Hi friends! Happy Sunday! We’re delighted to share (in case you missed it!) that the SUPER popular Vault Funky Floral Wreath Tim Holtz Sizzix die set is now back in stock!! What better time to welcome back special guest Cheiron Brandon with a gorgeous card using this great die set! Be sure to read on for all the details and enjoy!

Hi there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron here with another Tim Holtz tutorial. This month I am using one of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix from the Vault dies, Vault Funky Floral Wreath and combing it with some lovely Sizzix textured cardstock in all the colors of spring to create a beautiful birthday card. I also used my Sizzix Shaping Kit, which has a solid foam pad and shaper tools to give your flowers that little something extra and make them really come to life. 

I started by cutting out the wreath from the Vault Funky Floral Wreath from Distress Kraft Heavystock, then also cut another one from the Simon Says Stamp Color Blend cardstock. I adhered my wreath pieces to a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock cut to 3 ¾ x 5, letting them hang over the edge slightly. Once they were dry I turned my paper over and trimmed off the excess part of the wreath that was hanging over. I cut the florals from the die set from the Sizzix Cardstock. I love the texture it has.

Once I got all of my florals cut out, I used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to make my flowers more dimensional. You simply take your flower and put it on the mat that comes with the kit and use the ball end of the tool and make small circles starting from the inside of your flower (best to start with a smaller side of the tool and then work bigger). After I added dimension to the flowers, I adhered them to the wreath using Distress Collage Medium. 

Once my flowers were dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Crazy Talk Stamps then added it to the panel with foam dots. When that was completed, I added the entire panel to an A2 card base.  I hope you enjoyed this fun wreath of spring flowers; I do love the look the shaping kit gives to them!
