Vellum is a fun way to embellish and to add interest and dimension.

It is available in a wide variety of colours as well as in beautiful floral prints, stripes, swirls, fairies, kids themes, stripes, swirls, oriental, funky themes,  swirls and many other patterns

Vellum is used to layer on top of other papers in scrap booking and for journaling in scrapbook pages but vellum is also a fun way to embellish handmade greeting cards, invitations and announcements.

Birth announcements, weddings, baby and bridal shower invitations can also be dressed up quickly

 by printing the information right onto the vellum or print on the bottom sheet and add a thin weight vellum

over the top of the typed information for added interest.

You can hole punch through both layers at the top of your announcement or invitation and lace a slender ribbon through.

 This will keep the layers of paper together and give a finished look to your card.

When lacing ribbon through a greeting card is not practical you may find that vellum can be tricky to adhere to your other papers.

As vellum is see-through you can also see traditional tape or glue generally used to hold the papers together.

A clever paper crafter can hide the glue spot with other die cuts, or matching stickers that are being used to complete the page

Brads are an easy way to attach vellum and they come in all sorts of designs to compliment your choses theme

Using vellum for scrapbook and card making can be a really fun option limited only by your imagination.

 Think of any material that is partially see-through and consider how it could be applied to your scrapbook pages.

Some examples are shower curtains, bubbles, angel wings, butterflies, insects, windows, waves on a beach, fish scales, pockets, flowers and so on - the ideas are endless.

 For wedding ideas, try champagne glasses, the bride's glass slipper, the wedding veil on a paper doll, the wedding bouquet or the tiered wedding cake.

If your background paper is a darker colour cut up small pieces of vellum to scatter around as confetti to add to the wedding theme

Vellum makes fun snowflakes, icicles, ice cubes, skating rinks, or any objects related to ice or water.

Think of vellum to depict glass items, clear plastic household products and containers, windows and curtains
