  1. Holly Klingensmith says:

    I use my tape runner all the time, or for wet adhesive I love glossy accents.

  2. Zina says:

    Neenah White papers !!!

  3. Erin MacDonald says:

    Love my Ranger multi media matte!

  4. Lisa Ayala says:

    I love this video series! I would have to say that my favorite adhesive is the Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

  5. milleraj says:

    I love the Be Creative Tape! Could not be without it!

  6. Barbara Lambe says:

    My favorite paper is Nina Solar White, but I do use the less expensive (much) index paper for just die cutting.

  7. Eby P says:

    I like Neenah cardstock. In terms of adhesive – it depends on what I am doing. I love Ranger multi matte for when I need a “wet” glue because it dries fast and doesn’t show if it leaks out. I like my tombow runner adhesive for my everyday stuff. I like the be creative tape for the tough jobs.

  8. Carol says:

    favorite paper is bristol, adhesive would be multi medium and tape runner. . . .

  9. Kathy Lewis says:

    The Ranger Multi Medium Matte is the best, but I sure wish they sold bigger bottles.

  10. Donna Nuce says:

    I love the Tim Holtz watercolor paper. I love to do no line watercolors and this paper works well for that.

  11. Sophia B says:

    Definitely the Neenah was a game changer for me! Bristol I love for my Zig Realbrush markers, will have to try colored pencils on it. Thanks for this series of videos!

  12. Kristina Beagle says:

    Sooo I totally have a whole 250 ream of the wrong Neeanah paper LOL guess I’ll be using it for card bases, explains why my stamping hasn’t looked so hot lately. I go between the tombow rape runner and the scotch glue glider, but the scotch is pretty big and annoying to store

  13. Melissa Creamer says:

    I love MFT cardstock and SSS cardstock. Most of my cardstock on hand is SSS. I really like Tombow adhevise. I have a couple different color Tombow runner adhesives. Depends on what’s instock when I need refills. Towbow Mono liquid adhesive also works great too!

  14. Jo-Anne says:

    My favorite is the Tim Holtz water color paper.

  15. Raegan Werts says:

    I love using the Bristol paper with my zig clean color real brush markers. The pair together are amazing.

  16. Andrea says:

    My favorite paper is from papertreyink and my favorite adhesive is 3m tape runner.

  17. deb pereira says:

    My favorite colored cardstock is Papertrey Ink and my favorite, most used adhesive is multi medium matte.

  18. Ali Moore says:

    Neenah cardstock is amazing!

  19. Becky M says:

    I quite like the Papertrey Ink cardstocks, but I haven’t tried out too many other brands. I just got some My Favorite Things that I’m thinking up a project for and would like to try the SSS or Gina K sometime too! The matching inks for all of them tempt me so much!

  20. Another great informative video. The Multi Medium is hands down my favorite of all these adhesives. I use it a lot, bought the small bottle to try it out and from now on will be buying the larger bottle. I use it on all kinds of projects with a lot of different types of mediums. Love that stuff. Thanks!

  21. Toni Gillette says:

    I love the Neenah paper best and I love the tombow and Multi Medium Matte is a wonderful product. Thanks again Jennifer for all your info!

  22. Millicent says:

    Thank you for this video and my favorite adhesive’s tombow tape runner.

  23. Marie says:

    Hi Jen, every day I use my precision glue tip. Love it for small die cuts or to finish up a larger project, to make sure all edges are perfectly sealed. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

  24. Jackie P. says:

    I like the glossy accents but have just bought the multi-media matte. Haven’t had a chance to even use it yet. I do also like the tombow all purpose. This is all wet adhesive and haven’t yet found a dry adhesive that I love. May have to try the tombow or the fast fuse from stampin up as I have seen and heard great things about that. Thanks for sharing all your tips and expertise. Greatly trusted and appreciated by many!

  25. Cyndi - DreamsUnltd says:

    Need to get some of the heat resistant acetate! Love the Gina K metallic papers and will order that soon as well. And the Stick It adhesive is one of the best things ever for intricate die cuts!

  26. Charlotte C says:

    I have now gotten the Neenah CS, but in the past I’ve been a Stampin Up CS fan all the way. I like solid core CS, and Cricut also makes a great CS. And the Bristol paper I love with my Zigs. I think all the adhesives you mention I own too. The tape runner is great but not very cost effective to me so I mostly use my ATG to adhere layers to card bases – even layers that I’ve applied craft foam to. And I must say Ranger Multi Medium Matte has saved me from pulling out my hair numerous times. Thanks for the chance to win, and I hope your holiday was beautiful.

