These are typically found stuck in a bow, or behind a flower, or even simply as the featured item on the card. I'd been looking for ultra-sweet stick pins without having to pay a small fortune ... without success.
So what does a crafter do, but make her own!
Here are just a few of the EmbEllies' Card Pins I've made for my own use. I've made them two different ways: first, by straightening out earring wires into a pin; second, by using beading head pins.
Would you like to win a half-dozen EmbEllies? Why not?! I'll randomly pick a follower who comments on this post and/or any of my posts from now through through March 27 (midnight EST). One post per day, please. Please include a way to contact you, when you win!
I'm a HOP STOP for two hops this weekend, so there will be extra opportunities to win more blog candy this weekend. So stop back too!!
♥ Thanks for stopping by! ♥
(*What in the world is an EmbEllie? Ellie ... that's me ... the term of endearment my hubby uses for me. When I started making and marketing my own embellishments, I started calling them Ellie's Embellies, but that sounded redundant, so EmbEllie it is. For now!)

These look beautiful! It so nice to be able to make your own embellishments. This way you can customize to your layout or liking. I would love some of these pretties. Thanks for the chance of winning. daughtersare3@yahoo.com http://kimmarieskorner.blogspot.com
Ellen, the pins are so pretty! I would love to win them ♥ TFS!

Those pins look really pretty! I think it's more satisfying when you have made your own embellishments rather than buying them :)

Those are great. I had not seen them before. I am debating if I should show my 13 year old daughter because she is a bead junkie, if she sees them we will be on our way to the bead store. Thanks for sharing these.

Cute pins! I like the thought of using eyepins rather than hatpins- I like to keep sharp objects to a minimum around here with the 3yr old running around. :)
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Ellen.
Your pins are so pretty. I have been so tempted to get some beads and start creating. Oy, I can't afford ANOTHER hobby. LOL
Great job.
TFS,

Wow, Those are beautiful! Are they hard to make? Love them. Lucy
Oh wow! They are so pretty! I've got a bunch that I've held onto for years ... I've always been 'afraid' to use them because what if I want them for a 'better' project? or what if I 'ruin' them?! But I have gotten out of that and I've managed to use a few in the last couple years ... :) I think if I had time, I would make them too! Just to stare at. LOL! Thanks for the chance to win! They really are gorgeous.
These are so cute. I bet they look lovely behind some flowers

Gorgeous!!! Could you share, for those of us unfamiliar with beading, what the silver fitting on the bottom that keeps the beads from slipping down the pin is called? Thanks in advance :_)
Wow these are so pretty, I would love to win these. Thanks for the chance.
