My first two cards feature Pink Christmas stamp & die combo as well as an image (palm tree) from Sea, Sand, Santa. I've also used the Build a Scene - Snow Drifts on my sandy beach.
I started by stamping the flamingos and palm trees a few times onto Sugar Cube cardstock using Oreo ink. I colored these with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once I was finished, I set these images aside and created backgrounds for both of my cards. Using a few different colors of Distress Oxide inks, I did some light ink blending to create the sky. I did the same for the sand and used Build a Scene - Snow Drifts to die cut some sandy hills.
I added my sentiment to a cloud shaped talk bubble using Let's Talk - Edger 2. Once I assembled all of my pieces on my A2 card front, I adhered the pieces with liquid glue, then I popped up a couple of the flamingos for some interest.

The second card is also A2 sized and a vertical beach scene. For this one, I used the second sentiment from Pink Christmas, stamped and die cut with Stitched Banner Stacklets. The flamingos are popped up with foam tape and the black musical note between them is from Little Bits - Love Notes.
Here's a detail shot:

For my final project, I made a set of 4 A2 notecards using Woodland Silhouettes 1 and 2. These dies allow you to create beautiful silhouttes which can be used to create elegant cards very quickly.
The first two cards feature Woodland Silhouettes 1, which contains a stag bust and reindeer. I started by using the new Nordic Flake Stencil and Sugar Cube pigment ink on the new Blueberry cardstock. Oh, I just love how that turned out! I did set it aside to dry before assembling my cards.
I used Petite Scallop Oval Stacklets to die cut a portion of my card front, then I added it back with foam adhesive to create a seamless front, yet some added dimension. Here's the stag bust:
And the reindeer:
Woodland Silhouettes 2 features a bear and a moose silhouette. For these, I used the new Snow Flurry Stencil to create a snowy background on Blueberry cardstock. I added a snow hill using Build a Scene - Snow Drifts and a moon (die cut out of a 7/8" circle punch). The sentiments are from Simply Said - Christmas. First up is the moose:
And the bear (this one makes me think of California!):
