    I’ve been using Nuvo Deluxe adhesive with good results. The Nuvo glue pen is also good for small area. I’ve used Scotch adhesive runner for years, but refills have become ridiculously expensive.

    Firstly thank you for the work you put into this…to save us from having to! Second …do you have any preferences for coloured cardstock with regards to cracking…I often make boxes, or the little lawn fawn gift bag…or even the odd weird sized envelope…and it really is discouraging when the cardstock cracks on the folds, and yet I like to use cardstock for the strength….any suggestions?

    As a Stampin’ Up demonstrator, I use there card stock.
    when it comes to adhesives, I use the Tombow
    runner. Has a good size, the tape holds firmly,
    and the handle is comfortable. Thanks for
    your recommendations.
