It’s free PDF Monday with a fun card and some info about why blends top my A-list of stamping tools!
Did you know it’s National Avocado Day? Yup…guess I’ll be having some guac for dinner tonight!!
If you’re into avocados, here’s a great bday card you can make with my free PDF tutorial you can download below.

Cute right? The little faces in the Taco Fiesta stamps add so much fun personality!
Even if you don’t have the Taco Fiesta stamps, take a look through YOUR stamps and see what cute stamps you DO have. Little critters, Hallowe’en ghosts & goblins, presents, hearts. Just about anything will fashion up a design you’ll love to give away.
Part of the charm are the bright colours backed with Basic Black and White for high contrast. Try and mix up your own colour combos!

Why Blends Top My A-List of Stamping Tools
Now you probably noticed the colourful shading on our ‘avos’. They’re all coloured with our Stampin’ Blends in many different shades.
Here are the top reasons I love these markers for colouring in images:
- You can achieve deep, saturated colour quickly.
- They really do um…BLEND perfectly. One colour into the next, like on the avocado pits and little yellow bowl.
- How quickly they dry!
- Ability to mix and match your colours. (for example, I have the Light Pumpkin Pie on the Light and Dark Lemon Lolly for the bowl our gal avocado is sitting in.
- They’re available in 45 colours (current a of today’s date) plus a bunch of neutral/browns so they pair perfectly with our exclusive colours.
If you haven’t tried these fab colouring tools yet, it just might be time to try!
Happy Crafting!
