Hey Christine! I ADORE my Liquid Pearls. I use the White Opal the most, followed by the Pastel Raspberry and Ruby Red (I mix the red into other colors please see my Rosettes tutorial for how). I use the Mint Green for leaves too. I get them at Sweet n Sassy Stamps Store - they are only like $2 there, after my Craft Critique article she sold out but I think she has more on the way. hugs, Suzy

Congrats on your GDT! You are so deserving of this and more, your sweet details and coloring are amazing, and this card is proof of that :) hugs Suzy

I am truly amazed at the beauty of your work and humbled to be on the same team as you!! Your little swimsuit is my favorite - so frilly and fun, and the sun circles are FANTASTIC!! Your first EI project is amazing I can't wait to see more! Welcome to the team! hugs Suzy

Hi Christine! Welcome to the team! Your first card is so lovely I love the soft colors and the layers and details are making my eyes dance with delight :) SO glad to have you as a DT sister :) hugs Suzy

What a fubulous and classy card - the addition of black on a birthday card is so unusual but wow it sure works beautifully! Thank you for another stunner :) hugs Suzy

Hi Deb and thank you so much! I use the Neenah 80lb weight paper (available at SnS Stamps) it is so perfect for Copics AND for printing. Of course it will depend upon your own printer too but I do not like to go below 80 lb. If your printer is finicky with 80 lb paper then you can do what I do when I don't have printer access - I put the image on a memory key and head to staples and just ask them to put it on the thicker paper. It is 80 or 90 lb weight and they have ivory AND white. I dont know what brand it is but it works awesome with Copics. Sometimes I also get the laser color copier even with B&W- it embosses the black ink and looks so good! I think it is the laser that does that lol... Lora - they wear clothes because they have no fur :) It protects from the sun and the wind, it is still in the 50s here with high winds.

Dear Marie in BC, I *do* get those phantom marks when my cutting mat gets old and I actually have a new C plate on the way for this very reason. I usually do not care if I am putting the die cut onto a base, but like here when the die cut IS the base, the back will show cut marks from the plate. You can prevent this by adding scrap or copy paper between the marked up plate and the paper you are cutting. hugs, Suzy

Hi Robb_eeie! I did buy the tan mat but to be honest I rarely use it, and that is only when I run the die cut through *again* to get those emboss marks really deep. You can die cut just fine with the sandwich formula I wrote above :) hugs Suzy

Hi Cindy! I asked Kay, the owner of T&B, your question. Here is her response: Hi We are happy to accept a payment by cheque or money order payee Stamp Galaxy, if she converts the amount into £'s then sends that amount with full mailing details, email address etc that is absolutely fine our address is Tydemans, Tonbridge Road, Ightham, Sevenoaks, Kent TN15 9AS United Kingdon. I can then create an account this end and put it through our system. Alternatively if you go through our system then you can pay using paypal, which converts it into £'s anyway, which is a much quicker method as we don't have to wait to receive cheque, pay in, clear it etc. Kay

Your teacher gifts are so fabulous! I can't wait to see what fabulous stuff you creat for EI - HUGE congrats we are so lucky to have you! hugs, Suzy

Thank you so much for making my gift card holder tutorial of the week Susanna!! Big hugs to you, I have your badge on my site now and will *wear* it proudly :) Suzy
