To start this card I picked out the paper I wanted to use for my background from the Christmas Party Paper Pad and the green glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment.  I then used the Card Layout 4 Die to cut out the patterned paper and green glitter border. 

Next, I stamped this adorable image from Newton's Christmas Tree Stamp Set.  I colored the image with copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating die set.

I then used the small tag die from the Frames and Tags Die Set to cut out a piece of red cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Christmas Tree Stamp Set, onto the tag and white heat embossed. 

I assembled my card using red cardstock for the base and popped up the images and sentiment tag with foam tape for some dimension!
