- Gesso Materica 66lb
- Mint Thai Unryu
- Baby Blue Thai Unryu
- Pumpkin Thai Unryu
- Mustard Thai Unryu
- Rainbow Holographic
- glue gun
- craft tape
- craft glue pen
- twine
- die cut machine or scissors
- mounting tape
- cutting machine
Begin by opening up Design Space and create your card frame and choose the phrase you want. You can create the frame by inserting a basic square, sizing it to 5” x 7”, then duplicate the rectangle and place it on top of the original. Next, you will size the top rectangle so it is smaller and then slice it. Mine top/inner rectangle is 4" x 6" to create a half inch thick frame. The sliced image is now the frame for the card. For the phrase, I chose “yay” (#M8AF53C5). (I added in the stripes in the back just for reference. When cutting my pieces, I did not cut those.)
Then cut out your pieces. I used Gesso White for the frame and for the offset of the phrase, and for the “yay” and the star, I used Rainbow Holographic.
Next, you can either use scissors or a die cut machine with the die set “Never Ending Fringe” by Ellen Hutson. Using Mint Thai, Baby Blue Thai, Pumpkin Thai, and Mustard Thai, cut a bunch of fringe pieces. If you’re using scissors, I would say to cut them into 2” thick strips and then cut the fringe. 
Now, take some mounting tape and adhere it around all 4 edges of the card. Place a gift card, money, or whatever you would like in the center of the card and add glitter or sequins.
Then, place a sheet of tissue paper onto the mounting tape. Be sure that it does not cover all of the mounting tape. You will use the remaining mounting tape to adhere the fringe as well. You just want to cover the inner part of the mounting tape.
Using the hot glue gun, glue the twine to the back of the star and then glue the other end of the twine to the center of the tissue paper. This will be what the receiver will pull to get to the inside for the gift.
Now you can begin adhering the fringe, starting from the bottom and layering up. I used 3 layers of each color. If your fringe is too long, like mine, just tear it off at the ends. Be sure to bring the twine forward while you’re adhering the fringe.
Next, add the frame to the top of the card.
And finally, add the phrase with some extra stars around the frame for decoration. 
This is just a cute spin on a regular card, and is a great way for someone special to get a gift in a fun way!
The truly fun part is pulling the string and busting it open!! You can see a fun video on our Instagram!
I hope you enjoyed making this card with me and I hope whoever receives the card has a SMASHING time!
