For this card I started by die cutting the largest arch from the Nested A2 Arches die set into my A2 card base, sliding the die up slightly so it would not cut all the way through the top fold, giving the card that arched look, then die cut the same arch from ivory cardstock and glued it to the front of the card base.
I worked my way down through the die set, cutting the green gingham paper from the Holly Lane paper pad for the middle arch layer and a deep red pattern from the same pad for the next size down, then built the front door from the Holly Lane die set using ivory cardstock and pink Holly Lane paper, adding Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the windows for a blue glass effect, Kitsch Flamingo to the edges of the pink door pieces for depth, and Tea Dye around the edges of the main ivory door backing before assembling everything and gluing the finished door to the bottom center of the red arch panel.

I stamped the potted mini trees from the Festive Door stamp set using Iced Out Stellar Ink for the fill and Shady Lane VersaFine Clair for the outlines onto ivory cardstock, stamped the pots in Tea Dye onto pink Holly Lane paper, cut everything out with the coordinating dies, and popped each tree up on either side of the door with foam adhesive before gluing the whole red arch scene to the center of the card base. I rubbed on a little bow from the Holly Lane rub on transfers onto pink paper and fussy cut it out to add right under the door window, then rubbed on a floral design onto ivory cardstock and fussy cut that out to sit above the door like a little garland.
I finished by die cutting the Happiest Holidays sentiment from the Happiest Holidays die set using ivory for the shadow, red for Happiest, and pink for Holidays, assembled the layered sentiment and placed it above the garland at the top of the card, then added Pixie Glitter Pops of Color to the trees for a little holiday sparkle!
