- Hi! I knew I had to get this die as soon as I saw it. It's got a child like appearance with lots of realistic details. With Tim Holtz's Colorize series, you can make appear to have such depth. I found it a bit intimidating at first, but show you how I started grouping up his dies to make color selection and construction easy. Also, I discuss my intent of storing these for easy use in the future.

Thanks for sharing. I had watched the Sizzix video of how this die set is put together but, they are always a bit robotic. So much better to see all of the different colour options explained. Your tips are very down-to-earth and practical. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you so much. I bought this last year (too late for Christmas) but I am enjoying it so much, thanks to your detailed instructions. I don't think I would have figured it out without your video. You have made this so easy. Once you explained it, it made so much sense.
You are so welcome! It truly made my day to receive your kind words. May you make lots of little Harvey's now and enjoy them this season. :)
Thank you so very much for breaking down all of Harvey's pieces and parts!
Thanks for explaining this die set. It's very helpful! The things you called "spats" for the shoulders are actually called epaulets. Spats are for shoes. Happy holidays!
As you can see, I’m a little late making Harvey. But, your Harvey’s are beautiful, & your video is the best & easiest to follow when it comes to what get cut with what & how he gets assembled. Thank you & Happy New Year.
Glad I watched this before cutting everything out. Thanks for showing us all these tricks
So happy I could help! Hoping you had some fun with creating your's! Thanks for watching!
I watched Tim's live on Saturday and he considers what I think looks like a mouth, to be the nose of Harvey. I ordered this die and am so looking forward to making many of them. Thanks for the informative video!
Thanks for watching. After watching his video and he said that was a nose, I was like YIKES! Weirdest looking nose yet. LOL Thanks for the kind words. Hope you make lots of lovely Harvey projects!
Wow!!! Thank you so much!! I love the die set but was a little overwhelmed on how to process it. Your tips are amazing. ❤
The one mouth he using as a nose. That is why the mustache is below. I love your trays. I use Styrofoam meat trays for the same purpose. You did a great job of explaining the uses of the dies. Sizzix has a video on their web site fo all Colorize dies and how to use them. Just saying.
Thanks for sharing and for watching. I appreciate all the info. May you make lots of goodies with this season's release!
I appreciate your demonstration.
Thanks for watching. Hope it was helpful or inspiring.
Thank you for this video. I am sure it will save me time in figuring out how to cut and assemble Harvey. I love your color choices!
Thank you for your awesome video, I just received this set 😉😉as a gift last night. I get home from the dentist I’m going to get on it. Thank you so much really enjoyed it great video
Happy to hear you got this great set too! May you have fun with it and I'd love to see what you create. Thanks for your kind words too.
Very Nice video!
Really helpful in showing all the parts
So very helpful!
So happy it was helpful. This set was too cute to not want to get others to share in creating him. thanks for your kind words.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve marked my die’s and think your advice will really help put them together.
Great, fun video. Thanks for the demo of this somewhat complex process!
Thank you. I got the die set and did not understand them as well as you do. Your info was extremely helpful.
Brilliant. Thank you xxx
Wow. Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
Very cute. Great tutorial & explaining the dies. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching my video. Happy I could be of assistance.
Excellent tutorial 🤩😍! Thanks for sharing ! 😃💚💂♂️🌹
This is very helpful. I got my Sharpie out and wrote things like "base shirt" and "undershirt" on the backs of some of the pieces. Using colors as labels wasn't working for me! Your toy soldiers match the paper you're using beautifully!
I loved seeing this and u Taking the time to shoe all the details !! I really liked this but really was intimidated!!! Would love to see any you do of his dies !!!
Thanks for your kind words! I know I was intimidated at first. Especially after seeing what his Makers showed off. I appreciate your kind words and hope you make LOTS of little Harveys. :)
Thank you. Very helpful. Love the colors, too.
great video and thanks for the encouragement.
I would love another video with some help again on those small face dies.
love your organization tips with a small multi pieced die.
bravo!!
Thanks for your kind words! I would be happy to do another video. Do you mean the faces for this die or another?
