Technique Tuesday
Today's technique is using your Crop-a-Dile to dry emboss on your cards!
Can you see my 6 little dots on the bottom of my card?
I used my Crop-a-Dile to make them!
First take your Mat Pack to make a small mark where you want to
dry emboss. Next take your Crop-a-Dile and use the top part
that you set your Eyelets with and Place on your marks
and squeeze. There you go all done!! Super Easy!!
Have a Happy Stamping Day!!
Card Recipe
Stamp Set: True Friend, Stem Sayings
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava, DSPaper Afternoon Tea
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava
Accessories: Silver Brad, Crop-a Dile, Scalloped Punch

Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!
I also used the Felt Flowers as an added bonus to this adorable card!