  27. Elvira says:

    Great information, Thank you

  28. Kazoomi says:

    Tombow Stamp Runner is great, thanks for getting me started using this!

  29. Candy says:

    I love the Be Creative tape! (Though I wish it had measurement lines printed on the backing paper.)

  30. Clearly, you have better taste in paper and adhesive than I do! I don’t think I’ve ever tried the ones you mentioned, though it was because of you that I discovered that there are matte adhesives out there (lifesaver!) I also have started using craft foam in my projects in addition to little foam adhesive squares. It does make such a difference!

  31. I have started to use the multi matte glue and really like it, I was one of those people that saw the Neena cardstock at office max and bought a whole ream of it and was disappointed when I found out it wasn’t the same 🙁

  32. jbatik2000 says:

    I love Neenah Solar White Card Stock and Ranger Multi Medium Matte. Can’t live without those.

  33. Terri Conrad says:

    I’ve never used Neena so would be interested in trying it! My adhesives go to is the Multi Medium Mat…. Love it!! Love Gina K as well, still have to try her papers. Thanks Jennifer for another info video. It’s greatly appreciated!!!

  34. Pandy Wilson says:

    Love sparkle cardstock and recently bought Neenah cardstock. Love the smooth finish!

  35. StickIt Adhesive Sheets are my favorite and I have Jennifer to thank for suggesting these. They are the only way to adhere intricate die cuts to my cards and not get frustrated! Thank you, Jennifer! I would love the chance to try the Neenah cardstock, thank you!

  36. melissa b says:

    I love neenah white paper for stamping and copic coloring. As for as adhesives go, I love foam tape! The giant roll from Scotch is on my wish list since I go through the stuff like crazy!

  37. Amy Klin says:

    My favorite cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

  38. Lisa Silver says:

    I’ve always loved my ATG adhesive. I like the volume of tape you get from one roll and how it’s permanent. Thanks for a great video!

  39. lvshelly1 says:

    My favorite adhesive is Art Glitter glue

  40. Vera Yates says:

    I am a big fan of MFT cardstock. Love their quality!

  41. MindyH says:

    Love the Neenah white cardstock – have used it a couple of years based on your recommendation.

  42. Amy Ames says:

    Thanks for another awesome informative video!! My favorite cardstock is the Neenah classic crest solar white cardstock and my favorite adhesive is the tombow tape runner. I’m very excited to get some of the stampin up thin foam adhesive strips!!

  43. Hanh says:

    I love the Tombow adhesive. I have not had the luxury of splurging on Neenah cardstock but would love to try it.

  44. Cecilia says:

    Defnitely the Neenah 110lb cardstock. Working through my old stock of different shades of white cardstock after which I will stick to one ? Thank you for being an inspiration.

  45. Mel H says:

    Be creative tape and Bristol smooth is hard to beat!!!

  46. Chris says:

    The Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive is awesome!

  47. My favorite is the Bristol paper. I love blending Tim Holtz Distress Inks using this paper. It seems easier to blend the colors into this paper for me compared to others where I usually have harsh lines. My favorite adhesive is the Ranger Multi Matte Medium. After you featured it in your videos, I started using it myself. Thanks for sharing your favorites. It helps us make our own choices with our craft supplies.

  48. Jennifer, I have to thank you. My mom & I have been making blank baby albums for expectant/new mothers we know for some years now. They cover the baby’s first year, and all the mother has to do is adhere the photos–we do all the rest of the decorative work! I had been looking for a good tape runner for my mom to use when we make these, since she adheres all the paper pieces down to the pages. She could never seem to get the hang of my ATG gun (which I personally LOVE). I finally–based on your opinion/recommendation of it–got her the Tombow Stamp Runner. She loves it!!! She is able to use it with no struggle, and it works like a charm. So thank you for including that in your videos! Of the products you showed today, my personal favorite is the Stick It adhesive sheets. They are fantastic–I can’t say enough how much I love them! You are also fantastic! Thank you infinitely for all you do for us crafty folk! 🙂 ~ Andrea

  49. Mary Guikema says:

    Another fabulous series. I look forward to these videos every year. It’s nice to know that I get honest opinions on products before I have to invest in them. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these.

    I love my Tombow tape runner it always works great.
