Although you can add a serged edge on any shape (with the Stitched Edges #1), you can now add a blanket stitch around your elements. Starting with a vector shape, you can choose to have long or short stitches and you can pick any color for the thread. The end result is left on unmerged layers so you can tweak that thread color by changing the blend mode as needed.
You can also add custom textures or puffiness to the element if you want, but it is optional.

For a sampler, I created some basic set of digits that are stitched for you. Each digit is about 500 pixels high so you can resize them as needed.

More crochet laces for you to decorate your projects. Create them in any length you need, and colorize them in any color you want to match your project.
For this freebie, I used a long lace and created a square frame by manually "mitering" the corners. I needed to do it manually to make those corner look realistic.
If you like to decorate cakes or even want to showcase some dessert, you can use these picture tubes to add a sweet decoration to your page.
For a sampler, I created two frames using chocolate flavors: one is darker chocolate and the other is likely more milk chocolate. Each frame is in PNG format and about 2600 pixels wide.
You can add one of our 6 types of wood fence, in just about any size but also, in any length. You can draw those fences on a perfectly straight line or follow a slight hill.
As a sampler, I created one long fence (4000 pixels) and added some vines and a lovely cat. It is in PNG format so you can use it with any program.
Tatting is a long process to create those delicate edges and designs. If you want to create them and then extract the designs for yourself, it will take you a long time.
For a sampler, I created a diamond-shaped frame, in a layered format that you can colorize to suit your project.
Time flies and in the fall, those vines will often change color. These picture tubes are made from vines that have already turned to a pink or orange color due to the season.
As a sampler, I created a large frame, covered it with chicken wire (from the Chicken Wire tubes) and added some vines, and some clothespins to hold some photos. These photos are showing as a mask group so you won't have to do any cutout of your photo to place it in the frame.
With very little effort, you can now add some delicate tatting lace along the edge of your frames, mats, etc. You can use any one of the eight picture tubes and hand draw the lace in a free-flowing style, but you can also add it to any vector path for a very regular design.
For this week's freebie, I created a delicate oval frame with this tatting. I also added some gemstones to it for a unique effect.
