Hi Mary, My favorite embellishment would be ribbon -it can be used so many ways.
I’m torn between the new Vintage Brads in the main catalog and the little pom pom fringe in the mini. Hope we get the latter in more colors.
I like the Vintage Brads.
I have always been a fan of BLING—so, if I can’t count Iridescent Ice or the new Glitter paper as embellishments, it would have to be the pearls and rhinestones. They really vamp up ordinary cards to make them eye-catching! Thanks for your endless blog ideas and candy giveaways!!

I’ve had a long-time love for the pearls, but never really knew what to do with them, other than plunking them in a corner or such…I love the look of random placement of the pearls, and am WORKING on that technique (ever notice how it takes certain *deliberate~ness* to place things randomly??) thanks for a chance to win some candy!

The rhinestones. They are far superior quality than those found at craft stores. I hope they get some colored ones!
I would have to say the pearls. I haven’t used the rhinestones yet, but I am sure that I will like them too. It is hard to pick just one thing. I like brads and ribbon too. I wish that SU would have more epoxy brads like the ones from last years Valentine’s collection.
What delicious blog candy, Mary! My favorite embellishment is ribbon!!
I love using the library clips and who doesn’t love pearls and flowers!? Pick me, pick me!
When scrapbooking and making cards I like to use ribbon. I haven’t gotten a chance to use the pearls yet, but hope to soon. They seem to add a lot to your project and are very girly!
Ribbon! Definitely ribbon! Easiest embellishment to use and creates the most effect!
right now I am loving the pearls, but always use ribbon!
terri b.
I love the pearls – every shape and size they include.
Buttons!
I am really digging the sweet stitches fabric brads right now. But, I have to say that shimmer paint is my all time favourite. It is the glitz without the mess 🙂
WOW – so many comments – but you gotta enter to win!! Thanks for a chance at these LOVELIES! My favorite embellishment by far is using pearls, either as a little something on the side or inside handmade flowers.
The flowers–CUTE!!! But my fav embellishment is probably that Ice Cream Parlor ribbon/buttons! Thank you for being so generous!
Ribbon is my favorite embellishment, it’s so versatile. I love the “scrunching” effect you share with us.
Hi
Ribbon, and I love the soft new seam binding!
I use ribbon most…Thanks for the chance to win.
It’s easy to answer this one, it’s all about the pearls! I don’t have enough of them…ever!
Hi Mary, my favorite embellishment is ribbon and all the different ways to use it. I love scrunch, bows everything you can do with it. I also love pearls and buttons. Whatever is the current embellishment is the one I love! I enjoy looking at your blog everyday and great ideas you have. Thanks for sharing the blog candy hope I win.

