I still haven't exhausted the paper and stickers associated to this Christmas scrapbooking kit! I love the different effects I can achieve by layering stickers and designer papers, adding extra stamps, embossing images and adding embellishments.
Not all the stamps and embellishments are currently available, but you probably have something on hand that could replace these.
I think the greeting stickers are very versatile and match stamp sets that are currently available. I don't have the Dasher® stamp, but it is a very affordable single stamp that can be used throughout the winter, especially at the

Christmas season.
I even use the little left-over stickers that are around the strips (see under punched scallop edge on inside of card), to add a little candy-stripe edge to other strips. Why let anything go to waste?

Even little pieces (1-1/4" x 1-1/4" squares) can be used for a "window effect" (see Peace on Earth stamped card below).
Another way to change the way your card works is to make a "cupboard" style -- fold regular card at 2-1/8" from each end, so it opens in the middle like a pair of kitchen cupboards instead of at the bottom or side. The card to the left below (red & cream) doesn't look like a cupboard fold card, but it is!!


Another special treatment is to cut the cardstock on an angle, as shown in the red, striped and cream card below. Add a few embellishments, fancy-punch the card edge and you have varied the card again.


While the Christmas Jingle kit uses Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Chocolat Chip cardstock, I used the single greeting sticker with Glorious Green and the Ornament punch for variety. I stamped the 3-flowers from Punch Pals® stamp set, then coloured them with the shimmer paints. I used scrap sticker edger strips to add some lines to the ornament and some ribbon. I dry embossed the red cardfront and added some shimmer paint to the embossed dots.

The three ornament dangle card was fun -- tying little gold cording bows is not! It makes for a pretty card! I used the scrap mini strip stickers to creat a line to "hang my ornaments" from. Fun!

Creating a two-layer tag in coordinating cardstock for this "present" card and using the various stickers allowed this card to be created within minutes. Not much stamping here!

For the final card in this series, I embossed the punched ornament opening on the inside of the card using a mixture of Iridescent Ice® and Gold embossing powders. This adds a sparkle to the gold that really brightens the card.
