Everyday Embellishing

| | | |
It’s easy to incorporate chalk, metallics, and
bling into your artwork with a few embellishments you can use on your
everyday papercrafting projects. Let me show you how! Check out these great projects from the Close to my Heart Art Department for some creative ideas!

This Merry & Bright page uses dots created with the gold metallic marker to add extra sparkle around the edges of the page. Notice the
scalloped accents with outlines in gold marker which adds dimension and
draws your eye. Our metallics markers will make your artwork sparkle! (The metallics are very cool and perfect for your holiday cards and layouts!)

Add heart to your art with an extra touch of bling—cover your Dimensional Elements with silver Glitz™ glitter gel, a clear Sparkle or
two, or a touch of silver from the metallics marker! Your heartfelt
messages will bedazzle your loved ones.


Isn’t this layout cute? The chalk marker and 12″ × 12″ chalkboard sheet are a perfect pair for
creating a unique project. Journal and embellish your memories with the
quaint look of a chalkboard—minus the dust—and a lot of freehand fun,
perfect to display in your albums or on your walls!

If you haven’t had a chance to scrapbook your Halloween photos yet,
here’s a great idea for a spooky page. The Haunted assortment with its
cute skull brads, spider badge buttons, and more, is the perfect go-to
for scary Halloween memories. It also coordinates nicely with the Moonlight paper packet and Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements.

Tell your story with papers and accents that complement your unique
tale. The Memo assortment’s little note tags are great for embellishing
and journaling all in one, and the tiny epoxy numbers mimic old
typewriter keys. Pair the Memo assortment with our Scholastic paper packet and My Stickease® assortment for your school-themed memories and more!

This elegant layout is tied together by antique elements from the Brocade assortment, Avonlea Complements canvas shapes, and the beautiful
Avonlea papers. Add a timeless quality to your memories with graceful
keys, broaches, and buttons from the Brocade assortment.

Whatever your project, embellishing will bring your artwork to life. Don’t forget about these exciting embellishments that add that extra “something” to your everyday
projects!