The pearls have got it. Just like my Grandmother told me, “A lady isn’t dressed until she puts on her pearls” Same with a card. So elegant
I love embellishments of every kind. Each card dictates what I will use. But if I had to state a favorite it is between rhinestones and ribbons.
I was thinking my favorite was brads but it’s really ribbon as it adds just that right touch.
My favorite embellishment would be pearls.
I love using ribbon. Most of my cards have ribbon on them. I love the little pearls, too!
I love using brads and eyelets!! Buttons too!! Super easy and they add great interest!
Hands down…the pearls and rinestones!
I just love ribbon, I love collecting it using it on all my card. I do however, find that rhinestones always add that finishing touch. I love to bling things.
Ribbon is my absolute favorite embelly. I very rarely make a card without ribbon. My second fav is a pearl sticker. They are getting hard to find in different sizes. Would love this selection of pearls. Have a great day!!!
If you could see all the ribbon in my craft room you would think that was my favorite, but actually I just collect it and rarely use it. I do love and use the pearls though.
Love the pearls! Very close second is the seam binding and the antique style brads! Gorgeous!
Buttons! It’s definitely buttons. Different sizes and styles can add just the right touch to the card.
Thanks for your great blog. My favorite embellishment is anything shiny.
Cassie
Your cards are such an inspiration to me. I would have to say my fav embellishment is any type of bling.
I love the brads!! I just can’t get enough of them 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win some great blog candy, would love to play with these items!! Thanks for all the inspiration and creativity you share as well!
Hmmmm. . . My favorite . . . It’d have to be the pearls. No, the ribbon. No, the pearls. OK, it’s the ribbon for sure. And – I LOVE the way that you teach us how to use ribbon! I’d love to win this blog! Thank you for your instructions each day!
I love the antique brass, but SUs ribbon is always the perfect embelly
I guess as so many of your other followers, I’d have to say ribbon since it is one of the “add-on’s” I use on almost all of my cards and projects. It just is that “finishing touch” in most instances. Although I do love the pearls and rhinestones quite a bit.
Thanks for all your inspiration in sharing your lovely cards, I really enjoy looking at them.
I love the pearls…what a great thing to have.
Jessica
I LOVE ribbon, and Stampin Up pearls.
I can not complete a card without it.
It is very hard to hod myself back from
“over embellishing”.
FAVORITE EMBELLISHMENT……. R I B B O N…… it ADDS the FINAL spark to a homemade card
My favorite embellishment is buttons!! Thanks for the chance for winning some bling! You are great!
Have to say RIBBON!!!!but brads and rhinestones follow a close second, then theres die cuts and glitter and well i could go on and on=)))
My fav’s are ribbon and buttons. I just love the texture they add.
I love ribbon! I rarely make a card without ribbon on it.
My favorite is ribbon followed by embossing and then the pearls and rhinestones. Great blog candy. Thanks for sharing. Mary
I love the fabic brads in the Occassions Mini they are so addictive…
I love the pearls I think they make a card classy. 🙂
Ribbon! Ribbon! Ribbon! And, of course, rhinestones!
Love your blog, Mary – keep it comin’ 🙂
Karen
I don’t know if this counts as an embellishment, but I absolutely adore the Big Shot’s Top Note. I find myself using it again and again – both on the front and inside cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
hmmmm hard to choose between the pearls & seam binding ribbon!
For sure it would be a tie between ribbon and pearls. That would be followed by lace, ric rac and buttons. But then I like brads and eyelits. Oh and Glitter is fun too…………..
Ribbon – I’m a “Ribbon-aholic”
Lately my embelishment addiction is ribbon!
I, too, am in love with the pearls, but I also love the rhinestones. They both can give a card that added extra touch!
I love the pearls. They make even the simplest project look elegant.
I LOVE the pearls but I just can’t live without SU ribbons.
Love the library clips.
Although I love all the embellishments, my very favorite are pearls. Was so excited when SU! started offering them.
My favorite embellishment is the Basic Pearls. I Love them!
I just love using the pearls when I’m making flowers or using them with tags of any kind:)
I love these accents. They really add to the beauty of my cards. Thanks for the chance . Ais
Brads! What an easy way to add a lot of “something” to a design!
I love the pearls!
My favorite embellishment is definitely the pearls. I love that you can change the color to match any card!
Love love your site,ribbons and pearls are my favs.
I’m a ribbon gal too! Thanks for sharing your talent!
I love all embellishments, but I almost always use ribbon in all of my projects; brads and rinestones are a close second though. Thanks again for the chance to win such a great prize.
Ribbon- hands down! It adds texture, depth, and has a wow factor that dresses up even the simplest card! Ooh la la!
The 3/8 tafetta ribbon for sure. I’m so glad they keep adding new colors. Razzelberry and Marina Mist are probably my favorites, but I love the subtle hue of all of them …
WOW! What can I say. I love SU embellishments, too. Just about every card has to have some kind of extra thing on it to make it stand out. I think my favorites are the brads. I use them all the time. Either the brads or the little faux pearls and diamonds. Love them!!
I love ribbon and rhinestones, although I tend to hoard my ribbon cause I don’t want to use it up! haha
Mary, my favorite would be “Brads” the add so much to a project they are quick to. You have an awesome blog thanks for sharing
I love using ribbon. When I make a card that does not have it, I seem to always wonder what is missing. Love your blog and can’t wait to look and see what is new each day!!
I have now become a fan of any “bling” in the form of pearls and jewels. With 3 young boys at home, I haven’t let my “girly” side show as much, but that’s changing with the bling!
Pearls or rhinestons…everything looks better with pearls or rhinestones. =)
Love all the embellishments, but my favorite are the pearls.
I must admit my latest addiction, the cute little pearls and rhinestone stickers. So easy, subtle, but bling-e, at the same time.
I like to use jewels on my cards. It’s all I need to feel the card is complete, and it is small and sutle, but perfect whether you use 1, 2 or 3. Next is ribbon and then brads.
I would have to say that my favorite embellishment is RIBBON. It just adds so much to a card OR project.
Susan B.
Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon because it can add a special touch in so many different ways…flat,straight across the card, with a bow or my favorite…a knotted “bow”.
I too, love the pearls! So elegant…
Thank you for the chance!
Caroline
I’m with you, I love the Pearls, and also love your site………Great Ideas. Maralee