THANK YOU!!! I learned so much!!! I love your nutcracker soldiers a lot!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate them, as well as you watching. May you have a great time with your crafting.
Very helpful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words and watching my video.
I just ordered this die set. Its too cute. Great how to on this die. I liked how you paired your colors to the paper you're working with. great idea will make the choice of color easier, I hope. I subscribed and can't wait to see what else you post.
Thanks for your kind words! I truly hope this helps you with your making of Harvey too. Love to see what you make with him. Please share!
Eppalets probably misspelled are the thing on the shoulder. Spats are on the shoe. Bandoleer? The cross on the front of Harvey.
Not a big deal - but the shoulder pieces on the uniform are epaulets. ; ) Tim is making us learn the parts of a uniform!
LOL Thanks to both of you for providing the proper names. I am truly learning a whole new language with Mr. Holtz. :) Appreciate you both for watching and commenting. Have a great day.
Phew - this is a great help, thank you
Glad it helped! Hope you get to make lots of little Harveys this season! Thanks for watching!
I just ordered this die set, it looks very fiddly but so cute. Your video is very helpful, thanks!
Thanks for your kind words! I truly felt uneasy at first, but it got better after I made my first 1 or two. Love to see what you make!! Please stop back and share.
Wasn’t sure o was going to get but u convinced me I could do it. 💜
Oh! I hope you really enjoy little Harvey. He is so cute. Once I made a couple, I just kept going. Love to see what you make. Please stop back and share. :)
Sizzix has an excellent video - Title - Sizzix: “How to assemble Tim Holtz Colorize Die Harvey” . The video shows piece by piece how to build each one.
You have gained a new subbie with this one. Mine is on the way but I already know this will not see Christmas 2022. I feel like owe you something for this demo. Fantastic job!!! Tfs💜
Wow! Thanks for the awesome words! Harvey is wonderful, even if he waits until 2023 for you. :) I appreciate your comment and subbing. May you have a wonderful week!
Your video was very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your comment and your watching my video.
Great tutorial 😊 I made one and the dies are confusing to me ! You gave me ideas 😊😊 ty
Awesome to hear I could provide you with inspiration. I appreciate the kind words and knowing I could help. May you have a wonderful week.
Thanks for sharing your Harvey construction techniques, they are well thought out and very helpful. Lots more detail on these than what I expected. I’ll probably watch again when putting it together.
So happy that I could help! Hearing from a viewer like you , truly makes my day. I truly appreciate your kind words and knowing that I could be of assistance. May you have lots of beautiful little Harveys to create with this season!
I so want to get this set. I love nutcrackers. I’m so glad I found you doing this tutorial. You answered quite a few questions on putting them together. Thank you for the great tutorial. I feel a lot better now on getting this die and making Harvey’s.
So happy I could be of assistance! I had been wanting to buy a nutcracker die for a long time. None seemed quite right...that is until Harvey. Hope you do make yourself some Harvey's and really enjoy them. He is so cute. Thanks for your kind words and for responding.
I used Harvey this year but only one per card since I sent out 42 cards. I used double sided adhesive on cardstock before cutting so each were stickers. Cut all pieces except eyes n mouth since they tend to stick in the die. I chose to use adhesive backed felt for hat so had to cut black chin pieces separately. For many of the eyes I decided to use black Nuvo drops (took less time) so they had a sparkle. I also use Nuvo drops for animal eyes (learned from Jennifer McQuire years ago. Like your colors you chose. I did blue this yr. Will do greens next and red the last yr.
I’m obsessed with Harvey he’s so cute and I love the color combinations you’ve used ! I’d love to see your card when your done. Thanks for sharing😊
@Pam Litzinger yes me too. I can’t wait to see her finished card! 👍🏼
Thanks! I appreciate your comment and kind words. My finished card should show up in mid November ( I think...I'm trying to schedule ahead due to our family biz and the holidays). May it be up to snuff for the wait. LOL Again, thank you!
Thanks for your comment too! :) Hope it is worth the wait.
