One size fits all is a great concept for things like elastic belts, but not so much for adhesives. There’s a reason Stampin’ Up! offers nine different adhesives. Each adhesive has its own merits and everyone has their favourites.
Here’s a brief rundown of each adhesive:
| Adhesive | What it is | Why we like it |
|---|---|---|
| Fine-Tip Glue Pen | Liquid glue with a pin in the cap to keep the tip clear and flowing | The thin stream of glue is great for a strong hold on tiny accents. |
| Foam Adhesive Strips | 22.9 cm long strips of double- sided adhesive foam | Perfect for shaker cards or spinner cards. Trim to the length you need. |
| Mini Glue Dots | Individual dots of adhesive | Sticky dots of glue provide strong hold for small elements. |
| Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets | Touch-and-peel adhesive | Press an element such as a die cut onto a sheet, pull it up and adhere. |
| Multipurpose Liquid Glue | Liquid glue in a dual-tipped bottle: narrow and broad tips | Holds cardstock, large embellishments, small embellishments and glitter |
| SNAIL Adhesive | Double-sided tape in small case | Lightweight and portable adhesive can go with you anywhere. |
| Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals | Double-sided adhesive foam dots | Add instant depth. Use Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on smaller pieces. |
| Tear & Tape Adhesive | Easy-to-tear double-sided tape | No measuring or cutting—just stick it to your project, then tear. |
Tip: See the chart on p. 203 of the Annual Catalogue for more suggested uses for each adhesive
