Hello and hope you had a great weekend. Well, I am still on the same design trend and that is to come up with autumn themed elements that you might be able to add to your digital or hybrid scrapbooking collection.
As it has been for the past week, it was the lovely fall colors all around that inspired the color scheme for today’s freebie, it was a challenge coming up with something that might be cute (that’s the reason for the owls designed by another talented designer) and yet represent a color scheme consistent with autumn colors. With this set you will have at least three printable that coordinate with each other. I hope you like them and can find a creative use for them.
As for the details about the freebie, there are 17 elements in all. You have four journaling cards (3″ x 4″), one note tag and several elements as well. Feathers (or copies of feathers seems to be a current trend so I included a few of those as well. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping.
How to Use this “Journaling Cards” Printable<:
There are a few ways you can use this printable to create your journaling cards and elements and I have included a few in the following instructions:
- The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the journaling cards and journaling elements using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. There are several pdf to jpg converters online if your software just can’t open a pdf. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile and cutting it out a lot easier.)
- The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the journaling cards or journaling elements on 65 lb. white cardstock and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors or a slide paper trimmer to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.
Facts about the freebie:
- This free printable has 17 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
- The file size is 9.32 MB.
- These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp. I included a photo-realistic paper texture in the journaling cards and word snippets.
- Color scheme: brown, rust, cream/tan, dark teal blue

Most of my elements are made from commercial use or public domain sources, however if any designer feels their copyright has been infringed upon the freebie will promptly be removed and the freebie will no longer be available.
