Video: Favorite Adhesives + Giveaway

I am not a very picky person.

But there is one thing I am very picky about: Adhesives. 🙂

Since I use them more then anything, I want the best. I have tried a lot. A lot. And have narrowed it down to a certain few. I get asked about this a lot, so I decided to do a quick video to show them all in action.

Here are the adhesives I show in the video and like so much:

THIS American Crafts This To That Adhesive – permanent dots – make sure you get the right one. HERE are the refills.

THIS Tombow Stamp Runner. HERE are the refills.

THESE American Crafts Foam Dots, 1/8″ thick.

THESE EK Success 3D (foam) Dots, 1/16″ thick.

THIS Glossy Accents, in big (I recommend) or small bottles.

THIS Multi-Medium Matte.

I hope this helps you pick the best adhesive for you.

And how about a giveaway of ALL of these favorite adhesives? Just leave a comment here by Saturday night at 11:59pmEST telling me your favorite adhesives and I will pick a lucky winner of all 6 adhesives from my own stash. When I find something I love, I gotta share. 🙂

Have a fab day.

    The right adhesive makes a big difference, doesn’t it! I love my ATG714, but haven’t found the right liquid glue. Maybe you’ve found my new favorite?

  2. Sheila H says:

    I don’t have a real favorite, but I do like Zots and Tombo.

  3. JenSchow says:

    I like my tombow tape runner and anything by AC!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  4. Vickie White says:

    I love the Glossy Accents so much! Love the shine and also that it glues!! I’m still in the process of looking for the “perfect” dot runner! Thanks for sharing your favorites! Can’t wait to try them.

  5. Carol says:

    I LOVE multi-medium! LOVE. I also use glossy accents, but I haven’t tried the others, so I am very intrigued. Thanks for the chance to win!

  6. Janet Zeppa says:

    I use my ATG gun the most but also love Glossy Accents.

    I love the eksuccess foam dots, for tape runner, I used the tombow brand (light blue, in colour) Recently, I also trued beacons, it’s a tough glue for everything, just that, it can be a bit messy at times.

    Thks for the chance to win 🙂

  8. Chelsea says:

    Thanks for sharing!! Always good to find and try new adhesives!!

  9. Betty M says:

    Just gotta love all your tips – I never knew to tap the bottle a couple of times before you close it – I always seem to have issues when I got to use it the next time – but now that I have learned your tip about tapping – I hope all my problems are gone. Also love the tip on cutting the square dots on an angle – another new one for me. That is why I love your blog – you just keep giving and giving (tips that is). Thank you so much.

  10. Debbie Baker says:

    Thanks for your fav’s in adhesive’s. I have always used Glossy Accents for things that go in the mail, because I know it will hold. I have tried several tape runners, but never the 2 you mentioned. I will definately give them a try! Thanks for sharing! Ciao db:)

  11. Sue in Grapevine says:

    It really is nice to have 2 thicknesses of foam dots; sometimes it really does matter to get the “look” you had in mind.

  12. Michele says:

    Can’t wait to try these – I LOVE the stamp runner and how you can put the squares down, that’s cool!

    Right now, my ‘go to’ adhesive is Tombow’s Multi-Purpose.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  13. Heidi Myers says:

    Yep, I’m a Glossy Accents gal, too. I’ve been meaning to try the American Crafts adhesives.

  14. Jeanne says:

    ooooooooooooooooooooooo! I’ve only tried 3 of these ….so now?? yep, want them all. please. Thx for the chance to win– I’m so excited–and hey, the one with the most adhesives wins right? I’m out! Gasp! need some ! pretty please?

  15. sandyh says:

    i’ve been using the glue glider pro because i love the little handle. the atg guns are too big and this seemed to do the trick. down sides are that the refills are too darn expensive. now there is another problem…the last few refills have been having a problem with sticking together, so i guess i won’t be buying them again. a few of yours look pretty tempting though!

  16. Julia C says:

    I love glossy accents too! So versatile! Love your work!

  17. Hee Jin R. says:

    Haven’t tried any, but love he chance to try them out!

