TIP: Make more eye-catching edgings on cards or scrapbooks

We love the many fancy-edged scissors available in stores now. They make trimmed paper more visually exciting than plain straight edges. But did you know that you can take your creations to a whole new level of uniqueness by decorating the scalloped edges themselves? Here's one idea - and it doesn't take lots of time, precision or skill level.

Look at the difference between the two cards here. The bottom one was embellished with Iron-on Thread, adding a texture to create more dimension. You can see how we've embellished the scalloped edge in the other models too. It ties the whole design together through color and texture.

Here's how: Simply use fancy-edged scissors and outline with Iron-on Thread. Use Medium #16 Braid for a thin, round line and a delicate look, or the 1/8" Ribbon for a wide, flat look that is bolder. You can also decorate the edges of scalloped die cuts in the same way. The card above uses Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon in Silver (6020).

Extra tips: You can also decorate the edges of scalloped die cuts in the same way. Take inexpensive store-bought greeting cards (we love the Dollar Store) and trim the edges with scalloped scissors, then decorate with the iron-on thread. For scrapbooks, cut one side of the background paper with the fancy-edged scissors, then embellish with a coordinating color of iron-on thread. It will look similar to a gilded-edge book.

AUGUST 2021 NEWS

High demand for product combined with supply, production, and staffing ramifications of the pandemic means that it is taking longer than normal to get your Kreinik orders. IN MOST CASES, IT IS TAKING UP TO 10 WEEKS TO FILL ORDERS We make our threads, and also rely on outside sources for things like packaging and raw materials. Every step of the manufacturing process has been affected by the pandemic, even shipping has seen incredible delays. We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience, and are doing everything we can to improve the situation.

To speed up production of the most in-demand colors, we are only making the top 60 to 80 colors in Kreinik #4, #8, and #12 Braid lines. The colors in production can be found on those individual thread pages on our website. This is a temporary situation; we will go back to producing 200+ colors per Braid size when we are able.

We cannot do rush orders at this time.

ABOUT ORDERING ONLINE
