Can you believe that this is the last day of the year? It seems to go faster and faster each year and I always thought that as you get older….things would seem slower! (hopefully this makes sense)
Today I wanted to go down that lane I like…."Memory Lane" and I thought that it would be fun to talk about Stampin' Up! products that we simply loved over this year and could not be without!
I am going to be focusing on things that I used more this year than previously as it taught me that the basics are always the best to fall back to!
I think that we all get super excited when we learn a new craft, cooking skill, gardening technique etc….and we want to take that BIG DIVE in and if you are like me – this is what I do and then I feel like I have to have everything and then after I get everything I look at it and say…."What do I do with this or Why did I buy this???"
Does this sound familiar/ Below is a quick, short list to items that I think are great basics that are all under $10.00 and I will say that I found myself using each and everyone of these more and more this year!
All you need to do is leave me a comment letting me know some of your favorites…I LOVE when we get to read all of the comments…it is so interesting to see what makes each of us shine!
The below candy shows a "goodbye" to a Stamp Set that is just FABULOUS…a brand new clear mount set and a "hello" to a set of color swatches for the NEW upcoming paper collections.
This Blog Candy is part #1 (the LAST DAY of the year and then I will do a part #2 with another offering for the FIRST DAY of the year and on Friday I will announce the winner!
Here are the items that I found to be "go to's" that I used more this year than before! (They are in no particular order and you can see the items if you click on the pictures at the end of the post) Items # 9 & #10 are things that I highly recommend that you always have on an order…these are lifesavers and the best basics!
- "Green Glue" – from the polls that I did this year, you all loved this to!
- Glue Dots – I fell in love with these this year…they are so fast and easy!
- Silicone Craft Mat – could not…would not be without it – works great when using the "green glue"
- Adhesive Remover – another little gem that made me smile…since I have been using the "green glue" more this year, I found that this works great for quick clean ups!
- Bakers Twine – I rarely used this before but now I just adore it…not only is it super affordable, it can bring a "plain jane" card to an instant WOW….glue dots are great with it as well and I can even make a bow! There are 10 different colors offered!
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink – Not only for the Blendabilities….it is simply the BEST BLACK INK around!
- White Gel Pen – a secret weapon to me….I just LOVE my dashes!
- Stampin' Pierce Mat – Since we have so many Photopolymer Stamps, these are the best to stamp on, especially if the stamped image is larger!
- Whisper White Paper – I cannot tell you how many time I run out of this…every month I say….make sure I order enough but I feel like I am always borrowing from my Stampin' friends ( My resolution is to always have a full back up…."just in case"
- Refill Blades for the Stampin' Trimmer – This is something that you always need to have extra! There is nothing more frustrating than cutting and discovering that you need to change your blade and you are out of them!
These are some of my favorites….how about YOU??? Just leave a comment and you will be in the "pot" to win the blog candy today and then on my 2nd post on January 1st – you will have another chance to win even more Blog Candy….handmade cards from me!
Thanks for popping by and always being so kind, supportive and always so helpful to one another! I always feel like we are one big family helping each other and sharing our love and passion for paper crafting!
Please do not forget to sign up for the Product Shares for the NEW catalog items…with this 1st wave, I am offering free bonuses for each offering…(I plan to order on the 6th) and I will send Pay Pal invoices out over the weekend as per SU policy, I need to collect before I can order on the 6th!
Feel free to email me and many thanks for your continued support! Happy New Year!
How about Stampin’ Mist? Need to have that on hand at all times. Also whisper white note cards.
Both favorites of mine. Your list is a good one.
The Whisper White Paper and the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink are my must haves, without a doubt. Oh and dimensionals, gotta have those to make things pop! Wishing you a wonderful New Year full of blessings!
Green glue for me too!
Dimensionals really help kick a card up to the next level. Thanks to you I use green glue more often than ever. I love it.
Must have bling. Stones and pearls.
I’ve used the “green” glue more this year and now keep an extra bottle in the house. The white gel pen is also a “must have”. Happy New Year, Susan!
I have been using quite a few glue dots here lately. So far, I do not have the Stampin’ Up trimmer, but I’ve been wondering about how long a cutting blade lasts. I also do not have the Memento Ink yet, since I only have two sets of Blendabilities, which I’ve only used for making colored gems and pearls. I have wished I had the silicon mat, lately, but I don’t have it yet.