Boy, that is a hard one, but I really do love pearls on me and on my cards. Thank you for all your inspirations.
Teri in So CA
I would have to say pearls right now. everything just seems to look more “put together” with pearls added. Brads are great also.
Ribbon would have to be my favorite embellishment!! I rarely make a card without it. I think brads and buttons would be my 2nd and 3rd place choice!
I love ribbon. I can hardly make a card with out ribbon on it somewhere. Thanks for the chance to win.
Pick one embellishment…hmmmm! I use so many and different ones at that…ribbon almost always but I’ve never used the Accents and Elements Fleurttes and would love to win those! (especially since now they are retired and no longer available.!!!)
The Basic Pearls add the perfect touch to any card.
I love the pearls!
Thanks for a chance to win! Love your blog!
GeryB
Champagne Glitter! It adds just the right amount of glitz and glamour without going over the top.
I love buttons of every shape, color, size and variety!
I love sparkle. So I would have to go with Dazzling Diamonds or the Rhinestone Jewels.
My favorite would be the pearls. I just love the look.
Ooooh, this is some pretty candy! My name is Michelle and I’m a ribbon addict. hehe
Buttons! Buttons! Buttons! I just love the way buttons can be classy, playful, or simple.
I love the pearls and the new big buttons
My absolute must have on every card is ribbon. I love the texture it adds. I love the patterns and variety it adds as well. And, any leftover – looks great in my daughters hair!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas Mary!
love love love the pearls!!!!
My Favourite embellishment right now is the pearls. I just find them so easy to use and they look so elegant!
Hi Mary!
I love to use ribbon as an embellishment. It really finishes off a card nicely.
Thanks for another Blog Candy chance.
Love,
Kathy :0D
Corduroy brads and flowers!
I LOVE BLING!!
Oh to choose one favorite embellishment is not too easy to do as Stampin’ Up! has so many wonder ones; however, if I have to I would say it is the dazzling diamonds….. Good luck to everyone who is entering this blog contest…..
My favorites are the rhinestones!!! No matter what work you do, you can always add that eye catching spark to your cards with the rhinestones!!!
I love the ribbon and how the colors coordinate with the other Stampin Up products. Anything bling comes next. Love your blog, Mary!
Love them all- but it’s gotta be the pearls. I Guess I’m just a June Cleaver kinda gal!Close second is the shimmer paints added to alcohol and sprayed… LOVE the effect…
I think these days The Glimmer Brads have my vote! I do a lot with Flowers and Butterflys, and I get pretty excited by that extra punch to my designs with the gorgeous sparkle that matches my paper colors! SU rocks the industry with coordinating products!
Ribbons and sparkle!
My favorite embellishment is pearls, for sure. I love checking your blog everday and thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Mary! My favorite embellishment is ribbon hands down! But there definitely so many things to choose from buttons, brads, rhinestones, pearls I love them all!
thanks for the chance to win your candy and for continuing to be such an inspiration with all your beautiful work!
Elizabeth
My favorite embellishment is ribbon. I love the wide striped grosgrain, but especially enjoy using the new seam binding ribbon. I love the versatility and how many different looks you can get with it.
Sunny Hasler
Any kind of ribbon is my favorite! thanks for the chance to win.
I love all the ribbons that Stampin’ Up makes. It’s my favorite embellishment because it coordinates perfectly with all the paper etc. and I don’t have to go to the store and hunt for just the right colors.
I’m all about the bling. Love to embellish my cards with rhinestones, they make everything pop.
Hi Mary, I enjoy your blog and really appreciate the projects and pearls of wisdom you share with us. My favorite embellishment is ribbon followed closely by pearls.
Thanks for the opportunity to win the yummy “candy”.
Blessings,
Terri D.
It’s a toss up between buttons and ribbon for me. Currently, buttons are winning! Thanks so much for offering the candy. Looks like some great items.
I use ribbon on most of my cards, brads would be a close second.
Love all your stuff!
Pearls! Definitely my favorite embellishment!
Buttons! Glitter!! Flock!!! Rhinestones!!!! OMG it is hard to choose!! Love them all!
The new pom-pom trim is very special to me. Thanks for your blog.
I love the crochet flowers. I thought I would be making these myself. But…….
Have to say, it’s gotta be bling! Jewels, Pearls, or even pearlescent spray or paint!
I don’t know which embellishment I use more, ribbon, pearls, or rhinestones. I use others, but those three the most.
I agree, Mary–SU little pearls are the best on the market.
Jeanie
Pearls and rhinestones are my favorite embellishment. I would say ribbon as well. Heck, I love it all.
RIBBONS AND PEARLS AND BRADS OH MY!!!
Ha! Have a great day!
Vicki A. of Glendale, AZ.
BLING! What’s a card without some “BLING”!!? Stampin’ Up!’s Rhinestones are sooooo amazingly awesome!!
Tiearra
crazy but i always end up reaching for my linen thread!
Oooooh! I love the rhinestones and the pearls. But I did just get the subtles buttons…they are running a close second! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d have to say it is a tie between glitter and ribbon. Either of these can do so much for a card. Thanks for offering blog candy!
Kathy N.
I don’t know why, but eyelets have always been my favorite embellishment. I once made a card with 21 eyelets on it! I think it’s the way they squish a little when you set them with a hole punch. I love the way you often add a row of 2 or 3 eyelets to your cards, Mary. So pretty! I also love ribbon and I’ve been dying to try the pearls. Thanks for the chance at candy. Love your blog.
I LOVE glitter! I’m always disappointed when I make a card and can’t find a good way to add a little glitter!
The ribbon & seam binding – so versatile!
I love to use ribbon, but inherited a lot from my Mom’s craft collection which I felt I needed to use. So haven’t bought much of the SU ribbon. Would love to have some to use as a coordinating embellishment. Thanks for offer.
Pearls is the BEST thing Stampin Up has. I just can’t get enough enough pearls. I try to put them on everything.
Debbie
Hi Mary! Hard to pick just one, but I would have to say ribbon is my favorite! Thanks for the chance to win.
Julie L.
There’s no way to pick just one but the 2 I use the most are ribbon and brads – SU has colors of both to go with everything and they both can take a card from good to GREAT!
It is the rhinestone or pearls that I use on almost every card I make. It adds the perfect touch. Thanks for the chance.
Ribbon! I LOVE ribbon! Almost all my cards seem to have ribbon somewhere on them. I’d love to win your blog candy; thanks for the chance…[btw, if I do win, give me a little break on the 24 hour thing as your blog always arrives 1 day late; don’t know why].
My favorite embellishment is ribbon. My second favorite are the pearls. They both are so simple to use and really “class” up a card. Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy and for all of your wonderful projects that you share with us.
Connie Z.
I would love to win! I really like to embelish with ribbon! Thanks! Beth

