You can find the Splitcoaststampers Tutorial which is very helpful in describing bargello here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bargello/
I have used scraps from an old BasicGrey holiday series called Jovial. The poinsettia was created with Susan's Garden Poinsettia dies by Sizzix and the Martha Stewart fern punch. The sentiment comes from Contempo Christmas by Stampin' Up.
