  18. Cherie says:

    My favorite paper for Copic coloring is Papertrey Ink Stamper’s Select White card stock. For most other coloring mediums I like to use Strathmore Bristol paper. I like using the Be Creative adhesive tapes in all widths while crafting.

  19. Vicenta Ghylin says:

    Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for all your helpful video tutorials. They have helped me a lot for ideas and learning new techniques.

  20. Sharlini Nambiar says:

    Hi Jennifer, it’s a difficult choice, but I have to say that my fave adhesive from above would be the Tombow Stamp Runner. Thank you for these helpful recommendations. I’ve ordered craft foam, but they’re multicoloured, and I may get that precision tip.

  21. Irene Herrera Shan says:

    Such great information in your paper and adhesive video. I have learned so much studying all your videos. Thanks again for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.

  22. Nanna says:

    I am using the Neenah papers and i love them!

  23. PatriciaD says:

    Again, loving your videos…I have to admit I don’t get the best papers because I’m lucky to get the dies and glues and stuff and figure I have to cut somewhere but I may have to rethink that…thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

  24. Emily Daniels says:

    My favorite is probably the Scotch foam tape- I love making shakers! I am dying to get some Stick It though it seems like a great item 🙂

  25. Ann Gibbins says:

    Really enjoy videos, thank you Jennifer. Enjoy your family time. I love Ranger Multi Mat Medium. My cardstock is varied I have Gina K and Simon Says Stamps cardstock and Neenah solar white.

  26. Beatrice Lawson says:

    For coloured card stock I love SSS – their colours are gorgeous! (plus being in Canada it’s a lot easier to order as part of a bigger shopping spree than getting a few items here and there…) the Neenah solar white is my go to, and I would just love that big pack! I want to try the metallic card stock too – I think it’s great for die cuts but shipping from Gina K to Canada is fairly slow… might be worth it if I combine the card stock with some of their gorgeous stamps!

  27. Doris says:

    My favorites are the Ranger Multi Matte Medium and definitely the Neenah paper.

  28. Margaret says:

    My favorite is probably the Hot Off The Press heat resistant acetate. I think you can do a lot of techniques with it from heat embossing to shaker card windows and magic slider cards, you can also use it as a gift card holder with a peekaboo twist in it. 🙂 Happy thanksgiving! 😀

  29. Tani says:

    I have started using most of these products. Love them!!!!!

    Happy thanksgiving Jennifer . I’ve been a card maker for a while now but my cards making was just taking photos and putting onto card stock . Your videos are very helpful.. I love using Bristol card stock. Being in ?? It’s hard to find good card stock . I will have to try the Neenah Classic Crest 80 LB SMOOTH SOLAR WHITE and the 110lb . I use a variety of adhesives too .

  34. Nancy says:

    I’ve recently discovered your video series and I enjoy your thoughful videos sooooo much! Thanks! I use various papers depending on the project, but Stamping Up whisper white and very vanilla are old standbys. I love 3M foam tape! And Scor tape is wonderful. I’ve recently followed your recommendation and gotten the multi matte. Can’t wait to use it.

  35. Marina says:

    My favorite adhesives are a tape runner and sticky tape.
    From the papers you mention, I haven’t used any since I live in Europe and haven’t found them here.

  36. Casie W says:

    I am going to have to try the Stampin Up foam strips. It’s such a pain to cut foam tape — this could be a real winner!

  37. Beatriz says:

    My faves are Neenah paper and Tombow Stamp Runner adhesive. Happy Thanksgiving!!

  39. Bharati Nayudu (India) says:

    Hi Jennifer,
    Card stock and adhesive are like bricks and cement for every card maker.
    I love using distress ink and so my fav card stock is Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper. It takes distress inks and water superbly well… My fav adhesive has to be Ranger Multi Medium Matte… i use it to stick almost everything with it

  40. I love my Bristol paper and also my scotch tape, wouldn’t be without them.

  41. nlcmisty2 says:

    I am going to get the Neenah cardstocks. I like the idea of the big roll of the foam tape I use foam tape a lot.

  42. Darlene says:

    I love Gina K paper and Tim Holtz water color paper. However I have heard so much about the Neenah white paper that I can’t wait to try it.

  43. Liz says:

    My fav adhesive would be the scotch tape runner and l love stampin up paper.

  44. Rbkhood says:

    I love the matte multi medium. I’ve always wanted to try the Neenah paper so will have to give that a go. Oh I also want to try the Tombow Stamp Runner – it looks like it works quite well!
    As always, thanks for all you do! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

  45. Kathy D says:

    Happy Thanksgiving, Jennifer! My favorite paper is the Neenah Solar White – I love the heavier 110 lb variety for sturdy card bases. Thanks for the chance to win!

  46. Marilyn J says:

    I just purchased the Neenah White 80 lb. cardstock and am going to give it a try. So far I like the feel and the look of it. I am looking forward to working with it. Also I love the Ranger multi medium glue. It is perfect as I am all of the time seeing little peeks of glue from under my embellishments. Thank you so much for your tips and techniques!

  47. Rema DeLeeuw says:

    I like the Neenah Solar White and Gina K. Designs cardstock.

  48. Marija says:

    My favorite is Ranger multi medium matte, and another one I use often for fine work is Kuretake Zig two way glue. It works very similarly to the Quickie glue pen that you showcased.

  49. Jeanna says:

    I love Tombow Stamp Runner. I have to try all the other adhesives. So glad tomorrow is Black Friday 🙂 Thanks for all the links!

  50. Sarah JS says:

    Hands down, Ranger’s Multi Medium Matte. Love this stuff for thin die cuts and sequins, and does not show if some seeps out.
