  1. Janet Cobb says:

    Tombow is my favorite but my Michael’s store runs out so quickly that I often end up buying Elmers Craft bond at Walmart. Plus I have two Xyron mega runners.

  2. lisa808 says:

    My favorite adhesive is red line tape.

  3. Janice Kullas says:

    Thanks for all the great tips. I’d really like to try the Tombow products.

  4. Agnieszka says:

    I really like my ATG when things must stay put but prefer AC this to that tape runner for my PL.

  5. Jennifer S says:

    I still like glue dots, but I have started to use the multi matte medium a lot and enjoy this too!

  6. Carolyn Fackler says:

    I use both the Tombow tape runner and the Ranger Mono Adhesive.

  7. DawnBarbie says:

    I just love scor tape! I found stick it works great for fun foam to make sticky imbellishments

  8. Maria says:

    The ATG gun replaced double stick tape years ago in my studio nook.

  9. Becky Johnson says:

    I have two ATG guns I use regularly.

  10. elliottne says:

    I love the Tombow products, glue & tape runner. I also love the Ranger Multi Matte Medium.

  11. Patti B. says:

    I am really enjoying watching these videos. I learn something every time. Thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win awesome products.

  12. Debbie Wicklund says:

    I use the Tombow multi liquid glue. You can put it on small pieces and when you lay your piece down, if it needs to be moved, you have time before it dries.

  13. Avra says:

    I use a variety of adhesives – atg gun, Duck tape runner, Zig glue pens, foam dots, Scotch Quick Dry, …I recently bought some Multi Medium Matte to try, and some Tomboy tape runners when they had their 50% off sale on Cyber Monday!

  14. Anja E. says:

    I love the Multi Medium Matte. It’s just great for all kinds of embellishments.

  15. Robin says:

    Another wonderful video, Jennifer. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  16. Liza says:

    Love my ATG for multi-card products, but for onesies and twosies I reach out constantly for my 3M double sided tape and tombow products. Always glad to hear your favorites.

  17. Cyndee says:

    I like scor-tape, especially the 1/4 and the one inch size.

  18. Linda Partch says:

    Love love love your helpful advice. I am also an ATG user and love it. Love that I never have to worry about my cards coming apart and I love the low cost to using it with ordering the tape rolls online. I help all of our card club to save money by sharing in a tape buy once a year. With 36 yards per roll, we can afford to be liberal with it. I however haven’t tried your advised glue. Love the idea that it dries to a matt finish. I will have to give it a try. Thanks again for what you do, I hate buying only to find that I DON’T like something and it gets thrown away.

  19. Yvonne says:

    Thanks for another great video. Have been looking for a easy to use tape runner and will give the Tombow a try. I love Tim Holtz watercolor paper – makes water colors pop.

  20. Jane McGill says:

    I have never noticed the pink tombow runner before but now I will be looking for it. I use a LOT of double sided tape but also like the tombow adhesive.

  21. sandie says:

    love your swatches. lots of good info in this series.

  22. Laura says:

    I really like the Ranger Multi, Medium Matte adhesive and tear tape.

  23. Karen Lai says:

    My favourite adhesive is the scor tape. It’s so strong and I don’t need the scissors.

  24. I love my Tombow Dual Stamp Runner! 🙂

  25. Nikkisha says:

    I love, love, love my atg gun! I only wish the rolls lasted longer.

  26. Katie says:

    I like score tape the most.

  27. Mary Kaye Holmes says:

    Thanks, Jennifer, for all you have shown me to enhance my beginning card, scraping world. I use the Tombow glue regularity. I also use the Tombow runner. They work really well and allow for detail work to be done without a glob and a mess.

  28. jessi1984 says:

    My favorite has been glossy accents. I have used the E6000 but wonder if the Ranger matte would be just as good. Seems like I’ve heard the E6000 could be harmful from the fumes.

  29. Denise says:

    I use multi medium matte on every card. I put it in a fine line bottle. I also use stick it for intricate die cuts.

