Here is a fun idea for the avocado image from the Taco Fiesta stamp set. Add a mound of Fine Tip Glue on the pit. It will dry clear to give it a rounded, full appearance like a real pit. Too fun!

I’m loving this avocado from the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set. I added Fine Tip Glue to the center to make the pit rounded and more realistic. Visit my 2/14/23 blog post for more photos and details AND for links to the products I used. Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com

Notice the embossed Crumb Cake cardstock? I used a new embossing folder that will be available come March 1st. And I love how it coordinates so well with the avocado image. (Click here and scroll down to learn more about this and other products that will debut in the Online Exclusives.)

I made a bunch of these cards for those on my team with birthdays coming up. Here are details…

Steps

  • Add a faint amount of Pear Pizzazz ink with a Blending Brush to the Basic White card base.
  • Stamp the sentiment and avocado images with Evening Evergreen ink. (Stamp the inside sentiment and image, too.) Color the extra one stamped on the scrap white with the Light Old Olive Blends Marker, Light Crumb Cake Blends Marker, and the Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Write Marker.
  • After embossing the Crumb Cake cardstock, add it to the Evening Evergreen strip, and then add that to the card base 1-1/4″ from the bottom while tucking the scalloped oval into position. Add the sentiment oval with Dimensionals. Then wrap the ribbon around and tie it in a knot with the knot positioned just under the middle of the sentiment oval.
  • Trim the ends of the ribbon, add the extra avocado, add the sequins, add the Fine Tip Glue to the pit, and set aside to dry.

Luke had an eventful weekend. His turned 16 years old on the 7th.

Happy 16th birthday Luke! - Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! ≥www.stampyourartout.com

We went out to dinner that evening at a local fancy restaurant called Kendall’s. On Friday Luke had a few friends over for movies, pizza, cake, and a sleepover. And then on Saturday evening, he went out to dinner with a bunch of his friends then to a formal “Sno Daze” Dance at his high school. (I volunteered and worked the concessions. How fun it was to see all these young men and women dressed in their best.)