I stamped on a different kind of white paper the other day, and really saw the difference compared to Stampin’ Up’s Whisper White! Sold!
Thanks for sharing your list! Good suggestions to keep in mind!
Happy New Year!
Cyberhugs!
I love the green glue. It allows me wiggle time with my card stock so it is straight and even.
Having white card stock, envelopes and black ink on hand is essential. You can create a clean, crisp card in no time. Add
your favorite bling (bakers twine/buttons) and you’re set.
Happy New Year!
I always have to have stampin dimensionals on hand….they can really add that little bit of wow to a card or project! Love your blog, Susan! Thanks for sharing your tips and ideas!
I couldn’t survive in crafting without our whisper white card stock. I’m guilty of buying the office store white card stock and saying this is much cheaper and my cards looked horrible. I wouldn’t use them at all. Won’t use any other kind now.
I am a full convert to the green glue.. how did I ever live without it? My other “tool” always on hand is my piercing tool… so handy to pick up those rhinestones and pearls and other bits… thanks for sharing!
Dimensionals are my go-to to make a card pop!
Dimensionals always provide that extra “wow” factor. Love them!!
I use green glue all the time and have gotten several of my girlfriends hooked on it. They all wonder what they did before. Sponges are another tool that I love that adds so much to a card with just a few delicate brushes.
Dimensionals are a “must” in my craft room at all times. I always have several extra packs on hand. Sometimes I’m just a poppin’ up fool! Some of my other go to’s are my trimmer (best on the market I think) and my paper pad. Can’t create without them!
Must have green glue, obsessed!
My “go to” items are white cardstock, black ink, dimensionals and adhesive.
The green glue and pop up dimensionals!!
My go to items are: Whisper White card stock [the best], green glue and dimensionals. I also keep the silicone mat nearby and I almost forgot, I do like a little bling!
I love the green glue (must have the adhesive eraser to go with it) and dimensionals.
Enjoy your blog, my daily go-to. I can’t stamp without using green glue, glue dots and the silicone pad. Of course my table is full of must-haves! Have a safe New Years.
The paper grid I would be lost without. Not only does it protect my work area, I am constantly using to measure layers, ribbon, dsp, ect.
Love your blog Susan and thank you for sharing with us.
Kathi R.
From your posts, I now use green glue much more as well as dimensionals. They add so much.
For me is the Tombo glue, dimenssionals and glue dots, they are the best adhesives around.
Thank you for the chance to win this great blog candy, Susan. I wish for you and your family the best for 2015, may it bring Love, Peace, Health and Joy.
My brayer. I don’t have much strength in my hands and I use it all the time. Naturally all my different kinds of glue.
My must haves are dimensionals and Whisper While card stock. I love your blog, thanks for sharing!
This is so appropriate because soon I will be retiring and scaling down in living space…so I have to pick out my top 10 favorites/must haves:
Trimmer, Score board, Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Very Vanilla (could not live without that basic cardstock), Sticky Tape, dimensionals, bone folder, clear blocks and last but not least my Stamp-a-ma-jig.
So many wonderful products…so hard to choose…
Have a Blessed New Year,
JoAnn
I don’t think I can pick just one so will go with three!! Tuxedo black memento ink, whisper white cardstock and dimensionals!!
I love my tuxedo black ink! But a few months back, I got my first white gel pen. I love it. I use it a lot, since I use a lot of black card stock. And I also love my wh. white cardstock too. Thanks, Susan, for this chance to win. Hugs Jess
Hands down, for me, is that awesome Green Glue. Put a dab on a wooden skewer or toothpick, let it dry and you have an instant “picker-upper” for sequins, buttons or when paper piecing. …and then my runner up is Dazzling Diamonds. Aaaahhh, its always better with glitter Ü
Such a great blog ~ Can’t wait for all your 2015 posts! Have a safe and happy New Years!
I have made very few cards without dimensionals. I really like the thicker ones in the Paper Pumpkin kits. I wish Stampin Up would sell those separately. I’m with you on the green glue. I used to use the snail on everything, but now I mainly use the multi.
Dimensionals, green glue, mini glue dots and I still love Stazon!
Tombow glue for sure and the silicone craft mat. I bought extras of both to keep at my craft table but also keep a set in a “crop” bag I travel to other places to craft with. Can’t be without either in my book!
