  1. My favorite paper in Neenah Solar White — I use both the 80lb and 110lb depending on the project. My favorite cardstock is Papertrey Ink — love the colors and the weight. The price point seems to be more competitive than some of the other brands. Thanks to you, my favorite adhesives are the Ranger Multi Medium Matte and the Tomboy runner.

  2. Gerdien says:

    My favorite adhesive is the Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive, it’s so versatile! Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. Nana Griffin says:

    I have not tried the Nina cardstock but for several years now have used GKD and like the smoothness of the white very much. Great to use with copics but need the heavy weight for one layer cards with them.

  4. Pernilla Zetterberg says:

    I do love my Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive and the top from the Quilled Creations Precision tip bottle that I have attached to it. I’m also a big user of the Stick It Removable Adhesive Roller.

  5. Debbie p says:

    Very good video . My favorite adhesive is the ranger multi medium . I watch your videos before,that how I got to try the ranger multi medium, it is great. I still having a hard time finding the paper that I love because I can,t fine the Neenah card stock in Canada. But I use the micheal recollection ,but it’s only 65 lbs and I use there 110 lbs for my card base. Have a happy thanksgiving.

  6. Elizabeth Dingman says:

    I love the Tim Holtz watercolor paper. It is so convienent and ink blends so smoothly.

  7. Carmen D. says:

    Love the Tim Holtz watercolor paper!

  8. ccarmstrong says:

    Hi Jennifer, I am a true beginner I have no favorites yet, I don’t have any stuff yet, I am trying to get started in card making. I am recovering from a stroke I had in 2014 and hope to be able to get into doing this full time. I have always been Crafty! Thanks for all the great videos and great tips. Have a Blessed Day!!

  9. Glenda Lee Nutting says:

    I love Gina K cardstock. And the Ranger adhesive.

  10. Nancy Deffner says:

    Love the tombow stamp runner and Neenah paper.

  11. Metty says:

    Thanks for a clear presentation, as always!

  12. C Gee says:

    I love the Be Creative tapes. They are so strong, plus they are heat resistant so I can heat emboss on them.

  13. Susan Wesely says:

    I do love the PTI cardstock but I need to try the Neenah. I have the ATG but am in love with the Be Creative tape. Happy Thanksgiving sweet lady!

  14. Sue McRae says:

    My fave paper is the Neenah in the 80lb and 110lb. They are a staple along with the Be Creative Tape and 3M Foam Tape.

  15. Heather Quinton says:

    My favourite paper is the Neenah Solar White.

  16. Teresa says:

    My favorite adhesive is Ken Oliver’s Stickit. It has made a huge difference in placing my dye cuts. I have some Neenah solos white 80 lbs, but it doesn’t say classic crest. The paper does work better when I am using my Copics. I’m just learning to use my Copics. Thank you for expert advice. I appreciate your teaching. I hope you are have a wonderful thanksgiving with your family.

  17. Allie says:

    My favorite is the Neenah Solar White 110lb paper! (Please no one copy and paste my comment as their own, it’s not necessary and it doesn’t sit well with me. Makes me feel icky. That means you Meghan…whoever you are)

  18. barbara lassiter says:

    My favorite adhesive is Ranger Multi matte Medium because it dries matte. I love the dimensional tape you showed, also and have a huge roll as well. The large roll is a tremendous bargain and saves about half on the price of the smaller rolls. Love the Neenah solar white papers!
    Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂

  19. Robyn I says:

    I love having a ream of Neenah 80lb – I use it on most of my cards! Thanks for the recommendations!

  20. Beth says:

    Just a trick to make sure the Multi Medium Matte precision point cap/needle isn’t clogged. I wipe off the tip, hold the bottle close to my cheek and very gently squeeze the bottle – just a tiny bit. If I can feel a puff of air on my face it’s not clogged. If I can’t feel the puff, there’s a tiny bit of medium in/near the tip (or even trapped air) so I gently squeeze the bottle onto paper, then repeat the puff test. As long as it’s stored upright, no problems, ever. Happy Thanksgiving!

  21. Lorelle says:

    I use the 3m foam tape on almost all the cards I make. Love the dimension.

  22. Holly king says:

    I just ordered the Neenah 80 pound paper. I can’t wait to get it and try it. I think it is going to solve some of my stamping problems.

  23. Beth says:

    The Tombow stamp runner is the cat’s meow, not only for all the reasons Jennifer gives, but because my hand has a minor, permanent injury plus some arthritis, and it’s the most comfortable runner in the world to hold – at least for my hand.

