Directions:
- First make your card. I went with a regular rectangle card shape. You just need to make sure your cupcake liner will fit to the front of the card.
- Go ahead and make a smaller piece {mine was pink} to add to the card front and make it pop. Adhere it in place.
- Now you are ready for the “avocado” part. Grab your green cupcake liner and flatten it out with your fingers.
- Take your scissors and cut out what I would call a “bowling pin” shape from it. You want the bottom to be slightly larger than the top, to look like the inside of an avocado.
- Put some glue on the back of your flattened cupcake liner piece and glue it onto some brown cardstock paper.
- If the edges are sticking up, add more glue so it really sticks.
- Now take the scissors and trim around it, leaving a slight rim, to really make it look like an avocado cut in half.
- Once you have that shape, go ahead and glue that to your card.
- Next up – the embellishments. Grab the tan cardstock.
- Cut out a circle for the “pit.”
- Go ahead and glue that to the cardstock.
- Now take your black marker and draw on a simple mouth shape.
- Finally, take the wiggle eyes and secure those in place.
- Add other embellishments if desired.
- BRAVO-CADO! You are done! Now set aside your cupcake liner avocado card masterpiece to let it dry completely before gifting them away!
