I did all the die cutting out of glitter cs. I find for die cutting I need to use the lighter weight glitter cs. I have some very heavy stuff that just won't die cut nicely. The blue and green came from Joann's (a craft store in the US), the white is SU's Dazzling Diamonds cs, and the gold is Tim Holtz's adhesive backed glitter paper.
I die cut all my pieces, glued the ornament together, punched a tiny hole in the top to thread some gold cord through, die cut another of the base ornament out of fun foam to give it dimension, and attached to ornament to the die cut pine bough. Then glued all the pieces to the top layer of white shimmer cs and finally popped that layer up on the white shimmer card base.

What a gorgeous card, Susan! I have found that JoAnns has lighter weight glitter paper that makes it easier for the die to cut. Love your colors and design!
