The Best 12 Adhesives Every Crafter Will Want in Their Craft Room

Beginning Stamping· Gallery

22 Oct

There are 12 adhesives every crafter will want in their craft room and today I’m sharing each of them and showing you how to use them.

Each adhesive that Stampin’ Up! sells has its place in your craft stash.  If you want to check these 12 adhesives out you can review them on page 162 of the 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog.

 

Let’s look at the 12 Adhesives….

Adhesive Sheets and Shimmery Crystal Effects

Adhesive sheets and crystal effects are a must have for every scrapbooking or card making crafter

Adhesive sheets are great for creating stickers!  Easily adhere shapes, words, or letters to your handmade cards, scrapbook pages, or other paper craft projects. 

 

The Shimmery Crystal Effects add subtle sparkle to your project with white and silver craft glitter flecks in this glossy lacquer. Small, thin tip makes it easy to outline stamped images or add detail. May cause smearing when applied directly to ink. Shimmery flecks display better on darker colored paper.

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

One of the 12 adhesives I use all the time is my trusty Tombow liquid glue.

 

Crafters’ must-have glue to securely adhere small embellishments, cardstock, glittler and paper. The liquid glue has a narrow tip and broad tip. Strong bond; dries clear. Acid free. The best adhesive to secure embossed layers of cardstock.

 

Mini Glue Dots and Black Dimensionals

Mini glue dots and dimensionals are more of the 12 adhesives I use all the time.

 

Mini Glue Dots are a favorite adhesive of many. No fumes, no mess, no drying time. Holds heavier embellishments, ribbon, cardstock, and detailed die cuts. 

The Black Stampin’ Dimensionals work great with darker-colored projects. They give your project extra depth and dimension. 

You get both the sizes in a package:

* 200 regular-size Stampin’ Dimensionals
* 480 Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stampin’ Dimensionals

Comes in two sizes – regular and Mini

Double-sided adhesive foam dots add depth and dimension. Great for heavier embellishments, too!  I always say they give your projects personality!

Tear and Tape: Adhesive that’s perfect for 3D projects

Tear n' tape is a craft adhesive that is perfect for 3d craft projects.

Strong adhesive with tearable paper backing for easy sticking. Perfect for adhering 3D items and large embellishments. 27 yards will last you a long time!  Tear and Tape is also acid free!

Fine Tip Glue Pen

One of the best adhesives that is talked about little is the fine tip glue pen.

The fine tip glue pen is perfect for adhering small embellishments, glitter, and detailed die cuts to projects. Cap includes pin to keep the tip clear and prevent drying.

Stampin’ Seal and Seal+

Our newest adhesive products.  While they take a little getting used to they are strong and you only need a little which will last you a long time!  They are both acid free and will work great in your scrapbooking, card making, and other paper craft projects.

Seal is an instant-bond, permanent adhesive. Holds cardstock and ribbon. 

Seal + is an instant-bond, permanent adhesive. Strong seal adheres 3D projects and heavier layers securely. 

Foam Adhesive Strips and Foam Sheets

Foam adhesive sheets and strips are perfect for shaker cards like this one.

Foam Adhesive Strips are thicker than Dimensionals and great for shaker cards or other 3D looks you are wanting to create.

Foam Sheets are double-sided and can be cut with Paper Snips (p. 159) or open dies to fit any project. Acid free.  Ideal for use with cardstock and paper.

Cling Adhesive

Cling adhesive sheets are perfect for using on intricate die cut words and letters.

Easily convert your clear-mount stamps to cling. 168 strips will convert a lot of stamps!  I personally do not have any clear mount stamps so I have not purchased these but I know many who have and they love them!

Silicone Craft Sheets

The craft adhesive sheet will not allow any adhesive to stick permanently.

 

While this isn’t an adhesive it is a must have when using adhesives!  If you have heard me say it once I have said it a million times that I wish they came in a bigger size!  I love our Silicone Mats!

Easily assemble embellishments–just put a dot of adhesive on the sheet and use both hands to assemble the embellishment, then pop it off the sheet when the glue is dry.

* 1 sheet
* 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
* Translucent gray
* Nonstick, heat resistant silicone
* Works with any Stampin’ Up! adhesives
