4 Ways to Embellish Jewelry Cards For Handmade Gifts

Hair & Accessories· Jewelry

If you are like me and like to give handmade jewelry as gifts, you need a way to present the jewelry so it properly displays your creative, heartfelt effort. I’ve come up with four ways you can easily embellish a plastic jewelry card with alcohol-based inks. Let’s get started!

Embellished-jewelry-cards-Crafts-Unleashed (2)Supplies needed to make your own embellished jewelry cards:

  • Plastic Jewelry Cards
  • Alcohol Ink Markers
  • Alcohol Ink
  • Ink Blending Tool
  • Clear Stamps or Rubber Stamps (thin lines or simple images work best)
  •  Rubber Stamp Pad (optional)
  • Ruler

This time, I chose a small heart and created a pattern by stamping multiple times. The trick to a good stamped image is to pull the stamp straight up after stamping. If you move it around, the alcohol ink will smear.
