This one Sizzix stencil will help you create cards for any season or occasion! Here are 6 different seasonal color palettes for you!
Hey, crafty friend! I recently shared the Joy Wreath Christmas card and many of you expressed an interest in seeing some other seasonal color palettes or holidays. So here are 5 additional ideas for you, all in one blog post!
First I'll do a quick tutorial, then I'll list out the supplies used for each version. At the bottom of the list, you'll find a full supply list for all 6 cards you can shop from--there are only a couple of items that are no longer available, but you probably have something similar in your stash!

Tutorial
- Place some smooth white cardstock on to the Sticky Grid of your Sizzix Stencil and Stamp Tool.
- Place the first layer of the A Wreath in Time stencil onto the stencil adapter and attach to the hinges of the Stencil and Stamp Tool. Mask off any areas you don't want ink to go through with some Mint Tape.
- Use your Sizzix Multi-Tool and Blending Head with foam applicator to apply Distress Oxide through the stencil.
- Repeat for the next 3 layers of the stencil.
- Take your stenciled cardstock off the Sticky Grid and trim it to 1/4" smaller than your chosen card size using your Scoring Board and Trimmer Tool. Trim a piece of coordinating cardstock to your chosen card size and adhere the stenciled background to the cardstock.
- Die cut out your chosen sentiment and floral embellishments with your Sidekick. Glue the layers together then glue to your card.
- Add some sparkly gems to your card then attach to a folded card base.
