Edited to add: ...and the Winner is:
Welcome to the Paper Funday "Christmas in July' Blog Hop, in conjunction with Inspiration Station. You should have arrived here from Anita's blog but if you've missed any of the stops, you can go to the main post at Paper Funday and start at the beginning.
I've used one of the beautiful images from a set called "Holiday Candy Deluxe" by Jan's Digi Stamps. I'll be offering the main image in black and white as a prize for one of the commenters on my blog. It colors up so beautifully and I chose the traditional Christmas colors of red and green.
Although it's not easily visible in my first photo, the candy jar itself has been fussy cut and mounted onto Pop Dots, then applied to the main candy jar image (cut with a QuicKutz die) which gives it delightful dimension. I added a corner bit (also from the Holiday Candy set) and the sentiment at the bottom, then layered the image onto a deep green frame (also cut with QuicKutz die.)
The background dp is from Recollections. I dug through my scrap ribbon stash and found both the white netting and the gold metallic ribbon I decided the dp was busy enough that the card needed nothing more than the ribbon for embellishment.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
BTW, I visited the JDS store and discovered that all her Christmas sets are on sale this month. The set I used, Holiday Candy Deluxe, is reduced from $7.00 to only $5.25! Here's a shot of the entire set, including 12 pre-colored & B&W images, plus 5 sentiments. You could do all the Christmas cards you need from just this one set! :-D

Lovely card. Thank you for your inspiration on the blog hop.
I use both traditional and non traditional colours on my Christmas cards.
Don't put my name in the draw for the prize leave it to someone else. I am on Jan's design team as you know.
Connie, this is so beautiful! I love those colorful candies, your magical background, and the festive feel of the holidays! It's lovely! xx
Wow, this is quite stunning! Love that beautiful candy jar and the whole design is so pretty. I love doing both traditional as well as non-traditional colors for Christmas.
A lovely colorful Christmas card with a wonderful image - I like pre-colored or black and white images, as I am not fond of my coloring skills -- you did grand! TFS and for the HOP
Such a beautiful card, Nana Connie! The colors and layers are stunning!
Your card is adorable. I don't really have a preference I like reds and golds of the traditional but pinks for non traditional lol! I guess if I had to choose it would be non traditional Lisa J
This is a great card and image!! I love your traditional Christmas colors. I go back and forth with my color choices and for last years cards I embossed white on white with crystal glitter and really liked that.
Beautiful card, Connie! I love how you fussy cut the jar.
I love non-traditional colors and I do use them. But it also depends on my card recipient on which way I go.
Hugs Monica
