    Great information as always. I use Neenah cardstock and it really does make a difference for stamping and blending compared to ‘other’ card stocks. The holographic cardstock is lovely, but when you embossed it, it just brought it to life-love that 3d embossing folder. Thanks so much for the time you spend putting these videos together.

  17. I’ve been stamping for many, many years and I remember when I started everyone sold the heavier cardstock for cards and over time it seemed to get lighter and lighter. Glad to see that the heavier cardstocks are selling again.

  30. Lisa A creations says:

    Thank you so much for all this information you provide. I know it’s a lot of work, but it’s soooo helpful. I didn’t know about the importance of good quality paper until I purchased a paper pack from SSS. It’s not until you see and feel the difference that you fully understand the importance.

  31. Jen Petersen says:

    Great post! I especially loved seeing those gray cardstocks all together for color comparison. I have been wanting to get a good gray paper to try out. This helped me know which to put on my wish list.

  34. jyu says:

    Oh I love the look of the vellum paper – can’t wait to try it! Also Thank you for telling us about couture creations detailer tool! I think that she be every crafters basic tool to have!

  37. Stephanie Mayer says:

    So happy that I use most of the same cardstock you have list. I do want to try the HA black cardstock.

  38. Stephanie Mayer says:

    I wanted to ask about the glue. Are the GinaK and LF glues the same formula? I use them both and they seem very similar to me. I also use Nuvo Deluxe when I don’t need a fine tip..

  39. cindym says:

    I look forward to this series each year + always find it helpful. tthanks so much\!

  40. Judy M says:

    My go-to glue as of late is good ol’ Mod Podge in matte. I pour it into small quilling bottles and that has worked out so well for me. I also love that Gina K has papers/envelopes match her inks. That’s such a great idea!

  41. Kristen Chalmers says:

    Couldn’t live without my connect glue. My favorite!

  42. Wheezie says:

    Totally LOVE your “Crafty Things” series of videos! I’ve always been a huge Kokuyo fan; also love Gina’s Connect glue! I can tell you, if by some miracle I win the SSS $25, I’m going to get the Brutus Monroe Flower Doodle Background Stamp. I’ve been loving that stamp since I first saw it on your video! Thank you for being so amazing and sharing your awesome talents with us.

  43. Mary Schmidt says:

    So much to choose from. I love it all! Thanks for going this series. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  44. Vikki H says:

    So many good ideas on this subject – thank you! I’ve been using color envelopes more due to your influence and notice how the pizazz they add to my cards.

  45. Jennifer Rasnick says:

    Well my wish list just grew. I’m hoping to get my order placed tomorrow.

  46. Woodworth Valerie says:

  49. Kerry D. says:

    Apparently everyone really loves the Hero Arts Pitch Black cardstock because it is always seems to be out of stock! I have been trying to get my hands on the for months now. Thank you for the work you put into these videos, and all your other videos too, but I always look forward to these in particular!

  50. SJ says:

    I’m late to the party but recently ordered GinaK connect glue. I like liquid glue so I have a few seconds to get things lined up.
