So far I have only been working on my grandchildren's cards which is using the blue & white with DP of snowflakes, For some family members & friends I will be using mainly green with Holly DP. I haven't deceided on the other cards yet!
I'm thinking white and gold. I was playing around yesterday with my new cuttlebug embossing folders to see what Christmas cards I wanted to make. I didn't have time to post them in my gallery yet (I'm still working on them).
I'm going to be really brave and use Real Red, Old Olive, and Creamy Caramel. I'm moving to Miami in December, so I'm using Crab & Company for my cards.

I'm using Kraft with various reds and greens. I just ordered Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red, so those will definitely be used. Also, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red, Old Olive, Real Red. I am have a bunch of new stamps so I will make a variety of cards with a variety of color combinations.

Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, and Pink Pirouette. I just love those colors together. I might throw in a little Chocolate Chip too. Not everyone on my card list is getting a handmade card. I can't afford (time or $$) to make 100 cards. Only the handmade card appreciaters are getting them. It's around 25 so that's more doable.
I'm using snow swirled. I'll try to post one once I get the prototype done. I'm going to try to be CASE-free for it so I'll really have to be creative. I have been avoiding the Snow Swirled gallery to keep it that way. Just a little challenge for myself.
Some will be Eggplant, Teal, Silver and White since I wanted something different. Others will be Brocade Blue and Ruby Red; I'm going for that Scandinavian look with those. I'm using Snow Swirled but haven't come up with my design yet. We usually send about 125 cards so I better get going!!

Let me be the first to welcome you to Sunny South Florida! Wow, you picked a fantastic time to move down. I live in the West Palm Beach area (not too far from Miami). I hope you like it!
As for my Christmas colors, I think I'll be using PTI's Pure Poppy (red), white, and gold. I may also do Kraft, white, and blue (snowflake theme).
I have made over 2000 Christmas cards already, many for the troops, 2 swim teams for fund raisers and the church bookstore. My favorite colors are Old Olive and Real Red. I have used up a lot of the DSP from the last couple years. The cards are lovely and I am sure will be appreciated.
Blessings.
Since I purchased them just before they retired, I'm using Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and Blue Bayou for some of my cards; don't know what I'm going to do about the rest.

Well, last year I went light and white... mostly white with some light blue and some mostly white with pink and gable green.
SO... this year I am hoping to be inspired by SU's holiday mini sets, their new ribbon, and Ski Slope DP. Thinking red, vanilla and Kraft to go with them. Also would like to do some with the silvery and shimmery blue from PTI. And always .... Nestabilitied and Cuttlebugged white.
Since I have a really hard time doing a gazillion of one design, I'll probably do three different designs and that means more color choices, too!!
I made my cards a few months ago (I'm a teacher and I do the great majority of my stamping during summer vacation). I had several packages of Dashing DP and I used that with the colors that coordinate--real red/celery/olive. Not very imaginative but I love red and green so it was a no-brainer.