Can’t live without my Stamp-a-ma-jig! And that green glue!
Dimensionals are my favorite to use on my cards, makes the cards look a little more classy.
If I have WW card stock, Memento Tuxedo black ink and pearls, I know I’m on the way to a classic card. I also LOVE using embossing folders.
Dimensionals are my favorites for making my cards, they make my cards look more classy.
I can never have enough of the Whisper White Card Stock and I just love the Silicone Mat. I also love the copolymer stamps and the Memento Tuxedo Black Stamp pad. I think I have too many favorites. Another real favorite is the Simple Stampin blog page. Love the ideas I get from Susan.
I just received the Stampin Up trimmer for Christmas and I must say it is great. Much better than my other cutters. Also, dimensionals are the best to make a card special.
The pearls and rhinestones are a favorite to use for me! But also my snips for close cuts!
My embossing folders are essential. Of course, that means Mr. Big has to also make an appearance.
Whisper White CS is a ” must have” as it goes with everything! I use dimensionals and glue dots to add that pop of interest without adding weight! Have an exciting New Year!
Dimensionals, the trimmer (the best ever), the craft scissors and your blog (the best ever also) are essentionals in my craft world! I look forward everyday to see what inspiration you have for me and reading your stories. And I like all the other items you mentioned too! Happy New Year to you and your family, Susan!
The paper trimmer is my must, but I just used my last replacement blade and realize it’s useless without blades. Also love all SU adhesives!
Love the glue dots and dimensionals and my envelope punch board and I love the clear envelopes to store/mail my cards in for sure! Happy New Year!
I use Dimensionals on nearly every card I make, so that would be my number 1 to never run out of. I also adore the Dazzling Diamonds as it gives such sparkle and it’s so quick and easy to use.
love my paper snips, green glue and dimensionals. LOVE the see thru stamps too! Want more 🙂
It’s fun to see what supplies other crafters use. I use my paper piercer a lot, glued dots and dimensionals are must haves and my stamp-n-scrub. I’m not big on Tombow, I find it to be messy, I prefer my ATG gun but I use Tombow occasionally. Happy Stampin’!
Happy New Year!!! Couldn’t do without my craft mat and my dimensionals.
Green glue and all of the SU dies. I love my dies. Happy New Year’s Susan!
I love the green glue also and have been using it more and more. Stampin Up’s dimensionals are the best! I love them more than any other brand. They are light in weight and just the right thickness.
Thank you Susan for your wonderful blog and mostly for the sharing of yourself and your life. It is a true joy!
My list is pretty much the same but I still use my snail, so I seem to have a few refills for that around as well. I agree with the comments about dimensionals, gotta have those too. My secret weapon is a black marker 🙂 Just in case you need to “touch up” a line. Thanks for sharing Susan, I can’t wait to read your post every day! May you and your family have a blessed New Year.
Green glue is by far my favorite glue & I loved your tip to let it set up slightly on small pieces before placing it on your piece.
Whisper White c/s, Snail, and dimensionals are three of my “must have on hand” items.
I agree–Baker’s Twine is an absolute essential, as is whisper white cardstock, as well as the SU bone folder for creating crisp edges when folding cardstock.
I think that my new favorite this year is the Memento Black ink, but I also always use the paper grid. Stampin’ Up! products are the best! Happy New Year Susan!
Dimensionals are a must for me, I always have 5 or 6 packs on my desk.I just recently started using the green glue and find that it works great too.
This is a tough question – especially with the $10 cut off! Green glue (which I started using after reading your blog – thanks), a ruler, whisper white and very vanilla card stock, and memento black ink. I don’t even have the classic black ink because I like the memento so much.
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy. A very happy and healthy 2015 to you and your family.
Great list, Susan…all the essentials. I have to say the adhesive remover is my best friend. It always comes through in a pinch.
Whisper White card stock and dimensionals are on the top of my “must have” list….there are so many others, but this is a start! Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year and looking forward to more of your creative ideas to be shared!
Thanks to Susan, I love the green glue and note cards especially Crumb Cake and of course dimensionals. Made lots of gifts for holidays with these 3 items this year.
Two other go to items for me are acrylic blocks and stamp cleaner. I have really enjoyed following your blog in 2014 and looking forward to what you have to share for 2015. Happy New Year to you and your family. TFS
I must have dimensionals! Happy New Year!
