Thank you everyone! I ended up ordering the tiny attacher and some very mini Tim Holtz paperclips just because they were cute from Amazon on Saturday night and they showed up Sunday morning! It never occurred to me to use a stapler for transparent things so I’m glad I asked and the little stapler are so cute!

I actually use the creative memories tape and get it from amazon. It is pricier than the cheaper stuff from michaels but it lasts a decent amount of time for me and it works great.

If I need liquid glue, I use Bearly Arts.
I was using Creative Memories tape runners, but it was getting so expensive buying refills, so I switched to Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Runner. I buy packages of 6 refills from Amazon.

I use Tape Jungle refills in my ATG gun. I've been using these for at least 10 years, no issues. Wet glue-I use the Art Institute Glitter glue (there is no glitter in it, it's just glue). I like this better than the Scotch Quick Dry that I used previously, it gives me time to get glue on the whole item (ie a title I've die cut) without it being dry on the end I started on. I also use this on vellum, but try to hide it under a part that I've embossed, stamped, etc. Do you notice the tape from here has a strong tape smell? The ATG tape I ordered from Amazon or bought at J's did not smell. Not that I go around sniffing tape, I could smell it while I was loading my tape gun.

My friend and I joke that our ATG tape smells like, "New Barbie legs"... But yeah, that weird plastic-y smell.

I will have to go home and give my ATG a good sniff and report back, lol. I do remember the refills having a smell to them when I open up the individual packaging, but can't recall ever noticing an odor when using my ATG (or having it sit on my desk). However, I am in a dry climate, I wonder if in a more humid environment the smell might stick around longer? 🤷🏻♀️ I feel like when I travel to more humid climates I smell allll of the things much moreso than back home in my almost-desert state!

For wet- I use Distress Collage Medium. It dries clear, shrinks and glues almost anything! Metal, wood, paper, glass love it! Plus I use the crayons to color and your put the collage medium down, let it dry and then put the crayons on top! For tape- I use score tape. Sometimes I will put some collage medium on the tape so that I can wiggle it around if I am attaching a card front to a card base. I like my mini Xyron too! Oh and Ken Olivers stick it works great for die cuts.

Wet glues: Tombow Mono Aqua, Nuvo Deluxe, Bearly Art, and Art Glitter Glue Tape runners: I have the ATG gun, but mostly reach for my Kokuyo Dotliner or Creative Memories Repositionable.
One adhesive I love but haven't seen mentioned yet is Sticky Specks. It's great for very fine scripty words or other fine die cuts. You just press the item onto a sheet that has teeny-tiny glue dots. Your fingers will get sticky, but it's so much easier for me than trying to squeeze a narrow bead of liquid glue. They're not available on Amazon anymore, but the Thermoweb Sticky Dots may do the same.

Love the ATG. Don’t often use liquid so no favorites. Below is a link to the only vellum tape I have tried that actually works. Vellum adhesive
