My Favorite Crafty Things 2019: CRAFTY TOOLS

Hello! Welcome back to My Favorite Crafty Things 2019! Today I am chatting about crafty tools.

Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing my favorite crafty products of 2019. Each post will have a different topic with a video. If you haven’t checked out THIS video, please do so – it explains how the series works.

I have lots to share, including big giveaways (see below) and even store discounts (some are exclusive!) from several of my favorite stores. I will be updating this list if more offers come in…

Let’s focus on crafty tools…

    Great video. I have been stamping for over 20 years but still learn new things from everyone of your videos. I like the suggestion of passing these along as gift guides, but may I suggest that you start them earlier in the season? Or, perhaps you could post them more frequently. Thanks for all you do!

    I love your “My favorite crafty things” videos. Thank you so much for doing them. I have most items on your list this year for the tools, lol. I fell in love with the blending brushes, that was a real game changer for me. With so many products on the market today, it’s always nice to have an honest opinion about them. Merry Christmas to you & your family!

    Can I use that for straightening my cardstock like you did with the laminator?

  17. Lagene says:

  20. KT Fit Kitty says:

    I always look forward to seeing your favourite crafty tools! Thankfully I already own most of these tools (or something similar) as money is tight after hubby’s stroke last year. I think I told you before that I call my Hand Vac my “Jennifer McGuire” – I named it after you since I bought it on your suggestion a few years ago, and it is just perfect to clean up my craftroom. I later bought one for someone as a gift! Thanks also for the discount codes – I used the Simon code a couple weeks ago! Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you for all the inspiration and videos you provide!

  21. Karen Grove says:

    Thank you for these videos. My Christmas list is quickly growing with all these goodies you suggest. In order to take advantage for the holidays, I asked my husband for gift cards to SSS, MFT, and ELH. When I open them on Christmas morning I’ll already have my list of wants/needs ready. 🙂

  22. Joni J. Seith says:

  27. Debbie Robertson says:

    Love your videos, never had any idea there were so many great companies out there. But because of you and your great videos I purchase as much as I can. You are a true inspiration. God bless you and your family

  30. Diane Hanson says:

    How to pick just one tool? I use many of these tools and would be hard pressed to make cards without my Misti platform and Connect glue.

  31. Always look forward to your Crafty Things Tools list!! Thanks so much for ALL the fabulous Crafty Things videos you’ve done for 2019 – they are really helpful and I always come away with so many ideas, tips and tricks!!

  34. Avrawill says:

    My favorite new tip today was a simple one! To stick the little white mat from the glass media mat to the bottom of the glass mat! Now – if I can only find it…

  35. Coastal Crafting says:

    Love to see your lists every year. I always pick up great gift opportunities and many bargains too. Thank you for taking the time to put these together for us.

    What wonderful recommendations! Thanks for investing the time to create this series once again to share with us. Truly a labor of love.

  43. Cyndi Morris says:

    I sometimes forget how much I’ve learned from you over the years. Based on your recommendations, I have many of the tools you recommend and I’m pleased with most all of them. (I can’t imagine my craft room without Press ‘N Seal!) I , too, have been a little disappointed in the Creative Detailer, but you’re probably right — maybe I’m asking too much of it.

  44. viera s says:

    Fantastic video as usual. Thank you!

  45. Claire Gagne says:

    Boy, my list has gotten pretty massive with this series Jennifer! A tremendous amount of usefullness in each and every series. TY for all you time, & these are surely timely to make. They are surely welcomed at this end. TYFS

  46. tuckssis says:

    Thanks for another great update on Crafty Tools. I am a fan of anything that makes crafting easier and better ( I think I inherited the love of gadgets from my Dad). When I am in need of a new “tool”, I always look to see what you recommend or use, not because I think you are an expect, but because I know that you have tried many and will always give an impartial and honest opinion. Thank you for that. I wish you and your family a blessed Holiday!

  47. Isabel Z says:

    I love your video series because it introduces me to products that are new to me. Thank you.

  48. Amy Cooley says:

    Thanks for sharing your favorite crafty tools. I’m adding the Fiskars Paper Trimmer and Waffle Flower Watercolor Mat to my wishlist.

  49. Jean K says:

    My Simon Says Stamp project list keeps getting longer, thanks to your awesome videos!

  50. Suzi Metcalfe says:

    I did see a few small things I NEED. Hopefully, I’ll be able to come back after Christmas and cross these off my list. Thanks for taking the time!
