Two Color Challenges and One Layout

I have two cards that maximized my time for two color challenges.  If you're like me you sometimes run short of time.  Designing and planning a card often take up most of my time in cardmaking.  Both of these challenges had two greens and another color which made them perfect for foliage based cards!

I knew immediately I wanted to use the Plentiful Plants Bundle from Stampin' Up! for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.  Houseplant stamps seem to be trending right now and this set is super cute.  My favorite is the planet hanger die (which I did not end up using on this card.) 

As I was designing the card I realized that the Season's Blessings Bundle is very similar in theme and scale and would be perfect for the Splitcoaststampers color challenge which has Christmas in July as its theme.  I could design one card and just swap out the plants, colors and sentiments.

 

I used two different embossing folders on the base and popped up the smooth rectangles using foam tape.  A sentiment from Season's Blessings is on the Plentiful Plants card and one from Words of Cheer is on the Season's Blessing card.  All these sets coordinate beautifully.
