To start this card I picked out the paper I wanted to use for my background from the Christmas Party Paper Pad.  I then chose the green glitter cardstock from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and die cut the window frames using the A2 Card Layout 2 Die.  

I stamped these adorable images from the Santa Paws Newton Stamp Set.  I colored them all with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I then used the A2 Card Layout 2 Die to cut out the white squares on which I stamped the sentiments.  The sentiments are from the Santa Paws Newton Stamp Set.  I stamped them in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card using green glitter cardstock from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment for the base, and popped up the windows and images with foam tape for some dimension!

To start this card I picked out this gorgeous snowflake paper I wanted to use for my background from the Snow Flurries Paper Pad and cut it out using the large scalloped rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I also chose this beautiful purple glitter paper, that matched perfectly, from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment.  I cut the glitter paper to 1 3/4" wide and used the scalloped rectangle die again to cut the outside edges.

I stamped the absolutely beautiful Snowflake Oval, and sentiment, onto blue cardstock and white heat embossed.  I then used the largest scalloped oval die in the Oval Frames Die Set to cut around the image.  

I assembled my card using blue cardstock for the base and popped up the oval with foam tape for some dimension!  I then added a cute white bow and a few sparkling sequins!
