Embellishments- What are your favorite?

Coordinating stickers and die-cuts are also something that I like to use. And yes, enamel dots, but I'm kind of stingy in using them since they're sort of expensive.
Need to get over that. And you mentioned fibers in your other post - I still use them occasionally along with ribbon, but not as much as I used to.
Sometimes flowers, but I've never used them a lot. And once in awhile I'll use a few buttons.

I've really been embellishing less recently. I don't know if I like the clean lines or I'm just lazy!

My favorite item would be enamel dots. I have a lot of them and use them all the time.

Now that I have a standing desk with my Cricut set up permanently, I am using it more. I like the cut titles the most. I also have used it to cut outlines of states for travel layouts.

probably chipboard. I’ve realized I’m a minimalist when it comes to embellishing.

I use pretty much everything. I love
Memorabilia. Then stickers, die cuts, foam tape, distress inks, glitter pens and stickles, enamel dots and shapes, ribbon, washi, fiber, sometimes rub ons if they work right, letter stickers, and paper stacking/layering.

I also use dried and paper flowers and leaves, wood shapes, metals, charms. I can't think of anything I can say I never ever use.

My favorite thing is to embellish using actual stuff from an event -- like ticket stubs from concerts, the invitations from parties and weddings, a handful of confetti from that year's New Year's Eve party / event, an actual zoo map from the zoo I visited, etc. When I was out sailing, I tried to grab brochures from all the marinas and museums I visited. Those weren't always available -- but I am super grateful for the ones that were, because a lot of them have details I have long since forgotten.

My new most-used embellishment tool is the We R Memory Keepers Frame Punch Board. I'd honestly rather be using premade chipboard frames, but I'd practically need to be a billionaire to buy the number of premade frames I need. So I am buying a few premade ones and making the rest myself.

Anybody know of a good 3"x5" rectangle die? If I had one of those, I could cut down papers from 6x6" and 6x8" pads and use the 3"x5" die to cut out the center to make frames the right size for my 4"x6" pics. That's the only way I could think of to get frames the right size from my compact die cutter -- but I haven't yet found a good die the right size. Strange. You'd think there would be zillions of those available. Maybe there are and I'm just overlooking them, somehow.

When I first started scrapbooking, I used a lot of punches, premade die cuts, stickers (especially alphabet stickers) and ribbon. Nowadays, the ribbon has given way to washi tape, which is so much easier to use. I'm buying fewer premade die cuts and loading up on dies instead. I still use stickers selectively.

Other than that, I usually create a lot of my own embellishments using stamps or stencils. I used to use a lot of hand-stamped journaling blocks and hand-stamped sentiments, but I'm trying to get away from that (because it takes too long) and transition to doing that digitally now. I am not really having the success that I hoped with that, but I will keep trying...

I also like to embellish with my own artwork -- bits of spin art, doodles, little sketches, etc.

Most of my old punches broke, except for my Fiskars hand punches, which rusted at sea (I took them with me aboard our sailboat). They still work reasonably well despite the rust. I still use those fairly often. I'd buy replacements for them if they were still being made, but my favorites have been discontinued.

Stickers  are my favorite. 
I also like die cuts and ready made frames.

This set of A7 Nesting Rectangles is the one I bought that includes a 3"x5" die. It's the ninth one in. Any A7 set should have it, I think? They go from 5"x7" on down.  Many companies make A7 sets.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the link.

This looks like a fantastic option. I normally steer clear of Ali Express for crafty stuff, because it is important to me to support the companies that design and produce the supplies I use. I don't want to end up with knockoffs. However, I don't think that is a concern with plain rectangle dies, which aren't copyrightable as far as I know.

Oh goodness! I read this too fast and thought it said, "Embezzlements-What are your favourites?" . LOL I was all like wth is this thread about. (rolls eyes at self)

As for embellishments..I like diecuts and labels. I'll use anything though that's pertinent to the layout.

I'm a minimalist embellishment-wise

Stickers, die cuts (purchased or cut at home), enamel dots/nuvo dots tend to be my go-to

More occasionally - stamped images, eyelets/brads

Consistent with my scrapping style, I prefer archival, flat, & versatile embellishments (e.g. labels, tags, tabs) & often use tools, such as punches, dies, stencils/inks, embossing folders, etc. Embellishment clusters have never fit my simple/clean/linear/minimalist/"magazine-ish" scrap aesthetic.
