Hard to pick the most used item. There are a few that get used for most cards. Guillotine, bone folder, scoring board, DST and GC.

I use my cricut expression most weeks but I couldn't make anything without my guillotine, finger lift tape and craft glue.
Great answers, everyone. I keep on thinking, oh, yes, I should have said that too - especially the glass mat. Mine is A3 and I just use it as my craft mat and work on it the whole time.
However, I have never found the "perfect" cutter, I have a guillotine, Fiskers sliding cutter, a rotary cutter, which I use interchangably. My biggest issues are I feel none cut truly square and most are hopeless at accuracy on larger items as they rely on fold out arms which cannot be millimetre perfect.
Well I have a huge stash of white card stock as my basic stash
I use it as a base card, and then use my nice card on the top, I am way too tight to use a whole a4 sheet of nice card as the base lol
DST
Zig glue pen
Paper trimmer(I agree with Dips I have several and none seem to be perfect)
Making more use of my cricut now as I have room to play just lacking cartridges
You don't have to be as mad as a box of frogs to be here but it helps:mysmilie_13:
Don't get much time for card making these days, as there is always something else that takes my time. When I do like LJ basic card is a must. I have all sorts of paper trimmers so I can produce a nice sometimes wavy edge but love using my Joy, though its a bit of a faff getting the cutters out. Would not be without DST or paper flowers.
Has to be my grand calibur - hardly ever make a card now without using it either to die cut something or to emboss a background. If my expression embossed then it would be my most used item but so far it doesnt lol.
I use a good deal of collal gel glue - prefer it to foam pads for the intricate things but a close second is my dries clear cosmic shimmer glue which I now use for attaching most things to cards.
Couldnt be without any of my ink pads as I use them on every card whether it be just a stamped sentiment or inking the edges. Love my distress inks, my dew drop brilliance pads and of course my memento for when I do grown up colouring in with my promarkers and speccies so the alcohol pens come a close second ot should that be a pair cos you cant have pens without the ink pads lol.
I'd also forgotten my glass cutting mat which is my basic work surface. Without that no cards would get made at all!
Most used tool is my Cuttlebug
Most used consumable would be dst, glue runner or anything else sticky.
Most used colourig medium would be a tie between promarkers and distress inks. Use Memento to stamp for colouring in with the promarkers. I've just started using versafine.
My most used tools are my paper trimmer and scoring board.
Consumables are double sided tape, glue, gems and ribbon - I love ribbon!
Favourite colouring medium is distress ink (features on just about every card I make) and promarkers.
My most used craft tools are my computer with all my craft CD/DVDs on, Silhouette Cameo, XCut guillotine and my Helix Craft Room is my lap tray. Then comes my Grand Calibur and Spellbinders.
I use tape pens, finger lift tape and what ever make of sticky pads I have to put my cards together.
