Here are a couple cards I made tonight. I love the Hippie Snowchick from Amuse! I like it framed by the Label classic stamp from Stampin' Up, but again, wasn't sure where to go with it. 
I decided to use the colours of the flowers in her hair to "frame" the frame. It's not the usual Christmas colours but I like that.
My Dad wanted a "religious" type Christmas card to send a few people and thought it would be a good time to use my Amuse Bethlehem stamp. I bought it last year and although I must have seen a card made with it, I didn't know what to do. I used a tiny Amuse creative candy twinkle sticker star above the stable to add a little something. I also used pop dots on the matted design to add some dimension.If you have any thoughts on these cards I'd appreciate the feedback. THANKS!
Stamps by Amuse.

I love that Hippy Snowchick! The blue is a bit bright on the background though - can you tone it down with some stamped snowflakes? Or try using coloured cardstock for the label layer, and no mat behind it? Did you hand cut the label out?
I think for both cards, you need some sort of small image down by the sentiment, either at the start or end. Like a snowflake or ornament or (for the Bethlehem card) a star. You could also emboss the sentiments, to make them stand out more.
Wow...you have been busy!!
So the outline is a stamp? LOVE that...looks like the top note die...
Check out Julie's blog, she used the Hippy snowchick too!
