Alot of that is probably scanned and flirted w/in photoshop... made into quick vectors using tracing programs etc... and 'some' may be hand-rendered to perfection... there's a ton of different ways to achieve the 'look'... but to get that 'victorian scroll work' - I'd advised first doing some research on old victorian patterns (wall paper, furniture apholestry etc... possibly dig into some art nouveau for visuals too)...
.... and by the time you got good at that maximalist 'style'... people wouldn't be doing it anymore. :) At least not in the exact style that the jpg's you posted are showing (it IS everywhere - and it's marketed at us mainly... designery/brand motived /consciously aware of trendy stuff type people.
It's a fad, dude - learn the technique though... being able to create intricate stuff will only make you more valuable in the future... do it for the 'know how' and avoid the trend (unless you're specifically designing for the demographic /MTVish under 30-ish crowd.. :) ).
