For me, embossing folders. I buy them, I store them, I forget to use them... Currently it's because one of the plates for my Bigshot is missing... but when it turns up, the embossing folders need to earn their storage space in my craft corner. A little bit of the problem is that they are card sized, and not layout sized so I can't do a whole embossed background, and part is that I forget they're there...
What about you?

The Fuse tool. I haven’t even opened the package yet.
Sewing machine. I used to use it regularly with scrapbooking, but then we moved (lol, six years ago) and I never set it back up. I need to make myself use it again! I often want to, but I need to reacquaint myself with it.

embossing folders - yes
stamps - also yes
my Cricut - I've been in this craft room since February and only managed to get it set up last night
also my dies - not so much the 2x2 Qk that I can use the handtool on but the other ones that require the Epic Six...I'm not sure I remember when I used them last...oops

When someone posted about the Heatwave being on a big sale at J's, I bought it and some transfer sheets... I was so excited, I put it in a drawer and have yet to use it. LOL! Maybe DD...

I’m mainly a card maker, you would think I’d use those embossing folders more but I don’t. Same with stencils, I have a lot of them but I rarely reach for one. It would be one thing if they were tucked away were I didn’t see them but they’re not so I have no excuse for not using them more.

I have a LOT of stuff in here that would qualify...
Stamps. Own a ton. Hardly ever think of them when putting together a page unless I am lifting someone else's design.
Electronic cutterS. Yes. Two of them. My Cricut is sitting lazily on the shelf and has not been turned on for years. My Silhouette is in my sight lines, and I go to it when I can't find a paper or sticker or pre made diecut that will work for a particular project. And then I can't remember all its functions.
All the different foiling systems... My Minc gets a workout occasionally. Use the transfer paste for stenciling--and stamping when I think of it and remember how. My Foil Quill pens and metal mat get next to no action. And somewhere in the bottom of a drawer is a little WRMK hand held heat tool--the Fuse?--that was supposed to open the door to millions of foil creations. I like the look of foil. I just don't use any of these tools enough to get really proficient at using it And often don't think about it until other elements are already on the page or card.
Mixed media supplies. Lots of little pots and bottles and jars drying out on the shelf while I use the ones with which I am currently most familiar. Lately I have been using Oxides and VB art crayons. Occasionally I use paints. Love the look of pastes and glazes, but they don't get much play time around here.

Yes to the embossing folders! I'm the same way, for the same reasons. I really do want to use them. As well as mixed media, stencils, I could go on and on.

My Cricut. I don't have room to leave it out so I usually forget about it and when I do drag it out I have to give myself a refresher on how to use it.

I don't use my ScanNCut anywhere near as much as I should, and I don't use embossing folders and especially stencils as much as I would've expected either. There are probably other things I can't think of because I'm forgetting that I have them at all.

The "We R Memory Keepers circle spin and trim". I love the size variety of circle frames it makes. I struggle with it. I've watched the tutorial videos and it hasn't helped me. It not easy to use. Trial and error first, on a whole bunch of plain printer paper. The circle cutter has to be used/done very slowly to ensure a complete and thorough acurate cut. It's not something I use regularly. I have done three separate circle making days, and made a bunch.....and tossed a couple mistakes. Now I will only use it on paper that is on sale (4/$1--10/$2--etc...) or from a "3-4 sheets of each" paper pad. I will not use it on paper that was $1.00+ per sheet(learn from my mistakes!). I would definately classify it as a "love/hate" kind of thing. I love final results. Hate the tedious process of making them. www.scrapbook.com/store/ac-660091.html?w=circle+frames

Embossing folders are neglected here, too, and I’m a card maker as well as a scrapbooker. Also, my stencils, Glimmer Mist, and probably more that I’ve forgotten about.

Yes, embossing, and stencils too.
I should foil more - I didn't buy a minc, but I do have a laminator and bought some of the ready-to-foil papers. Foiling gives beautiful results and I'd love a hot foil machine for my gemini. But it feels like the supplies needed (plates, machine, variety of foils) is very very spendy compared to how often I would use it?

My Scan N Cut. I’ve yet to scan or cut. Don’t know what’s holding me back. If I can use my Silhouette, this shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.

Time to break out the embossing folders. Thanks for the reminder!

I have very few mixed media supplies and I never use them. The only thing I do use is a tattered angels clear glitter spray. I like using that to give my die cut titles or embellishments some sparkle but I tend to forget about it. I'm going to put it on my desk today.

Mixed media supplies. I love playing with them on the rare occasion that I do, and I keep buying. But, it’s definitely an effort to drag them out.

Another one for embossing folders. I haven't made cards in a long while but even still...I can't remember the last time that I used one.
Border strips/stickers. I have so many of them, I also have sheets and sheets of the Sassafras Lass ones that I got in the last of the warehouse box sales that they had but I forget them and I struggle with them.
Chipboard Alphas. I always use alphas but I never grab the Chipboard ones in boxes or loose in packets, maybe I just need to put them in with my thickers.
