Random Acts of Kindness

Here's a darling image today from Robin's Fetish stamps called Daisy Days.  I made this card for tomorrow's challenge at Monday Greetings Challenge.  The theme is to use flowers and create a spring theme card and of course, always add a greeting to the front of your card for the challenge.

So what is your favorite embellishment on cards?

I have to go back and forth between dies, ribbons, and buttons.  I also love brads ooo and flowers. Well, I am not sounding very decisive am I?  I guess if I had to put them in order, I would say I almost always use dies to cut out my images (but not necessarily as embellishments).  As embellishments I would say in this order: Buttons, flowers, brads, lace/ribbon.  How about you?

Cute card, Holley! I like the step style! I enjoyed reading about your favourite embellishments. If I'm making a CAS card, my favourite embellishment is die-cuts, sequins or gems. For a more layered and embellished card, I love adding die-cuts, flowers, butterflies, ribbon, and charms. Great question!

such a cheerful card with that fun fold!

almost every card I make has vintage buttons and ribbons or trims of some kind on it. :) and usually the more the better!

Oh, I love this card. It's so bright and positive!! And great shape too!
If die cuts count as embellishments, I'd have to say those as I use them on *all* of my cards, but otherwise my favourite embellishments are flowers, lace and ribbons.
Hugs! xx

I love the step style card too. This one is so cheerful and fun. I love using paper flowers and die cuts. I love ribbon. I think I love most embellishemnts.

Amy Martin said...

This is such a cute Card. I love your use of embellishments. And the image is so cute. I like using dies myself. I would have to say my favorite embellishments to use right now would be wood veneer, die cuts and flowers. I also like gems and brads and ribbon depending in the card I am making.

Cheryl said...

Love this image and card Holley! I very rarely make a card without a die cut on it. I can't afford to. I spend so much money on dies.

Love your oranges and yellows and with the blue they just SING! Love your embellies, too. I seem to have a thing for adhesive gems and pearls. I love die cuts and flowers, too. xxD

A fabulous card Holley. Great design and wonderful colours.
My Top Three favourite embellishments would have to be - in no particular order - ribbon, lace and flowers. Die-cuts and punched shapes often sneak in too. I'm useless at CAS cards, lol xx

Unknown said...

Ha, she'a me. Well me 60 years ago.lol
I was such a tomboy.
As far as embellishments I tend to use flowers most often. Then brads, ribbon, buttons, etc

Pat said...

Hi, Holley.Like your card. I like to use flowers, sequins and ink. I just love to distress with ink.

Hi Holley. Very cute card. I like brads, metal charms and lace. I have lots of buttons but always forget to use them!!!! Hugz

Donna said...

Adorable card! I like to make my cards flat usually because I send them in the mail so often. So I punch snowflakes or hearts or stars. But I do love brads and self-adhesive rhinestones. I have a ton of buttons but very seldom use them.

Shelley said...

Such wonderful, happy spring colors! I usually reach for charms, the fake gems, tiny sea shells and flowers.

Jean said...

So stinking cute! Love the colors and the embellies. I go to flowers and buttons!

Let me put it this way, I leave no embellishment behind as I love anything and everything I can work with that day.

Holley (Tondre) Barnhart said...

Good morning Holley. The bunny and the Random Acts of Kindness are not my favorites. The are nice cards and the colors are perfect. I really like the one with the saying Live life to the fullest.

Lovely bright card!! Love to use flowers with ribbons, or by themselves!

Ardilla said...

I think my order would be: rhinestones, ribbons, flowers and buttons. I also use die cuts little to embellish cards, but some times I used them to make flowers, together with punches.
Love the bright colors in your card!!!
