It's time for another Christmas Kickstart Challenge!
We've now reached July and this is the month where Christmas Kickstart changes from monthly challenges to fortnightly challenges, so hold onto your hats as we speed towards Christmas!
Once again regular guest Gail is acting as elf for this challenge, and she picked the theme...
Christmas Kickstart Challenge #33 - Hatty Christmas
Yes, for this fortnight we'd like to see a HAT or HATS on your cards, please, and you can see Gail's cute creation for this challenge over on the CKC blog.
This is Pablo the Penguin! Isn't he cute? He's a magazine freebie from Making Cards Magazine and has a few friends in the set too. The knitted effect background is called Knitted Sweater by MFT and the sentiment if from Mama Elephant.
For my second card I went with a sweet Santa (after all, he is wearing a hat!) and a super CAS style.
Rudolph has another lovely Random Raffle Prize to award to one lucky participant - just look at all those gorgeous sentiments!
Don't forget this challenge is open until 11.55pm BST 20th July, and both Gail and I hope you'll come and join the fun.

Adorable penguin and I love your CAS santa card Jo. Thanks for having me as your elf this challenge. Hugz
Great inspiration, sad I didn't get to finish my tag one, oh well on to the next. Now I need to speed up.
Darling, and I need to get in gear. Nice to see this go to fortnightly for the rest of the year.
Two darling hat cards, Jo! Especially love the penguin in the knitted hat but that Santa sure is adorable!! Glad I read closely that you're back to a fortnightly challenge - gotta keep building that Christmas card stash!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Jo I have been VERY lax at playing along - you were my only hope for getting those cards made early!!
Fingers crossed - I HAVE a lovely hatted stamp!
Both of your cards are darling - though I think the Santa is a bit of a stretch - have you ever seen him without a hat? LOL
=]
Fantastic cards Jo. Particularly love the penguin. I have a friend who wears a hat just like that!
Two super cute cards Jo! I’ve just got a stamp of two penguins wearing hats and I haven’t made a single Christmas card so far - wonder if I can get my backside in gear and join in with this one?!
These are both so cute! I wonder if making a few Christmas cards will make it seem a little cooler? :D
Two great CAS style cards. Love the penguin card with purples, and the knitted print is a cozy detail. Santa looks strict, super, clean design, perfect for postage.
Hi Jo
I hope all is well at your end.
Great to see the challenge back to being fortnightly.
Have been going through my stamps in readiness for a creation.
Two great cards here .. .. especially that cute penguin.
Have a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Aww these are fab Jo, Pablo is a cutie!
Both of your cards are simply adorable and both CAS-tastic!
Love the penguin how sweet is he!
Love the santa I love the use of red, hugs Pops x
Two great cards and I particularly love your penguin colour scheme.
