    Thanks for all the favorite videos. My favorite paper is the Neenah white solar crest 110 lb. my favorite glue currently is art glitter glue. It is matte and clear on paper as well. Have a terrific Thanksgiving holiday.

  3. Lillian K says:

    I discovered the cardstock from MFT some time ago, and I love it! It comes in so many wonderful colours, I use it for almost all the cards I make.

  4. Vildana says:

    Hi, Jennifer! My favourite adhesive is score tape! I wish you wonderful holidays with your family!

  5. I love Tombo Mono Aqua version and would love to try Neenah card stock. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks you are constantly sharing with us – we truly appreciate all the inspiration!

  6. Michelle S says:

    My favorite paper is the Strathmore Bristol and my favorite adhesive is a tape runner

  7. Monica W says:

    I love foam tape, and I like that I can cut it into the size that I need. I also like the idea of using craft foam 🙂

  8. Kathryn M says:

    I use a lot of the 3m foam tape and it does last a long time.

  9. Kat McDonald says:

    I have been using Neenah white cardstock and LOVE it! Thanks for tips, though, about the differences in card weight, though. My 110 lb. Neenah white feels like about 80 lb. I use it for card fronts and something heavier for the base.

  10. Kim Smith says:

    I love tombow glue it works well and has 2 size ends. Also the stick it sheets. Both are great product and easy to use .

  11. Love the Ranger Multi Medium Matte adhesive. It works great for so many things!! I had fun this summer playing around with Yupo in the Summer of Chemistry classes – I need to do more of that. Love the scor-tape. Love the Neenah paper. Just got my first shipment from Gina K and looking forward to creating some card bases with color!!

  12. little bit says:

    I use the Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue and love the Stampin’ Up adhesive strips. I like the Neenah solar white 110 lb for card bases. Thank you for your helpful suggestions! Happy Thanksgiving.

  13. TammyJ says:

    I love Neenah card stock. And bristol smooth vellum finish. Thanks Jennifer

  14. BunnyD says:

    I love the Neena Solar White cardstock and I bought it on your recommendation. It’s great for my Copic colouring. I want to try the Multi Medium Matte Adhesive. I have the discontinued Matte version of Glossy Accents right now and I love it.

  15. Michelle D says:

    I have lots of favorites from your list, ranger multi medium matte, be creative tape and Bristol paper.

  16. Lisa K says:

    My favorite adhesive that you showed is the Be Creative Tape. It will hold forever. I use Tombow glue in the green bottle a lot, though, as it is costs much less. My favorite paper for watercolor is the Tim Holz watercolor paper. I purchase the Ranger in the 8 1/2 X 11 size and cut it to a size I need. For colored paper, I use a lot of Gina K Designs. I have found nothing matches her cardstock. Thanks for sharing so many ideas.

  17. Lisa Kind says:

    I was curious about the SU foam strips. Thanks for recommending them! Love this series! Happy Thanksgiving!

  18. Lori Hefner says:

    I love using paper trey inks paper! I really want to try stampin up’s foam adhesive for shakers:)

  19. Lisa Shireman says:

    My favorite paper is Neenah Solar White 110 lb. I have not tried the 80 lb. paper, yet. I did buy some of the other Neenah paper by mistake. It is wonderful paper, but it is just not the best for stamping and coloring.

  20. Betty says:

    love the Bristol paper and altho you didn’t mention Glossy Accents I still use it for sequins and lots of other gluing – I just store it upside-down and it never clogs.

  21. Cheryl Bowman says:

    I use my Sakura Quickie Glue roller pen all the time! It makes gluing down intricate die cuts so easy.

  22. Michelle says:

    My favorite is the Neenah solar white as well. Love how bright white the paper is.

  23. Tammie J. says:

    I have been a fan of PTI for years so I usually get my colored paper there. But after your My Favorite Things series last year, I bought some Neenah white card stock and love it.

  24. CathyL says:

    The Stick It adhesive sheets look like a great product!

  25. Lora says:

    My favorite thing is Neenah White cardstock. Makes card making so much easier.

