For my glue dots, I just leave extra paper to cover the dots so that they don't adhere to the inside of the box.

The only time I have problems with this is when someone in a class rips off too much.<BR/><BR/>Aqua Painter - I love mine, but I don't use the SU ones, because I think the brushes are too big. I have one I got at a LSS - I think Michael's carries the same kind. You need to squeeze the widest part of the water reservoir gently until it releases a drop or two. For me, even that is too wet though, so then I wipe on scrap paper to get rid of some of it before painting.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with it.Melody (lacyquilter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17198199947118029741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-27305825100416781522008-01-14T18:24:00.000-06:002008-01-14T18:24:00.000-06:00Love these cards!

If you can't easily squeeze out water then double check that nothing is blocking the water on the inside, make sure your barrel is full, and if that doesn't work... have them replaced. If an item is defective, then you should have no trouble getting your SU! demo to replace it.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861834765047220388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-18535263811699797492008-01-14T14:54:00.000-06:002008-01-14T14:54:00.000-06:00Love your birdcage card, too!

As for the SU! mini glue dots, like others before me said, I leave a few inches of paper to protect unused dots in the box, and take the whole roll out when I want to use them. I find it easier to use the dots "out of the box," and just use the box for storage. I really love your blog (and new banner), and should comment more often to let you know that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-41817017279498630072008-01-14T13:06:00.000-06:002008-01-14T13:06:00.000-06:00Love your cards!I have the same frustration with S...Love your cards!<BR/><BR/>I have the same frustration with SU mini glue dots. And I end up with glue dots on my fingers and everywhere. Therm O Web Zots in one row on a narrow strip are much easier to use and don't waste so much paper. I think SU demos like me need to bring these issues to Stampin' Up's attention. I thought it was just me being a klutz.<BR/><BR/>I have the opposite complaint of the aqua painter - mine gets way too wet. It is hard to get the water to release, then all of a sudden I get a flood of water and it stays too wet. I keep wiping it off on paper toweling, but it is just too wet to get good results. I don't use it much for that reason. It must be quality issues, but by the time I actually used mine it was too late to return it. THere is a Japanese brand -can't remember the name - that I demoed with at rubber stamp conventions that is much better IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Phyllis StricklandPhyllis Stricklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316626487629706306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-13497735262333200742008-01-14T10:54:00.000-06:002008-01-14T10:54:00.000-06:00I {heart} all of your creations too!!! Might just...I {heart} all of your creations too!!! Might just have to try one (or two) out for myself :) As for your questions, I don't have an aquapainter -- not an artist!! However, the glue dot deal is annoying. I just use the first few up then don't tear the paper off -- I keep it as a covering to protect the rest of the glue dots from coming off. I do think they are the best out there (SU!'s that is) so it just takes some unwinding of paper each time I use them. Hope this helps. . .or maybe your tirade will make the higher-ups over at SU! think. . .hmmmm.

Second, always leave enough glue-dotless paper on the roll to go around an extra time thus protecting the glue dots. As for the aquapainter, afraid I am no help there. If I ever have any problems, it is the opposite and that it is too wet so I've learned to handle it gently.

I'll have to give this layout a try...looks like fun!<BR/><BR/>As for the glue dots, just make sure to not tear off the extra inch or two of paper that covers the dots, which should be there with a new box. Once you use a few dots, you'll have some blank paper. Don't tear that off, use it cover up the remaining dots. That make sense?? ;-)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971317642726987703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28130904.post-21701302736028652182008-01-14T09:09:00.000-06:002008-01-14T09:09:00.000-06:00I'm HOPING someone has the answer to the mini glue...I'm HOPING someone has the answer to the mini glue dots question.
