Fiber paper is a wonderful way of decorating your card so that it has a carefree and natural look. It is available in so many different colors. It looks the most effective when the pieces are torn out instead of cut out. The uneven edges give the card an interesting look. 2. Vellum is a thin glossy see through paper and is very useful for decorating cards. You can also use a printer and print sayings and verses on it. To attach it onto a card, you can use eyelets which look very decorative! Another alternative is using 2-sided self adhesive tape or foil. Cover the complete backside. If you use just a small piece to stick it, the piece can be seen through the vellum. 3. Vellum is also available with prints already on it. For all occasions and all seasons of the year you can find the appropriate motif of color for your card making needs. 4. Fabric jute ribbons are also decorative for cards with a primitive or country look. Cut a piece and pull a couple of the threads away for a frayed look. 5. Mulberry paper is a natural paper that can also be bought in many different colors. It also looks wonderful as a background paper for a card. When the edges are torn instead of cut, it can also be very decorative.   Enter your search terms Submit search form Web www.craftideas.info
