cricut glue?

[jennz]

Hello scrappers! I need product advice...dh got me a cricut for Christmas and now that I have pried it out of my 11 year old dd's hands (and gotten her to show me how to use it! lol) I it! But I need advice on an adhesive...I grabbed some Elmer's Memory Book Glue Pen but it gobs up and I don't like it. What do you all use?

I use the ZIG Pen. They have different types of them, I have 3 different styles that work great for the pieces cut on the Cricut.

Another vote for Zig!

I vote for Zig too!

I love the Xyron Sticker maker machine. It turns whatever you put through it into a sticker. It is so much faster than using the Zig pen (which I relied on for many years). You can get it at Michaels, Joann's etc. with a coupon. Sooooooooooo worth it!

I use the Zig pen and Zip Dry

I use a Zig pen for small pieces and lettering. I also use Elmer's glue sticks for attaching photos to layouts.

Hi Jennifer!!! It's about time you got your butt back here!

Anyway, another vote for Zig pens. You can find them at Mike's and ACM.

Is this "tough love?"

Thanks! I'll have to go and get one.

Do you guys ever do a scrap challenge like the exercise challenge? Commit to x number of pages in a month? Just curious - I need some motivation!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Yeah, tough love!!! Add the steps from the gym to the scrap room in your daily exercise challenge! Hey, I can justify anything!! LOL

We have a monthly and annual challenge. Some of us set a goal for the month others just post how many pages we did.
here is January's challenge

Then StitchIsOurHero and I tally the pages for every month and add them to the annual thread.

I use glue dots and a 2 tipped applicator glue pen made by 3M.

lol to an 8 count "and cut and tape and journal and close"

I forgot that I have glue dots! I'll have to check those out too - I really need to go through my stuff.

I am the exact opposite. I used the sticker maker for years and recently switched to the zig pens. I got tired of cleaning up the endless glue boogies.

The boogies make me crazy! That's why I love the zig pens.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Glue boogies!

glue dots are good for big stuff, even a tape runner but you need the fine tip pen and a good pair of tweezers for the small stuff.

Apparently I use a Zig pen as well....I only know this because I just went into my scrap room and checked. All I really knew was that I bought it at Walmart last year. I am pretty sure I bought it at Walmart....now I am not even sure of that.

 

[StefnMike]

Zig pen, xyron (right now I only have an X, but I want to get a larger one), glue dots, pop dots and mono adhesive. It really depends on the size and shape of your die cuts.

 

[LoriNSC]

Zig pen & ATG gun. Yes-they sell zig pens at walmart.

I found the zig pens at Wal-mart yesterday!I was excited that they were only $2.50 so I bought both kinds. Actually I didn't know they were "zig" so I grabbed both kinds and said to dd "well these look good but I wish I could find the zig pens." She said "Um Mom it says Zig right there!" Love them!
