Welcome to both Double Trouble and Atlantic Hearts.
Double Trouble is pairing with Atlantic Hearts for a two week period and since I am on both design teams, it made sense to combine the posts.
The small graphic for Double Trouble is below. Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information.
The sketches for Atlantic Hearts are also below. Please note the dates for these challenges - 604 is for the first week (Nov 18-24) and 605 is for the following week (Nov 25-Dec 1).

The first card is for Sketch 604 - I actually made two cards as one was finished before I knew that these challenges were partnering together.
I foiled a piece of white paper with teal foil and cut that down to fit on a stitched background. I used a smaller rectangle to die cut another stitched piece and cut openings in each side to slide a piece of white cardstock through the middle. A sentiment was stamped and I added gems on each side.
The first card I made for the same challenge was totally different - I completely changed the colour scheme to get away from the visual image of Santa's belt. I adhered a piece of white snowflake vellum over black cardstock, The sentiment was stencilled in shades of turquoise and blue and die cut. I also stamped a smaller sentiment across the word Christmas. That was adhered to a shimmery white cardstock piece and I added some gems to the centres of the snowflakes.
For my second card for Atlantic Hearts (Sketch 605), I used patterned paper for the background and added a metallic gold strip and stitched border to the front. The floral image was stamped, stencilled and die cut and I used a white gel pen to add some details. The sentiment was adhered at the bottom.
Come and join us at both Double Trouble and Atlantic Hearts and show us how you interpret these challenges.

Like the simplicity of this sketch and both of your cards are pretty. The Christmas card has such pretty paper and the other card is a good for either manual or feminine.
All three cards are lovely, Alyson. Love the pretty teal foil and cardstock used (a fave color for me!). Love the snowflake card and how you stamped a sentiment on the 'Christmas'. The floral card is gorgeous and I love the blue & gold.
Your takes on the "Santa belt" turned out great, and really love the blue floral!
These are so cute, Alyson! Love the CAS on the 604 challenge cards! And the floral for 605 is so pretty :)
Such a lovely array of cards, Alyson. I love the colors you selected for each one.
