What embellishments do you buy?

I don't buy collections, but the embellishments I buy are:

Enamel dots & shapes

Some diecuts

some puffy stickers

Some regular stickers

Cut apart sheets

For a collection I love, I often end up with the papers, the diecuts, the stickers--both the full 12x12 sheets and the smaller cb or puffy sets--and sometimes the enamel dots &/or brads. Lately I have also been collecting the stamps and dies and stencils that go with the kits. Gee, thanks, ep and PhotoPlay and Simple Stories for making these all part of the opportunity to buy, buy, BUY!

I have never bought a collection. I buy bits and pieces. Almost always there are some papers or embellishments that I don't like or would never use.

I tend to buy:

-washi
-chipboard
-epherma packs
-puffy stickers
-stickers
-letter stickers
-enamel dots

And of course the papers I like.

I continue to add to my scrapbooking stash.

I don't know why, as I have TONNES of scrapbooking supplies, probably enough to open a franchise at this point, but sometimes just can't help myself

I rarely buy full collections... as full collections are impossible to come by in Canada. However, I do enjoy 12x12 collection packs (with the 12x12 sticker sheet), 6x6 or 6x8 pads, word stickers, paper embellishments / ephemera, letter stickers, and thickers.

I also have a bit of an obsession with buttons, wood veneers, and flair pieces etc...

At one point, I was obsessed with washi (please don't ask me how many rolls I own... I'm guessing 300+ rolls, help!) and brads. I also like enamel dots, but with them being super expensive, I have melted perler beads and now have an unlimited supply

And of course, it is hard to pass up a good sale.

Send help. I need it when it comes to my scrappy supplies

What embellishments I buy? Or use?

Buy? Too many.

Use? I’m still having some difficulty using stickers but apparently I’ve bought plenty of them. I hardly even use lawyer stickers or thickers because I always seem to want a different color so I diecut my own all the time. I stopped buying stickers except what comes in my kit but that will stop this fall.

I’m also having some trouble using premade diecuts/ephemera but I’m getting much better at using them, I’m now being picky when buying these. I want to see a picture of all of them in the pack and I won’t buy unless I’ll use 1/2 the pack or more. I won’t buy if I can’t see a picture of all of them.

I do use ( and buy ) enamel dots so I’ll always pick up enamel dots unless they are weirdly high priced. So I buy enamel dots readily.

Puffy stickers I’ll use if they are generic enough ( hearts butterflies florals ) but I struggle to use them if they are too specific or have phrases on them. I’m being cautious with buying puffy stickers.

Wood veneer or laminate I don’t use and don’t buy. I have a couple from warehouse boxes but that’s it. They are in my donate box right now. Caveat - if I somehow picked up a wooden souvenir that will go in a pocket by itself. I just haven’t warmed up to the wood veneers. I don’t know why. It’s not the acid free thing I really can’t explain a reason why.

Matching card stock is my most used embellishment lol

I love creating in the Shabby Chic style (among other styles). I love prima flowers, ribbons, buttons, ephemera and bling anything!

I also love clean and simple for my masculine pages. There I like to use chipboard, enamel dots, brads and my own dies.

One thing I didn't get into collecting is washi tape. I only have a few rolls that I wanted to try out.

I'm pretty much the same as you except I don't often buy the enamel dots (just because I have a ton of them already) and I don't usually buy any charms.  Washi, puffy tiny stickers, frames...no. I do love Thickers though and will usually grab them when I see them for a good price at Tuesday Morning. 

I usually either just buy paper by the sheet or I'll buy the collection kit which comes with paper, stickers, and sometimes cut-aparts.

I do pick up enamel dots but usually not for a specific collection. Diecuts - only if they seem versatile for my pages.

Stickers (including the Jolee style puffed or 3d type stickers)
Frames
Thickers
Die cuts 
Pocket type cards(not sure if this is the correct term).....but I don't use them in a pocket.  Usually a 12 x 12 sheet that has to be cut or one that are sold individually or as a set, and they are sometimes assorted sizes of cut outs..
Washi tape

I use enamel dots, wood veneer, brads and make my own with stamps. However my latest faves are from Color Cast Designs 😍

If it’s a collection I love, I have to hold myself back from buying everything. I usually get the die cuts and/or stickers at the very least.

I usually buy the diecuts (if I think I’ll use more than 1/2 a pack.) and either the chipboard stickers, or cardstock stickers (again, if I would use at least 1/2 the sheet.)

As for enamel dots, I just go by colors, not collections, so I will only
biy those at a discount.

Not really any.
Sometimes I get embelishments in my thrift hauls, but generally I make whatever I need. Unless it's ribbon or a fastener or something, which gets raided from the office supplies cabinet or sewing supplies stash. To me they're just too expensive for what you get. I'd rather spend money on tools or reusable supplies or things that will go further, like paper.

All of it, except puffy stickers, washi, and wood veneer. I hate puffy stickers and have more than enough washi and wood veneer.
