This week’s freebie is a curly fringe element created with the grey Fringes 3 tubes. Since it is grey, you can easily recolor it to match any project. The top border is made from the Wool picture tube. Use it as a border, along an edge, or as a decorative accent to add texture and movement.

Add a clean, realistic pinked edge to your papers, photos, and elements with just one click. The Quick Pinking script automatically adjusts the spacing so the zigzag edge fits perfectly every time, with no partial teeth. You can apply the pinking to any single side, two opposite sides, or all four sides. You can then add shadows, stitching, or extra details afterward.
For a sample, I created five tags with pinking edge on the bottom. You can use those tags to add various details, like a date, a name, or a quote.
Looking for a quick and realistic way to add stitching to your next digital project? The Two-Tone Stitch 3 font set gives you 25 unique stitch styles that you can use in any size, color, or combination! Each design is made with two fonts — one for the bottom thread and one for the top — allowing you to mix and match colors or add shading and bevels for extra dimension.
We’ve created a colorful set of straight ribbons using one of the stitches from this new set. Each ribbon is pre-colored and saved as a PNG file with a transparent background, so they’re easy to add to any project. Use them to frame a photo, divide a page, or layer with your favorite embellishments.
