What is diamond glaze? sorry! I use tape, dots, foam, little sticky squares etc bit worried about glue sticks as never really think they stick that well - are your things that you stick fine with stick glue PaP?

its a clear glue but quite hard to get! I get mins on the internet but it lasts ages plus you can use it to clear glaze letters etc - see the green ones I did on the cj I just sent for an example!!

Sea diamond glaze is basically a strong runny glue ~ see here. I always use glue stick for main papers etc and all my cards are made with glue sticks/dst. I have had no problems with it if, and its a big if, you buy the more expensive stuff. The £1 shop/own brands wont work ~ been there done that. I now only buy pritt stick 6*10g in work for £1.99 they last me about 2 weeks but depends on how many cards i make etc etc.

oooh I like it! Just had to run and look, before putting it back in the bag and envelope! So scared of something happening to the CJs! Is it expensive?

Why don't you like it PaP?

Sea78

Still haven't been able to use my new dymo on any LOs yet!

I dont get on with any running glues. I end up making a huge mess and ruining anything i am doing. When i made the covers for my cj i had to use pva glue and i was forever running back and forward to wash my hands. Even with a tip as small as the d/g i still get it everywhere. Prefer to be safe than sorry. I do miss it though as i cant glaze some embellies i like.

Yup it does make a mess but I like the glazed effect & rarely use pritt (dont think I even have any!) as found that LO would fall off over time so prefer doube sided tape for piccies etc, also use glue dots sometimes but found that I often glued my fingers!! It does take practice but I've been doing CJ's for a few years now...mind you pap yours is beautiful!

oooh this is my first CJ - can't you tell lol!! Really enjoying the whole thing actually - finding this one tricky for inspiration! Sure i'll find some though Think I might need to tidy before I take photos though.

it's my first cj as well sea.
I mostly use double sided tape or sticky dots. I've used my sticky glue for the first time recently as i ran out of tape. argh!
