Since we got a chance to vent our frustrations with the pet peeves thread how about the flip side. What crafting products would you not hesitate to give a glowing review of or recommend to others?
Wink of Stella Gives a light shimmer and always dispenses nicely
Perfect Layers tool Great tool that is easy to use, oldie but goody

Altenew inks! They stamp nicely, even on a filled in block design on rubber and clear. They've become my new go to.

I only have one Wink of Stella, but I love it. I used it last night.
Enamel dots - I love them! They are versatile and stick to my pages. I've never had one fall off.
Bella Blvd papers - I like the heavier weight of them.

i love the Fiskars Procision paper trimmer because of the self sharpening blade. i used to have the MM paper trimmer but it didn't cut very straight. i cut mostly cardstock weight paper so i was constantly having to replace the blades in the traditional Fiskars. the Procision is a bit bulky but thank goodness it folds and, best of all, the self sharpening blade.

Nuvo Crystal Drops! I had to. After I used them on pretty much every 28-4-28 page I did lol! I do actually think there's a knack to using them and sometimes they just don't work for everyone. I also suspect they work much better here in the UK than they seem to in the US where you guys have air conditioning. I think air con is not the friend of Nuvo Crystal Drops and they don't dry properly. But I love them a LOT!

Enamel dots
Almost anything from Elle's Studio
Stampin' Up inks (except for my poor luck with black and basic gray)
My fiskars locking scissors
Puffy stickers (even if I have to reinforce the adhesive)
Roller stamps
Tonic paper piercer (I have NO fingernails...I'm a nail biter...so I use it constantly)
CM guillotine trimmer
Tim Holtz stamp platform
I could add another hundred things (maybe) if we were okay to include storage products, too, lol.

Cambridge doilies, 4" & 6" sizes
Foam Thickers
Enamel Dots
I know there are lots of other products that I love, I'm just drawing a blank right now. I was just wishing that Prima would come back out with their Devines felt floral/branch embellishments that they had about 7-10 years ago. I still have one or two in my stash, but I have rationed them out. If they would re-release them, I would use them much more freely. I may have to see if I can find some felt to use with some of the Tim Holtz floral stem dies.
I still use my Perfect Layers on almost every layout I do. I usually prefer my photos to be matted & sometimes even my journal blocks if I have one on a layout. I love using the Fiskar's fingertip craft knife with the Perfect Layers. I have much better control than with a standard craft knife.

Wink of Stella here too (specifically the clear in a brush tip). That stuff changed my perspective on "glitter" completely. And another vote for the tiny attacher. I also enjoy glue dots and photo flips on a regular basis.

ATG - for the price and stickiness (I've NEVER had anything fall off...) I think it's a winner. Awkward but cheap and useful.
Tim Holtz stamp platform.
The Big Kick/Big Shot.
Muji pens
The round foam ink blender tool.
Heidi Swapp Gold mist.
And like many others - the tiny attacher!

I have to give a shout out to the new Pink Paislee Confetti Wishes card kit. It's $12 (but on sale for less at scrapbook.com) and you get everything you need to make 8 cards, plus you have extras leftover. It gives you pictures of the cards that can be made so you can follow it exactly or modify as you wish. Sometimes I get in a rut where nothing I'm trying to put together seems right. I liked this card kit because it gave me a jump start and a sense of accomplishment (even if the project was really easy!). I also really liked how big a lot of the embellishments were. Sometimes when I'm trying to make cards with scrapbook supplies there's just too many small pieces that I can't make work. I unboxed it all on my YouTube channel if you are interested in seeing more.  |

Shimmerz mists and paints. Seriously gorgeous textures and shimmer! I’ve never loved sprays as much as I do these!

I feel I could not scrap like I do without my herma dotto removable adhesive. I use it for almost everything. It is part of what makes me a fast scrapper.

Altenew inks! They stamp nicely, even on a filled in block design on rubber and clear. They've become my new go to. What kind of ink did you use before? Currently I am using archival ink. I own Simon ink and hero Arts ink. But they blotch and they never dry smoothly in my opinion. I have saw the altenew being used by Jen McGuire. But hVent paid to much attention. |

I have several things I love, but I recently got a Zig 2-Way Glue pen. Why didn't I get one before this? This thing is great!

Cutterbee scissors, ATG gun, and most of all the tiny attacher for tools. In terms of other products, I love flipping through my stash of Basic Grey papers more than anything.
