I live in the Midwest, so 'Holiday' means (Hopefully) Snow, and Evergreens and Christmas Carols!
I had fun with the Winter Village Scene die. I took 2" double sided Scor-Tape, applied it to white cardstock and cut the die out. I placed the die down onto the side the tape was applied to. After you run the die through your machine, the cut out portions stay in their places. (Clarify-the cut out pieces do not fall out of the frame of the die like they do if you use cardstock without the Scor-Tape applied). I removed only the frame and added Gold Glitter.
Whoops- I had one section where the top layer came off where I did not want it off when I removed the outer edge- so I just gingerly removed the gold glitter that stuck to the adhesive in that section with my pointy tool.
Next, I removed all of the small sections left on the die with the pointy tool, and applied Micro Fine glitter. I colored all of the sections in with Copic markers.
After I colored the die in, I decided to take a picture of the back- just to show what it looks like.
Here are the supplies I used for the card:
