OCC - Clean and Simple and more cards!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Hope you all had fun celebrating??? I've been a lazy girl, hanging out in my PJ's just stampin' the day away!!! Today I'm getting dressed :) and I'm taking my girls ice skating - wahooo!!!.

Hope you are still off from work and you can join us in this weeks OCC Challenge??? Since it's a new month we also have a new Challenge Host - Joycelyn!!! She is challenging us to create a *CAS - Clean and Simple* card or project - wahoooooo!!!!

First is my OCC CAS card...... I combined it with the ssnotime120 Challenge  - using something NEW.


I bought this Giga Guidelines Set a few weeks ago and didn't get a chance to ink it up yet....!!! As you can tell I kept it super duper simple. The color I used is Basic Gray.

Make sure to stop by the OCC Blog to see all the awesome CAS samples!!!

************************************

My second card is for last weeks C4C17 Sketch Challenge and this weeks C4C18 - Polka Dot Fun. The colors are from last weeks Stamping 411 - Color Challenge #104 - using Rose Red, Apricot Appeal and Certainly Celery.


I had to use my beautiful For All You Do Set from SU again.....if you missed the card I made the other day...click here. I really love this Set :) and I'll use it soon again!!!

***************************************

My third card is for today's IC213 - Design Spirt Studio and this weeks Stampin'B's Challenge - using some Old and New items.

I chose this beautiful Purple Flower Pendant for my inspirtation.


The flower image is an older SAB Stampin' Up Stamp Set called Best Blossom  and it was my first SAB Set I've earned!!!  The sentiment is from the Great Friend Set. 
 
The new item I added is the Button from the SU Playground Design Collection. I finished the card off with some Satin Ribbon and Silver Pearls. Voila!!!

I have lots of SU Stamps for sell.....make sure to check out my list right HERE!!!  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you  have fun playing along!!!

Love them all, Silke! Classy first card and then you have that wonderful flower set taunting me again in the second card LOL! Love how you have the strip of Swiss Dots down the side of the white panel on that card. Lovely third card too - I love how you used the leaf from that set to create this great card. Fabulous jammie stamping day cards :D Off to the wave pool today and then tomorrow the kiddies go back to school so I can stamp!!

Kathy Jones said...

WOW Silke - you've been busy!!! What a gorgeous trio of cards - all different and yet beautiful!!! It's very hard to pick a favourite, maybe the middle one --- but only because I love the butterfly!!! :)

Kristin Moore said...

So much to say about all three! Wow, the first one is just extraordinary- so basic in color yet so striking! I love Basic Gray- maybe my favorite neutral! So elegant and sophisticated with that little row of pearls! The row of dots and fresh springy colors on the second card are just lovely and like a breath of fresh air! And I recognized that old SU set right away on your thired card. Great color combo with the purples and green, and I love the subtle embossed lines on the back! Beautiful as always!

Jane Wetzel said...
