Great video. Awesome tips especially with how to use the Nuvo drops. I am a newbie so I could use all the tips I can get when it comes to embellishments.
Thank you for the nice video. I picked up some new tips and ideas that I can use in future projects.
Great sampling of using embellishments! They add so much to cards!
Great cards!
Wow, great tips about embellishments. I love applying them to my cards and I have a lot of them. I do admit I love collecting them. They are the bling I love in my craft room!!
These are beautiful!
Beautiful cards and great tips!
thanks for all these ideas/tips!
Sequins forever!!!!
Thank you for information about embellishments! These are just what I need to give my cards that finishing touch!
Enjoyed your video on adding embellishments to cards, especially the Nuvo Drops. I learned to hold the bottle straight up. That’s where my mistake was. Embellishments add that special touch on cards and I always try to use them.
A SUPER VIDEO, Jessica! I’ve LEARNED some things! I have been doing it wrong, all along with the Nuvo Drops! LOL THANKS for the tip! I try to get a little embellishment every time I make a purchase, whether it be sequin or jewel, or whatever! If it’s in stock, & it catches my eye, it goes in my cart! LOL PLEASE DO TELL, WHAT IMAGE is that on the gold embossed floral card, with the water coloring????? It is GORGEOUS!!!!!!! ;) ALL of your cards are GORGEOUS!!! MANY THANKFUL INKY HUGS today!!! ;) <3
Thanks, Jessica, for the splendid tips and video!
This is such a great series and I always learn new ideas or tricks that I have forgotten. Jessica your card samples are awesome and I especially liked the ‘blue’, at least it looked blue, (I’m watching this outside. LOL) poinsettia card that you have shown near the beginning of the video. OMG, its gorgeous! Thanks for doing the Crafty Quintet series, I always enjoy it!
Pretty cards and great embellishment ideas!
I LOVE the Chin Up buttercup one! Great cards!
Thank you for all the tips and tricks! You reminded me about making drops ahead of time on a nonstick mat and letting them dry. I’ve done this before and it works well! I am one of those crafters who is sometimes worried about squirting the Nuvo drops on my finished card and not getting it right, so this make-ahead technique is perfect for me!
Thank you for the video and the nice tips :)
As always, these video tips are so helpful. I have most of these product types so I truly appreciated the many suggestions and guidelines you shared. Thanks!
I love all things sparkly, too! Nuvo Drops worked great when I first got them, but now I can never get a nice, round drop. May give it one more try. Love the tip about using a piece of acetate to determine placement! I love Crystal Glaze & keep a spare bottle so I never run out. Hadn’t thought to use it with glitter–thanks for the tip!
I just love the yellow flowers. I hardly see yellow in blogs. So pretty
Great looking cards, Jessica! Your helpful tips are terrific and I really enjoyed watching your video. I especially love the new Nuvo Drops, they add so much to a card/project. Thanks for sharing!
Great tips and lovely cards! I esp liked the idea of putting a drop of my Nuvos on the cap for a swatch. I have a notecard with a sample drop from each and the name of the color, but having it on the cap will help me avoid picking each bottle up to find the one I am looking for!

LOVED the tips!!!
Amazing cards! Thanks for the tips!!!
Gorgeous cards with great embellishments. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for all the tips especially for the Nuvo drops. I just added stone drops to my collection and they have an awesome texture too! Keep the helpful tips coming!!
Thanks for the tips! I struggle with Nuvo Drops so will try your techniques. Love the sparkly stuff too!
I really like the yellow buttercup card. I don’t use my embellishments enough…maybe that will change now.
I love anything that shines, so embellishments are essential! Thanks for sharing your favorites.
Love these cards. I really enjoy this feature. It always has interesting ideas.
I always look forward to seeing these tips and techniques for making cards look amazing. Thanks for sharing Jessica.
Very helpful tips for applying Nuvo drops, I will give them a try.
I love this series and all the wonderful information you provide. My Nuvo drops (particularly the black) has gotten so thick it no longer leaves nice drops. I’ve never used enamel dots, but think I’ll give them a try — this may be a better embellishment for me than the drops.
Fabulous cards and tips!!! Thanks!!
Pretty cards and great ideas!
Love all these tips!
Gorgeous makes. Thanks for the tips. Hugz
A fun visual reminder of the difference those little embellishments make. I have them, just forget to use them. TFS!
I love the Crafty Quintet videos!! I always learn something and today was no exception. Thanks, Jessica, for sharing. My Nuvo stash is growing!! LOL
The Nuvo crystal glaze with chunky glitter is the only thing I haven’t tried.
Wow, so many great ideas!
Jessica,
Love all your featured products and projects today!! There were 2 cards in particular that I found stunning!!!!
Thank you for the great ideas!!
Awesome cards
Thanks for the great tips–love the one with putting drops on clear plastic to see if you like it or not.
Fun ideas!
Chunky glitter, yay! I already follow by email.
