Question Which holiday sets can be used at other times of the year?

I'm trying to organize my stamp sets. I usually keep my holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving & Halloween) in boxes stored in my craft closet. I'm putting them away today, after I make index sheets of which sets are in each box. It got me thinking that some sets although they are mainly for that holiday, can be used for other occasions. An example would be the Crazy for Christmas set, it has one stamp that is a long row of presents. This stamp works for Birthday cards. So I want to hear from others, if any of you utilize your holiday sets (old and new) year round. If so which ones? Thanks.

You could use snowmen stamps just as a general winter hello card. I have a pretty cardinal stamp that could be Christmas or just general. I also have a wireworks star that was sold in the Christmas section but could be used for anything. A Virgin Mary and baby Jesus stamp could be used for a new baby card. I think there's probably lots more ways to use them. An invitation to go "Christmas in July" shopping for a friend??

I have used the Hope stamp from the Wishing You set to make pink and white get well card. Also use the Loads of Love stamp set frequently during the year.

Love and Peace is great for a wedding card, if you use the Love stamp and the Scripture passage that goes with it!

The stars stamp from Happiest of Holidays could be used as a birthday present. Just either stamp or draw in a bow on top. A small ribbow bow would be super cute, too.

Peaceful Wishes is great for people who are outdoorsy. I've used the pine boughs, cones and mistletoe to decorate a candle. It was a birthday present for a good friend of mine.

You can see it here:

I'm also thinking about making my Christmas cards for next year throughout the year - 12 a month. We sent about 60 this year. I expect to send a few more next year. While I started early, I was so busy doing Christmas Card classes for my friends, that I didn't finish mine until a few days before Christmas.
