I noticed before you use bazzil paper with the texture. A long time ago I used to use a lot of that but now there’s so many ways to add texture I don’t use it, but I loved seeing some of your cardstock! The beautiful colors of enamel dots that you sell are so pretty. They are not the usual you find here. Altenew had a sale on Enamel dots very recently. I think 8-10 packages for $20 USD. So I bought those as well as what I got from your store. My future is very uncertain with needing another car so I can’t imagine ever buying again. But I must get a few things and the best mom set. How I cannot wait to have time to use all your beautiful die’s and stencils! I’m so excited! I love every piece I have! You really are an amazing woman in so many ways! God bless you! 🙏🏻❤️ thank you for sharing your beautiful visions and for selling such fantastic things in your store!

omgosh Zsoka, your bird card is a labour of love ! Soooo many you've made and this card is AMAZING! The flower heart card too, WOW. Just the amount of cutting you did to make the flowers and leaves. That's is dedication to your creative vision. I think there should only be the two smallest enamel dots too. I never use the big ones either. 💗💗 K

[@ZsokaMarko]

Not even on scrapbook layout? On those I did use the large ones too but less than the others for sure. Yeah, cut files are surely quicker hahaha! But they don't create the beautiful edges I'm so obsessed with! X

[@ZsokaMarko]

Awww thanks so much! Oh I'm sure we all forget things, it was just funny that it happened right after I scolded my kid for always forgetting (or losing) sth! He now lost his Apple pen in his room. We don't even have to leave the house for him to lose sth :D We already turned his room upside down but no luck. Some App that's picking up the bluetooth signal of the pen is showing it in his room, too bad it can't locate it exactly :D

I just can’t tell you how good it is to hear you laugh! The time with family was worth leaving the iPad behind. I sent you an email this morning as I first woke up. I don’t even remember everything I said but it was an emotional email. I want to apologize if it was too much about me and certain life things or was not upbeat as I try to be. Without saying too much here, I feel your pain and it has also been difficult for me with the car accident. So I am so very sorry if it left you feeling low. I meant to show you that you are amazing and that I am so far away, but in my heart and spirit I am there with you. So again, sorry if it was kind of too deep.

[@maryanneborders9602]

Wonderful cards ! (for the problem with design that comes when you start gluing things down - have you tried using the "Press and Seal" product ? It keeps everything in place so you can glue it down all at once ! )

[@ZsokaMarko]

No, we don't have it here! But I'm not sure I would like it for a reason I might not be able to describe well: let's take the floral card as an example, I arrange everything as I want them, then put Press N Seal on top, turn it around and now I'm supposed to add glue right? But pieces are layered onto each other, often more than two and I prefer adding glue to just specific parts of each die cut. For example, mostly to the middle of a flower or the bottom end of a branch - so I have movement and dimension. So my fear is, this would not work with Press N Seal. It would be useful for designs where you have no overlap. In my opinion anyway!

[@hilaryliffen8425]

Your makes are always so beautiful. Have you tried GLAD press n’ seal for placing over the die cuts - it is slightly tacky and picks all of them up at once, you then glue and return them to the card in one go, or in stages if there are multiple layers, and the pieces stay in the place you wanted the first time! Sorry for such a bad explanation but it’s a remarkable product - I saw someone on a KZbin video use it first!

[@michelleadamchak1330]

This method works so well, it's fantastic at holding things in place until they can be glued.
