Free Steampunk Mustache Wallpaper for March

No Comments

wallpaper

We thought we would offer another FREE wallpaper design to celebrate March and our latest Steampunk Alphabet collection. This design was made by our talented artist Danielle! She helped design the Steampunk Alphabet and decided it was too much fun not to create a snarky poster out of it (and other crazy things like THIS).

So without further ado, we present the Urban Threads School of Mustaches free downloadable poster! Because knowing your steampunk mustaches from one another is an important life skill ;)

As a special treat, we have it available as a letter size poster print that you can print out and stick on your wall too! Click the image below to get that poster print.

Also available in the usual formats for your computer desktop, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 5, or Android phone, just click the buttons below to download and load onto your device. Don’t fret if you have a different kind of phone or device, one of these is sure to work :)

~Enjoy!

Machine Embroidered Stop Motion Music Video

9 Comments

Spotted over on Colossal, this isn’t the first embroidery themed music video I’ve seen, but it’s the first to prominently feature machine embroidered stitches and thread. Check out all that amazing machine embroidered type! Makes you want to go dig into your machine’s stash of fonts and go crazy, doesn’t it? The song is Favorite Place by Black Books.

Enjoy!

270 and counting!

No Comments

We feel it’s important to let our customers know that we feel safety is a priority in the workplace, and we have had 270 successful robot-uprising-free days of work, despite that one instance of machine #4 talking back last week.

We hardly count that as an uprising. More just a gentle disregard for human authority.

270 and counting! Stay vigilant people.

Exclusive Yuletide Revelry Printables

9 Comments

The new Yuletide Revelry series is out, and we have some very exciting news for anyone who buys the whole pack (on sale!) … you get a FREE pack of coordinating printables!

That’s right, just purchase any version of the Yuletide Revelry design pack through Nov. 18 and these printables will automatically be added to your order history in as a separate order, all for FREE.

So, what do you get in this awesome PDF pack? Let’s peek…

A beautiful “Deck the Halls” Christmas card that fits on any letter size paper. We recommend printing on cardstock or something similar to give your card a glossy feel. Just cut it out, score the middle, and write your holiday wishes inside.

You also get SIX coordinating gift tags. These can be used as little toppers for presents, or with a simple hole punch and ribbon, they can be tied onto toys and handmade gifts to give each present its own special touch. Write your recipient’s name on the back, or just let it add a chic and simple touch to your wrapped gifts.

Finally, you get this free downloadable pillow box! How does this thing work exactly? Easy! You just print the pillowbox pattern on cardstock (this is especially important for this one … regular paper won’t work!) Instructions included on the printable show you how to cut it out and assemble it. Yes, you really can make that box with one letter size piece of cardstock and the free download! You don’t need anything else but a glue stick and scissors to make it.

In fact, you can make a ton! These little boxes are absolutely perfect for little gift cards, candies, or more. Once you push the flaps closed on the side the box stays shut by itself. It’s pretty neat!

So, all these matching printables are yours FREE with ANY purchase of the Yuletide Revelry design pack through Nov. 18, in any format and any size. Plus, the design pack is on SALE now through through Nov. 18.

Grab your pack on sale, and enjoy your free printables! It’s never too early to get a jump on holiday stitching and gift wrapping, and we hope you enjoy this special holiday gift from us to you.
