Hello peeps! Today, I’m providing this assorted selection of “Mid Century Recipe Cards” and additional mini vintage ephemera journaling paper printables for your summer junk journaling and a variety of other creative paper crafting projects.
Your enthusiasm motivated me to come up with some new ideas and hopefully these journaling add ons are great assets to add to your paper stash! So, I designed mid century themed (1) Vintage style guest checks (2) Vintage Style Recipe Cards and mini vintage ephemera. (Any watermarks are removed in the downloads.). Let me know what you think about these designs in the comments section below, if you have time.
I designed these images in Adobe Illustrator CC which is an awesome vector editing program and in Adobe Photoshop which 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). I also used Chatgpt Pro, Google Gemini Pro and Adobe Firefly for many of the AI generated images.
Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have, as a general rule the higher the dpi that your printer can print, the clearer your images will be. 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.
Mid Century Recipe Cards Journaling Printables Design Inspiration
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 use.
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. I was looking for a bright lemon color theme that could combine with summer junk journals. This design was the result.
Also, I thought I would mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many modern and vintagefonts) is gearing up for another great promotion, they just keep getting better and expanding the kinds of graphics that they are offering and the AI tools in their Studio AI update, so check them out if you choose.
Facts about the Mid Century Recipe Cards Journaling Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there are two journaling options 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 two journaling printables with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match. 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. You don’t absolutely need a digital cutter to print, cut and assemble your projects but they’re great tools!
**Please note, although I used public domain and AI generated resources to create this design, the design is under my copyright.**
Materials Needed
*White cardstock or white sticker paper, depending on your final use. You might consider white matte photo paper as I have included photo images in the journaling cards printable. Other journaling crafters have mentioned Southworth linen/cotton paper for printing journaling papers to get that almost cloth like texture for your paper.
*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 (distressed) of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and gives the paper a 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.
You can find these items mentioned in my new Amazon store, The Vintage Glam Studio Collection, where these items are listed in separate relevant categories with a few comments on how I use them and for what task.
How to Use this Recipe Cards Journaling Printables
- Print and cut out the papers and use them as add on items for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners or you can use them as actual 4″ x 6″ recipe cards. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.