  26. Karyn wise says:

    I love the Neenah solar white and the be creative tape. Time to reorder thanks for the coupon code. You rock!

  27. Karen K says:

    The Neenah is great for stamping!

  28. Kris says:

    Neenah solar white is my favorite! So versatile and consistent.

  29. Ali Moore says:

    Craft foam has revolutionized my card making!

  30. I love the Distress Watercolor Paper for watercolors. The colors seem so much more vibrant because it is such a bright white.

  31. Ha! I’d love all the paper and all the adhesives from your favorites but shipping here in Greece from the US would kill our wallet so I can’t even try those things out … unfortunately. 🙁

  32. Glorie Alvarez says:

    My favorite is the 80lb Neenah Solar White. I got the recommendation from Julie Ebersole a long time ago at SplitcoastStampers. Thanks for the chance to win.

  33. tape says:

    I love Yupo paper. 🙂

  34. Littlesavedgirl says:

    I’ve tried lots of different cardstock including Nina Solar White and find them all useful in a variety of ways . Already been through my Reem of Nina SW so it would be right on time for my crafty Stash !

    Thanks again Jennifer and Happy Thanksgiving ? ❤ !

  35. Debbie says:

    My favorite paper is the Nina Solar White 110 lb as I do a lot of Copic coloring. However, I am ready to try the Bristol smooth and have new Zig markers but have not had a chance to try them yet!

  36. Ria says:

    My favourite adhesive would be the Tombow stamp runner. I love to use it when crafting. It is just so nice and easy to us without making a mess.

    Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

  37. Natasha says:

    My favorite paper from above is Papertrey Ink cardstock and my favorite adhesive is the Be Creative tape- love that stuff!

  38. Samantha Coleman says:

    I love my Neenah Solar Crest 80# White Cardstock. I even use it for for my card bases because it was hard to keep track of both the 110# and 80#. Once I use all the 12×12 card stock (massive messy, and unorganized mess) then maybe I can start looking at different weights and brands.

  39. Robin says:

    Love my Neenah Solar White 110lb paper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  40. Linda Jamme says:

    Thanks for all the videos again this year. I look forward to watching your favorites because you craft way more than I do and you know your products. I have been meaning to buy the tape runner you always use. I normally use my ATG tape runner from Scotch and I love it but once in a while I want to use something smaller. I can’t wait to see your completed craft room! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
    I was unable to leave my name so I will give it to you here

  41. Kelly B says:

    I love Tombow stamp runner.

  42. Yvette says:

    Love Gina K!

  43. Patty Eifert says:

    For paper I use the Neenah 110 lb & for adhesive I mostly use the Scotch ATG tape runner. The tape runner can be a bit cumbersome, but I love that you don’t have to refill it constantly if you are making a lot of cards!

  44. Happy Thanksgiving, Jennifer … and thank you for another video full of great information and fabulous tips! I like the Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock … and for adhering things I use Ranger Multi Medium Matte and a Scotch ATG, depending on what I’m doing! Anita 🙂

  45. Annette L Varcoe says:

    I love Heavy Weight, Cold Press Watercolor paper. I think it does a good job with different kinds of watercolor and inks. Thank you for the good ideas and Happy Thanksgiving!

  46. Gwen says:

    Happy Thanksgiving ! I love Neenah, Bristol for my Zigs and Ranger multi media matte.

  47. Kristen says:

    Matte Medium is now my go to choice for adhesive. I am also a big fan of Simon Says Cardstock.
    Happy Thanksgiving

  48. Bobbie Durkee says:

    My favorite is the foam tape. I use it all the time. Happy Thanksgiving!

  49. Katie Ingram says:

    I’m a fan of Bristol Strathmore…haven’t tried the Neenah yet, but might have to give it a try! thanks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving!

  50. Lizzie T says:

    I have been using Papertrey Ink’s card stock for ages – I love it! It’s the perfect weight to stand up to one layer or many and the colors are divine! I also can’t live without that 3M foam tape – I use it on almost every card I make so I finally caved and bought the mega roll on Amazon – best investment!
