    I really want to try the Tombow adhesive…this silly bunny from Australia…ugh the $ and freight ordered some Ellen Hudson paper before the video finished….so too late to get it in the same parcel.
    So let patience have her perfect work!

  6. Stacy V says:

    Love the bristol paper for the Zig markers and Tom bow adhesive. Never tried the Neenah. Thanks

  10. Andrea says:

    I love the 3M foam tape- I’ve tried other stuff and it’s just predictable and not gooey sticky like cheaper versions. I also prefer Neenah Solar White, it’s a classic cardstock. It’s a great line of paper.

  11. Abby says:

    I really like Neenah card stocks.

  14. Virginia Payne says:

    I love the Quickie Glue pen. Thanks for sharing your favorite things!

  15. Cindy Murry says:

    My favorite adhesive is 3L brand E-Z Runner. It has a good hold & am always able to buy it at a discount at national discount craft stores. I go through lots of adhesive making cards for a card ministry, so cost is important. My favorite card stock is My Favorite Things .

  16. Memoriesbymanda says:

    I use the Quickie glue pen ( & the ranger multi medium)

  17. JulieC says:

    I love the Ranger Multi Medium, scor-tape, and Tombow adhesives.

  18. Elaine Creighton says:

    I use a confetti cards to know a lot, but am finding it doesn’t work well with copics which I’m new at. Would love to find something that works well for that. Love your incite it’s very helpful, thank you for your hard work.

  19. I LOVE my Neenah white 110# paper ~ it’s so sturdy. And the Stick It adhesive makes all of the intricate dies so much easier to adhere!!!

  20. Tami B says:

    You introduced me to Ranger Multi-Medium (with the precision tip added!) some time ago & I love it.

  21. Nancy Wilcox says:

    I love Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive.

  22. Debbie Eslinger says:

    Neenah both weights because you can use it for so many techniques

  23. Beverly Kozlowski says:

    I really like the Ranger multi medium matte adhesive, but now I realize that I need to get the precision tip for it. Thanks for sharing all your favorite papers and adhesives. I am making a new wish list after watching your video.

  24. Gail Plaskiewicz says:

    I see you got a whole slew of views here. I think it’s the most I’ve ever seen from your site. You rock!
    I am a paper lover to the max! A great piece of paper just makes the right card. Sometimes I don’t know what kind of paper I want to use and I will check out my stash and find just the right one and then I know my card is complete. I loved the glitter paper and I bought some for my Christmas cards this year and last year but not any of the ones you showed here. I liked all the plain colored paper too and I have just plain red and green, the Christmas colors , for some of my Christmas cards. I have some fancy paper for my Christmas cards but I also have plain red and green because sometimes you just want plain paper.
    I’m not sure about the adhesives you mentioned. I have some faves and one of them is Aileen’s. She makes so many different kinds of glue for just about any project you can think of. I love glue dots and glue lines and pop dots. We do need to have glue when we make cards, don’t we?

  25. tara capewell says:

    i love the scotch tape but man its like $11 for a 2 mtr roll here in oz 🙁

  26. Debbie Meyer says:

    Sakura Quickie Glue Roller

  27. SuzanD says:

    I love vellum on cards. It adds elegance to any design.

  28. Nancy James says:

    I’ve not used the Neenah papers yet but want to after watching your videos. I use Stampin Up, Bazzil, and DCWV most of the time. I have been using the Tombow Mono liquid lately. I like it and think I will try the stamp runner. I like Glue Arts Glider Pro but haven’t seen refills for it in a long time. Do you know if its still available?

    Lila was so cute with her lipstick today, LOL

  29. LC says:

    I bought Be Creative tape based on your 2015 list and absolutely LOVE it! Thanks for the awesome recommendation!

  30. Niro Jude says:

    Love watching your videos and tips on Neenah and adhesives. Happy Thanksgiving! X

  31. Haejin says:

    I love my foam tape~ I actually didn’t have much luck with the stamp runner because my adhesive kept snapping apart. 🙁 I would love to try the stick it adhesive, though. Thank you for sharing!!

  32. Tona says:

    I’m enjoying all of these videos.
    From your recommendation from a blog post from quite a while ago I got some 110# Neenah cardstock & I LOVE it.

  33. Lindsey says:

    I have never found a wet glue as good as my Tombow mono adhesive i just love it

  34. Janet Goshorn says:

    Love all of the videos this past week- so helpful

  35. Janet trapp says:

    Super in love with using craft foam and Neenah card stock,have not tried the heavier kind though!
    Thanks for the chance to win!
    God bless you

  36. ana manzana says:

    I love this serie!!
    I really like the neenah cardstock, that I bought because of you 🙂

  37. Allisa says:

    I love Gina K’s card stock. My favorite adhesive is tied between the Tombow stamp runner and the Ranger Multi Medium Matte adhesive.

    Thank you for the wonderful information. I have found a lot of favorite supplies by watching your videos!

  38. bev p says:

    I am still using the cardstock I got at a paper store for bases. It’s ok, but I am trying to use it as fast as I can before I try the Neenah! I have started using the Bristol paper and so far, I am really loving it. I really like that it is readily available from my local craft stores! I do love the craft foam, but I also have some of the foam tape for smaller things. I really want to try a bunch of the things you recommend, but I am still at a “one thing at a time” phase!! And, most of my cards are either donated or given away. I would love to hear a post/video on how to generate some income from this craft, then I could justify what I spend on it! Thanks so much for all the information and wonderful ideas. And I do hope you are enjoying this wonderful holiday weekend with your family!

  39. Laura P. says:

    Hi Jennifer, I love your annual series on your favorite crafty things! My favorite cardstock is SU, and for adhesive I like the Tombow tape runner and Scor-tape. Thanks for a chance to win!

  40. Caro A says:

    where I live, I can’t buy many of the products you mentioned here. but I look for different types of papers and adhesives to see which ones I like the most. I recently found and bought a stamp runner and I am loving it! one thing I know is that if I ever travel to USA, I’ll buy at least one Neenah 80 lb White Cardstock ream.

  41. karenajo says:

    The Neenah white cardstock is great – I have tried it and like it so much better than others I have used !!!

  42. Paula G says:

    I love the Gina K metallic paper.

  43. Robyn S says:

  44. Woendi Levitt says:

    Foam tape is my favorite!! I love the dimension I can get and also making shaker cards. Who doesnt love shaker cards!!!

  45. Erin M says:

    I love Bristol for coloring with Zigs and the SSS colored cardstock is great!

  46. Karen Waldner says:

    I have actually never tried any of the above products, but I would love to try the Neeah cardstock, it seems great,

  47. Cynni says:

    This video is amazing! I just started making cards and I have a hard time choosing paper :’) So this video came in handy, thank you! What I really like is foam tape, never thought I would use it and what I also want to use is the stick it paper, seems very interesting, going to buy it soon! 🙂

  48. cyshinkle says:

    Mine is the tape runner. Learned about it after watching you ?

  49. Mandy Salazar says:

    I’ve never tried any of these products except for the foam tape so by default that’s my favorite! I love your series on your favorits though. I look forward to it every year!! I usually consult these videos before deciding to get a new product!! Thanks again! God bless!!
