Scrapbook & Card Embellishments

      Ribbon, Wire, Eyelets, Deco Fasteners, Fibres, and Buttons

     Want to add punch to your scrap pages and cards?? Then you've got to add embellishments!!
     An embellishment is anything extra, other than paper and ink, that you add to your pages and cards.
     And these things are what can make your creations special!!

      Add Ribbon: for a delicate touch, or to soften something that just doesn't look just right.

      Add Wire: for something different. Wire can be twisted into shapes (like hearts or butterflies) and
      added to the front of cards, or wrap it around something narrow to make curls/spirls. Spirls can be
      used to attach charms, for curly fun hair, or to suggest a path of a bouncing bunny. Use your
      imagination!

      Add Eyelets: as a way of attaching layers instead of using adhesive - It adds colour and dimension.
      Eyelets can also be used to create a decorative hole to thread ribbon, string, hemp, or raffia through.

      Add Deco Fasteners: Similar to eyelets, these fasteners don't have hole through them and you don't
      need a special setter to use them. Use them to attach layers, ribbon, or to allow something attached to
      move. They are available in gold and silver.

      Add Fibres: Use instead of ribbon for dimension and texture in your creations.

      Add Buttons: Buttons are one of the most popular embellishment out there. Sew them, or glue
       them as accents for colour, or to the centre of flowers. Possibilities are endless.
