  I enjoyed cropping out bits of four
different stamps from the Embrace Life stamp set.  Very "artsy boopy."  Stampin' Up!'s Square
Punches layer with precision in a snap. 
 Ever get those frustrating little black flakes when you emboss with Black Embossing Powder?  I
prefer to use Basic Black Craft Ink (it's stickier than Classic Ink) and Clear Embossing Powder. 
Any little Clear Powder "stragglers" will be essentially undetectable when heat embossed.  This was
originally a tip from one of my readers.  Thanks!
