    Sookwang tape is my go to adhesive and then I use a bit of glossy accents for the more intricate dies.

  2. Debbie says:

    I use an ATG gun because I won it at a crafting event and like it altho I do struggle with it sometimes. I often like to use a smaller tape runner, usually a different Tombow one, especially when packing to travel to a craft event. As for the liquid, I use Scotch quick dry glue in a bottle with a small gauge tip. I would like to try the Ranger Multi Medium Matt because I sometimes get messy with glue and would like one that doesn’t dry shiny (so that my mistakes won’t show up!). Thanks for the opportunity for such a great giveaway and Merry Christmas!

  3. scrappingrammy says:

    I usually use the ATG but it can be rather cumbersome. Have been wanting to try the adhesive runner by Tombow that you use. Thanks for the chance to win one. I do use the Sookwang tape and multi matte medium. They are great. Thanks for these wonderful videos. I have been using Stampin Up cardstock but have been thinking about using a different brand. This video gave me some ideas as to what to try. Love the Neenah cardstock which I have been using per your suggestion awhile back. Thanks for all that you do.

  5. Jeanne H says:

    I use a lot of different adhesives, but my very favorite is Tombow Mono Dots! It’s getting hard to find…hope they don’t stop making it! Thanks for all your great favorites videos, Jennifer.

  6. Ckneuendorf says:

    I use the old Tombo blue /clear permanent tape runner and have been happy with it. I love the small hand held runners. Have not used the adhesive sheets and they look great for small die cuts & alohabets.

  7. Elaine says:

    Scotch double sided tape mostly, but Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive, too.

  8. Brenda H says:

    I love using the multi medium matte. I like the features of the Tombow Stamp Runner you
    featured in your video. I will definitely be putting that on my list of “things to get”. I make a list
    while watching each one of your favorite videos. They are so informative. Thank you for taking
    the time to share them with us.

  9. Genevieve says:

    Really like Score-pal tape. Will try multi matte medium. Thanks a lot. 🙂

  10. nina m.m. says:

    Hi Jennifer, I use a variety of adhesives, , extreme tape runner, snail tape runner, score tape, and I also have used a” stick it type” sheet. I enjoy your videos. TFS

  11. I usually use double sided tape for paper/card but love the multi medium matte and the super fine tip for all my die cuts and embellishments x x

  12. Julie Brusman says:

    Multi Medium Matte. I love that it dries matte in case some squished out. I also like my Tombow adhesive runner.

  13. Debbie B says:

    Thanks for another great video Jennifer! I use the 3M scotch glue when I want something strong that dries quickly. I do like the simplicity of the Tombow runners though. Have you ever used the double sided score tape for stripes of glitter? Too fun! Thanks for another chance to win some great products.

  14. Allison says:

    I like the Tombow tape runner and Ranger glossy accents, but haven’t tried the multi medium yet.

  15. Ericka S says:

    I love using multi medium mat and especially on small pieces. On the larger pieces I use tombow tape runner.

  16. Kathy L says:

    My favorite is multi medium matte.

  17. barb macaskill says:

    I use many different adhesives. I really love Plus Corporations runners, Tombow adhesives are also awesome! I use Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Xyron, ThermOWeb, Stick It (LOVE), American Crafts adhesives and Heike, SMS, Scor-Tape and Kaisercraft double sided tape. Double sided Foam tape by 3M and Scotch are my go to’s for dimension! Glossy Accents, Ranger multi matte, Tombow and Aleene’s glues are good wet glues/.
    I don’t really have a top favorite because I like different ones for different projects! Sometimes I use many different adhesives on one project!
    Thanks for all of the great videos, recommendations and giveaways!! Have a Happy Holiday and enjoy your precious angels!! <3

  18. Myra says:

    Love Love this information. Thank you so much for sharing. I always learn new tips & techniques as well as introduced to new products or products I have never heard of. Again thanks for the great videos.

  19. Diane says:

    I use the ATG gun for most things (I like that it doesn’t get LOST on my table lol!) I also use the Multi Matte Medium for sticking on sequins and embellishments and for small die cuts, etc.

  20. Anastasia M. says:

    E-Z Dots Permanent Adhesive and Zig 2way glue, they hold paper very well and re not messy.

  21. Laura says:

    I get a little panicky imagining if I ran out of Glossy Accents, which I primarily use for adhesive purposes rather than its decorative properties. I like American Crafts dot runner adhesive which I’ve been picking up at Tuesday Morning stores, but will likely have to find a replacement product for that soon.

  22. Kim Heggins says:

    I love scor tape but for my cards fronts I use Scotch double stick tape, love this stuff and the price.

  23. Nicole says:

    I usually just use what ever adhesive is on sale ?

  24. Cathy Homan says:

    Tombow refillable tape runner, 3-M dimensional tape, Score tape.

