    Thank you Jennifer. I love your series on “My Favorite Crafty Things”. You continue to inspire so many people!

  9. Deepa Lakshman says:

    Thanks for this video Jennifer. I was waiting to see this edition of tools since Tim Holtz came out with the travel glass mat. You are a great enabler and I love watching your videos.

  10. Margaret Marshall says:

    I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos.

  11. Lana Bennett says:

    I am new to your wise videos!LOL You have such great insights and I look forward to watching your videos. Thank you for doing this series. There are SO many products out there, it’s nice to have someone knowledgeable to weed through it all. I would love to win this gift card so I can buy some of your recommendations 🙂

  12. Karen Walker says:

    Over the last few years of these wonderful year-end videos, I’ve acquired many of these tools, BUT I always learn something new every time you create one of these videsos! Thanks!!!

  13. Judy M says:

    I never seen the electronic erasing tool. I use the Mono sand eraser but I should upgrade!

  14. Lisa Lounsbury says:

    I really need to get the hand vac. It would be soooo much easier than lugging out our big vacuum. I’m really messy especially when die cutting so the hand vac would be “handier”.
    I’ve also been eyeing the glass mat. My work surface is fairly small so the travel size would be perfect.
    Thanks so much for taking the time to share all these great products with us.

  15. LaurieMorton says:

    I love your annual favorites videos! I get overwhelmed with all of the choices available and appreciate having a place to help narrow down the options. I really like that you explain why you like the items you tell us about.

  16. Sheryl A Bishop says:

    Jennifer, your blogs and videos are the best! I have been crafting for decades but never did cards until I started watching you and now cannot stop…thanks for your inspiration and please don’t stop!!

  17. Annette Reed says:

    You definitely have some great items on this list. Many I already have. Some are on order. I don’t have a Misty but do have the Tim Holtz stamping platform. I’m wondering what is better about the Misty?

    1. Henriëtte says:

      I wonder if you can use the Creative Corners from the Misty in the Tim Holtz stamping tool?

      1. Nancy Mensch says:

        I use the them in my Tim Holtz stamping tool.

  18. Sophie says:

    I have most of your favorite items. I follow you way too long. XD

  22. Lori Coffelt says:

    Thank you for your favorite things videos. I am just getting started in card making and these help me know what to add to my supplies. I really like the glass mat and think that will be my next investment. Appreciate the help.

  23. Susana Herrejón says:

  25. Carolyn says:

    Thanks for creating these lists. I so appreciate your opinion and expertise.
    All the best of the season to you and yours!

  26. Lynne Hoglund says:

    I love your videos, and I am going to get that SSS transparency. I use the SU stamparatus, and the transparency will be a tremendous help lining up sentiments. It is out of stock at the moment, I will also use your recommendations in choosing the blending brushes. My wish list also has the Teflon bone folder on it, Jennifer you are a wee bit of an enabler! lol

  27. Another great “episode”! LOL Thank you for all you do, Jennifer. I have at least some of the tools you mentioned. One other I use a lot is the EK Success cross-lock tweezers. I like that they clamp so I don’t have to keep applying pressure to keep them closed. Hope y’all have a very Merry Christmas, and a great day in the meantime! 🙂 ~ Andrea

  28. Mary Holshouser says:

    Love to try new tools – some I continue to use
    and some I feel like I’ve wasted my money.

    couple I have to try. thanks for sharing

  40. z0elim says:

    Greetings from Singapore. Thanking God for your kindness in sharing your gift and asking Him to bless you and your family! I really love all the amazing ideas and ways to make a card, and I am so thankful that you are sharing them. I have bought a lot from SSS with the things you recommended. My kids love the creative tool and the glitter fiskars scissors, I also got the other fiskars scissors with the spring that you recommended last year. I am still learning use to the AI stamp positioner properly…. I bought the wagner heat gun, without checking the voltage and I can’t use them in Singapore (need a voltage transformer that cost twice amount of the heat gun) so thank God I didn’t go ahead and buy the Royal Sovereign laminator! phew! 🙂 I found that I couldn’t get most of the things you recommended in Singapore though, esp the 110 lbs Neenah paper, so grateful that SSS and other stores ship to Singapore! Wishing you & your family a joyous Christmas & a blessed New Year! 🙂

  41. Julie L says:

    I love my mini Misti and my travel-size Tim Holtz stamp platforms. And I use the same Tim Holtz trimmer. Years ago I bought the big Fiskars trimmer with sliding rail that has a “lifelong” blade after seeing your video. . Unfortunately it doesn’t make a clean cut so I only use it on large pieces and then trim them down with the TH trimmer.

  42. I’m having a blast binging on your past favorites videos and your current ones ……… I LOVE gadgets!!!!

  46. Sandra F. says:

    I really like watching you “Favorite Things” videos each year. Thanks for all the great ideas. There are so many items out there that it’s nice to see your recommendations.

  47. Stephanie Jager says:

    I love your “Favorite Things” videos. I respect your opinion on the items and the price points, which are very useful in helping me make decisions on purchasing some of the items. Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year!

  49. kriswatkins says:

    Thanks, Jennifer for this video series. I have quite a few tools already, but am ready to take my stamping to a new level with some of these gems!

  50. Jessica O. says:

    I wish I had had this valuable advice when I first started card making…it would’ve saved me so much money. Now, my biggest piece of advice to new crafters is “watch JM’s videos!”
