Santa is coming down the Chimney !!!

Hello Ai fans !!
Today’s card is a front and back Santa  sku # U1792  , I made a chimney for him to slide down and leave gifts for the good girl in my house : )
I used the Tim Holtz brick embossing folder to create my chimney  cut 2 1 1/2″ by 4 1/4″ strips in cream color card stock , emboss and ink with Tim Holtz fired brick ink , add a chimney top in gray 3/4″ by 4 1/2″ cut two inside card and out side card , use MS drippy goo punch and white glitter paper to make icicles , Stamp and fussy cut your Santa image  , I colored him with colored pencils and blended with gamsol , I used zig 2way glue and diamond glitter on fur trim for beard and hat pom I used liquid applique and heat  gun to puff up , glue front and back together and glue to front with Santa looking in , when you open card you will see other side of Santa.
inside my card I die cut pine branches  , and used SU ornament stamps and fussy cut , I stamped them in SU real red ink and clear star glitter pen  and fussy cut them out , I added sheer white bows to ornaments , I used TH picket fence whir marker for snow on my branches and the zig glue and diamond glitter , the back ground is SU bashful blue inked around edges and then from my Winter Penguins set SKU # CS3217  , I used snow flakes to stamp background and the sentiment is from the set too .
I love how this turned out  , it was so much fun trying something new.
SUPPLIES : Santa ( F&B ) sku # U1792 , Winter Penguins sku # CS3217 , TH brick folder , TH fired brick ink , SU bashful blue ink , SU real red ink , prisma colored pencils and gamsol and paper stumps , MS drippy goo punch , Pine branch die ( www.mariannedesign.nt ) , sheer ribbon , clear star glitter pen , TH picket fence marker , diamond ultra fine glitter , zig 2way glue pen

I have a tip to share today ,when using dies with lots of cuts I used a sheet of wax paper between the die and card stock , this waxes the die to cut come right out  , this works awesome hope you try it
