I would use the search tools on SCS. Perhaps use something like "christmas" and "cas". If you are looking for a particular stamp company, many people will include identifiers such as; SUO, SUM, PTI, papertreyink, GKD, flourishes,.... you get the point. Looking at the company galleries will help you learn what abbreviations people use for the various stamp companies.
I have lots of CAS cards in my gallery and Christmas is my favorite time of year. I quickly looked through my gallery to see what I could post for you and this card came to my mind:
Girlfriend that is when you get out your embossing folders if you have them. Use shiney paper and tie a ribbon around it and BAM!!! Done mass production style. Yet so elegant with shiney paper.
I do an annual Merry Quick Christmas Cards that will be on my blog (Cindy Coutts Designs) early next week if you'd like to look at those. They're 10 cards that you can do in an hour or less and have been very popular in the past.
I LOVE the examples I've seen here so far and will definitely keep an eye on this thread because I'm woefully behind on my Christmas cards this year.
At this point I guess people are only creating CAS cards to go out. Here are a few things from my gallery that may strike your fancy. I guess I like CAS as there are quite a few!
I very much like many of the cards referenced in this thread. I disagree that they are simple. I feel the term should be tasteful and not gaudy. It takes more thought to know when to stop putting embellishments on the card. Enough is enough. The cards referenced here take more thought as they are the main event on the card and are not hidden or covered up by a bunch of embellishments. The attention to detail is more intense.

I quite agree to your point Patti, no wonder I never find designing CAS cards easy
Thank you so much, everyone, for all your ideas and inspiration--y'all just might save my Christmas card list from becoming an Epiphany (or Chinese New Year) card list!
When I actually have things done and sent, I'll post pictures so you can see where the inspiration led me. . . .
Hello! I went with quick and easy this year...here is what I did: :p
