For this week's card, I wanted to show that you can use non-Christmas products for Christmas purposes.  The red & detailed white cut out remind me of Scandinavian designs.  Their designs are not necessarily Christmas, but with a Christmas sentiment, it easily becomes so.  Look at your supplies to see if you can turn any of them into Christmas or Winter Holiday.
