So as most of you know I'm a StampNation member and absolutely love being one.
StampNation offers weekly challenges (that never close) and great crafty inspiration and tons of video tutorials, friendships and amazing guest designers and design team members.
Well one of this month's challenges was what else but Christmas in July, but with a twist.
We were challenged to create Christmas cards with a decidedly summer pallet. 
Here's the inspiration photo:

So of course I got busy and created not just one card but lots of them, using this fun color pallet. You'll see even more tomorrow. Can you create holiday cards in the heat of the summer? 
Have you tried using non-traditional colors? Give it a try! You'll be surprised how much fun it is.




I hope you enjoy the hop! Don't forget to stop back tomorrow for even more holiday happiness.

    The color pallet happens to be my favorite colors and Christmas is my favorite holiday. So I absolutely love how you put the two together. The snowmen are so adorable. Thanks for hosting this hop.

    Love the colors !! In fact my outdoor decorations are hot pink, bright blue and purple. And last year while I was decorating a landscaper actually stopped and said how happy he was to see something that wasn't red and green. LOL

    These are adorable stamps and a perfect pairing with those summer colors. I can't help but smile when I look at those cute little snowman faces! Love them all, but the middle is my favorite in that "mad bomber" hat as we call them (though I don't have a clue why we call it that)

    Great cards and I love that there is just a little bit of great color on each card and the rest is CAS, makes the colors you did use pop.
