• A5: combine with a larger sentiment, patterned papers or additional festive embellishments.
• Square cards: position Santa centrally or offset him beside your greeting.

Perfect For

• Handmade Christmas cards.
• Layered Father Christmas toppers.
• Festive gift tags and gift bag decorations.
• Christmas scrapbook pages.
• Paper-pieced designs in traditional or alternative festive colours.

Description

Build your own Father Christmas topper by combining coloured cardstock with the separate facial and hat elements. A red hat, white beard and contrasting face create a traditional Santa, while patterned or glitter cardstock offers a different festive finish.

The moustache and beard give the face its distinctive shape, with embossed-effect detailing adding interest to the beard. Assemble the pieces with suitable craft adhesive, then add the completed Santa to your card, tag or scrapbook layout.

Please Note

The overall die-set measurement is taken from the outer cutting edges; individual finished cuts will be slightly smaller than their corresponding dies. The finished Santa measurement is approximate and depends on how the pieces are arranged.

The dies are supplied joined by small metal connectors. Carefully separate them using suitable craft pliers or metal snips, gently wriggling or twisting the connectors where needed. Trim any remaining sharp connection points with suitable fine snips.

A compatible die-cutting machine is required. To bring out the embossed detail, follow your machine manufacturer's recommended embossing sandwich and use an appropriate embossing mat where required.

This listing is for the metal dies only. The assembled cardstock Santa shown in the photographs is an example and is not included.
