Embossed Die Cut Reproduction Scraps - Lucky Pigs and Chimney Sweeps
More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
More Pigs
More Good Luck
These fantastic scraps are a reproduction, but they could certainly fool you! The design is based on a vintage scrap sheet, but is produced today in Germany in much the same way that scrap pictures were produced so many years ago.
Pigs and chimney sweeps are both considered lucky omens throughout literature, folk tales and generations of good wishes. This sheet features both at once! How much more good luck could you wish for!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent the images.

More Postcards
More Horses
This must be one lucky piggy! S/he and a buddy in a suit are watching the good luck horseshoes rain down outside. S/he's lucky for more than one reason, that's for sure - not only are so many horseshoes so much good luck, but they're inside - we imagine those horseshoes just might clunk someone on the head!
From the imaginative mind of artist Gerhard Glück, this delightful card will surely touch the heart of all pig lovers and those who need a bit of good luck!

Hand Glittered Note Card - Two Pigs & a Jester on Christmas
More Christmas
More Note Cards
We are absolutely delighted to present yet another terrific Barbara Schriber Designs note card. It seems only natural that we'd offer such delightful images that are hand glittered with German glass glitter!
Who doesn't love little piggies on Christmas (well, we guess there might be someone)! So, here's a sweet little card with a little jester (we're not quite sure if our jester is a little boy or little girl). Her pet piggies are pulling her on a sled past a snow-laden pine tree. The card reads, simply:
Merry Xmas
The glitter accents are in just the perfect spots to highlight the image! Best of all, once the glitter is exposed to air, it may tarnish, which adds to the vintage feel! Of course, each card is accompanied by a matching envelope.
Because this card is accented with glass glitter, please use care when handling the cards, and of course, such products adorned with glass glitter are not suitable for children.

Hand Glittered Note Card - 3 (NOT SO) Little Pigs
Aren't these little (?) piggies just the cutest? With their glittery and flowery head-dresses? Just what are they talking about? We don't care. The original image appears to have been from a vintage postcard, but the writing is light, so we can't really interpret it. This gives these three little honeys and their card a bit of a collage-style ambience!

tiny Hand-Made Chanchito Lucky 3-Leg Pig Bead or Charm
More Beads
More Charms
In the small village of Pomaire, Chile, it is believed that Chanchitos, little pigs, bring good luck. Three-legged Chanchitos, like this little bead or charm, are especially fortunate and are traditionally given to friends and family as a token of goodwill and love.
You can use this little piggy in so very many ways. He stands nicely all by himself, so you can sit him down on a table or with your miniatures. The little loop of his curly tail can be used as a bead-stringing hole, or as a loop for a charm. These little fellows are teeny-weeny, barely measuring 1.5 cm (about 5/8 inch).
No two are exactly the same, so please let us choose one for you. Three chanchitos shown for illustration only.

You might choose to send this sweet card to anyone beginning a journey - of any sort!

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes
From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.
As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.
