To start this card I picked out the patterned papers I wanted to use from the Christmas Party Paper Pad.  I die cut a piece of red cardstock using the large scalloped rectangle die from the A7 Frames and Banners Die Set.  I cut the green patterned paper with the largest tag die from the Essential Tags Die Set.  I then cut the holly patterned paper to 2 1/4 inches wide and used the large scalloped rectangle die again from the A7 Frames and Banners Die Set to cut the outside edges. 

I stamped this super cute image from the Holiday Post Stamp Set. I colored it with copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I cut out a piece of white cardstock for the sentiment using the small banner die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Holiday Post Stamp Set, in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!  

I assembled my card according to the sketch using green cardstock for the base, adding a red and white bow to the tag, and popping up the image with foam tape for some dimension!
