Sending Hugs Fun Fold Card

I was recently a guest designer for Altenew's February 2025 release, and this card features several of the great new products I was given for the release: Build-A-Garden: Peruvian Lily (the floral focal point and the sentiment and coordinating dies), Foil Leaf Background Stencil, Serene Garden 3D Embossing Folder, Whispering Woodland Fresh Dye Ink collection and Enamel Dots. 

To create the card base, I used a cut file I had purchased in the Silhouette Design Store. I sized it up how I wanted it and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo 4. Then I cut pieces of cardstock in white, yellow, and green for the panels and set to work stenciling, stamping, and embossing all the pieces. I decorated the card base with the pieces and then set to work stamping, die cutting, and stenciling the yellow lilies on the front of the card. I also stamped the "sending hugs" sentiment and die cut it using the coordinating dies in the set. 

To finish the card, I die cut the coordinating sentiment die out of black fun foam and adhered the stamped sentiment onto the fun foam before adhering the sentiment to the card and adding 3 enamel dots around the sentiment.
