    I love mat medium for sequins. I have been collecting sequins and use them often on my cards!

  2. marcia007 says:

    I used a lot of Tombow Mono Liquid Glue, and lately have been using Ken Oliver Stick It for die cuts. What a fantastic medium that is!

  3. mkross says:

    This would be an awesome giveaway to win! The Stick It paper is fantastic and makes die cutting and applying so easy!!!

  4. Randa says:

    Again, thank you for all the time & effort you put into these videos. The info is awesome. My favorite tape adhesive is my big pink ATG. While it is a bit bigger than other tape dispensers, I love not having to refill it every few minutes when working on a big project. My favorite liquid adhesive is Multi Medium Matte. I love all the varieties of glue dots, foam tape & strong double sided tape as well.

  5. Reva says:

    Hey Jennifer! another great video! I really like the tombow multi liquid glue for most things, I also use the ranger multi matte glue after watching one of your videos. Love it for embellishments! thanks for all the great info!

  6. Allyson K. says:

    I love matte medium!! Yet I use decoupage a lot for art projects and use that as an adhesive in my art journal if I have it handy. I use red line tape a lot on my heavy duty card projects.

  7. Teri Ann says:

    I guess that I have two favorites. I find myself reaching for Ranger Multi Medium and Score Tape. You want your creations to hold-up for the recipient!

  8. Duangdow Cumemanie says:

    I use a pink ATG gun and you are right , “it is big” and I have a small hand. I had tried several tape runners in the past but never had a good results with them. It would be nice to try that Tombow tape runner.
    I also just want to mention that your suggestion about using a foam tape attached to a card as a foam base has made a lot of different . I mail lot of cards internationally and it works beautifully. Thank you for sharing

  9. Barbara Lambing says:

    I am a convert to the multi matte medium and use it a LOT now–no more fingerprints on my cards! Also love score tape when I don’t want a liquid, and the sticky back paper from Inka-dinka-doo is so nice for masking–do a lot more masking using that!

  10. Isabel Z says:

    My favorite adhesives are my ATG gun and red line tape. I love your posts where you share your favorites because I learn about products new to me. Thank you.

  11. Shirano says:

    My fav is double sided ones. I sometimes sattle for the cheap $store ones, but I should get better ones.

  12. Cindy Anderson says:

    I use a TomBow but I don’t believe it is the one you demonstrated

  13. Jannette Davis says:

    I couldn’t live without my ATG gun. I use the liquid Ranger Multi Matt Medium and the Mono glue.

  14. Sylvia says:

    Another informative video. Thanks Jennifer. I love my ATG almost for the same reasons you like the TomBow. I make a pretty mess on my work area and since it´s so big I never lose it, LOL!

  15. Aslin Santiago says:

    I use the ATG gun but nothing beats the Scor Tape (Be Creative)…that one is the BEST!!

  16. Stephanie says:

    Thank you for all your help and advice – for a beginner this is truly helpful

  17. My fav adhesive is my Scotch ATG. I also use other adhesives: Scotch foam, red tape, Tombow glue and Zig 2 Way glue pen.

  18. Becky Smith says:

    I usually use my ATG adhesive, but for Ranger’s matte medium is a favorite, too.

  19. BeverlyBL says:

    For just everyday cards, I use Stampin Up’s snail adhesive. For stronger hold, I use Be Creative or Elizabeth Craft Design tape. Thanks for your lists, Jennifer.

  20. Susie says:

    I had asked last week if you would create a video on adhesives , so thank you very much for including some of that in this most recent “favorite things” video. My most used adhesives are my ATG gun for taping and tacky glue for everything else. However, I do have specific situations in which I use the art institute dries clear, glossy accents, scor tape, quickie glue pen, two way glue pen, regular old Scotch tape, double sided scotch tape, removable scotch tape, glue dots, foam squares, stick it, double sided adhesive foam., and a few others, I recently bought the ranger matte medium and will have to see how it compares to the tacky glue. I have put a couple of specialty tips on the ends of some bottles based on your recommendation, and I do love the ability to do a fine controlled application. I also have two Xyron machines which I thought I’d like for applying diecuts, but there are issues there so I don’t end up using them as much as I thought I would. It amazes me that we crafters actually do need so many different products for different uses!

  21. Birgit says:

    I’ve been adding things to my wish lists left and right after watching each of these videos! Thanks for your professional opinion on all these matters. The adhesive I use right now is the Scotch ATG. Its large size goes a long way. I also use the matte adhesive but have added the precision tip to my wish list. that’s a great idea! Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. Honestly, when do you find time to sleep. ;0)

  22. Lucy says:

    My ATG gun has been my go to, but recently I have run into some difficulties with the adhesive. My craft room is out in the barn and I live in a humid area so the adhesive is exposed to a lot of weather variation. I am currently looking into other adhesives thanks for your input, it is much appreciated .

