MY FAVORITE CRAFT SUPPLIES OF 2023 - WHAT WORKED AND WHAT DIDN'T -  

Oh, Margreth...you know we are all sitting through the whole 2 hours listening to you talk about the things you love and just crafting away while doing it. Short or long, your videos are a joy to watch.

Margaret you can talk for hours and hours and hours and I would still listen You relax me every night and I love it. Thanks for doing all of this for us we do appreciate you even though we may not say it enough but I do appreciate you. 💕💕💕

Eeeekkkk! Thank you so much for the shout out with the Labels From Days Gone By Series! Thanks for suggesting it! I’ve actually got another one planned for early in the new year! Pastels are a great idea too! They’d prove to be much more difficult for me to do. I’m so used to bold colors…. Hmm…. Wheels are turning… Big hugs for doing all this hard work for the paper crafting community. I sat and watched the whole thing through in one sitting and it didn’t seem like it took more than an hour! You are always so lovely to listen to my dear! Xxoo.

You can make your own colored staples by taking a group of them still attached to each other and color just the flat tops with a permanent (shARPIE) marker or alcohol marker, and tada custom staples any color you choose! Works great and you are only limited by the marker colors that you have!!! 11

Great video! One suggestion. In your slot/ribbon punch. Just punch out and slide to left or right and punch again making the slot wider. I do this a lot and can get the perfect slot for all ribbon sizes. Hope this helps with this punch and maybe it will become one of your favs. Looking forward to your 2024 vids.. Healthy and Happy New Year….

Loved this video! Watched the whole thing in one sitting while I crafted. You are such a pleasure to listen to, and shared a load of information that was super valuable! Thank you for taking the time to film this, I know it took some work! We all appreciate everything you bring to this community. Thank you so much once again!❤

#Replay with Tim Holtz mini attacher, you can use a sharpie pen to color the staples before you put them in the stapler.

What a fabulous informative video. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work 👍 ❤️ 😍 🇨🇦

I watched the whole video in one sitting! I know it took you a long time to make but it is chock full of great information. Thanks so much!

Well , it took me FOUR hours to finish, not to take comfort breaks, but because I had to shop!!! I’ve been glued to my tv!! 😂😂 I hope Marlous is ready for this next year!! I’m sure once this video hits, she is going to be hopping!!! Even just MY order😂😂 today wasn’t adding to cart, I was like” Buy NOW”😂😂. I love this video, I loved last years too, just so much knowledge and entertainment, and one cute bundle of Margareth. Thank you thank you. ❤❤

Incredibly informative

I absolutely love this long video! I could listen to you all day. I had this going while designing my digital ephemera and test printing, Loved listening to you! ❤

Thanks, great video. I'd love to see a video of how you store all your supplies.

Mementos are good for rubber stamping and coloring in with alcohol ink markers (Copic). The Mementos won’t bleed with alcohol, whereas I believe most, if not all other inks will.

I enjoyed every minute till the end and wanted more! Thank you so much!

I just put some vaseline around the lid area to keep glue from sticking to the lid. It even works for E6000. It works great and only takes a second.

For Tim Holtz products, I have learned to watch his instructional videos so I can use the tools as intended. His precision trimmer does not require the user to lift the clear plastic paper holder. Paper can be inserted without lifting anything. It's a real time saver, for me.

Love your honest opinion of brand names, craft materials, and such; a pleasure to watch you dig through all of your awesome gadgets and ephemera! Have a great New Year! 🎆💕❄

Loved this video. Always enjoy your authenticity and appreciate your honesty about the supplies you use. You always make it fun.

So glad u made this video. Very informative.

Darn. I shouldn’t have watched this lol. Amazon should pay you!! Love the reviews and all the useful information ❤

Hello miss margreth happy new year god bless hope you had a wonderful Christmas ❤you and your family

I love these videos, the first one you did was so helpful and it helped me to build my junk journal tools when I started.

I highly HIGHLY recommend the Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive glue (they've rebranded it to Scotch Tacky Glue in more recent years). I discovered it about 20 years ago and it's the best I've used. I cannot imagine Art Glitter Glue or Bearly Art being better...they are certainly more expensive. The reason why I like the Scotch glue is that is dries very quickly, never clogs up (in the original bottles), dries clear, acid free, etc. When I purchased it 20 years ago, they had a really thin applicator, which has gotten bigger so it's not as precision as before and it also allowed you to stand it up on it's applicator so the glue never has to be shaken (the newer bottles don't stand on their tip so you'd have to shake them like Art Glitter or Bearly Art to move the glue down to the tip). I was creating scrapbooks back then and quit for almost a decade before I picked up a used bottle of glue and it worked just as good as the day I bought it even though it was years old. I found an online source that sold them for about $4/bottle (4 oz) and loaded up. I re-use the original nozzle that is a precision applicator or put them into the tiny need nosed bottles (not as big a fan because if I go for months without using them, the needle nose will get clogged up and is unusable). You can probably use your Art Glitter Glue nozzle on it....also, I've heard people say the whether affects those glues. I never had a problem with Scotch brand adhesives (glues or double-sided tape....they make great, quality adhesives that will stick for years, if not forever).

