Hello peeps! H Well, today I am providing an update on my latest vintage junk journaling mini kit printables! I have been watching several junk journaling vids on Youtube and that inspired me to try my hand at this project and see what I can come up with. I wanted to help you out a little with a vintage ephemera junk journal mini kit printable set to jump start your crafting, art journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download.
It has been awhile since I last created this type of freebie which is loaded with vintage ephemera and embellished with vintage Photoshop brushes that I own or have created and already have in my stash.
Today’s freebie was created from a variety of vintage ephemera-some made into Photoshop brushes and other’s are just png files of these images sourced from vintage paper items scanned at a high dpi or great graphic sites that make these public domain images available. Some images came from my favorite Etsy Shops.
I didn’t add distressing shades or brushes on the individual images, because what I have seen is that different diy crafters have different preferences to the amount of distressing they prefer on their junk journal items, I will suggest that you take a look at Tim Holtz, distressing inks, if you are interested in what “distressing” with ink is all about.
Facts about the Vintage Junk Journal Kit Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there are 38+ elements varying from tabs, pocket cards, quotes and an 8 1/2 by 11 journaling page.. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping.
This free printable has 1) a junk journal page on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file 2) A set of journaling tabs on a 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file and 3) a jpeg with days of week script words for your Cricut or Silhouette crafting. I didn’t bundle these files into a zip file , so you will have to download them individually.
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.
The materials I used were all vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and some newer elements obtained from Creative Fabrica. Enjoy!

How to Use these Junk Journal Kit Printables:
There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers or junk journaling elements and I have included a few in the following instructions:
1) The easiest way to use this printout is to print it out on a full sheet of white sticker paper or cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter, such as the Cricut Explore or Maker you can cut out the journal kit using their designer software.
2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock or heavy white printer paper depending on how thick you want your sticker (or junk journaling element) and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.
3) Another way, (albeit a little time consuming way) is to print out the planner stickers on sticker paper and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting. Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will reduce cutting around the straight sides of stickers.

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 will no longer be available. Designers vary in their restrictions for their terms of use (even for CU items), so although I try to be scrupulous, I may miss some.

Many Thanks. I have created a classic size journal this year an I am guilty of trying to insert too much. When I read your offer for mini items, that helped me greatly. I am sure I will find many for the mini’s Can not pick a favorite, all are great!

Thank you that was such a kind and thoughtful comment. I know what you mean about being overwhelmed, I have a list in mind of so many potential designs to create that I don’t get them done because I want to perfect them. The mini journal kits, I hope, might at least help you jump start your creativity and make diy crafting a relaxing and helpful past time and not a stressful one!