  23. Arina O says:

    I love the ATG gun. The size is not super great but the adhesive is strong!

  24. laura mm says:

    I just recently started using the tombo stamp runner adhesive & love it! With every other stamp runner I’ve tried the adhered layer starts peeling up after just a short time! Thanks for the reccs 🙂

  25. Rita Swanger says:

    I have used Ranger Multi-Medium Matte on your recommendation and love it! Thanks for offering such nice giveaways.

  26. Tammie J. says:

    Favorite is a tough choice since it varies by application, but generally speaking my “go to” has been any kind of tape runer close at hand. However, that is changing after reading comments and your video. Thank-you for sharing all of your knowledge and giving us the chance to win prizes. Oh, and the discounts!

  27. Barbara says:

    I use the Glue Glider but it has its issues. For scrap booking and even cards, Scrapbook Adhesives Mounting Squares work well and I still fall back on Aleene’s for many projects.

  28. Rebecca Reynolds says:

    I like the ATG gun, but sometimes it’s too bulky for my project. Then I use the Tombow. I seem to go through a lot of adhesive.

  29. Tami B says:

    I find I am liking liquid glues more and more. like Tombow Mono Multi, and Ranger Multi Medium Matte, but I also really like my ATG (except for as you said, the bulk of it.)

  30. Ginger G. says:

    My favorite is a version of a tombow runner – not exactly like yours – I would love to try that one though. I also really like the multi medium matte adhesive. I took your suggestion and I use it with the fine tip – it really makes a big difference! Thanks!

  31. Marie O says:

    Thanks to you, Jennifer….I love Ranger Multi, Medium, Matte adhesive. Unfortunately there are no stores in my area that carry this product….I like instant gratification and don’t like waiting for ‘snail mail’ …..lol

  32. Tricia says:

    Tombow liquid adhesive, ranger multi medium and tear tapes are my favorite adhesives.

  33. Mary Mac says:

    My tombow adhesive is the one I use just about everyday.

  34. Nicki says:

    I really like Multi Matt Medium for a liquid glue. It doesn’t leave a shiny mark. Be Creative tape is my favorite for tape runner.

  35. Theresa P says:

    My wish list grows every time I watch one of your Videos with your Favorites. I use a lot of Scor-tape and Tombow glues. Would love to win the tape runner.

  36. Janet Blakeman says:

    Ranger multi medium matte is my personal favorite as it works on most surfaces I use and the bonus is…..it dries clear!

  37. Ronna E. says:

    I currently use a removable dot adhesive runner I can get at the local craft store. I wish they had the Tombow locally and would love the opportunity to try it.

  38. Fran Servoss says:

    Great video. Both paper and adhesive info really good. Helps so much.

  39. WandaD says:

    Love the Ranger Multi Matte for liquid & use tape runners for other. Thanks for showing all the alternate products.

  40. Diane says:

    My favorite adhesive is the Tombow Stamp Runner. I like it for all the reasons you stated. Thanks for sharing.

  41. valchic says:

    I love the Ranger medium .Its what I always use because its what I have.Thank you JENNIFER?

  42. D.Ann C says:

    So far, Tombow Xtreme is my favorite for heavier items, buttons, ribbon, etc. I’m still looking for one I like with die cutting.

  43. Barb Miazza says:

    I am learning so much from this series of videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I’ve been using to bow and the 3m foam tape fairly exclusively.

  44. Lorelei Mayer says:

    I love your posts but it’s really hard to see the pale blue against the white.

  45. Bonnie Stebbins says:

    I use the Tombow mono adhesive and 3M foam tape. I am still trying different tape runners. I think I will give the Tombow runner a try.

  46. Debby M. says:

    I find the ATG the most cost effective, but I use Tombow tape runner for smaller uses.

  47. Tonya Denton says:

    I love my Tomboy Mono Adhesive as well as well as the liquid glue! I’m definitely going have to check out the White Craft Foam! Always learn new and wonderful things from you!

  48. Charlotte C says:

    I love the Tombow Rape Runner as you’ve shown here, but sometimes it’s frustrating when it doesn’t feed properly. I use the ATG gun and my Xyrons a lot too. And you turned me on to the Multi Matte Medium and I can’t thank you enough for that. Also for liquid I use Scotch Quick Dry Glue – holds amazing for 3D projects. Thank you for all you do to inspire and inform us, and for the chance to win in the giveaway.

  49. Melanie says:

    I generally use Stampin’ Up/Tombow adhesives. They seem to do the job for me!

  50. Barbara R says:

    I like the Tombow permanent tape runner and the Tombow multi liquid glue. I also use the Sookwang tape for embossed papers.
