Simply Clean & Simple (4/2026) - Baskets

 Hello my friends and welcome to my blog!

Today I have a card to share for our challenge blog using the CAS (clean & simple) design style. 
Our blog is called Simply Clean & Simple and today's OPTIONAL theme is:
 
 Baskets
  

 When I saw today's theme, my thoughts first went to my die collection but then I remembered I had a few toppers that had a basket of this or that and opened my topper drawer to see exactly what was available and found this adorable basket of kittens.  
 
I just love these 3D toppers.  All of them are beautiful and make a quick CAS card.  Today I've used the Hearty Crafts 'Cats' HC13890 topper.   

Easy 3D Toppers - Cats

I had an extra frame cut & hanging on my 'extras' board so popped it up then created a sentiment via computer and die cut it.  Here are the two die sets I've used . . .

    


Remember, our challenge is Anything Goes CLEAN & SIMPLE but we do offer an OPTIONAL theme.  You have until the 28th to share your CAS design into our challenge blog.
