  2. Betty Bywater says:

    Thanks SSS for the giveaway. Jennifer, I look forward to your ‘Favorite Crafty Things’ every year. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.

  3. jackie s says:

    I love the Ranger Multi Medium. I bought the quill tip a couple months ago. What a difference that made!

  4. Jean Bullock says:

    My favorite adhesive is the Tombow Stamp Runner. My only problem is getting the refills. They always seem to be out of stock. It’s my favorite stamp runner for the very reasons you mention. I love how you can go around curves very easily and I love the stamp feature of it.

  5. Liza Dehnel says:

    I love PTIs cardstock (and they are adding new colors :)). I’m still trying to find an adhesive – but started using the tombow tape runner and really liking the control (and ability to erase when needed)! Thank you for putting these together!

  6. Monika says:

    I have never tried it, but my favorite thing to watch you use is Stick It! My son is a big fan too lol!

  7. Melissa says:

    Neenah is THE BEST!

  8. Terry B. says:

    Neenah cardstock is some of my favorite paper.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

    Merry Christmas!

  9. Betty J says:

    I love the stick it adhesive sheets. I makes attaching die cut words so much easier.

  10. Donna says:

    Thank you for sharing your favorites! Very grateful for all you do!

  11. Kristi says:

    Love all these products!

  12. Brenda Brown says:

    These are all great products! Such a cute video. Thanks Jennifer for the information you share, the inspiration you provide and for all the wonderful videos you have given us over the years.

  13. Michelle says:

    I love Stampin Up’s ingenious idea of making foam adhesive strips! It makes everything so much more convenient if you just want thin strips!

  14. Danielle Dietz says:

    Neenah Solar White is my favorite paper to use!! Thanks for the compilation of all the sales codes. Makes it so easy to shop. 🙂

  15. Rkp62 says:

    Multi mat medium is my favorite adhesive. I have never used a tape runner but want to try one that is refillable. Thanks for sharing the tombow tape runner. It’s just what I’m looking for.

  16. Randee S says:

    I love using the 3M foam tape. TFS

  17. SueLD says:

    Favorite paper is the Neenah solar white. Favorite adhesive you mentioned was the 3M foam tape. My favorite adhesive is Scotch double stick tape.

  18. Maddie Mc says:

    Great video!! I really like the Tombow stamp runner:)

  19. Caitlin Rebecca says:

    I am a huge fan of the Bristol smooth paper!! Love this video series!!

  20. Ashlee Diane says:

    I love the Ranger multi medium matte adhesive and use it all the time!!!

  21. Carolee McCaslin says:

    I sure am enjoying your videos:) I use the 3M foam tape on most of my projects!!

  22. I love the foam tape – I have the large roll and I am buying the Classic Crest in both weights now. Thanks!

  23. Kathryn A says:

    My favourite paper is from PTI, and my favourite adhesive is Be Creative tape, with Ranger Muti-Medium Mat as a close second. (I wish I could get Gina K paper here in Canada.)

  24. Gail Larsen says:

    My favorite paper is Neenah Solar White 80 pound.

    Gail

  25. Laura Tuck says:

    Ranger Multi Medium Matte is my favorite wet adhesive and Be Creative tape is my favorite dry adhesive. Of course Neenah is my favorite white in both weights.

  26. Msisboutik says:

    People keep talking about Neenah paper but here in France we can’t find it. I haven’t really found any “basic” paper I like. For watercoloring I use CANSON Mixed media paper XL and I like it and the price is good.

  27. Gail says:

    I just discovered foam tape…OMG a game changer for me

  28. I really like Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper.

  29. Suzanne says:

    The multi matte with the quilling tip is one of my all-time favorite suggestions.