  25. Becky Green says:

    I LOOOVE these kinds of posts, Jennifer!!!! You HELP SO MUCH when you do this kind of run down!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have been looking for just the RIGHT KIND of adhesive to use on my cards. Presently, I am using Double Stick Tape. It’s what I learned with & just haven’t changed. There HAS TO BE something CHEAPER, but just as good!!!! 😉

  26. Sabina F. says:

    I usually use tombow extreme and matte multi medium. I love strong adhesives. 🙂

  27. Erica Matthews says:

    I use a variety of adhesives, depending on the project. I am going to add Stick It to my lists of wants.

  28. Gina McClellan says:

    My favorite adhesive is definitely adhesive runner. Still blows my mind every time I use it! ?

  29. Angie B. says:

    I got the pink Tombow on your recommendation and I love it!

  30. Mauri says:

    I loved watching this video and getting so many great suggestions for adhesive. I’m kinda’ on an adhesive overhaul right now because I was finding some of my projects beginning to come undone. My large tape runner is inconvenient/sometimes hard to manage and I run out of my smaller Tombow permanent tape runners very quickly. I’ll be trying some you mentioned very soon to widen the effectiveness and get better results. Thank you for the opportunity to win another great “treat”! I’d like to try the newer Tombow adhesive runners!

  31. Jen Hayes says:

    I use a variety of adhesives, but mostly use Tombo mono and foam tape/squares. I have a few adhesives that I still need to try!

  32. Michele says:

    Thanks again for another great video. I prefer glue dots for small pieces but I am going to try the ranger multi medium. Have a great day!

  33. Frk Reither says:

    I just bought a bottle of Tombow mono multi glue, and I´m very pleased so far. It dries fast and seems very strong. I dont have a large selection of glue, but I wanted to try Tombow after watching your videos. Always follow Jennifers recommendations…;-)
    Love, Sara

  34. thank you again for that great tutorial like all your comments

  35. Janet Sisk says:

    I use a lot of different adhesives depending on the project that I am working on. I love Glue Glider Plus tape runners for my cards. I also like the Scor-tape especially the very thin type for ribbon. I also use Glue dots. For dimensional pieces I like Dimensionals by Stampin’ Up or foam tape by CTMH. Thanks for a chance to win a fabulous adhesive prize. 😀

  36. Anne Sturgeon says:

    I do love Tombow adhesives. However I do use a Elmer’s glue tape runner. I like it and I can get the refills at a lot of different stores.

  37. Tess Hackett says:

    I use the stamp runner too. I have tried other runners and don’t like them as much. I would like to try some of the stick-it.

  38. Vicky C says:

    I usually use Tombow runner adhesive and foam tape for dimension, and I really like the Be Creative tapes, very strong adhesive and comes in different roll sizes which is convenient.

  39. Sheryl Whiz says:

    Amazing, I had not thought about switching out the caps for the multi-media bottle. Makes sense. I do like the big 3M adhesive tool for use with large projects as it seems to go faster for me.

  40. Lynn Fletcher says:

    I have used the Tombow Mono Permanent Tape and the Sizzix Sheets for dry adhesive. I use the Tombow Multipurpose glue if I need a liquid glue and have tried the Ranger Multi Medium Matte and really like it.

  41. Donna Billingsley says:

    Wow lots of information. Thanks for educating us!

  42. Titta says:

    I use several different adhesives, but for adhering card layers together I use the E-Z Runner permanent tape or Tombow Mono tape. I will try the Tombow Stamp Runner you recommended, though. The hunt for the best adhesive is a never-ending one. 🙂

  43. Jenny Vertz says:

    i also love the stamp runner… awsome hold with it 🙂 i also use aileens glue and glossy accents… still haven’t tried the matte one… on my list though!

  44. Geri S. says:

    I use the ATG Scotch tape runner because I’m doing so many cards that I need something that will last a long time.
    I love Ranger multi-matte medium for so many things.

  45. Mobilemccool says:

    I use the ATC “gun” I agree that it’s bigger and bulkier, but I have a drawer at my work station that it fits into nicely. I was using the multi-medium matte and had one on desk, in travel, etc. Two problems I experienced are I constantly tear (no matter how gentle I am) the little safety “string” for the cap. Also, as the bottle gets less full it’s really hard for my arthritic fingers to press and I found drying time on projects a problem. I switched to Art Glitter with a micro tip applicator & have fewer problems & it seems to dry stronger & faster.

  46. Bunny says:

    Great video. I think I would like to try the Tombow as it my be easier to use than my ATG. A little less stress on the joints would be good.

  47. Vicki Smith says:

    I use Elmer’s tape runner adhesive and love it. Multi matte medium, and many others I also use. Thanks a million for the informative videos.

  48. Paula says:

    I use glossy accents for almost every thing!

  49. Lori Reinholz says:

    Thank you Jennifer for another great video. My favorite adhesives are Scor-tape, Tombo MonoAqua and Stampin Up tape runner. I also have some of the Stick it adhesive sheets by Ken Oliver for my die cuts. I really like the idea of the Tombo Tape Runner. Thanks for the giveaway offer. Now I hope I win! LOL! Hugs Lori

  50. Janet Swofford says:

    I use a lot of different adhesives for different purposes but my favorites are Tombow Mono and Scor-Tape. Loving your video series with all of the awesome tips!!!
