Stamped Muslin Bag with Kim Stewart

Today we are sharing a sweet little gift bag made by DT member Kim Stewart.  Kim stamped on a muslin bag, then used some Baker's Twine to sew on a fabric paper tree that she glittered for an extra festive touch.

We especially love the handmade detail of sewing the tree on with twine!  Check out these bags and all the supplies needed to embellish them for gift wrapping in our store.  Thanks for sharing, Kim!

Freebie Friday, Digital Stamp

I love the vintage issues of the Delineator for its beautiful fashion plates and fun ads. 

Dress forms are still very popular and I'd never seen a collapsable one for before. The image above "closed" is the dress form collapsed and the image on the right is it open completely. Pretty nifty.

As always, feel free to use the image above for PU, S4H, or CU so long as you link back to the blog.

Have a great weekend,

Vintage Sewing Flash Card Freebies

Curtsey Boutique Vintage Fashion Flash Cards

  Lately, I've been building quite the hoard of vintage publications, and because my inner historian has threatened my not so inner crafty self with an emotional melt down  I've come to the epiphany that I simply can't cut up a 1909 copy of McCalls. I just can't do it. But I HAVE to use these images!! They are amazing.

So I've been using trial and error (mostly error) to do more with Photoshop and miracle of all miracles I've come up with some Vintage Sewing Flash Cards. I'm planning on doing a whole set from A to Z (any ideas for X?) all about vintage fashion and sewing terms.  Feel free to download the two pictured here for free for personal use. I'll be offering the entire set in the Curtsey Boutique in digital and print in 4x6 and 3x4 for those who like unique Project Life embellishment cards.

Have a fantastic day,

CarrieAnne
