much to assembling this card, but I do want to share how I made this treble clef into a 'thicker' die cut.  I have been seeing crafters who are new to Cricut Design Space having issues cutting dies that are too delicate/thin.  So, I wanted to offer a solution to the issue.  I also share a solution to color issues with some imports.  


 Come share your projects with us at Cut It Up.  Remember to include a die cut for this challenge!

Material List:

Polkadoodles Treble Clef:  Feel the Music  https://tinyurl.com/5435n6mj
