I have a ton of them, and I love 'em. Besides being so easy to use (espeically for someone like me who has a bad thumb), they have great designs. I especially love the large cirles and squares for matting.
I'm gonna put in a plug for the cutting mat (pg. 225 of the current catalog). I use it as my general stamping surface. It's great for making sure I layer things straight (using the gridlines) and for messy things (you can take it to the sink & wash it).
OMG - I can't believe no one has said the stamp-a-ma-jig! I can't line anything up properly, and this one helps alot!! I use it constantly. I know alot of people are afraid of this tool, but it really works if you use it properly. Eyelets are right up there too!
I have had the "Layer Ease" sitting in a drawer for a couple of years and finally used it for the first time on Saturday night. What a great tool!!! I'll be using this one again and again.

:oops: banging self on head saying "you're right, you're right!" I LOVE my stampamajig and use it ALL THE TIME!!! That is probably my most favorite! thanks for reminding me!
Everything that has been listed, plus the tearing edge. I've had it for a couple years, but lately I've been using it a TON! Once you use it a bit and get the hang if it, it sure comes in handy!
My favorites at the moment are Crystal Effects, Pearl Ex and the aquapainters (with Future Floor Wax, of course!). Anything shimmery and sparkly is what I love !
Definitely Crystal Effect, I use it almost every time I stamp.
Can I ask what you do with the CE? Especially if you are using it almost every time you stamp!? I have not used mine yet...isn't it the stuff you use to do cracked glass tech? But what else can you do with it? Can you give me a linke to see?
TIA!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Well, I didn't post about the CE, but I do use it. It is great for just making something shiny and a bit raised up. I really like to put it over the fish bowl from Little Hellos, the umbrella in Fine Print, and the window from Sweet of You. You can also use it to stick down beads, or as a general adhesive.

I love the wheel guide. Didn't really think I needed it until I used it. I LOVE it. And the extra sticky tape and micro beads, and Crystal Effects. Oh, did you say only one, sorry :oops:

LOL...Whoa!! I should fix my former questions and ask what are your favorite SU! gadget'S'.... ;) I haven't used Pearl Ex yet but am thinking of getting the Stampamajig. I have the cutting mat coming along with my first set of markers I'm totally addicted to SU! and can't wait for the next party next month :lol:

The first thing that popped into my head was the stampa-majig! I also love eyelets, brads, and crystal effects as well. But the stampa-ma-jig is awesome and has saved so much paper for me since I think I am a perfectionist! It is also great that they now offer several imaging sheets so now I don't have to search for that one, clear sheet everytime.
Definitely Crystal Effect, I use it almost every time I stamp.

I use it mostly to make things shiny. Like the frogs, or eyeballs, or balloons or vases holding flowers. It really adds a lot. I used the bathtub from La-dee-da and put crystal effects on it to make it look like porcelain and then sprinkled some dazzling diamonds on it. If I wants to glitz something up and have it popped up I use the crystal effect and then the dazzline diamonds.
It makes a great clear glue that is AWESOME!
and I'm sure that there are a million other things that I can't think of right now. You'd just be surprised how many things can use a little bit of shine, and how much it adds.

I love the metal edged tags, eyelets, brads, craft and rubber scissors, and paper popper.
What's a paper popper???
It is the handy little tool that clears out the paper dots that get caught in your anywhere hole punch. It has 3 different sized metal prongs (relating to hole punch size) sticking up out of a base. You place your anywhere punch on it, tap with a hammer and it pushes all those little dots right out at one time. I used to spend what seemed like hours pulling those dots out with a safety pin. No more--thanks to this handy little tool.