I am so honoured to be part of your 2023 favorites my friend, Thank you !! You are so sweet, you never need to be nervous about messaging me, you are so wonderful and I look forward to chatting with you XXX

That was very nearly a craft room tour😂 Can we have one of those soon, please. 😊 I said ' I have that' more times than I should have...not that you influenced my craft purchases this year, much!❤😊 I love that you say "you don't need this". We crafters really are, all, just collectors of yumminess. I was making a Camelia Crafts (Julie) project yesterday and used some Mr TH ephemera 😢, but then I remembered I have some of his stamps so I can make my own!😊 TFS❤ Have a lovely New Year.🎉 See you in 2024

Tired of you?! Never!!!! You are amazing! I wish you could hear me when Im talking to you on the screen!😂 A happy and healthy 2024 to you(and your dad, husband and cats!)and if you come craft in the US, you can share my 12x12 TH pads!1😘

You forgot to mention your favorite of all time... It must be the clear envelopes with the Velcro closures that keep everything so organized! 😆. As a newbie to journal making, I find your insight to these products helpful.

WOW! What an epic video! I watched the entire video in one sitting on this gloomy Saturday morning. Brutally honest reviews, that's what I love. I will be checking out some of the products that I had no clue existed. Thank you!

Thank you so much for hauling out all of your stuff to curate it for us. It was very valuable. I hope it doesn’t take too long to put back, but it was worth it. Appreciated.

This has been the BEST 2 hours I’ve spent in a very long time! I am happy that I have most all of the things you love..so let 2024 begin and let’s get creating together! You are AMAZING! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I a-DORED this video!! So many ideas! I understand your unique style 100% better now. The cost-saving hints are my favorite parts. Thank you for your honest reviews and taking the time to craft this video! It's a true work of art all by itself. Blessings in the new year.

What a great video! It was so informative, and just plain fun. My favourite part has to be when you raved about a tool or item and then showed how it could be replaced by something much simpler. Such as the emery board vs. the Tim Holst roughing tool. Thank you for such an entertaining look at the best of 2023!

This was fabulous! Thanks for soldiering on for us. It was great to see your top favorites in all these categories. I just turned your video on while I was crafting so it was like I had a crafting buddy while I was making a project. I so enjoyed it! You are in my top 5 YT video designer finds of 2023! Thanks for all the amazing inspiration!

Wow!!! You must be exhausted, this was a lot and so much fun. There is so many wonderful things you shared. Looking forward to seeing all that you have coming in the new year. Take care.

Love this!! FYI, you can alter the color of staples with alcohol inks/markers! So you can have any color you want! 🎉

Hi Margreth, wow how did I miss this video,🙆 did you know you can change the color of your staples with alcohol inks. I totally agree about the corner chomper and the credit card. a loot of money for something we can get for free. For your TH matt use it the hold you papers or cards in place when stamping. it is great for holding things in place. Margreth I love 49 & Market Rub-ons so awesome. My creative Expression rub-ons didn't work for me either. I'm sad because I've seen them used. I'll just use my stamps. Thank you I really could listen longer :)🤗

Thank you sooo much for your tremendous effort showing us what you like and what you don’t. I have made greeting cards for many years and now also make junk journals. My equipment and supplies include nearly everything you reviewed and I agree with most of your opinions. The one thing that I have an issue with is Ali Express. As a US follower of your channel, I will not purchase from Ali Express. After learning that they are sponsored by the Chinese government, I have stopped buying from them. China is not a friend of the US, so I do not wish to support anything from China or the Chinese government. My support will always go to US or EU companies even at the higher price - the quality is higher, also. Thank you again, Rocky J. 🤗 🤗

Margareth, we I never get tired of hearing you talking...I love ❤️ listening to you! I could not break this up into different times..all the way through...no stopping...is 12:23 am here in the states...just finished.. love your longer videos! 😊

We love almost the same things!! 49 and Market is my #1, all the things!! Sam Poole & Tim Holtz stamps. I really like Taylor Made stamps as well. I so enjoyed this video and I watched all the way through!! I know this took a lot of time gathering and getting ready for this video, I for one really appreciate you taking the time to do this!! Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're anything like me you buy something, forget you have it....l.and buy another one!! ☺

Thank you so much for sharing your favorites! Since watching your channel, I have purchased many of your favorites and have quickly become my favorites! Love your channel!❤ Happy New Year!🎉🎉

Thank you for this love it all

❤ Thank you 🙏🏼🌷

love your pages!

Lots of info. Thank you😁

I have been looking forward to this all year long. Loved last year's fav craft tool video so I knew this one would be fabulous. Thank you for keeping it real and showing options when there are better alternatives available. Excited to see what you have planned for 2024! *Heidi Swapp staplers take #10 staples - pick them up at any office supply store.

Fantastic!

