Gayle’s Favorite Things
Introducing what I hope will be a helpful new service for crafting newbies and veterans alike! Without further ado…these are a few of my favorite things (Julie Andrews sang it so much better!!) Products I love for the crafty friends I love! I’ve joined the Amazon affiliate program, so that I can link you straight to the “must have” products that I use and you may want to use too! I’m also pleased to offer a Search option, so that you can find other crafty goodies from Amazon that I may not offer in my favorite things! As always, feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I’m always happy to help if I can!
Newest Favorite Things
This tape, for whatever use it has originally, makes great faux vintage tape. There’s lifetime supply and then some with this item! Lol! Have fun with it!
Who doesn’t love owls? I adore using them in my Autumn journals especially! I found this wonderful book of journal pages and fussy cuts! So excited to use it! Thought you might be too!

Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Embossing Folder – Botanical
The 3D Embossing Folders are amazing! Emboss envelopes or make a decorative spine or come up with a whole new project! They have a deep emboss so are perfect for highlighting with Inka Gold or other mediums. So fun to play with…I hope you enjoy!
Fiskars Multi Purpose Scissors
I’m a fan of these “easy on the hands” scissors! I could fussy cut all day with these and my tiny Fiskars scissors! It’s important to save our hands from the wear and tear of our craft!!
Cropodile Punch
It took me a bit, but the cropodile has become one of my favorite things! I love the look of eyelets on a tag and once you get the hang of it, this punch is great!!
Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
Love this little stapler for getting into the difficult places. The staples are little and don’t show as much on your ephemera pieces. Hope you enjoy it too!
Genuine Leather Book Holder
This weighted book holder is fantastic for holding open a journal as you work on it! It’s especially useful for altered books that close every two seconds! Hope you enjoy it!
TAP – Transfer Artist Paper
Use this amazingly easy to use Transfer Artist Paper to transfer your art from its original substrate to many other surfaces, including fabric! What a fun and practical supply!
Misti Stamping Platform
After seeing a demo at Creativation 2020, I had to get one of these stamping platforms! There is storage for the magnets, a soft stamping surface and very visible grids and rulers. Excited about this tool!!
Tim Holtz Glass Mixed Media Mat
I love Timmy’s mat for messy mixed media projects! It’s glass, so I don’t use it in my filming area (I use the Dahle Vantage Self Healing Mat for filming), but it’s awesome to have as a place to use all of Timmy’s wonderful products!
Gel Printing Plate by Gelli Arts
My tried and true is the 8 x 10 gelli plate! If you haven’t tried Gelli printing, you are missing out on such fun! Make you very own one of a kind prints for use in scrapbooking, journal making and card making. Let loose and have fun!!
Gelli Arts Printing Plate 9 x 12
A new purchase for me, but can’t wait to be able to fully cover an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper! I hope you’ll enjoy this additional gelli plate option!
Dahle Vantage Self Healing Mat
Love this mat for my filming area…no glare! It has a great measuring grid! And is self healing. It comes in a variety of sizes. Mine is 24 x 36 inches.
Poly Envelope Folder
Love these plastic envelope sleeves for storing my digital design printouts! They have helped me so much with organizing myself!
Big Capacity Waterproof Plastic Zipper File Bags
These little pouches are perfect for small ephemera! And, they can be coordinated with the envelopes for the digital pages.
American Crafts Sweet Sugarbelle Icing Bottle
These are the little bottles that I transfer my FabriTac glue into! It’s a life changer! No more bubbling out! Remember you’ll need a stainless steel pin to pop into the opening for closure.
Aged Paper for Printers
For those who are worried about putting coffee dyed paper through your printer, here’s the solution! Very nice paper with the vintage look. The only thing missing is the crunch! This works great to print digital kits on too!
Adjustable Folding Table
If you’re tired of putting things on the floor by your craft table only to have to bend over to pick them up, this little folding table is just what you need. I was always bending over to the floor even while filming videos! Now I have my little table right at hand for quick access!
The Botanist’s Sticker Anthology
Loving this sticker book! I feel like a kid again and feel so happy when I open it. Stickers of all kinds for your projects. Beautiful flower stickers in this book!
Euro Hook Power Punch by We R Memory Keepers
Love this punch for tag tops! Easy to use and solidly constructed!
Catered Paper Decorative Craft Paper Book Vol. 2
Our junk journal friend at Catered Paper has published her second volume of the security envelope paper. This paper is great for backgrounds and collages!
Waxed Linen Tread for book binding
This is my favorite book binding thread ever! Love having all the colors in this pack to match journal covers!
Gloves in a bottle
This lotion works so well to protect your hands from paint, inks and all manner of crafty messiness. Just put it on like lotion, it dries and you don’t even know it’s there. But when you wash your hands the messiness washes right off! I think it would be great for gardening as well as crafting!
