Hello peeps! Today, I’m providing a set of holiday themed distressed words and phrases for your Junk Journaling or DIY crafting. As I had shared previously, I have been watching a lot of Youtube video tutorials on art journals, junk journals and other crafty pursuits and I was inspired to create these holiday words and phrases made with interesting, decorative fonts. There are repeats but you get the benefit of different colors in case you are interested in something beyond black.
As for the printable, I designed these images in Photoshop CC and I am providing all three jpeg files so you can use them either in Microsoft Word or any of the popular digital cutting programs like Silhouette or Cricut or Canva. The jpeg is provided to print on plain white sticker paper is provided so that you can print on either Silhouette’s transparent sticker sheets or other brands of printable clear sticker paper.
Holiday Words Design Inspiration
I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie. I have been watching a lot of junk journaling videos on Youtube to get an idea on what types of papers might interest you and other junk journalers. This set was inspired by watching a Youtube video for creating “word or phrase tags ” either made with paper or with wood. In any case, I thought these fun holiday words would be a great addition to your planners or journals.
I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many modern graphics and svgs) has ended their September specials but they have a whole new promotion to prepare for Halloween crafting and a host of freebies and giveaways throughout the month; so, if you are interested don’t forget to get in on the fun.
About the Holiday Distressed Words Printable Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there is three half US letter size pages in this blog post printable offer. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping. Or you can resize and use as ink transfer words for your diy projects.
This free printable has three half letter size pages at 5.5″ by 8.5″ . These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp. They can be used in either the Silhouette Cameo or Cricut digital cutters to cut them out or you can use scissors and a slide cutter. Remember these words are distressed so if you zoom in you will see speckles on the font, you an tell on the numbers below which are about 1.5″ square in size.
Materials Needed
*White cardstock, Southmore 25% Cotton paper or white sticker paper or clear (transparent) printable paper, depending on your final use.
*Vintage inks, such as Tim Holtz Distress Inkpads, to give the edges a worn, tinted or aged look, if that is your preference. This process takes off the white edge of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and it gives the paper a subtle, aged and worn look. With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color that you prefer on your edges.
*Scissors or slide cutter
*Photo editing software (i.e., Photoshop Elements, Canva) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters. You can also resize the printables easily in a basic Powerpoint program, Windows or MAC.
How to Use this Holiday Words Printable
- Print and cut out the papers and use them as words for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners.
- Resize and create tags or pockets for your journals or planners.
- Print and tear (What tear?) the paper to create tiny mini clusters or tabs for your pockets or page decor.