I've got to give you a big thank you for this video. I've made 3 soldiers so far, and the experience has been so easy because you did all the hard parts. I'm using the same color scheme as you because I have all the same solid papers. The soldiers are soooo cute. I haven't done the cheeks yet but other than that, I have 3 stunning soldiers.
Hi Kristin! So nice to meet you! These are adorable! I find all the lettering and numbering mind numbing! I cut them all out in watercolor paper and color them, so much easier for me. I love the colors you chose! Looking forward to watching more videos! Big hugs and blessings!
Thanks for the kind words! I thought about doing as you mentioned too. I thought it would look so cute in a watercolor palette, so I would love to see if you do make any of these. May you have a wonderful week!
Very helpful. I received my Harvey die yesterday - and just opened the package and looked at all of those dies... And put them back in the package. Sigh. You have done a great job of helping me better understand how to put him together. Will get those re-purposed muffin tins ready to hold the different parts. Cannot imagine taking on 48 of these guys... WOW! I think I will aim for creating 6 and see how it goes. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Yes, I know exactly what you mean about dumping them out and feeling like, YIKES, What did I get myself into?!?! Hope your 6 little guys come out wonderful!
Your tutorial helps a lot! Thank you very much! Love all your Harveys.
So happy to hear I could be of assistance. Thanks for your kind words. It truly makes my day to hear from viewers like you. :)
Bravo, Girl!! New subdue; how could I not with the meticulous thought and planning in this video - can’t wait to see more! Susan D
Thanks so much! I truly appreciate your kind words, subbing, and commenting. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this. When mines arrives, I feel like I won’t be so overwhelmed, lol! I am so excited to start creating my own. You were so detailed and I screenshot every piece. Thanks again and yours came out beautiful 😍
Thanks for your kind words! I truly hope this helped. Seeing all my little Harveys lined up truly made it all worth while. Hope you have fun playing with your dies! Love to see some. :)
Great info.. You probably wouldn't make these there a little too fitly for me but I thought your video was very good and informative and I have become a new subby look forward to seeing what else you come up with
Thanks for the kind words! Thanks for subbing too. Hopefully you find I can provide you lots of inspiration.
Wow super fiddly but thank you for all the tips! 😊
I ordered this set because of your video. May I ask where you got that Fa La La paper. The colors you chose for those soldiers are lovely. I realize what that paper is now. It's the Recollections paper I couldn't find last year.
:) The Recollections paper is called, Sugar Plum. I think it's older, like 2017-2019 era. I couldn't find one being sold anywhere. I have an upcoming series with this paper and couldn't find one place with it available. Sorry. Hope you make lots of little Harveys and some awesome projects. Have a wonderful season!
Thanks so much, very clear tutorial! You gave me the courage to try him. I had to subscribe, can’t wait to see what’s next. I love that paper who’s is it? Thanks
Thanks for the sub! So happy I could be of assistance. The paper is called Sugar Plum. It is an old Recollections paper pack. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
The shoulder ornaments are called epaulets.
Great video. Very helpful. I do have a question though, do you think the color and #’s on the back are the different shades? Like the shoes the grays being lighter and darker shades of gray. In the end, it doesn’t matter as we can cut it in any color we want.
I just got the die set and am not going to use that face piece. I think it looks like a hole on their forehead. Lol. Other than that, everything looks fairly simple now that you’ve explained things. Thank you! Btw, I’ll cut my own faces on my own, no holes. Lol
I used my markers in the matching shades to colour the edges so the skin tone doesn’t show around the hat, boots and coat.
It’s a great die. I’m having so much fun with it. So very appropriate for the Queens passing. 🇬🇧 My Christmas cards are having Queens guards on them. The nose looks too much like a mouth as it is. So I just use the little piece that drops out and I think it looks a lot better. Noses should stick out not indent. 😂
I totally agree on the nose. :) I've loved what I've seen with Harvey as a Brit. Love to see what your cards look like. Thanks for the comment and watching my video.
Tim said that (I thought of a mouth) is the nose!
Yikes! When he said that, I thought I needed to clean my glasses or something. :)
Lots of tiny pieces. Loved your wreaths though!
This is a soldier and not a nutcracker!

Thanks for watching!
