Yes, you can make your own cards without having to use a stamp set unless for just embelishing or adding the greating. Here is a prime example that we demonstrators were given from Stampin Up direct.
This card was made using stencils from Definitely Decorative Catalog 2009.
All you need is the cardstock of your choice, some sponges for the lighter colors, and sponge daubers to make the colors darker.
Stencils: Vintage Ornaments I, Vintage Ornaments II
Stamp Set: Berry Christmas (#116509),
Ink: Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink, Soft Suede Ink., Bermuda Bay Classic Ink
Cardtock: Kraft 8 1/2 x 11, Soft Suede 8 1/2 x 11
