Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa's Wishes
Santa Claus is Coming To Town!
Welcome back and Nancy, here. Merry Christmas and hope you will have a wonderful holiday with family and friends this weekend.
I needed a card with Santa and feel in love with this Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa's Wishes Colorize Thinlits die set. Putting all the layers together will end up into an adorable Santa that you can use in so may projects and your little ones will love it. 
Santa's Wishes Assembling:
I like cutting the pieces one at a time rather than cut all of the pieces at once since it is very easy to have these tiny pieces get lost. The beard has three die cut layers inaddition to adding on the very tiny mustache. I inked the top of the beard with Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide before assembling and then add the NUVO Clear glitter paste to the top of the beard and eye brows after the Santa was assembled. This gives the completed appearance of a 3D vintage look and the clear glitter paste gives this Santa the Christmas dimensions and glow for a Christmas card. Santa needed gold rimmed glasses so I cut the glasses with gold metallic cardstock.
Putting this Sizzix 3D Colorlit die set of Santa is fairly easy and Sizzix has a step-by-step video. Also, I used package image as a guide for putting it all together.
I cut out a 5 x 7 inch patterned paper and adhere with Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced Glue to the base of the card and then centered the front to it.
- Hat: Tried different ways but liked the top layer sponged with Ranger Lumberjack Plaid and then cut out. The other two layers were a Deep Berry cardstock and a vivid Red cardstock.
- Holly Leaves: Olive and sage green cardstock or used two green inked white cardstock and then cut each out and assemble.
- Holly Berries: NUVO drops
- Face: White cardstock and inked with Copic Markers E11 and then cut out.
- Cheeks and Nose: White cardstock inked with Copic Markers R20 and then cut out.
- Beard and Hat Trim: White cardstock with sponged edges of Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide, assemble the entire Santa and topped with NUVO Clear Glitter paste
- Eyes: Black Cardstock
The card measures 5" x 7". Assembled and glued with Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced Glue
1. I liked using the shimmer white cardstock. Cut out a 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" white cardstock and spray lightly behind the cardstock. Place the embossing folder on top and run through the Sizzix Big Shot machine.
2. Place the embossing folder on the bottom and only run through the Sizzix Big Shot machine half way through the cardstock. This will emboss the other side of the paper without flatening the other side.
3. Brush lightly Ranger Peeled Paint and Ranger Pine Needle Distress Oxide inks to the raised side of the branches as well as brush the edges of the white cardstock.
I hope you enjoyed learning how this Santa Tag came to life. I can't wait to see what you create and share using the Santa's Wish Colorized die set.
Supplies:
Ranger Peeled Paint Distress Oxide
