I splurged recently and bought the die that coordinated with the pineapple stamp set (gifted to me by Offspring3 last fall).
I stamped the greenery on green cardstock, and cut it out using the pineapple die. Then, I put yellow cardstock into the Provo Craft Textile embossing folder and embossed it. I rubbed tan ink over the raised areas, and cut it using the pineapple die. I guesstimated where the fruit/foliage line would be, and cut with scissors.

Thanks, Gillian! I was so excited when that “emboss the pineapple” light bulb went off in my head.
