There are many things we would like to consider using on our cards. Here are some card making embellishments that you can use to add glamour, and 3-d effects to your card creations.

Creative Card Making Embellishments:

• Eyelets: There are many ways you can use eyelets.
  It is great for attaching clear plastic, vellum, and
  tags to any homemade card. You can use it for your
  hole punches in your card and weave wire through it.

• Brads: They are similar to eyelets but brads don’t
  have a hole through them. There also great for
  attachments and tags. Some come in decorated designs
  like flowers, buttons and snowflakes. They also come
  in color coordinate with seasons.

• Buttons: Before throwing out any loose buttons. Keep them.
  They make great card embellishments for any card. I used
  them in a creative Christmas card idea, and strung them on
  the tree as ornaments. So don’t throw them out.

• Alphabet Beads: You can string names, words or
  sayings for example… “L-O-V-E” or “B-A-B-Y”, birthday,
  wedding or even personal names.

• Fibers: Look for any fibers you might have laying around
  or just so happen to come across. They are great for
  hanging tags, lining envelopes, stringing letters like your
  alphabet beads and creating bows.

• Metallic Threads: They come in many different colors and
  are great for creating creative tassels. You can also use
  them to create embroidery cards.

• Ribbons: I love to use ribbons to line my envelopes with or
  make bows. You can attach ribbons to any of your creative
  homemade cards.

Tip: You can find many card embellishments to use, like in your
closets, drawers, storage bins. Remember to look before you
throw away everything. Even tell friends and family they might
have some things you could recycle and use for your card
making embellishments.