Whisper White is a definite must – but I also couldn’t do without the Stampin Up Trimmer. I love it!
I can’t do without my Stampin Up trimmer. I also hoard SU dimensionals and green glue. I use them every time I get my crafty on!
I love the adhesive eraser…I use it a lot (that says much about how messy I am!). Never thought such a funny little “glob” would become so beloved!
My list includes dimensials, whisper white card stock, embossing folders,snail adhesive,simply scored scoring tool,,stylus,,candy dots and many rhinestone jewels and pearls. Guess you could say I love all the stampin up products.
Please keep your cards and inspirational ideas coming!!
After using white cardstock paper I purchased at a big box store and being introduced to Stampin Up’s Whisper White and Very Vanilla I can’t believe I wasted my money on the cheap stuff. forever sold on these two solids and add pack of each whenever I order.
All sorts of bling, dimensionals, and that white pen that I learned from you that makes great stitching!
Your list is spot on! I would also add dimensionals and glue dots-love them! I had never used green glue before this year and I am a total convert, and have converted some friends too. Here’s wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!
It’s dimensionals for me – I use them on almost every card I make! Happy New Year to you….
Green Glue! Can’t live without it and rarely use tape anymore. So many other favorites but could not live without the green glue.
Have a Blessed New Year!
Thanks so much Susan for this blog candy. I’d love that Good Greeting Set. I’ve missed it twice. Anyway, my favorite items are the silicon craft sheet and dimensional.
A very Happy New Year to you and your family!
🙂
Glue dots and dimensionals for me! Glue dots for those tiny pieces and dimensionals to give my projects, well, dimension!
I rarely make a card without those great “Stampin Dimensionals” And, the green glue, in my opinion, is even better than sticky strip.
Good Morning, Susan. Happy New Year! My favorite item is more than $10.00, but I cannot stamp without it. I love the Stampin Trimmer. I’ve tried several others that I was able to purchase with coupons and they are in my garage sale pile. Start with the best and you won’t regret it! Happy New Year!!
What do I HAVE TO HAVE? Memento black ink, dimensionals, SU paper trimmer, snips, snail, embossing folders and my die cutting/embossing machine (I have two!)…love them all!!!!
I can’t live without my tape runner and stampin’ dimensionals. I’ve also gotten into always having bling on hand. Happy New Year!
I am one that needs things to be easy and quick, running after 2 boys most of the time. Pre-cut cards and envelopes are a must. As is Green glue and my little craft scissors.
Well, I am still a big user of my stamp-a-ma-jig…..even with clear stamps sometimes! Also glue dots & dimensionals. Both of these add interest & ease to making a fabulous card. My NEW item this year has been the “green glue”……all because of you, Susan. I tried it & found it to be great…..that little bit of “wiggle” sure helps. Thanks for a great year of ideas & inspiration……Happy New Year to you & your family.
Where are my dimensionals? Seems I am always asking that when they are right in front of me on the white paper covered table. ?. Also love the glue dots! Thanks Susan for sharing so freely with all of us!
Susan,
I agree with all your must haves!
I too have most of them. I love all the embossing folders. They help make a simple card look spectacular.
Happy new year and thanks once again for sharing your outstanding expertise with us.
Snips (I would be lost without my snips), glue, dimensionals, WW cardstock, Memento ink, markers.
Blessings!!!
Love, love, love the Whisper White cardstock – couldn’t live without it! I am new to your blog, and have found such interesting ideas and information. You have convinced me the envelope liners are a must have and I am now using the “green glue” even more! Thank you for your inspiration!
Wow! I have several of the same likes but was interested in the ones I haven’t used yet like the silicone mat! I also use the dimensionals a lot:). Thank you and Happy New Year?
I love the green glue and I use my stamp-a- ma-jig. Thanks for a chance for some candy!
I too am a “Green Glue” user. I like that it gives you some room for adjustment when positioning layers on a card. The Whisper White CS is my ‘go to’ card stock.
I love your list Susan, and you have some things listed that I never think of. I actually printed out your list to remind me! 🙂 I am a fanatic about cleaning my stamps as soon as I’m done. Not sure why, so I’d have to say the cleaning pad and Stampin’ Mist for me. And dimensionals. I love them. I’m using the green glue more and more, thanks to your posts and you’re right, it is a keeper! I have the adhesive remover, but you know what? I never used it! Now I can stop using my fingernail to get the itsy bits of glue off of my work surface. And that silicone mat? Have one too, and never used it. I will now. Thanks for every thing YOU do for us. Your blog is such an inspiration to me and your posts are always so upbeat and happy! Happy New Year…may 2015 be Blessed for you and your family.
