Emily Claire

The Emily Claire – 8-Page 8x12" Transfer Pad comes from one of our favorite archive finds to date. Taken from an 1868 family album belonging to Miss Emily Clare Harvey, the artwork began as her pencil and watercolor illustrations lovingly added around her family’s portraits. The Cooper Hewitt preserved the album, and when we discovered it, Sam (our Senior Designer) and Sally immediately fell in love with its whimsical, beautifully hand-painted details.

The set includes charming elements like kittens, hummingbirds, butterflies, banners, and even a proud little rooster—each one quirky, delicate, and full of character.
These illustrations strike that rare balance of sophisticated and playful, giving makers something fresh and delightfully unexpected to work with. Use the elements with their given frames or stand alone as focal elements in art pieces, décor projects, and mixed media.

Emily Clare brings a sense of story and creativity from a young 19th-century artist directly into your hands, inviting you to build scenes that are as unique and joyful as the originals.

We’ve made many of our new Decor Transfers™ “buildable”, by adding opacity, (so that they look good when they overlap) and making the designs themselves more versatile, so that they work visually when used in combination. Since the designs are more opaque than previous versions, they will show up well against dark colors as well as light.

• Distress able: for complete customization sand to your liking! We don’t
mind.

• Buildable: more opaque so they can be layered with other transfers, as
well as show up against darker colors. Because sometimes one is just not
enough, and a maker needs to make it their own.

• Improved backing to help prevent transfer mishaps and subsequent
crushed souls.

• Easy to use: These beauties transfer onto your project surface like butter.

Bright and fun are perfect for this time of year!