I love the ribbon and the pearls. They reall give a card the WOW factor.
Ribbon for me is a must! BUT I also like to make my own embellishments with all my punches. Hearts,two step owl,two step bird,tags and flowers….the list goes on! Great for doing ahead of time and adding to scrapbooking later..love to use them for journaling space. Love,love,love your site!
Any embellishment is fun to add but I’d have to say that ribbon is my favorite. It’s the final thing that pulls everything together! A patterned ribbon let’s you play with putting crazy colors together, a solid satin or sheer can add instant elegance. SO many options to give your card that finished ‘pop’!
Thanks so much for all your ideas! Your talent continues to amaze and inspire me!! When I get excited to spot an ‘idea’ from one of your creations I always wonder what inspires you?!
My favorite is RIBBON — all kinds of it; sometimes multiples of it!! Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for all your inspirational sharing. MJ
My favorite is ribbon. There are so many things you can do to enhance the beauty of your card. Thanks for the chance to win!
my favorite embellishment is something SU no longer carries, shrink plastic! If I have to go with a “current” item, it would be ribbon.
My favorite to use are the pearls and rhinestones. I make a lot of invitations for weddings and showers- they always give the perfect amount of elegance and professionalism to projects!
I use ribbon on most of my cards…but the pearls are a close second.
My fav is ribbon — the SU seam binding is great. Love the colors and the texture..thanks for a chance to win.
In addition to ribbon, I just love to add pearls to my creations. Thanks for the chance to win.
Mary, your cards are always the best, I can not wait to open your blog and see what you have done….of all embellishments, I use brads the most but love pearls..
The rhinestones are great to add to card. Especially when put in the middle of a flower.
I’d have to say the pearls are my favorite, they can totally change the whole look and feel of a card. Mary
My fave embellie?
Ribbon, Glitter or Embossing.
Like with my kids, too tough to play faves.
Hi Mary! I use both ribbons and buttons on my creations. It’s a toss between the two! Love all the beautiful colors.
I love ribbon!
My favorite embellishment to date is the Perfect Pearls. I don’t care what the theme of any card I’m making is, I find a place to use them. Even my Halloween cards had them as eyes on the little ghosts. Absolutely wonderful and the best part – they actually stick and don’t fall off.
I would have to say the pearls are my favorite because that’s mostly all I’ve ever used…but I’m learning to incorporate more embelishments to my cards…I’ve learned it just adds that special little touch. Thanks for the chance to win!!
My favorite element is lace. Lace always make my cards that much more elegant looking.
I love, love, love the self adhesive pearls! The tiniest size is perfect for the centers of punched flowers and don’t add bulk to the card! Kate
I love to use blings/rhinestones as well as rub-ons.
-Marianne
My favorite embellishments are alittle bling, coming thru the pearls, jewels and brads, but they all have a perfect place depending what type of card you are making. Embellishments make all the difference!!!
While it is hard to pick one favorite I would have to say I use ribbon more than any other embellishment so that is my favorite. I love stampin up’s as I can always count on it matching perfectly. Love, love, love to use embellishments to make my cards pop.
The embellshment I use most is definitley ribbon, but the pearls are my true favorite. (That’s why I’m always out of them.) They add an elegance to every card.
Mary I love your works of art and your videos!
My favorite of all embellishments are the layers
Flowers.
I used to just have to have all the ribbon because I love how it finished off a card. Now, I’ve moved past that. 🙂 I’m loving the pearls and the rhinestones!!
Thanks for offering such awesome blog candy!!

