My first card uses the awesome Festive Florals Stamps and Festive Florals Dies.

I started this card with a kraft card base and a plan to use some nontraditional Christmas colors. I stamped and embossed my poinsettias from Festive Florals Stamps on a piece of pink cardstock with a black glitter embossing powder. Next, I stamped, embossed, and cut a poinsettia from a wine cardstock using the Festive Florals Dies. I trimmed my pink so that it took up a small portion of the lower card and attached it to the card front. I stamped a sentiment on an off white cardstock with Festive Florals Stamps and layered it over the pink to make a sentiment banner. I finished the card up by popping my wine colored poinsettia with some foam tape. Here's another peek:

Since I'm on a floral kick, I'll share what I made with the Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps and Vintage Christmas Wreath Dies.

I searched through my patterned paper stash for a paper that looked a little vintage. I lucked out and found two sheets of this postcard style paper. I used the Vintage Christmas Wreath Dies to cut out my wreath from one piece in the same exact spot where I would be placing it on the second sheet. Then I stamped using Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps and colored my wreath with copics. I attached it to the other piece but I felt it needed a little more of the florals so I stamped parts of the wreath in two corners to bring the same look to the cardbase. Here's a closer look:

I have three cards today and my final card uses the Noel Word Die.

I found this fun star paper and cut coordinating papers with Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles to layer across my card to create a great spot for my focal point to land. I had a gold tree ring cardstock piece that I have been hording so I cut a portion of that out and popped it up with some foam tape before adding the Noel Word Die which is cut from red metallic paper. I added a fun little Rudolph nose, some twine, and some glitter stars to finish off this card! Here's another look:
