[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Loved the reminder to use the ghost technique while stamping. Loved your ‘Thanks!’ card, and the other using the stencil. TFS! 😘✨👍🏾 USA.

[@JennyColacicco]

Thank you Gwen!!

[@jamingammy6817]

It totally amazes me how well that type of brush blends so smoothly it gives the color a flawless look! LOVE IT!

[@carlaallen4499]

Being new to this I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed to come up with ideas and forget that simple can be just as beautiful and impactful. Thank you!

[@mollys5146]

Your clean and simple cards are so perfect. I always feel like mine never look like these. Thank you for the tutorial and the encouragement to do more of these! From USA

[@kmaxwell8783]

Jenny!!! So glad to see you on this hop!!! You know how much I adore your cards and tutorials!!! Great techniques and tips!!! I have been in a creative rut for a while and needed this as a reminder of how much I adore Clean and Simple cards!!! Thanks ao much!!! Big Hugs!!!

[@dotalinadavis7557]

Love the look of beautiful crisp clean white cards with the perfect note or embellishment on them. You are spot on with yours! I like others struggle to keep the “next” level at bay and be satisfied with a really exquisite card.

[@JennyColacicco]

Thank you - it is tough, I think it's really going with the less is more and using the nicest products you have and love to be the star

[@annatracy757]

These are all great CAS cards and I love the second card showing how to use those small stamps! Thank you 🇺🇸

[@juliettesteinbach2004]

Clean and simple! Totally doable and so pretty! Thank you, Jenny. 🇺🇸

[@angeliclady1]

Loved your tips. I had moved away from clean and simple and now because of your video, I'm eager to try these ideas!

[@deborahdaniels5834]

I love your cards, thanks for the tips. Its always nice to have cards in your library of cards to make in a flash. It helps me at times with that sense of accomplishment. I'm in the US.

[@isabelle7403]

Love these CAS examples! Sometimes we get caught up in too many techniques and details. Good to see simple can be beautiful! TFS, Jenny, you are so talented.

[@JennyColacicco]

Isabelle thank you for such kind words x

[@Renee292929]

Oh my goodness love your 5 cards and your ideas! If I had to choose I would have to say the Hello card and the thanks card are my favorite! I also have the Altenew wall paper art stamp it’s absolutely gorgeous! The bright white emboss looks so pretty with the last card. You did a fabulous job! 👍🏻❤️ USA

[@enelson3293]

Lovely cards! I tend to use more die-cuts than stamping, but your clean and simple cards look so fresh that I will be trying some of your ideas. Especially that last, tone-on-tone grey card. Thanks for the ideas from the US.

[@conniejohnson5398]

Clean and simple equals classy and elegant!!! Wonderful cards and ones that can be done relatively quickly! Thanks sooooooo much for contributing today Jenny! You've inspired me :) I'm in the USA.

[@JennyColacicco]

Thank you Connie, what a wonderful comment!

[@jeanetteleyvas4542]

Gorgeous cards ♥️Love that pop of color idea. Sometimes simple is more.

[@joannusey9074]

Love the clean & simple cards -- my creative style. My favs were the last 2. Love the stencil and those leaves and the shades of grays really looked wonderful. I'm in the USA - I'm a new subscriber and loving this Video Hop! Thanks!!

[@chrisreinhart5072]

Love your ideas. I’m new to card making and seem to overthink the elements. Clean is beautiful too! Thanks.

[@jennyanderton871]

I’m a new card maker and love the idea of CAS cards. I learnt so much from your video, thank you!👏🇦🇺

[@flo-llama]

Clean. Simple. Beautiful. My jaw dropped - simple shades of gray, yet so stunning! (USA)

[@denisehbisme]

Great tips! Love them all and especially love the tone on tone card with the depth from the different shades. USA

[@terismith4333]

CAS style cards are my very favourite. You've given a great tutorial on different ways to make them & I appreciate that. I didn't know Wow made an opaque bright white embossing powder. I'll have to see if I can get some as I like the way you could still see a bit of the leaf behind it. Thanks from the west coast of Canada.

