    Jennifer,
    I have to say the card stock I’ve been using and like is the Strathmore Bristol and Ranger Multi Medium Adhesive.

    I use a scrapbook adhesive tape runner as my go to adhesive, and right now since I’m new to the game, I use Avery prescored cards with matching envelopes. I can’t wait until I can invest in some other card stock and a snowboard and start making my own card bases.

    I use Recollections 110 lb white and ivory for Card bases and Bristol Smooth White for stamping and blending. I use Stampin’ Up colored Card stock, too. My favorite wet adhesive is Art Glitter Glue, but I also use double sided score tape. Thanks for all the information.

    I have been using just the card stock and adhesive found at craft stores (Michaels/Hobby Lobby/etc) but haven’t been thrilled with any of them. I find the thickness of the paper to be lacking. I’d really like to try out the brands you’ve recommended to see if they are a better fit for my needs. After watching your videos where you use watercolor paper when using your markers I really want to get some watercolor paper of my own to try out.

    Oh and glitter paper that cuts well and doesn’t shedd glitter everywhere is amazing!! I put that on my Christmas list!

    For the most part on cardstock, I use Gina K. Sometimes I use other kinds, but that one is always my first choice. For adhesive, I use mono-dot adhesive mostly Tombow. Sometimes I use Tombow wet adhesive in the green bottle, but usually a tape runner. I love having choices.

    Hi, Thanks for all the helpful videos and all the time it takes to put them together! The adhesive I have been using since 2000 is Tombow mono adhesive. I use Stampin Up and My Favorite Things colored cardstock. In the last couple years I have been using more and more of the MFT cardstock. The same as you, I prefer the Neenah Classic Crest cardstock when working with white cardstock.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks to you I have fallen in love with the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and it is now my go-to paper. Stamping on quality paper really does make all the difference in the world. I use both the 110# and 80# papers; one for card bases and the other for layering. (I have to admit I was SHOCKED when I ordered both the 110# and 80# and saw the HUGE difference in the size of the packages. I laughed out loud, literally.) Thanks so much for continuing to make this informational series; I’ve learned so much from you over the years. You’re like my personal Encyclopedia For Paper Crafting…lol. I hope you’re having a wonderful week and that you and your family have a joyous Christmas season. ~HUGS~

    I use Neenah Classic Crest solar white for white, and a mix of Gina k and MFT for colors. I almost always use Be Creative Tape and Ranger multi matte medium. I have the Kokuyo long dot runner. I just started crafting this year and the amount of products out there was a bit overwhelming. You favorites of 2016 saved me a lot of trial and error. I know this is a lot of work, but it is truly appreciated!
