Something new coming to my etsy....these little handmade Gathering Kits...
Hand stamped button cards embellished with flowers, trims, trinket pins, vintage paper, etc.
They can be used as tags, as scrapbook or card embellishments....
Or as in this case, the embellishments are not adhered and you can use the trim, flowers, trinket pins, and leaf to your own liking.
Buttons, doily die cuts, and other sweet gatherings are hidden inside.
I hope to have them up on a regular basis....they will each be unique and will contain different items, but each kit will be filled with handmade favorites from me.
If you'd like to make your own, I used Papertrey Ink's Button Boutique and Fillable Frames Additions 1 stamp sets, Button Card and the Double Ended Banner dies. Vintage receipt paper, bookprint, and trims, satin angel wings, millinery flower, and other bits and bobs.
Thanks for visiting.

P.S. If you've ordered a pincushion...they are shipping towards the end of this week...so stay tuned for your lovely lady to be delivered to your home. Thank you!
These are so, so pretty! I bought that stamps set b/c you inspired me so much during release week, but I don't think I'll ever be able to transform them into such authentic-looking vintage treasures! Just scrumptious! :)