[@caseyslove]

Great tips for simple and quick cards. I especially like the tone on tone one.

[@tiffanyjohnson5899]

Love your ideas! That last one with the neutrals might be my favorite. Love how the white embossing powder pops on the gray tones! USA

[@miriam_kathleen]

Really pretty cards. my favorite is the tone on tone- just gorgeous! USA

[@SabrinaRadican]

I struggle with clean and simple and you make it look so easy! Your cards are so beautiful!!

[@JennyColacicco]

I promise it's easy when you take a breath and plan a little - it's funny but the cleanest cards are actually the hardest sometimes! Thanks for watching x

[@jomalicoat4677]

Wow, love your cards! And that Catherine Pooler ink looks fantastic, I'll be trying that out for sure. Especially loved the masking technique. Gorgeous stencil! The tone on tone card - stunning! Thanks so much from USA :-)

[@margievanhandel259]

Seemed to be having issues leaving a comment on your video, 3rd attempt. You've addressed my Motto of LESS IS MORE! Love the simplicity of these cards. New subscriber from WI

[@krislayne1520]

I absolutely LOVE your quick and concise tutorial that ends with beautiful CAS cards! Thank you! USA

I enjoyed all your great tips for clean and simple cards! This is mainly my style of cardmaking. Thanks for taking part in the hop. (USA)

[@BillieDee]

Hello Dahling! I love your dialect! I will visit more often (especially to not seem creepy. eep!) What a great black and white card! Love the simple style. USA. Purple is my favorite! So lovely!

[@JennyColacicco]

lol!

[@krystinsawyer]

Thank you for doing a video on this topic! As a new card maker, I found it super helpful. 💖

[@humptydumpty9167]

I was so relieved to see your video! I love the "less is more" look. I don't like all the clutter in a lot of cards. I am new to cardmaking and will save your ideas for the future as I feel like I finally found someone who likes what I like! I was beginning to feel hopeless in this hobby as I was overwhelmed with feeling like I was not in touch with many others. Your last card with the leaves of two shades was fabulous but easy! Now I can relate to that! Thank you! USA.

[@JennyColacicco]

CAS cards are my absolute favorite and I feel like having only one or two supplies really challenges your inner creativity. only make the cards you love x

[@deborahthreefourfive6824]

Love how you did the angle strip. I thought is was a cut piece of paper and glued on. Great idea. Thank you. (USA)

[@dktbdt04]

Clean & simple...they always take me longer to make because I think so hard about what to keep in and what to leave out! Love your tips (US)

[@watercolorseasons5321]

Thank you! I have struggled with CAS cards because I always think; *ok, ONE more little thing*...LOL But watching your tips has helped me put them into perspective in a wonderful way and I will be able to accomplish CAS cards now! USA

[@breakingthread]

Simple and elegant cards. Love the 2-tones; think I am going to try it. We shall see how it goes. I have a tendency to not know where to stop. Really nice cards and fairly easy and quick. TFS. US🇺🇸

[@JennyColacicco]

I know what you mean - it can be tough to know! Hope these help! x

[@anneslinger2189]

I appreciate your putting all these ideas in terms of design principles. I've seen all of these styles but I would never have been able to articulate these ideas so succinctly. Thanks (USA)

[@JennyColacicco]

Wow thank you for the wonderful feedback that means a lot x

[@HandmadeByTasha13]

These are brilliant tips, thank you so much! I struggle so much with the clean & simple look, I never know when to stop! So this video is perfect for me! (UK based crafter)

[@teriterrific6877]

Your tutorial was lovely to watch; clear and to the point. Great tips; my favorite is the last, tone-on-tone neutrals, but I also favor the pop-of-color (I like to use this technique in my sewing projects as well). Also, clever use of the tiny stamps; can't wait to try that! Thank you. Teri Terrific from beautiful Kalispell, Montana, USA

[@JennyColacicco]

Thank you so much!! And one day I hope to visit Montana! So jealous !
