Happy midweek! Today, I’m providing my latest vintage ephemera journaling papers printables; so, I decided to provide this new set of vintage junk journaling papers with a blue hydrangea as the theme. I love flowers as you can see, and I thought a blue flower (which are not that common) would be an appropriate subject. My actual favorite color is violet, but blue is a very close second.
In any case, I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily. That’s part of the reason I subscribed to the CC version as soon as I was able. The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging around 7 MB each. Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have. You can always take them to the nearest Office Depot or Staples (here in the US) to get higher quality printing if you are using these for a special journaling project.
I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.
I am totally enjoying designing these projects. I am always excited to develop new ideas for tags and now papers with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses. I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables more frequently. These were the background pages I used for my monthly A5 calendar idea!
If you are not into junk or art journaling, you can also pop these into the pockets of A5 planners or Traveler’s Notebooks if you enjoy a vintage aesthetic, as I do.
Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I am designing), round hand script, music sheets, vintage botanical images I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s!
I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many graphics) is having an awesome “Christmas in July” sale throughout July, check out their daily freebies and giveaways. These are legitimate offers but the goodies and discounts end on July 30th, 2022.
Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Journaling Papers Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 junk journaling pages in this printable. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping. This printable is for diy crafts but, of course, can be used in your journals.
This free printable has four journaling pages at 8.5″ by 11″, stay tuned for the add-on kits I will be posting in the near future. 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.
The materials I used were vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality vintage digital resources.

Materials Needed
*White cardstock or white sticker 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 gives the paper an subtle,aged and worn look. With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color you prefer on your edges.
*Scissors or slide cutter
*Photo editing software (i.e., Photoshop Elements) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters.
How to Use this Vintage Ephemera Journaling Papers Printable
- Print and cut out the papers and use them as pages for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.

Hi there! Thank you so so very much again for such generosity. These designs are so gorgeous! I love Hydrangeas! I am sure I will make good use of your designs to create cards and journals! I know how much work goes into designing these, so really know that i’m very grateful! Blessings from the Netherlands 🙂

You’re welcome! I forgot to mention/share that my grandmother used to have a blue hydrangea bush in her front yard and she loved them. She would search for information (no internet, of course in those days) in the daily newspaper on how to keep them deep blue as they would often fade into a lighter color! Enjoy your card creations and journals!