I have started using the green glue! It is quickly becoming fav, but I have to go with dimensionals. As for blog candy, pick me! pick me! If not – Happy New Year and thanks for sharing this year!!
My number one item is green glue and dimensionals aren’t far behind. Thanks for this nice opportunity. Happy New Year!
Well I agree with most of the items you listed, and in the new year will try ordering the ones I don’t have. Don’t have the silicone mat, nor the adhesive remover, or the white gel pen. I’ve put them on my list, but if I could only order one which one would be the one you couldn’t be without?
I’m a senior and about 5 years ago I bought an electric Big Shot as cranking my beloved Cuttlebug was becoming painful. Now I could not live w/o my Big shot! Also, SU’s trimmer as it is so precise and versatile. There’s many, many other things I love; too many to list although I agree with you as I’ve purchased so many things ‘to try’ and they are still on a shelf or in a drawer, waiting for some love. This is such a fun craft that I’ll never get tired of it!
You gotta have dimensionals. And who doesn’t need the “bling” – pearls and rhinestones. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. Happy New Year!
Hi Susan, Love your blog and your style. I CASE’d your Lindt teddy bear favors this year — they were a big hit. I too have used lots more green glue in the past month….love the wiggle room and the savings.
Thanks for a chance to win. Happy New Year’s to you and your family.
I use dimensionals, glue dots, white paper, DPS, and black ink on a regular basis. My desk/room is covered with much more SU products.
I love your blog!!!!!!
I love the green glue, it’s the best. The moments black ink is great for all stampin, love it. I also use the silicone mat and the piercing mat all the time. I love the fact that SU’s colors coordinate so much, no matter what you use, everything matches so well.
I love the green glue and dimensionals. I really can’t say which I love more. I use them both all of the time. I can’t do without them. I have also concluded Stampin Up cardstock is absolutely the best. I’ve used several different kinds and find Stampin Up’s quality is the best.
Thank you for the chance to win such wonderful blog candy. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Tombow Glue….hands and sticky fingers down!
It has to be the Adhesive Rwmover. Tombow ‘Green Glue’ is another fav due to its wiggle room capabilities and even though I try not to be too generous with it, I often end up with little bits of glue seeping out. My best friend for this dilemma is the Adhesive Rwmover – nothing compares to it and nothing works better!!! Makes my cards clean & great!
Dimensionals & glue dots. 🙂
I have all of your 10 must-haves. I agree with others that dimensionals should be on there too!
Dimentionals……I could not live without SU! awesome dimentionals. They are the best!
My favorites this year are dimensionals (no SU order is complete without them :)), green glue (thanks for tips on using it sparingly), and the Tuxedo ink. All are well worth the money. Happy New Year!
I am with you on Glue Dots and “green glue”, both used a lot this year. But dimensionals has got to be tops. I also still love SU markers and couldn’t be without Basic Black, Early Expresso and the Basic Gray ones.
Green glue, glue dots and bling are my go to for most all of my card making.
Dimensionals are 1st on my list of “go to”; I love the look you get when you use them.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
I LOVE the coordinating products. Paper, ink, ribbon, buttons. You name it. I LOVE it!
My favorites are dimensionals and my trimmer. Have it by me at all times. Happy New Year!
A bone folder is a must have! My favorite though, that I could not live without (though 11.95) is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig
I couldn’t be without my Big Shot! Also love the framelits and magnetic platform!
Your list is great! Tuxedo black is a must and I just purchased refill blades for another favorite, the stampin trimmer. I would add dimensionals and the big shot.
I have been stamping about 3 years and only started to appreciate the Tombow multi purpose glue the last 6 months, now a must have. Always keep extras of everything on your list! Happy New Year and thanks for chance to win 😉
First Susan I want to wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year. I’m guessing green glue, dimensionals and I just love punches and the stamps that go with them. I really enjoy your blog, you just don’t give yourself enough credit.
I use dimensionals and snail adhesive on a daily. I love all of the DSP, but have a hard time using it because it’s so pretty, and I want to keep it all to myself!
