It’s Day 3 of our “12 Days of Holiday Giving” event and we’re excited to have Nicole Nowosad joining us to share a quick tutorial on how she created a couple darling Fringe Cards! We are also loving the AMAZING giveaways our friends at Sizzix and Echo Park are sharing with you today. Three cheers for Day 3!
“Hi everyone! Nicole here to share a super fun tutorial with you – Fringe Cards! I don’t know about you, but this time of year is so busy! I love giving handmade cards but sometimes don’t have a ton of time. I created these quick cards with a few basic supplies and they are fast and fun to make.
All you need for this project is some of your favorite holiday paper, some ink and some stamps and a few simple embellishments + some fringe scissors of course!
Supplies: Patterned paper, stickers – Crate Paper; Cardstock- American Crafts; Ink- Close to My Heart, Ranger; Stamps – SCT magazine exclusives, Lawn Fawn; Bling – Queen & Co
Sit back and take a few minutes during this busy season to see how you can make some fun and fringy cards!
I want to wish all our readers a wonderful holiday season shared with those you love!” ~ Nicole
Thank you Nicole! We are loving those fringe scissors and the sweet cards you created!
