Cut it Up Challenge #7

We'd like to see your 3D holiday decorations at Cut it Up.  It's up to you what holiday you would like to create for - just make sure to use a die-cut!

I don't have any New Year's decor, so that is what I decided to create:

I love visiting you when you play along!  You always inspire me greatly!  For this challenge, you are playing for this great prize:
