Card Making Embellishments

Card Making Embellishments

Card making embellishments are stuff that you can use to add sparkle or 3D effect to your handmade greeting cards. Beads, color stones, stickers, eyelets, glitters, tassels - these are some of the many embellishments that you can glue or sew to your cards.

Alphabet Beads - String a name or word(s) e.g. "B-A-B-Y" or "N-E-W-L-Y--W-E-D" for a baby, wedding or birthday card.

eyelets

Eyelets - There are many ways to use eyelets on your handmade cards. It is also great for attaching vellum paper to card.

fibers

Fibers - Look out for unusual fibers. These are especially great for tags.

metallic threads embroidery threads

Metallic Threads - I love the richness of metallic threads. I use them for 'embroidery cards', making tassels, etc.

ribbon

Ribbons - Make a bow with a ribbon and attach to your handmade card. The Shoe Card is an example of using ribbons to embellish your homemade cards.

Tips: Before you throw out your old clothes, look for buttons and other decorative items that might be sewn or attached to the clothes. Another good source for card embellishments is in your trinket box - costume jeweleries that you do not wear and want to throw away.
