Today I’m sharing three “Hugs” cards using the brand-new Summer Afternoon Release from Waffle Flower Crafts! This collection is packed with beautiful layering stencils, detailed dies, and versatile sentiments perfect for mixing and matching. I focused on creating a cohesive set of cards with the same color palette—purples, teals, and a touch of sunny yellow—while highlighting different techniques on each design.

For my first card, I used the Butterfly Trio bundle to stamp, stencil, and die cut three colorful butterflies, pairing them with the “Sending Hugs” sentiment over a textured, splattered background. My second (and favorite!) card features the Hibiscus Cluster die and stencil, layered in the same dreamy hues and finished with a dimensional “Hugs” sentiment. And for my third card, I reached for some previously released favorites—the Quilted Petals Stencil and Overlapping Paper Hugs bundle—to create a colorful stenciled background with die-cut butterflies fluttering across the panel.

Each card has its own personality, but together they make such a fun trio of designs. Want to see exactly how they came together? Watch the process video below, where I share step-by-step details, tips for layering stencils, and how I add finishing touches like splatter, shadowing, and dimension.
