Here's my first card~Poinsettias~
I stamped and embossed the swirls and the sentiment before adding the little accent flower above the sentiment. I stamped and embossed the poinsettias, cut them out, added bling centers, and added them to the card. Easy peasy!

Okay. I may have gotten more than a little carried away...I may have gotten a lot carried away! I had soooo many ideas floating around in my head for this challenge!!! So, I hope you indulge my tenacity and don't condemn it!!!
Here's a 2nd card~I call it "Star Trees"...tell you why in a bit~
Okay, so the title, yeah? Here's how I made them. I stamped a large star image in green and then cut the tips to use as the trees. My husband said it was brilliant. I was just being lazy!!! ;D The snow scene was created by cutting a piece of scratch paper, using it to mask off the bottom of the card, sponging blue to my eyes satisfaction, and then adding some glitter for "snow". :)

Card 3~Holly Bells~
This is my CAS style card for the week--I've been really trying to improve the CAS style cards and so I had to make another one this week. :)

Card 4~Embossed Evergreen~
This card came to me in my dreams...I HAD to make it! The accent flowers were easy to make with my three flower punch. :) I embossed the tree in gold--sorry that the photos don't do it justice. :(

LAST Card (promise!)~Glistening Holiday~
That snowflake is a rub-on that I have had for over a year. It NEEDED to be used. It cried out to me as I was making the 4th card!!! I had to save it.
