Easy Christmas Cards 4 Different Looks-One Embossing Folder& Stencils

I took the Close To My Heart Christmas Floral folder and stencils and made 4 different cards. The embossing folder makes it so easy to create a lovely card in itself. The stencils take the embossed card to a higher level. The best part is the coloring is so easy to do with ink pads and blending brushes. The 1st card uses the Atlantic Hear Sketch Challenge 548 and Color My Heart Color Dare 571 to make a B & W and Candy Apple red card. I just went on from there to show how versatile you can be with a folder and coordinating stencils. Colors Used-Scarlet, Candy Apple, Pine, Jade

Here are the four cards I created:

An Easy Card to Make That Works for Many Occasions

 The card I'm making today is a combination of two challenges, Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge 547 and Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge 570. For the many vertical strips I used Shimmer Trim in 4 colors. I used Close To My Heart's Journey, Mink, Glacier, and Ballerina for the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge 570. I colored White Shimmer Trim from my stash with a sponge daubers and ink pads according to the challenge. The outer edge of the card is a piece of Majestic Holographic 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. The black background for the stripes is 5 1/4 x 4". The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the All The Best Wishes stamp and thin cut set and I placed it on a piece of white glitter cardstock from our Specialty Papers. The sequins were from my stash.

Here are the Challenges:

Here is my interpretation using both challenges:

Boo To You-A Halloween Card

 I wanted to use the color challenge from Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge again, just cause I love it!

So here is the CDC 569 color combo:

The colors I used were from the Distress Oxides, Candy Apple, Mustard Seed, and Spiced Marmalade.

The stamp set is from my stash. I have no idea how old it is but it is pretty old!!!

It is called Captured Moments. 

Here is the card: 

The bottom of the card looks weird but it is the Black Shimmer Brush.
