New topic:
What kind of embellishments do you use the most? I go in phases but I think that is because I always forget what I have.
I like die cuts and enamel dots. I hardly ever make a page that doesn't include one or the other or both. I often times use pop dots for the dies because I like dimensional pages.
I'm picky about my die cuts though- no stupid phrases, very few with white margins, and square/rectangle ones are my least favorite. American Crafts makes good ones- Echo Park/Carte Bella use too many square phrase ones, which is too bad because I like their papers.
I used to use a lot of wood shapes but for awhile I forgot I had them and got away from that. I have a ton- I need to start using them more again. I also went for a year or so where every page had ribbon or hand sewing on it. I think when I moved those supplies weren't out in front of me, so again, I forgot about them.
I never use epoxy because I was burned by that 20 years ago when it got yellow and peeled up. I'm also really hesitant to use flair. I used a lot of October Afternoon flair a long time ago and it has rusted. I have other brands from the same time period that are fine, though, so I don't know what the difference is.

I love enamel dots, too, probably my favorite embellishment. Lately, I’ve been using a lot of wood veneer. The Kaisercraft ones that come in a box are a great size. I have flair from 2peas and OA that unfortunately, rusted too. But other flair from Etsy and other places seems fine.

Chipboard. Pocket page friendly chipboard. Always and forever.
I love it and would give up all other embellishments to have an unlimited supply of chipboard.
I do love a label, too.

I Love enamel dots! Or, Nuvo drops! Love. Also, really like the wood pieces! Use them on almost every page too. They can go with anything! I also like tags. I don't use them all the time, but I do like to tuck them in here and there.

Label diecuts and/or stickers (but they have to be cardstock stickers), die cuts, tags, enamel dots, chipboard. I want to use more brads because I have a bunch to use up, but have a hard time using them due to their high profile.

I love tags. So MUCH! I actually will sit down and make tags just for fun. Here is one I made with distress inks, and a wax seal, rub ons and stamps and paper and twill.  |

Dies or the things I make with them actually. I love making things with dies sometimes the intended item, sometimes I’ll rearrange or alter to make something else
I just love playing with paper

I like to finish my cards with rhinestones,pearls or Nuvo drops.
Diecuts (the one I make w/dies or punches).

My favorite embellishments are enamel dots and spray mists. My pages don't feel "complete" if either is missing.
Great question. I'm enjoying reading everyone's responses!

I go through phases. Diecuts are probably used the most, cut from my electronic and manual machines. Beyond that, I forget to use them most of the time. I do like brads and stickers.

I go through phases. Each have had their own time or sometimes merging: wood veneer, doilies, mist/paint, and labels. Oh, and I had a flair fetish too. I'm working more frequently on smaller canvases now (TN or 11x8), so I'm not embellishing as much. I can't think of anything currently that must be on the page.

Nuvo Drops!! Crystal, Gloss, Glitter, Vintage, Dream, Stone, Jewel, and even Glow in the Dark - It doesn't matter what kind of Nuvo Drops because I love them all. (and some more than others...shhhh...don't tell the metallic crystal drops).
Labels and tabs are awesome too, but I can make a page without those. A page isn't done until added the Nuvo!

Chipboard pieces, small enough for pocket pages. Small stamps, enamel dots and rhinestones. Oh and washi tape!

Most of pages have mist splatters, a tag or label and a something attached with a tiny attacher staple.

I love stickers, especially 3D stickers. I love word die cuts and word stickers. I love die cuts and enamel dots.
I like to use ribbon and washi tape. I love memorabilia.

I don't have a favorite. I use whatever works for my layout. Dog hair is this season's most used embellishment.

Enamel dots, die cuts and stickers. I love all kinds of stickers but I really love small stickers especially the ones that are metallic or glittery, I tend to use these as you would an enamel dot or sequins.

Bling & stickers. Die Cuts (Ephemera) that I make with my stamps, dies & punches. I agree 950nancy about dog hair.  No page is complete without your furbabies adding their contribution, lol. |

I'm in a real floral phase right now, stickers, die cuts, fussy cut, whatever. I've also been trying to use enamel dots more frequently once I realised they had become something of a forgotten embellishment in my stash, so you'll find those on most pages along with gold mist.

Do labels count? If not, puffy stickers and enamel dots!

Lately, Die Cuts also, the packaged that comes with a collection, not ones I make. and Project Life type cards...are they being called pocket cards? or cut aparts? I find I use them quite a bit also.

I love it all. I actually find it really hard to scrap without embellishments. I find that most of my pages have a cluster base (large die cut or tag), and then stickers, stickers, and more stickers. I really love tiny phrase/word stickers. I cannot get enough of them!
