One of CHA's great features are the hundreds of projects on display at the various booths, including our own. Typically, a lot of these projects are put together very last minute, almost down to the wire. So, it's amazing to see what artists can fashion together given the short time-frame allotted for creating their designs. We recruited six of our own designers to create project samples to sit alongside our new collections. Sure enough, you may have already seen a few online, either here, or elsewhere. If you haven't, then look no further - we got you covered! Now through Friday, we're sharing a glimpse of our booth projects and also, giving away three collection kits (one per day). The kit up for grabs today is "Sleigh Ride" - comment your fave holiday color combination and we'll announce the winner on Monday, July 23rd!

As you probably can tell, Crate Paper is loving the bright colors this holiday season!! The modern scheme is festive with a hint of whimsy and can be played as a whole, or via it's individual parts. Paired against the subtly of white vellum and the metallic glimmer of classic gold, the colors are easily tamed, so if you're a minimalist or prefer a more traditional Christmas color palette, Sleigh Ride caters to that as well. Just look at the varying differences of the above projects - you truly can go any direction you choose with this collection!
*Tell us which holiday color palette most often catches your attention, or is sprinkled throughout your craft/scrapbook projects during the Christmas/Winter months. One of you will WIN Crate's BRAND NEW Sleigh Ride Collection Kit!! Good Luck!
I love teal with red ! Beautiful.

I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas, I like red and green.

I love the traditional red, green and white. I also love a little pink or aqua mixed in with those. Loving the projects!!

I love the blue and pink with the red

I usually hate pink, but pair it with the fun bright blue and red and I adore it! I prefer the fun and funky colors over the traditional ones :)

Gorgeous projects for s gorgeous collection!

I can't stand plan red and green. If I have to have them, it needs to include some aqua or something to throw it off. I love this line...it's perfectly un-Christmasy. ;)

I also love the red & aqua/teal combo. I tend to use a lot of white for Christmas with pops of color and this line will provide delicious pops!

For a different, eye catching Christmas combo, I love red and pale aqua!

Red is usually in my papers but I love to see blue with glitter for snowflakes!

I love the look of red and aqua... Christmassy but a bit cool. :)
Posted by: Liz | July 18, 2012 at 05:30 AM
I love red and all its incarnations: pink, burgundy, magenta, etc. paired with crisp, clean snow white. That screams Cristmas to me!

Love the red sprinkled with the pink and turquoise!

My favorite holiday color combo: hot pink and gold...so girly and striking! :)

Well, you've done it right Christmas red & aqua are such a great new/retro blend. I also love the name "Sleigh Ride" sounds like a look down memory lane. The colors, & designs I can almost hear the snow crunch, anytime is great for Christmas papers.