  18. Alyce Schwenn says:

    I love glossy accents and matte medium. I haven’t tried the tape runners. I use Zip Dry Paper Glue. You can reposition things before it dries and any glue where it doesn’t belong and can be rubbed off.

  19. Kathy Camasso says:

    I’ve been using a lot of This to That adhesive lately too; I’ve always been a Tombow Mono-multi liquid glue gal but now that I found a tape-runner that really sticks, I’m liking it! I like the EK Success dots that you showed too; haven’t had a chance to try the others yet; thanks for the chance to win some!

  20. Ellen Coker says:

    Tombow mono roller is my favorite. Glossy Accents are and EK dot are excellent to have around.

  21. Heather Beasley says:

    I have used almost exclusively the Hermafix tabs. Pretty sticky and I use them to secure my photos on my layouts. Glue Dots is used for everything else.

  22. Sara G. says:

    You can never have too many adhesives! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  23. I really like the This To That adhesive too. I haven’t tried the Tombow one. I also am a fan of Glossy Accents. I really like that you shared this info. It helps me decide what to try. Thanks.

  24. Jill Foster says:

    Great video! Thanks for taking the time to do this! 🙂

  25. Rebecca Thiessen says:

    Thanks for the info. I have always wanted to try glossy accents but have never bought it. Would be great to win it.

  26. heaney says:

    my favourite glue is Glossy Accents..a new revolution to me. It sticks, accents and shines …what a superb product!

  27. Georgette says:

    Your tutorial on adhesives was excellent. I have been making cards for quite a while and had not heard of some of these brands and am glad you showed them with your demo. Thanks so much.

  28. Mary Smith says:

    This was very helpful information. I usually go for whatever is cheapest because I use LOTS of adhesive! I have never tried any of these, so I would love to get the chance. Thanks!

  29. Cindy M. says:

    How Sweet and Generous of you to have this giveaway. I have not used any of these. Have trouble with some of the Adhesives that I use. Would (LOVE) to have these to try. Thank you so much for the chance to win. :0)

  30. Donna says:

    Jennifer – you are so GENEROUS with your creativity, time, enthusiasm, and fun giveaways!

  31. Lisa M says:

    Tim Holtz recommended Pioneer’s glue sticks and I still use ’em for almost everything unless a tape runner is required (where I am still using my Hermies stickpile of dot runner refills) or if I need to pop something (where I use a pop square from a big sheet of assorted sizes of squares! Sorry, I’ve tossed the packaging with the label.) My favorite’s gotta be the Pioneer sticks, regular and extra strong.

  32. Vonda morga says:

    My favorite adhesives are Tombow’s monoadhesive, stampin’ up’s dimensionals ( because you get so many for so little $) and the sticky strip from Papertrey Ink because you can tear it by hand. 🙂

  33. Billie A says:

    I do love the glossy accents but mine cloggs all the time so thinks for the tip on tapping it. I have not tried the runners so that is a great idea and thanks so much. I guess I also did not realize the foam dots came so think. I must be living under a rock. Although most of my buying is online as no real store close by so that could be the problem. Thanks for the video.

  34. MA says:

    Love the Glossy Accents for embellishments. I even used it to fix a ceramic lamp! I’ve been using the Glue Glider Pro, but love the smaller Tombow tape runner. Will have to give the This to That a try..Thanks for the chance to win.

  35. Laurie Crop says:

    now I want to try all of these…there is NOTHING more frustrating than having something fall off of a card that you just spent an hour on!! thanks so much !!!

  36. I love Glossy Accents. It always adds just that right little touch to glamor up my cards. I’ve tried Glue Glidder Pro but out of six rolls I only had one that worked. Very disgusting to say the least! I haven’t tried American Crafts but would sure love to. Thank you for the giveaway.

  37. Barbara A. says:

    Wow—didn’t realize that some adhesive can rub off!!! I’ll have to try out that Tombow stamp runner. I would love to have the chance to win some of those great adhesives you have! Thank you for sharing!
