Today, the following members of the Avocado Arts Pit Crew are inspiring you with more projects made with the February Stamp Set, Wishes and Kind Thoughts:

I'm not sure why I chose to make a sympathy card since they are ones that I typically avoid and hope never to have a reason to make. However, I did want to show another way to use these fabulous stamps. My card uses the long branch shown at the top of the set in the graphic below. I straightened it on my acrylic block and stamped it several times across the card at different heights. Then I allowed the branch to take on different curves for a few branches in the centre. I went way out of my element for this card and enjoyed playing with my new Big Shot and more of the Spellbinders dies my in-laws gave me for Christmas.
There's so much to love with this new set! If you don't already own any Avocado Arts stamps, I guarantee, you will love them. These sets are a steal at $20 each because you will use every single stamp in so many different ways. However, did you know that Avocado Arts has a Club Membership where you can save more than $3 per stamp set? Click HERE to discover all the money-saving, stamp-loving options!
In case you missed the announcement on the Avocado Arts Facebook Page yesterday, here's the new Borders and Sentiments set that will be releasing soon. Talk about love at first sight!
