Every year when I get Christmas cards, I save some parts for my
"scavenge pile". If the card front is pretty & isn't a specially
hand made one and doesn't have a message on it, I save it for card
making later so it gets double duty. This year as I was preparing my
cards, I found I needed another 6 cards. So, I went through my scavenge
pile and found some pieces that looked interesting to make the
remaining cards I needed.
For this first one, I embossed the front of the card base & then added
the scavenged embellishment (and a sentiment from my HD "Essential
book of Christmas Greetings").

This
cut-away card was quick to make. Embossed the card front & cut it
away to add HohoHo on the inside so it could be seen when the card was
closed.


Again
I embossed the card front before adding my scavenged topper with a
greeting from my HD "Essential book of Christmas Greetings". On the inside, I added a HD die
cut from an older set.

I loved
this framed bird, and thought it went well with the background paper.
To make the greeting stand out, I attached it to a piece of fun foam.

This scavenged topper was already embossed, so I just matted it to a simple plaid design & added a greeting.
This
beautiful topper was a paper tole style scavenged piece. I added a
piece from a HD deco set - and another to a patterned paper border on
the inside.
