    Thanks so much for doing this series again. I refer to it throughout the year.

  2. Laraine R says:

    Love these videos! You give lots of good advice on different products.

  3. I’m so happy to hear you’re switching to tape runners that have refills. I personally prefer the ATG adhesive gun, mostly because the adhesive lasts for quite a few projects, & I can get third-party refills for less $$$ than the name brand. Plus, there seems to be relatively little waste. But I do realize it’s not for everyone. 🙂 Thank you for doing these really informative videos. They really help to cut through the “clutter,” and narrow down choices for products. Also, I like that you explain WHY you choose what you do. Anyway, thanks again. Take care, & have a great day! 🙂 ~ Andrea

    You are right GinaK makes a great adhesive. However, it is way too expensive for the average person who has to make lots of cards. I donate my cards to a missionary gift shop and since adhesives are crucial, I was using Gina K. I finally discovered that I could put PVA (excellent adhesive) in the Gina K dispensers for about 1/16th the price.