Vintage Brad! Just love them!
I like all the embellishments but the one I use most often is buttons.
I have to say it is the Build a Brad – although not one that I use often enough! I do love the Pearls (and use them a LOT). Thank you for all your inspiring posts.
My favorite embellishment are the vintage brads. I wish they would include more of them in the holiday mini’s.
I just love pearls and rhinestones. A card has no bling without them.
Bling, I love a little sparkle!
Dear Mary, I love the ribbon, The ribbon is so pretty it can really dress up a card. It can go from so to “WOW” just by adding some ribbon. I have a custom made craft room and I have one shelf that has four shelves just for ribbon. I would love to have a chance to win some ribbon. Thanks You are amazing. Thanks for all of your talent. We are so lucky to have you giving us advice and ideas. Thanks, Ellen
I think I will have to go with ribbon, it just seems to make the project!
I love ribbon, especially Stampin Up’s taffeta. It ties so beautifully, and you get so much more on a spool than you do at the “big box” stores!
My favorite embellishment has to be ribbon, but pearls are ranked right behind.
Well, it’s tough to choose just one favorite, but I’d have to say ribbon. I’m definitely a ribbon-o-holic! Sometimes if I don’t have ribbon on a card it looks naked to me! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy…yum!
I love the pearls and rhinestones! I’ve always loved adding bling to my cards and these are so easy to pop on where ever you want.
Vintage Trinkets w/ribbon!!
It has to be bling – any type of rhinestone or pearl…everyone smiles when they get a card or porject with bling. 🙂
Thanks and have a great day!
I love ribbon, but I’m starting to use more of the pearls and I love them! Embellishments are really the key to making a pretty card a WOW card and I’m working on adding more to my creations. 🙂
My favorite embellishment are the pearls! Thay add a touch of elegance to any project!
I would have to say that pearls are my favorite embellishment. Rhinestones are next. They add that little somethin’ at the end. Thank you for the chance to Win some candy.
I love, love, love embellishments! I must say I rarely make a card without some kind of ribbon.
Pearls are my fav! I wear them with jeans or dressing up so it works for cards ,too!! Fancy or fun— colored or white— they make them beeeeeutiful!!! Vicki
I think that my absolute favorite right now are the Antique Brads!
My very favorite embellishment has to be ribbon, I use it the most. I just love the look of it.
Buttons & ribbon
Flowers, paper, silk, ribbon or crocheted it doesn’t matter as long as it is covered in flowers!!
This is as difficult as deciding which is your favorite child….
But, if I had to pick just one without which I would be heartbroken, I would have to pick ribbon; just thinking this brings a smile to my face!
Oh Gosh do I have to pick just one LOL. I love the pearls. They are great to dress up a card to give it an elegant touch and they are great to add accents to more casual cards!
I love the antique brads….they are so elegant!!!! I also love your blog….you are so fabulous!! Thanks for all you do….Pam
Ribbon is my favorite, followed by pearls. Thanks for the chance at some awesome candy. jmniffer at comcast dot net
Pearls!

