While card making I had an epiphany: Sequins are like buttons, just flatter.
When mailing a lot of cards the last thing you want is to pay an extra dime per envelope in "lumpy charges" but flat cards look too... flat for me. What's a girl to do?

Since I have a ton in my color kits I decided to try it and I like the results:

This card was made with paper I just hated. And guess what, I love it now. We just needed to get to know each other better:

Adorable cards!! I've got to remember the sequins as I can't stand to pay extra charges for bumpy cards...lol
great cards! I had it in mind to use sequins on a layout I was thinking about but one of the hold-ups was the thought of having to sew. But, they don't have to be sewn on, do they....? Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!!! You definitely have a way with cards!
Great cards! Love the Christmas card with a little bling!