  30. jan metcalf says:

    Hadn’t heard of embossable window plastic before! I do use score tape for many projects, and have an industrial dispenser which makes using the tape a snap, especially with a big project like my daughter’s wedding!

  31. Pam Hammarlund says:

    I have been using Craft Companion this Christmas season for my cards. They are multi-layer cards, and I think the adhesive is a little stronger than my handy, go-to adhesive Tombow stamp runner. However, the Craft Companion is not refillable. Boo. And, the adhesive gets all gunk-ed up and you cannot get the gunk out of the gears and rollers. So I ended up having to throw it away while there was still tape left on the roll. Double Boo.

  32. Donna Phelan says:

    I love my ATG gun…and Scor Tape….also Tombo Mono Liquid…Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive and my hot glue gun lol

  33. Ronda says:

    I like the score tape, I was going through too many of the tape runners and the score tape is priced better.

  34. Kathy D says:

    I use multiple adhesives – depending on the project. Ranger Multi Medium Matte, X-Press-It double sided tape (like Scor-tape, but from the Copic site) are my most used. I still have an ATG, but it is too big for my hand, and I am having quality issues with the last box of tape rolls I bought (not feeding correctly). Thanks for the opportunity to win the adhesives package – would love to try them!

  35. Dawn Skene says:

    I use Tombow Mono adhesive for most things and the Zig glue pen for small items.

  36. Carol D says:

    I love the Tombow Stamp Runner adhesive, but have had problems with the refills being “stuck” in their packaging. I still use it, but I’m very, very careful in opening the refill packaging now.

  37. NatQuebec says:

    THanks for the video ! With all the products available, we are sometimes lot 😉

  38. Karen Louder says:

    I love the ranger multi medium and tomboy and neenah cardstock as it a wonderful stock to do what ever you use on it. I used to use the zig glue pen but not anymore since they come out with the precision glue tip.

  39. Vonetta B. says:

    Ranger Multi Medium Matte one of my new favorites.

  40. Lisa Smith says:

    Hi Jennifer,

    I like to use the Ranger Matte Medium, two sided score tape, tombow and glue dots too!

    Thank you for the chance to win.

  41. Ellen C says:

    I use the tombow stamp runner adhesive and the multi matte medium.

  42. Thanks for the video Jennifer. I watched all the favorite crafty thing videos from last year and am enjoying them again this year!! I actually use that big Scotch Tape Runner gun you mentioned in your video for my adhesive for the most part. It was awkward at first because of the size, but over time you get used to it. I bought it mostly because I figured it lasts so much longer & might be more cost efficient because I felt like I was going through the small tape runners every other time I sat down to make something! However….I have to say that I thought of going back to a smaller type like in your video. The smaller one I used to use was a tape runner by 3L…I liked it because it stuck like no other & I didn’t have to worry about my cards coming apart. There’s the rub though…once you put it down…you’re not getting it back up without tearing your paper. I like the idea that your runner would allow you to pull it back up and rub it off & since you’ve said it will eventually stick solid, I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the great advice & sorry this is such a long comment!!

  43. Cindy Otto says:

    I use Tombow Multi Adhesive but after seeing your video, I think I’m going to try the Ranger Matte Medium with the special tip! Thanks so much for sharing all your great ideas!

  44. Milli D says:

    I use the Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive; have for years 🙂

  45. Mary Ann Fry says:

    I too, love the Ranger Multi-medium Matte Adhesive. When doing mixed media on canvas, this adhesive will hold anything including metal, cloth, stuff. You name it; it sticks!

  46. howlin says:

    I use an ATG tape runner and gun… I had a picture framing business and used this type of adhesive all the time…love it!

  47. Jennifer T says:

    I still use the big ATG gun. Bulky but works well and sticks well!

  48. Steffi H. says:

    I think, Tombow permanent adhesive is my most favorite adhesive.

  49. Salley says:

    I love your fav things Videos. Now I have a long wish list!

  50. Susan Bednarz says:

    I use a variety of adhesives too. Tombo Mono is my favorite, except when I get over-glue ooze and everything stays sticky! I would like to try the Multi Medium Matt adhesive and the super fine tip!