Thanks for keeping up your blog so regularly. It’s fun to see your new creations very day.
Can’t make a card without Mono and glue dots and dimensionals. Thanks for all you share on your blog.
I love the silicone craft mat….I wish SU would bring out a larger one. Happy New Year!
My list would be a long one too! and several of them would match your list. I started using up things that I have that were on the “why did I buy this” list and love them! A few of my favorites are glue dots, any grosgrain ribbon, pearls, and dimenssionals. I could go one, but I won’t! LOL Thanks for a chance to win.
I could not manage without my Stampin Up trimmer, then the adhesives especially “green glue” and dimensionals.
Thanks for your daily blog I sure enjoy it everyday. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2015.
Dimensionals and sharp scissors are also a must to add to your already great list.
I absolutely cannot be without the black memento ink pad and dimensionals. I also like a stamp set that has a lot of variety in the sentiments, petite pairs or a dozen thoughts are just a few. Thanks for the chance to win! Happy New Year to all!
Nobody mentioned the red tape for 3D items etc I think I still like my black Staz On more than the Memento one but I am open on that. Otherwise pretty much the same ideas. I wish I could get a handle on when the green glue is almost out though – I run out pretty fast it seems.
Wishing you health, love, peace and Joy in the new year. If I don’t have Tombow, demensionals or white card stock I’m stuck. Happy new Year
I, too, found and am using glue dots. They are great for those little dimensional items.
My go to item are glue dots, use all the time.
Can’t be without dimentionals and green glue. Just could not make a card without these items! Happy New Year.
Must have my atg gun! Use it on every card. Then comes whisper white cs and dimensionals. Thank you for sharing so much great inspiration. I can always count on you to get my juices flowing.
It seems like I have a use for my Big Shot on every card I make, love to use emboss folders and framelits!
Things that I love…being able to read your blog for great inspiration I have made quite a few of your projects. Your directions and pictures are essential to my understanding and constructing. Thank you for taking the time to blog about your family and your stamping projects. Other items: Sticky strip, glue dots, dimensionals, envelope maker, punches!
Adhesive and dimensionals.
I’m addicted to using the Tombo glue and for a tool, I can’t do without our trimmer. I have owned many other makes in the past but ours is absolutely the best and most versatile.
Thanks for your generous blog candy offer. Happy New Year!
Green glue!
Stamp-a-ma-jig is something I use on almost every card I make.
The SU white pen is the only white pen on the market that I find works.
…these are a few of my favorite things and now it’s time to bring in a new year.
Whisper white cardstock is a must! At one time I used any grade of white cardstock. Compare the two qualities side by side and I am a firm believer – Whisper white is the BEST. The images are so crisp and definitely worth making sure the supply of WW never goes low.
My favorite go to are glue dots. Can’t seem to make a card or 3 D item without them. You pretty much nailed it with your list of favorites !
Glue dots are a must!! I also have fallen in love with the Baker’s Twine in different colors this Christmas! It always seem to add a boost to a package or card!
Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas! Happy New Year!!
Stampin’ Up has the BEST cardstock! I can’t make a project without it.
Have to have the green glue!!!!
I love the Note Cards & Envelopes ~ both Whisper White & Crumb Cake…and I go through Stampin’ Dimensionals like crazy ~ I love to layer! I so enjoy your daily blog posts….Best of wishes in 2015 ~ Happy New Year to you and your family…
Some of my favorite go-to items are mini glue dots, dimensionals, rhinestones & pearls!! Thanks for a chance to win your fun blog candy.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!!
Dimensionals are a must!!
Love adding twine to everything! Just so much fun!
I love my bling…pearls, rhinestones and dimensionals go on every order. And glue dots to hold anything!!!
i couldn’t craft without snail adhesive. between card making and scrapbooking i go through tons of this!
Have to have “green glue”. Glue dots are also a necessary thing to have. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve wanted the Good Greetings set since I first saw it. Tried to order it on the sale but they were all gone. Thank you for such an awesome blog Susan.
Susan…my favorites are the paper trimmer for sure!!! I always use dimensionals on my projects, glue dots for sure, tombo I am learning to use because of you (thanks for that!!!)