I love those pearls! I really have lost touch – I had no idea SU sold those! So glad I found your blog to keep me updated 🙂 – oh yeah, and a chance for blog candy~
Ribbon is my favorite embellishment, but pearls and rhinestones tie for my second favorite! Thanks for the chance at winning some blog candy!
I like to add a pop of glitter or crystal effects as a fun and easy embellishment.
My favorite is ribbon. I use it on almost all my cards. Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy! (The very best kind of candy ever!)
When I am going for an elegant finish, pearls are best. They are also better for a card that will be mailed through USPS. If I want the card to be warm and friendly, I like to use ribbon as a bow (if hand delivered) or flat trim (if mailed).
Hands down my favorite embellishment is ribbon especially SU ribbon.
My favorite embellishment is buttons, they give dimension and you can create using the buttons, i.e. flowers, stems, etc. Love em!
I am a ribbon kinda girl……you can do so much with it…..
Love this beautiful Flowers!
Nice Wishes
Meli
Love ribbons, pearls…and your blog!
Pearls…brads…buttons…it’s a tough choice, but I think my favorite embellishment must be ribbon!
I love the vintage brads, they add such a classy touch to every card.
Currrently I am loving SU’s new seam binding – I love the versatility of it and the fact that it doesn’t bulk up my cards!
My favorite embellishment…Wow, there are so many to choose from…But I would have to say that ribbon is my favorite. I put it on almost everything! It really dresses up a project. Any kind of ribbon, satin, grosgrain, taffeta, crocheted, seam binding..love it all! Thanks for the opportunity for a great prize.
I do love those pearls, but my go-to embellishment is probably glitter 🙂
I also love the clear dew drops when I don’t want something as flashy as a rhinestone, they’re so nice for CAS cards and a touch more contemporary.
No doubt about it… it is the pearls
Rhinestones…I love the BLING BLING!!!!
I love all the Stampin’ Up! ribbons and the pearls are one of the best ideas that SU! has brought out…an easy way to add elegance and panache to a card or paper craft.
I love the Jewels Basic Pearls & Rhinestones. They add just enough and are so easy to use. Love the fact that they are already sticky. Thank you for all the great ideas you send out.
This is hard but I guess ribbon first, buttons second and flowers third. Really, all of the SU embellishments are so much fun.
MaryC
Hi Mary. I’m new to your blog – found it last week – and am LOVING it! You share such wonderful cards and projects. My favorite embellie without a doubt is ribbon! I can hardly make a card without it! Thank you for the chance to win such wonderful goodies!
My favorite embellishment is flowers. I even use flowers on the cards I make for men, as many men really like flowers. I use flowers that I purchase and also flowers that I make from your videos.
I love buttons and ribbon 🙂
I love to add ribbon to my projects. It adds that special touch to soften the look or accent the color.
I love rhinestones, I love anything Bling. Sparkly, shiny, anything that will make it stand out 🙂
Nicola Nahrgang
Have a great weekend!
Stampin up has the prettiest, shineist rhinestones of any I have ever bought, they are my favorite Barbara
I love the pearls! What a pretty, elegant touch!
Pearls, pearls, pearls!!! Love them!! Especially since SU came out with their pearls in all the different sizes! Love IT!!!
My favorite embellishment is ribbon. But lately I’ve been really liking the vintage safety pins along with the tiny tag punch/stamp.

Ribbon…I love all kinds of ribbon. Right now I am “into” scrunching the ribbon up
Buttons usually …sometimes ribbon!
Love embellishments….all of them!! The new glitter brads give just the right bling for flower centers,the pearls are so elegant, and the ribbon is sometimes just necessary. Love your blog and wish I was computer savy enough to do one myself. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have to say, the embelllie I use most is ribbon, but I love brads, and twine is great for masculine cards.
Buttons, and ribbon… can usually find both of these on any card I make! Or brads, love brads too!
Thanks Mary, for another chance at Blog Candy!
Ribbon, ribbon, and more ribbon!
My favorite embellishment right now is anything blingy…

ONE of my favorite embellishments are the pearls and one of my other favorites is ribbon! I also love the look of brads, I guess I could go on and on. haha
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love them all! But if I had to pick just one, I’d choose the pearls/rhinestones. They’re great for adding that little something extra to a project without adding bulk, something you must keep in mind when making cards to be sent through the mail.
I love the self adhesive pearls and rhinestones! I am a CAS card maker and either of these just add that “special touch”! Thank you for sharing.
Ribbon Ribbon Ribbon! Always the perfect accent. Pretty in Pink is my most used ribbon.
I love the new pearls and rhinestones!
I think the pearls/rhinestones are my most favoprite.

Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite embellishment is a tie between the pearls and Stampin’ Dimensionals…I’m not sure if they count but they add a lot of wow from behind the scenes 🙂 Thanks for offering the great blog candy! Love your new blog banner….very springy!
I love the Rhinestones and Pearls that Stampin’ Up has. They are an excellent value! I’ve bought several packs and I just can’t get enough bling!
I love ribbons and buttons. So many different arrangements can be done with them.
Pearls are my favorite. I add them to almost every card I make.
Ribbon!! Can never have enough.
I enjoy the flowers and brads a lot. My upland, Mary Ammar of Sandpoint, Idaho is a great help and full of great ideas!
I absolutely love brads!! They look great on any project. My favorites are the silver brads and antique brads!
I love the crocheted ribbon! I love the antique feel it gives to a card! I also love your banner at the top of your Blog but keep me in the drawing! 🙂
My very favorite embellishment is ribbon. I love how versatile it is. I can tie it in a knot, a bow, lay it flat, loop it, and probably 10 other things that I haven’t even discovered yet! Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for all the inspiration you give!
I have been in love with buttons lately.. what a lovely assortment fro the occasions mini!
I love the bling, then the pearls! Love your blog!

Colored brads!
The best dressed cards have pearls! Paulette
It’s hard to pick just one, but lately I am in love with the Satin Ribbon collection. May seam basic but I have been able to make some pretty bows with it!
I really like the little handmade crocheted flowers, Fleurettes II. They are darling and dye up beautifully to coordinate with any project and they look marvelous! The pearls are wonderful too…8-) Thanks for all the creativity you share. Please enter me for a chance to win your blog candy!!

Love the pearls and rhinestones. A girl has gotta have some bling. Thanks for all of your beautiful postings.
Hands-down my favorite is ribbon. You can make it take on any kind of look. My absolute FAVORITE! And thanks for all your posts! It’s great inspiration 🙂
my absolute favorite embellishment is ribbon. it can make an elegant touch to a card or even a playful one. depending on the color and type of ribbon, it’s the one embellishment that i think suits EVERY project….even “manly” ones! ribbon is always one of the first things on my list to buy with each new catalog and mini and it’s the one embellishment i just can’t do without!
I would have to say when I reach for an embellisment it would be dazzling diamonds, ribbons and brads
I enjoy using the pearls most with my cards. Thanks for a chance to win. Peggy Porter
Ribbon use to be my favorite but now it’s the pearls! I love them! They add just enough with out over powering the card. Thanks
Love dazzling diamonds. Bling Bling! I also love sakura gelly rolls pens, especially the stardust collection. They really add that extra something special. Even though they’re not SU, who doesn’t use other materials, try them.
Thanks Mary
I love the pearls – Love, love, love them! Thanks for a chance to win!
My favorite SU! embellishment has to be the brads. No worrying if it matches. And SU! keeps coming up with great ones. Thanks for the opportunity to win some of the yummy blog candy.
I’m in your camp with the Basic Pearls – – and especially like that you can custom color them with Stampin’ Up! ink refills and a touch of clear embossing powder. Makes them even more flexible to use.
pick one!!!! I guess I wold say pearls
Good morning, Mary: I love ribbon, you can never go wrong with adding it to any occasion card. It dresses them up even if you don’t put anything else on them. Thanks for the chace to participate to win blog candy goodies!!
Maria.
I love Ribbon. It’s so much you can do with it. Thanks for the opportunity to win the goodies. Enjoy your blog and creativity.
I usually find myself just using brads, but I did go to a class where we made “card candy.” I pull those out every so often, but I find that I’m really stingy with them.
Thanks for the chance to win your cute blog candy!

I love using pearls for my spring cards…they add such a nice touch to pretty floral cards.
My favorite card embellishment is the stampin up satin ribbon. It really adds something to a card. thanks for the chance at the candy blog. love your cards. thank you
I love ribbon. A card isn’t complete without some type of ribbon. Thanks for the giveaway!
While it is very difficult to pick just one embellishment I would have to say ribbon is my favorite constant and as for the newer items…the half pearls and rhinestones.