  24. Zandy Ng says:

    The Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive is the best for me – it adheres almost everything and does not leave any unsightly residue.

  25. Ruesmom99 says:

    Hi! I love to use Neenah solar white 110 lb paper. I have never used the 80lb, but have wanted to for awhile. I also love the Tim Holtz watercolor paper, works beautifully. As for adhesives, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have my zig glue pens (all varieties) that stuff is amazing. I love my Tombow tape runner. 🙂

  26. Denise Gardner says:

    3M foam tape is a must

  27. meghan says:

  28. Missy Pink says:

    Oh I love Neenah solar white cardstock and my favourite adhesive as to be double sided foam tape. I’m loving this series Jennifer, also the top tips are so helpful. You are such a inspired to me.

    Hugs xx

  29. Lori says:

    I have always appreciated your videos regarding paper, adhesives, your cards, etc. It has probably saved me a lot of money weeding out the most useful items since I pay more for shipping to Hawaii. However, shipping rates have been much better in the past few years and you always keep us abreast of the upcoming deals. It’s just the wait time and being so anxious to start a new project. Returning back to your video, I have been looking for a good adhesive tape runner and now ‘m ready to purchase the Tombow Adhesive Tape Runner plus a few other items.
    THANK YOU JENNIFER!

  30. Colleen H says:

    Happy Thanksgiving! My favorite paper is the Bristol smooth, just discovered this paper and it is awesome!! My favorite adhesive is the Ranger Multi and the Bee Creative is tied they are both great!!

  31. Ellen C says:

    My favorites are the Tombow Stamp Runner – love it, always have refills on hand – and the Neenah Solar White.

  32. COEngrGirl says:

    I started using Multi-Medium Matte with the Precisin Glue Tip last year after the 2105 Favorite Crafty Things series. It is the BOMB and I use it on almost every project! Haven’t pulled the trigger on trying the Neenah Solar White cardstock yet, but it’s on my list, for sure!

  38. Anjaly says:

    I love Gina k, Bristol smooth, vellum by SSS and Tim holtz distress watercolor paper for different techniques but would like to try the MFT papers which are always highly recommended and SSS card stock for their yummy colors. Adhesive I love ranger multi medium matt and 3M foam tape..a must have for all crafters!

  39. Leanne S says:

    I love the 3M spray adhesive or a hot glue gun.

  40. Elizabeth Bielicki says:

    I enjoy using 3M tape, Tombow adhesives, & Neenah.

    Thank you,
    Elizabeth

  41. Marilize Kruger says:

    I love your trick with the craft foam and will be using it this year for travelling Xmas cards 🙂 The Stick-it looks like an amazing adhesive to have at hand – especially for playing with diecuts.

  42. Milene Tiberius says:

    The craft foam is really really fantastic! I started using it after I watched your video of the card going through the mail. It was also super useful when o accidentally ran out of foam tape! Lol I haven’t had the chance to try the Be Creative tape, but I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Thank you for the amazing tips, Jennifer! You rock, too!

  43. Brooke Rector says:

    I love the Neenah card stock and Tombow adhesive!

  45. Dee Earnshaw says:

    Thank you Jennifer for all your great tips and techniques for using adhesives and your fav papers. I use Gina K paper and card stock because it’s high quality and works beautifully with copic markers. Thanks for the chance of winning a fabulous prize, too:)

  46. Kelly O says:

    Love the craft foam. I’m glad you mentioned it in the past as I really use the foam a lot more. It is better than pop dots! Love the be creative tape as well, super strong! Thanks for the video!

  47. Gauri V says:

    Hi Jennifer, the be creative double sided tape and the fancy looking tombow adhesive tape runner. Have used the first but not the other and would like to try it. It would definitely make gluing things so easy. Thanks!!

  48. Michelle Gonser says:

    My favorite paper is the shimmer white card stock from Stampin Up. It give it a nice subtle sparkle. My favorite adhesive is the stick it adhesive. I love the Stick It Adhesive Sheets for my word die sentiment. Makes life easier and cleaner. Thanks for the video. I love binge watching them in a row on my TV instead of my table. LOL.

  49. Laura Jane says:

    Happy Thanksgiving Jennifer!! I am always grateful for your FAVORITE THINGS lists:))
    My new favorite paper is Strathmore Bristol Smooth because it works SO well with teh ZIGGYS!!

  50. Deanna says:

    I love the Stampin’ Up foam adhesive because it’s just the right thickness! But I’d also like to try some of these others!
