Holly Leaves Cards

I've been busy pulling out my Christmas Stamps and trying to get them into one place for card making.  I had offered to make my Mom's holiday cards for her, so here are the first 2.  I tried to go with it being a CAS card, and that is always such a challenge for me!  All stamps that I've used on this card duo are from Clear Dollar Stamps. (Holly Leaves, Gift Labels, Holiday Nutcrackers)
