Default Making Christmas cards out of non-Christmas stamps

So I was browsing on pinterest yesterday (yes, I know - dangerous occupation that), and I came across this pin: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/181269953727526468/
And that pin got me thinking (yes, another dangerous occupation!) and I started searching the work of art gallery here on SCS. And I found these:

Work of Art Tree by cullenwr

Work of Art Ornaments by marmie43gs

Brushstroke Wreath by kimbee1556

Some very clever people on this board (and BTW, I blame you all for making me want this set!) - I love the creativity of turning a non-Christmas set/stamp into a gorgeous or fun Christmas card.
I'm convinced there must be more of this cleverness out there - so please share! What do you have in your gallery or what have you seen in others' galleries that use non-Christmas stamps to make Christmas cards?
I'd love to be inspired by more!

What great inspiration. Thanks for sharing this.

I thought all of them were amazing. I would never have thought of the wreath with that stamp.

A couple of years ago, one of my favorite blogs gave us a challenge to use non-holiday stamps to make a holiday card.

My scripture verse is definitely abut Christmas, but I made my own pattern paper with other stamps...

I found a number of stampers had made a number of different wreath cards using the pocket silhouettes stamp set. I couldn't possibly link all the beauties, so I have picked one so you get the idea.

I did walk through the gallery a bit to see the different uses of those stamps. Great use of a stamp to get the most mileage for craft dollars spent. Love when people show unique ideas in this way.

Checked out where to get those stamps also. There are some great SU Silhouette stamp packages in the catalog right now.
