I've been into making CAS cards lately so that's what I went with for today's cards...I love a pop of color against clean, crisp white space!
My first card uses the new set Poinsestta - the flower is colored with copics and popped up, with the leaves and petals being curled up for dimension. I kept it to one popped up layer for less expensive postage because I'd already popped up the sentiment panel but it would be very easy to do multiple layers for even more dimension!
I added white pearls for the flower center/centre and put it all against a lattice embossed background.
There are a number of wonderful sentiments with this set but I went with the simple "Merry Christmas"!

Supplies used:
Creative Expressions Lattice embossing folder
Copics
Pearls
Memento Tuxedo Black
My second card uses a beautiful silhouette set called An Old Fashioned Christmas - there are so many ways you could use this fab set, but I sponged some snow banks by masking with post it notes.
I also thinned down a bit of white acrylic paint with water so that I could use a toothbrush to spatter
it for a "blizzard" effect!

I added some punched snowflakes with pearls for embellishments, keeping plenty of white space, with only a wide plaid ribbon bow and matching button to finish.
Supplies include:
SU Pool Party ink
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Ribbon
October Afternoon button
Circle Cutter
Woodware snowflake punch
Pearls
Post-it-notes
Acrylic paint
Here's a list of everyone participting in the hop today, enjoy all the inspiration!

Gorgeous cards Bridget. Love the CAS style. You still managed to put a WOW! touches on both cards, like the embossed background and pearl middle on the poinsettia, and the sparkly circle on the second.
It amazes me how you all have such different colors for these gorgeous Christmas cards. Or maybe I'm just stuck in a rut. Thanks for pullin' me out!
Super pretty cards and fabulous CAS style, Bridget!!
Both of these are such beautiful cards. I, too, love the look of crisp white with a pop of color. You pulled it off so well. The the circle on the second cards looks a bit like a snowglobe. Great job.
Very pretty cards, both of them. I love the first for the flower with pearls and the embossed background. The second for the colors and the snowflakes.
Lovely cards, thanks for sharing!
These cards are both so lovely. I am in love with the sleigh ride scene. It is so very hot here in Florida. Thanks for the inspiration.
