I don't think I've ever actually bought a card kit so...
Seaside Holiday greetings isn't my style but I know there's a demand for warmer weather Christmas so good for Photoplay
Holly & Ivy is the one I would buy if I were buying - I prefer the traditional colours and icons
Sugar Plum Christmas is too pastel for my liking but again - I know there's demand for that
Overall, I'm unlikely to buy any of them but I'm pleased to see the variety

I only make very simple cards, so I don't need any of those base card kits, but I will say that several of them look pretty fun. And while I'm not personally looking to buy any right now, I do appreciate stamp sets with multiple words/greetings/sentiments, or in the one case, something like "Merry Christmas" in 3 different fonts. If I was making my own cards for the holidays, I would like having the ability to get 3 different fonts in one package like that. Seaside Holiday: This is a kind of mini-kit I can really appreciate, even if I don't need it right now. At first glance it seems very specifically themed, but as I look at it a bit, I see several papers & elements do not include anything beachy. And at least a few stickers are beachy without being Christmasy. Plus when I looked closely I realized the paper that says Hawaii is actually the lyrics to Mele Kalikimaka, which I have listened to in the snowy NE every year of my life.  Sugar Plum Christmas: Different colors, which I like, even if I wouldn't look to use them. The fact that it's a card kit I think might make the colors workable for more people, though. Those colors might not work for you to scrap with, but if you make cards and you love unique colors being used for the holidays, here you go. Holly & Ivy: Very traditional, but I do like it, and depending on exactly what the kit includes (I'm on a desktop computer so I can't zoom in.) I might be interested even for non-card making projects. |

The snow/ho ho ho/joy stamps are whimsical and cute, and the jolly stamp seems pretty useful even though I don't imagine I'll purchase either.
I glossed right over the traditional colours and images of the Holly & Ivy card kit, but I think the Sugarplum cards are cute. The Seaside Holiday collection is not really my thing.

Seaside holiday (for the moment) is my favourite of the Christmas releases to date. I’m stash busting this year for dd but will keep it in mind for older layouts of the kids at the beach at Christmas etc

I won’t be purchasing any of these. Just not my style.

I like the stamp sets in the Holiday collection and may get them for the inside of my cards.

Seaside Holiday is good because the Australian and NZ scrappers keep asking for warm Christmas stuff. I just wish it wasn't so Hawaii/palm tree heavy.

The nutcracker dies are fun - don't often see "cute" ones, they usually have serious faces.
