How About Bling?

Which of you likes to use bling on there layouts / cards? Is bling one of your favortie embellies? Do you like shapes? Letters or just normal little gems?

I like a bit of bling - small gems (preferably self adhesive ... I'm basically lazy! LOL) shapes n words are cool - but tend to be a bit too expensive to use a lot. not really a glitter girl tho

gems...I own some shapes but not my favs!

i use a touch here and there but i agree, the words and bigger shapes are great but pricey.

I have ordered some words that will be $1.49 each....I will have to show you all al preview...

I love the small jewels. Never really tried any of the letters or shapes because of the price.

lookin' forward to the preview!

It's not one of my favorites, but I do use it occasionally. I like the single ones or the swirly ones.

BLING, did you meantion your getting in some bling!!!?

YIPPPPPPEEEEEEE <--doing a happy dance

I love bling, mainly rhinestones, the word i LOVE but are hard to find ehre.

Would love some little gems:) LOVE the swirly ones, lots....but never get them, cuz of the price, like the other ladies! Wish the manufacturers knew that!

not a bad price point....can't wait to see 'em!

With four girls, do you have to ask! I LOVE bling and use it all the time!! Mostly the single ones (all sizes), and I make my own swirls with them! I have a few of the words, and I do like them... only have used one though, I think.

I was thinking how easy would it be to make your own swirl's?

I LOVE the swirl's too, but they are too expensive, *sigh*

Sarah, I picked up some stitching templates by Bazzill... they have all different ones, but the one I got was swirls... I just mark the dots with a pencil (instead of punching holes for stitching) and then stick the gems on the dots and viola... bling swirls!!

Here's a couple of LO's where I used this technique...

I am looking for the stitch it things by bazzil or other??

Wow Robin what beautiful layouts! The girls are adorable! And plus a great idea!

They are fab Robin - will have to try that technique myself. TFS

Thanks, Ladies! The 1st LO is actually of my niece. The baby is my youngest dd!

oh a girls just has to have a bit of bling! I love using it in any form!

Your layouts are fantastic Robin!!

I love bling!!

I ac tually buy iron on rhinestones at wal-mart. There is 198 of them in a pack for just 2.00. I use a toothpick to apply glue and put them where I need em!

I've just started using the Kaiser self adhesive rhinestones - a bit more expensive at probably $2 for 100 ... but they are sooooo easy & the adhesive doesn't show at the edges like some of the sticky ones! LOL

I am going to have to check out those rhinestones. I usually buy mine in the jewelry department at Michaels or Hobby Lobby and I spend $3 for a pack of 100.

It all depends on my mood. I like bling but not a ton of it.

I agree Megan - subtle bling is more me too!
