Stampin' Up! Creative Challenge

 Explore new Christmas color combos and host “get-it-done” gatherings to tackle holiday to-do lists together.

Creative Challenge: Using Traditional and Nontraditional Christmas Colors

Sometimes you want to stick with classic Christmas colors, and sometimes it’s fun to mix things up. This month’s creative challenge is all about stepping outside your comfort zone and trying both! Our Holly Jolly Christmas card highlights traditional reds and greens with Real Red, Garden Green, and Soft Sea Foam paired with neutral Crumb Cake. Our Make Merry card takes the nontraditional route with Azure Afternoon, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, and Summer Splash. Both approaches create festive, beautiful cards with their own unique holiday feel. How will you approach this challenge?
