[Note I exclusively scrapbook & create layouts only with a simple, clean, linear, minimalist, magazine-ish style]
How often do you use:
- Cardstock stickers: Occasionally (i.e. mostly versatile labels/borders/tabs & rarely heavily-themed sticker sheets)
- Puffy stickers: Rarely (since most shapes/icons are heavily-themed & letter packs lack enough frequently-used consonants/vowels)
- Die Cuts: Rarely (purchased ephemera, since it's often heavily-themed); Often (manually die-cut shapes/letters, using metal dies)
- Chipboard: Occasionally (Thickers, purchased more than a decade ago); Rarely (purchased/printed chipboard shapes/icons since usually heavily themed); Never (plain chipboard)
- Enamel dots: Occasionally
- Frames: Never
- Tags: Often (using metal dies); Occasionally (cut-aparts, such as Simple Stories Tags); Never (purchased/blank tags)
- Acrylic shapes: Never
- Wood shapes: Never
- Sequins: Never
- Twine, string, etc.: Occasionally (twine only, in tag holes)
- Ribbon: Rarely (in tag holes)
- Metal charms: Never
- Paper flowers: Never (although the one glass bottle of various Prima colors has been used as craft room decor for ~20 years!)
- Washi tape: Never (on layouts); Often (to secure metal dies before cutting, stencils before inking, etc.)
- Rub ons: Rarely (still have some Making Memories letters!)
- Brads: Never
- Buttons: Never
- Film strips: Never (purchased/acetate); Rarely (using metal die)
ETA:
What about...
- Eyelets: Never
- Border punches: Often
- Die cuts you due cut yourself (like QuicKutz): Often
- Burlap: Never (only a burlap texture background stamp on occasion)
- Acrylic Paint: Rarely
- Foam stamps: Never
- Bows: Never
- Pockets with journaling tags: Never (either pocket for memorabilia or journaling tag sans pocket)
- Ink (for like inked edges): Often (for basic stamping, stenciling, heat embossing, inking edges)
- Tear Bears: Never
- Vellum: Rarely (with computer-generated journaling)
- Bottle caps: Never
