Hello peeps! Today, I am providing these Halloween Retro style printables for a variety of junk journaling projects and fun planning ones, too. With today’s freebie I have provided printables with a cute “get in the Halloween mood” spooky cute retro syle printables for junk journals or as small stickers for your junk journals or planners. I hope you like these designs. I have been working really hard to design them and create a consistent Halloween gang. You will be seeing more in the very near future.
I designed these with Chatgpt Plus and Adobe Firefly and used these tools for prompting, designing and upscaling these AI generated images. I specifically worked on the prompts to get this vintage retro styling which is quite a little bit more challenging then other creators make it out to be.
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 final 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.
Retro Style Halloween Inspiration
As mentioned above, I have been developing and working on improving the quality of my printables using a variety of Ai tools such as Chatgpt Plus, Google Gemini and Photoshop CC. It is a learning curve but I hope you are liking the designs. I am working on cute Halloween/October designs and these items were on my wish list of things to create. I thought why not get into the Halloween mood and provide some of these items, these printables are basically a little Halloween gang of cute child characters. I’ve been naming the young vampire, Junior but if you can think of a cute name, post your suggestions below in the comment section.
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.
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. If you are paying attention to anything having to do with AI, there are many tools that are coming into the market but we will see how everything turns out. So, far I am using the tools that are mentioned above for consistent high quality results.
Facts about the Retro Style Halloween Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there are two journaling options in this printable available today. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping. These printables are for diy crafts but, of course, can be used in your journals.
This free printable post today has two journaling printables, journaling cards and stickers. 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 commentary why I think specific tools are great choices, many of which I own!
