GREAT video!! I agree with 99% of your favorite and/or most used craft supplies. The Teflon Bone Folder is an absolute MUST have. The "marks" that crafters refer to when using a non-teflon bone folder is actually a shiny (sheen) that results when creasing colored card stock. Not only is it visible, but you can also feel the sheen it leaves on the card stock! Glad to see I'm not the only one who has trouble with the Signo white pens - they are wonderful when the work properly, but so aggravating when they don't - LOL!! Tape runners of all kinds fall into the 1% category of items that I absolutely refuse to use. I've had them all - big to small - and they are a total waste of time and money for me. Living in a tropical climate, I have found that liquid glue is the best choice for me. Reptile Glue, Gina K. Connect Glue, and Bearly Art Glue are three that I reach for most often. I put all three brands of glue into three small, fine tipped plastic bottles that are readily available on my desk at all times. A little goes a long way to secure paper and embellishments to your projects. Tip: to avoid clogging, lay the small bottles on their side. If clogs do happen, keep a clean stainless steel pin at the ready. Three suggested items that were not mentioned, that I use every day are: 1) Magnetic bowl (found at Harbor Freight or probably Amazon). These magnetic bowls are GREAT for keeping the metal dies you're using corralled into one place; great for keeping your magnets, stainless steel pins, and any other metal items where you can easily find them. 2) 6" T-Square Ruler - fabulous tool to line up sentiments, card panels, embellishments, etc.. I'm terrible at "eyeballing" anything, so for me, the T-Square is a must have!! 3) Thin round foam dots for giving a little lift to sentiments, card panels, etc... Most of the foam dots and/or foam tape is way too thick. Found the thin dots on Amazon and they are absolutely perfect for giving just the right amount of "lift" to card projects. One item that I have not tried, but would enjoy hearing your opinion on, is the new "Precision Glue Press". And one last comment - - I'm a "paper trimmer snob". Bet I've spent a rather large fortune on at least 90+ paper trimmers over the years. If I knew then, what I know now about trimmers, I would purchase the RotoTrim 15 inch Professional Paper Cutter ($238 on Amazon). Moral of the story - buy the best you can afford and you will never have an issue with jagged edges or wonky cuts!! Just my two cents - LOL!!
Hi PippyKatStamper. Welcome! Thanks for watching and posting such a thoughtful reply! I totally agree about the white pens, I have a love/hate relationship with them. I have not tried a magnetic bowl, but I have seen many craty youtubers use them and rave about them so thanks for the tip! Also I JUST got a T ruler in 6" so I couldn't include it this year but we'll see how it goes! Regarding foam dots, I generally pick them up from Dollar Tree. If I need a specific thickness that I don't have, I use stacked scrap paper and stack to the desired thickness (a Jennifer McGuire trick). Finally, regarding the Glue Press, I don't have one, but I've been considering it because I've recently developed hand issues. Unfortunately, outside of paid inflirncers, I have not heard good feedback. Let me know if you try it. I have not heard of that trimmer, but I'm sure it gives you a great cut, but unfortunately its out of my price range. Thank you so mich for your time and input, I hope you stop by again! : )
I loved this. Thanks for sharing your favorite crafty tools I have to agree with all these items I need to purchase Tim holtz guliliteine trimmer most of them I use as well ❤❤❤❤
NEW HERE. GREAT JOB ON YOUR REVIEW OF, CRAFT SUPPLIES!!!! THANKS!!!! ** i BOUGHT THE LARGE SCORE BOARD, BECAUSE IN MY AREA THE STORES DIDN'T HAVE THE SML. ONES. WELL, FUN, MINE IS IN IT'S PACKAGEAGING STILL, ASWELL. Do take care. Fl.
So comprehensive and very informative! I have most of these but I definitely need the large tape runner, I only have the small ones. Also just invested in a stamp positioner since my stamping was never pristine. So far it’s better but I still do prefer die cutting. This was one of the best videos I’ve seen with great recommendations! Ty.
I’m so glad you found it helpful. I totally agree, if I have a choice I absolutely choose die cutting over stamping any day. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment 😃
You could have colored gems if you color your clear gems with alcohol markers. I have most of what you have some are different brands, but I don't have the wax tip jewel picker or the black glaze pen. Thanks for the video.
So sorry about that. I mostly use Accent Opaque 120lb or 80lb, depending on what I'm working on. I also love Bristol Smooth, but its pricy in comparison. Thanks for watching!
hello, first time watcher and i loved the way you presented these products and your thoughts on each. i would love to know how i might find Gloria Wolf’s store or channel for the jeweled tool decorated items. thank you
Welcome. I’m so glad you enjoyed the comment. I believe you can contact Gloria on instagram under her name. Let be know if you can reach her that way. I met her watching lives in a UA-cam Chat room, so that’s how she told me to contact her
I use most of what you use. I love the Art Glitter glue and fine tip small bottles from Gina K. What kind of paper do you use? Happy and healthy New Year.
Happy New Year! Great minds think alike...lol. I mostly use Accent Opaque 120lb or 80lb, depending on what I'm working on. I also love Bristol Smooth, but its pricy in comparison. TFW😊
Great video, thank your u for sharing. Do you have a tip on the best way to clean the glue eraser? No matter how much time I spend peeling it it never goes back clean.
Hummmm...if you lose power ..no light?? Wrong.. You can buy the light bulbs that are used like regular light bulbs in a lamp..BUT if the power goes out the light bulb works cause it has been charging in the lamp!! I have 3 in my craft room... just in case! I also have a camping solar lamp... Just sayin' .. no need to stop crafting!!

Great video, thank your u for sharing. Do you have a tip on the best way to clean the glue eraser? No matter how much time I spend peeling it it never goes back clean.
Using your small detail scissors, gently trim away the black "goobers" to reveal a clean glue eraser. 🙂
I use the same methos as PippyKatStamper! A little trim generally will do the trick Thanks for watching!
Agree! thanks for your help!
I too have the Stamp Perfect platform. I refuse to pay the exorbitant price of a misti.
The Stamp Perfect is awesome. So glad I was able to grab it when it was available. It’s sad that our options are so limited now. TFW😃
Painters tape is a lot cheaper than the highlighter tape, in my opinion works better too
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try!
Hummmm...if you lose power ..no light?? Wrong.. You can buy the light bulbs that are used like regular light bulbs in a lamp..BUT if the power goes out the light bulb works cause it has been charging in the lamp!! I have 3 in my craft room... just in case! I also have a camping solar lamp... Just sayin' .. no need to stop crafting!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching 😃
