When the Stampin’ Up! January to April Catalogue came out, I just had to have the Taco Fiesta stamp set. First of all, the images are super cute!!  There are little face stamps you can add to the stamped images like the moustache and eyes that I added to this cactus card.  See a video on how I made this card here.

• I also stamped the hat on a post-it note and cut it out to create a “mask”.
• Lay the cutout mask on top of the stamped hat and then stamp the cactus over top of it. Now it looks like the hat is on the cactus!
• I coloured the image with the Stampin’ Up! Blends markers (see the list of colours below). I also used the