I love the new rhinestone and pearl jewel!!
My favorite is riboon. or no, it’s pearls. No, maybe it is sparkly brads.. Oh my – anything that adds bling is a favorite of mine! Just like your blog. Thank you.
I’m helping a friend do wedding invitations so it’s definitely the pearls.
I love any kind of embellishment, Stampin Up! has so many to offer it makes it easy. But my favorite is ribbon and brads…it just seems to makes every card special 🙂
I look forward to reading your blog everyday, Mary, and to see how you will inspire me with new ideas! Thank you!!

I just love the pearls. Pearls are a subtle bling. They are simple and elegant.
I love pearls and also buttons. Simple items that add so much to a card. I, of course, love ribbon, too! Thanks for a chance to win some more bling, Mary.
i love the pearls look so pretty on cards add the extra touch.
I love the flowers that you can dye with the different ink colors. It is so much fun to have everything on the card matching in colors:)
I love the smaller size rhinestone and pearls – subtle touches. I also find myself using raffia, bakers twine and cording more and more – adds something to those masculine cards. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
I use alot of ribbon, but I really enjoy using pearls on my creations. They are such a simple and elegant touch! Thanks for the chance to win, Mary!
Who doesn’t love Jewels!?! I love to “Bling” things up with the Rhinestone jewels or add a touch of sophistication with Pearls. Either way you’re sure to find one of these jems somewhere on my cards!
LOVE ribbon!!!!!!!! Great bow Tutorial. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
I think that the pearls are my favorite. Love your site and chance to win blog candy too!!!
My favorite embellishment is ribbon if favorite means the thing your use the most.
My favorite embellishment is ribbon, followed by pearls and buttons. Thank you for the chance to win!!
Pearls for sure. I think pretty much every card I design these days has at least 1 pearl. Seam binding or Tafetta ribbon is probably next on the list. I love the Hodgepodge Hardware too but I tend to forget I have a box since it ends up at the back of the shelf. So sad. I better go move it now! Oh and I love the new Windowpanes but am still figuring out how to use them.
Hm…does shimmer paint and homemade shimmer spray count as an embellishment? Love that too.
Thanks Mary for continuing to inspire us and show us lots of wonderful ways to use the bounty of the SU catalog.
My favorite embellishment is ribbon. I love the perkiness it gives to a card.
I go through phases as to my favorite but right now i think it is the pearls!
I use to use ribbon on just about everything. I recently just bought the pearls and have used them. They just add a certain style to some cards.
Pearls are my favorite. Thanks for your inspriing blog.
I LOVE the new Seam Binding – It’s a great weight and has a dressy yet shabby feel – wish it was available in all colors but at least I can get some of my favorites…Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake!
I like the new glitter brads. They are so much fun and add just a little bling to any card.
Ribbon is my all-time fave, created with beautiful bows. I love your tutorial on bow tying, too. Thanks for the candy opportunity, Mary. You rock!
The pearls are my favorite! I enjoy reading your blog so much. Thanks for the chance to win!
Pearls were next up on my list of things to buy. I think they make a card so regal. Love your blog.
It’s all about the BLING! But ribbon is great too.
Have a great day!
I never use to “embellish” but over the years I have LOVED seeing cards that were – now my “favorite” are the many different “buttons” SU has to offer. I use them on everything – even my clothes!

Ribbon is my favorite go to embellishment because you can do so many different things with it. Thanks for the chance to win!
I was thrilled to see our half-back adhesive Rhinestone and Pearl jewels this year – I can hardly make a card without them:) I find it easiest to use my paper piercing tool to get them off of their paper backing (and if I want to cut the “strips” of jewels, I just use my hobby blade to cut them apart first!)
I love love love pearls!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I use ribbon more than anyother embellishments…sometimes adding a brad or button to the ribbon.
My favorite card embellishment is ribbon, especially the Stampin’ Up! satin and taffeta ribbons. I love how they look on a finished card. Thank you for the blog candy opportunity!
I love the pearls, also love adding the buttons to my cards
My favorite embellishment is ….. glitter — I’m known as the glitter queen around my stamp friends –Ha!! I like to use it to highlight, outline, and fill in certain images — I love the transparent glitters, rather than the opaque ones. Well, there you have it. Hope mine gets picked. I stumbled onto your blog and just absolutely LOVE it. Hugs, Syl xxxooo
I have to have any kind of “bling” to my cards!
Yvonne
My absolute favorite embellishment is RIBBON!!! I find it difficult to make a card without using it, and I can vary the “type” of ribbon based on the true feeling of the card.
Thanks for a chance to win!!! LOVE your blog and your creations!!! :o)
I love the pearls…they add a special touch!