INCREDIBLE…time flew by…very helpful ❤️❤️❤️

✨🌼❣️THANK YOU❣️🌼✨ OML iam loveing you made a all in one video -thank you very much Margreth you are absolutely a treasure, always recommend you! 🤩❣️❣️❣️

Loved the video it gives us an idea of what will be good to buy

Great video. Thank you.😊❤

LOL...I am NOT sick of you. In fact I just discovered you. Your genre is one I'm just barely getting into but i was fascinated by your entire video. THANK YOU. Now to subscribe and see where you take me!!!!

Bravo!!! 👏

Thank you so much

hihi ,je begint al aardig op tim lijken....kwa lang praten dan😉🙃 maar ook zo met net zoveel passie! ach en elke keer praat ik met je mee , of val ik je in de rede...maar nu ben ik toe om te typen... en weet ik het niet meer. je hebt al een aardige voorraad van tim spullen en stempels en zo, maar ja , jij woont ook lekker dichtbij de mooiste hobbywinkel van nederland! en ook een lieve Marlous die jou steunt en soms sponsert. en ik ben echt blij dat je over producten zo eerlijk bent! juist erg fijn is dat! het is natuurlijk fijn als je van alles voor je hobby kunt kopen , maar ik vind het juist ook fijn van jou , dat je alternatieven laat zien wat je ook kunt doen of gebruiken... dus mijn grote dank aan jou! voor het hele afgelopen jaar en alle tijd en liefde die je er in stopt! en voor het gezellige geklets er bij... ik heb het idee dat ik dan een vriendin op bezoek heb , zo fijn en gezellig! een heel goed uiteinde gewenst voor jou en je familie... en natuurlijk voor iedereen die dit mocht lezen... en tot volgend jaar lieve Margreth!🤗😘😊

This was soooooo Fun!!!😂

I haven’t finished this video… I watch a bit here and a bit there…. But I will say this, I was inspired to get me some circle punches. I have 3 now… in smaller sizes. Then I went to the thrift store and found me a 2 1/4 circle punch. I folded a piece of paper to thicken it and it cut through with ease. Oh the satisfaction! Thanks! I’ll let you know when I’ve completed the video.

I enjoy YOU! I love your humor. Thanks for all the tip and advice. This video was so informative time just flew by. 💜

Awesome video. Would love to see more especially dies Thanks 💜

Margareth, I enjoyed this so much! I watched while I was making photo slides (Photo Booth and Chapter 3 slide die) and I could have watched another 2 hours, even though I only got 2 slides done.😀 I loved everything you showed, and have a lot of it, but I really need to get some 49 & Market. I am a major TH fan, so I always love when you use and show his stuff. But it hurts me when you say don't buy the rotary cutter. I love that thing so much. I love his new paper trimmer but I agree with you, I wish the track was a bit longer so that the scorer or blade could be parked without removing one or the other when using 12 inch paper. What you said about Distress Inks vs Oxides was interesting. I love Brushed Corduroy Ink, but not the Oxide, but dislike Frayed Burlap Ink, love it as Oxide. True for some other colors too. You know the splatter stamp from Tiny Toadstools? I always wondered why a splatter stamp was included with mushrooms, and I finally realized that they are meant to be spores! I use them as splatters too. One thing you said that really made me laugh..."Well, it's Tim Holtz; it's supposed to be expensive!" 😂

Loved this video🥰 Awesome.

Ooo that paper!❤

Thank you for sharing and giving your opinions,on your favorite craft supplies. Was very helpful . Enjoyed video. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for all this good information! It’s very helpful to know this since I am a beginner journal maker.

Thanks for this video 🤩🥰

I really enjoyed this ! I watched a few times and tried writing everything down but I know I’m missing important stuff! Could you make a list all your must haves and favs please.

Absolutely loved this video, thank you!

I love all your videos and I’m very grateful for your honest opinions of these products, saves us $$$ on useless supplies. I would love a tour of your craft room and storage ideas. Thanks again!

Love love love you! Thank you so much for your talent and time!

Absolutely love this video! Thanks on the ideas for things i need to check out.

Wonderful video! Thank you for taking the time to compile the information

Thank you Margreth for going into so much detail for all of these craft tools. It is SO helpful and appreciated. Happy New Year!

Yes! I am so ready to watch this whole video all at once!

Thank you for your help on what is what VERY HELPFUL

Great video! I really enjoyed it! TY, Happy New Year! 🎉❤🎉

Suggestion for the screw loosening on your scissors... loosen the screw just a little and put a drop of loc-tite and tighten your screw back down. When the loc-tite dries, the screw will not come loose anymore.

Fijne jaarwisseling en een heel mooi, gezond en creatief 2024

This was great!!!!!!! Thanks! Really enjoyed. Happy New Year

What a great video! Very, very helpful! 🌻

Wonderful review of your favorites~ Thank you~

Great video and great advise. Thanks for all the work you do for us.😊❤

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. So much valuable information !

I didn't think the video was too long. I really enjoyed it. I'd wqtch a couple of chapters then go and do a little housework, and when i was ready for a break, I'd watch a little more. We agree on many of the items. And some I've had a different experiences, but it was nice to hear the different rationales. Have a great day. I plan to watch more of your videoa.

Thanks for sharing your favorites❄☃💙
