Christmas in July, who says the holiday spirit is reserved only for December? I love creating special holiday cards for my friends, family, and clients. I would be crazy to think I could get them done during the holiday rush in November. This is why I begin creating my winter season and holiday cards in July.
I set a goal of creating 10 to 20 cards per month. The “Christmas in July” theme helps to get me started. This is a charming way to enjoy the warmth and magic of Christmas during the summer months. A card design that can be used for various occasions throughout the holiday and winter season is a plus. We a from birthdays to anniversaries, or simply to send warm wishes during colder months. It’s a versatile choice that will surely make your loved ones’ hearts glow with happiness.

A card perfect for any occasion during the winter season. The card features a harmonious blend of Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce colors, exuding a natural and inviting feel. Splatters of Real Red ink in the background, created with a Water Pen, add an artistic touch, while the addition of Gold Elegant Trim (155766) adds a shimmer of elegance.
My choice of colors plays a significant role in setting the mood for this card. Crumb Cake, resembling the earthy tones of winter, adds a touch of warmth and coziness.

Real Red and Shaded Spruce, classic Christmas hues, infuse the card with a festive spirit, reminding recipients of the joyous holiday season. Using the Ringed with Nature stamp set is a great choice for making assorted cards with one color pallette.

This adds depth and texture to the card, making it feel more personalized and crafted with love. The splatters can represent the beauty of falling snowflakes or the excitement of unwrapping presents.
Gold cording adds a touch of elegance and shimmer to the card. It complements the natural color scheme while adding a hint of glamour.
