I've been under the weather for the past two weeks and haven't had the motivation to work on cards at all, but I actually felt human again last night and got to work on a few Christmas in July cards to add to my stash. I used an embossing folder , two patterned border stamps by Waffle Flower and a bear stamp by Hampton Arts to make this fun design. As a finishing touch, I added sparkle and shine with Stickles on each of the tiny stars surrounding the sentiment, as well as a few teeny rhinestones inside the stars.
Double Trouble challenge, I did Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3

Lost Coast Designs challenge 148, Christmas in July
Colorful Options July challenge, red white and blue or rainbow
ABC Christmas challenge, O is for old (stamps and embossing folder)
Like that you used a Buffalo plaid for your bear die, nice bold sentiment using some sparkly snowflakes. Thanks for sharing your fun Christmas card with us at Double Trouble and Jingle Belles Rock challenges.