My favorite is the Stampin’ Trimmer it’s the BEST HANDS DOWN… now I’ll have to check into purchasing the Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Addition
In 2014 multipurpose glue became my #1 go to for crafting. I began using it after you raved about it so much. Now it never leaves my side. Thank you for sharing your stories and your work is constant inspiration. I SOO looking forward to meeting you at Leadership! A very Happy New Year to you!
Dimensionals and green glue.
I used my envelope punch board and envelope liner framelits a lot in 2014. Happy New Year.
I could not do without my punches!! Love them all. Happy New Year!!
Recently start using a lot more glue dots!! So handy and quick to use! Happy New Year!
Green glue is a must!!
I can’t live without Dazzling Diamonds!
Happy 2015 Susan! My favorites are snail (what I started out with), new to the green glue (and loving it!), and my Big Shot for added texture and shapes!! I can’t imagine not making a card without my Big Shot, but I sneak a few in there on occasion. Lastly, I can’t forget to mention embossing powder for sentiments. It really takes a card up a notch, I think. Thanks for your generosity!
My favorite go to products are ribbons, pearls and dimensionals. Happy New Year!
I love the Tombo glue and all of the SU papers. They are the best! I love your blog and appreciate the inspiration you share each day! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!
Actually, these last few months, I have really been using my Big Shot a lot for the first time. It is a great tool!
Can’t accomplish that polished look without my SU stampin trimmer. The best one ever! Happy New Year.
Happy New Year! I can’t live without dimensionals as they make my cards “extra special” with pops of flowers, snowflakes and salutations! Thank-you for the opportunity ti win the fabulous blog candy.
I couldn’t get along without dimensionals, green glue or my Stamp-a-ma-jig. All are indispensable. And something I’ve recently ‘discovered’ is window sheets! Love to use them on shaker cards.
Some of my must haves would be snail glue, the green glue, dimensionals, glue dots, and of course a wide (and I mean really wide) assortment of SU papers and inks!!
Definitely Whisper White card stock and green glue! I love your blog and enjoy your daily posts. 🙂

Happy New Year to you and your Family Susan!!
I love my stamp-a-ma-Jig. Once you get the hang of it you will never make a card without it.
SU’s dimensionals are the best ever. The only ones I want to use.
I enjoy your projects, always looking forward to the next. TFS. By the way, great blog candy!
I need my Dimensionals!!!
Gotta have Stamping Dimentionals, Tombo Glue, and Glue Dots!
I can’t do without my sponges, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and Simply Scored.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful 2015!!!!!!
Adhesive remover–a must
I love the ink and the awesome quality of the cardstock. I love love love the card bases, just used 60 of the olive ones for treats at work! So easy and affordable.
Not sure how I used to make things without my big shot
Thanks for the chance at some candy 🙂
Green glue for me!! I use it all the time. Dimensionals too! Happy 2015!
Dimensionals glue dots and green glue are always by my side. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I love sponge daubers! I just love putting color around edges to give it that extra pop. I also love my trimmer. I have used many, and have found this to be a wonderful tool – especially with the scoring roll attached! I love the paper piercing tool — it comes in handing for so many things — picking up small punches, embellishments, etc. And since I’m really new to card making, I’m learning to use more and more embellishments — I just discovered “brads” LOL.
My favorite supplies are SNAIL and DSP.
Stamp-a-ma-jig, SU trimmer and dimensionals are my go to. Several years ago I was showing my right handed friend how to use the stamp-a-ma-jig but she just couldn’t get it. She went home and tried it again and decided since I was left handed I was teaching her “wrong”! She tried it her way and it was a success.
I would say all of the items you mentioned as well as dimensionals and snail adhesive.
All the items you listed are a must, so I feel the same way. Stamping without these items would make it so much less joyful adding stress which defeats my purpose for stamping which is create and relax! Love the new clear blocks and clear stamps!
Absolutely new blades for the trimmer is a must. I failed to build up a pile of them and right in the middle of my Christmas cards I had paper threads everywhere! Thanks to a friend, I was able to finish my cards with no hanging
chads ?.
Is there anything in the Stampin Up catalog that we don’t love???? My favorite must are the glue dots, you can’t have too many. This Christmas I have really fallen in love with the Baker’s Twine! It really adds to a card or package!
Thanks for all of your great ideas and Happy New Year!
Maybe I need to give the green glue another shot since everyone seems to love it. I’m a snail gal. However, my favorite, can’t live without it product is dimensionals.