  30. Susan Pezza says:

    I love the Neenah paper, both the 80 lb and the 110 lb. I use it the same way you do, the 80 lb for stamping and color basically for card fronts and the 110 lb for the card bases. There are a few other cardstocks that I do use, but for the most part, it’s Neenah! Thanks for doing the My Favorite Crafty Things Series, I always refer back to them throughout the year. Thanks for all you do for us 🙂

  31. Betsy l says:

    My ultimate favorite cardstock is from PTI. I like the thickness and smoothness of the paper. I’ve tired SSS and MFT before as well. Not that I don’t like them, but for the quality and quantity, PTI will well with it.

  32. Sharon Tate says:

    Hi Jennifer,
    Neenah crest solar white is one of my favourites, I just love how well it takes copic colouring. My favourite adhesive is ranger multi mat medium and I also love 3m foam tape.

  33. Lorraine says:

    I use Papertrey Ink cardstock and Tim Holtz watercolor paper. Never tried tombow stamp runner, but will now. Thank you for your list!

  34. mkross says:

    I love the Tombow liquid glue and the Neenah solar white cardstock is fabulous.

  35. Karina D. says:

    I use my foam tape all the time! I have yet to use the Neenah cardstock but have heard from a few people other than you that it’s great!

  36. Carol R. says:

    The cardstock that I use the most is from Papertrey Ink. I like their perfect match inks.

  37. carol says:

    Absolutely LOVE Neenah 110lb card stock, but it’s difficult to find locally and expensive to have it shipped to Canada. I watch for sales….Thank you, again, for the wonderful video…

  38. sSherylH says:

    Love the Be Creative Tape for its ease in use and its strength.

  39. Tina Kloepfer says:

    My fav is the Quilled Creations Precision Tip. I haven’t had any major issues with it clogging which is great! It dispenses the teeniest amount of matte medium which is fantastic for delicate diecuts 🙂

  40. Debra D. says:

    I do like the Ranger Multi Medium Matte with the quill tip. Thanks for the tip regarding use of the thin pin. Love to hear what works for you.

  41. Betty N says:

    My favourite paper is Gina K Cardstock – great quality. Thank you for an awesome series. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

  42. Donna D. Fife says:

    I have used GinaK and Papertrey Ink papers for years. Both are great quality and beautiful colors. I like GinaK’s heavyweight card stock because Copics don’t bleed through.

  43. Michele says:

    I like Gina K and Neenah the best. Thanks for the video’s. 🙂

  44. Kay Boone says:

    Well, I love all the new ideas you showed here—new to me, anyway. I think the two things I will want to try first are the Stick It paper and the glue pen. Love your videos.

  45. Beverly U says:

    I like the Tombow stamp runner also. Thank you for showing the best way to load the refill

  46. Judy M says:

    Scor-Tape, hands down, is my very favorite adhesive. Love Neenah 110lb solar white. I also love both the Hammermill 100lb and 80lb digital cover. Super white, smooth, and at a much more affordable price point than the Neenah (which is good whenever I make mistakes). Not sure whether I should buy the quill tip. I hate tips getting clogged, so I think I’ll stick with the larger Multi-Medium Matte jar and use toothpicks 🙂 Enjoy your holidays!

  47. Katie Sterry says:

    I have just recently learned just how awesome Neenah Solar white really is! You hit the nail on the head Jennifer when you talked about how crucial the right paper is for the medium you are using!! I almost gave up on my Spectrum Noir markers until I started using Neenah cardstock! Thank you so much for the great tips and chances to WIN!!!

  48. Nita K. says:

    I really love the SSS white card stock. I use it the most for making cards.

  49. Raquel Castro says:

    I love Bazzill Prismatic in White. It looks great with my non stark white papers and love that. But for my stark white paper lines nothing beats my AC white cardstock. I am a scrapbooker that dabbles in card making usually for christmas cards so textured cardstock is my favorite. Adhesive I love dot adhesive because its so forgiving. Brand? I’m not very loyal… sometimes Scrapbook adhesives, sometimes Scotch. Wet adhesive it love my multi matte medium by ranger and my scotch quick dry.

  50. Martye says:

    No mention of Kraft paper? That is actually what I was looking for.
