Hello all my blog followers and visitors! I hope you are having a great  weekend  and carving out time for some crafting and lots of rest and relaxation.  Although in the United States you are probably super busy  for the upcoming holiday season and specifically Thanksgiving!

Lots of good things are happening here at VintageGlam Studio, so I wanted to give you a little review of what’s happening in regard to my Youtube Channel  before we enter the super busy holiday season.  Although, we  are pretty much  there already come to think of it …after a loooong time without publishing, I just wanted to let you know that I am back at it. 

I just wanted to share that I am actively refreshing and updating my Youtube Channel and video tools.  At this time, I hope to create lots of videos that basically provide a summarized review of my planner decor layouts in my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas, and Erin Condren Life Planner or .  I intend to also feature the junk journaling journals and tools that I have featured on my Instagram channel.  I have been trying to develop this aspect of my social media for years but didn’t have the time for video editing, uploading and all that jazz.

My plan for this year and into 2026 is to feature   planner decor videos that are under 5 minutes and they are edited so that you can get the real “meat” of the content. I also include most of the materials and supplies and sources in the Youtube description so that you can add it to your “crafting” list , if you are interested. And I would just love it, if you become a subscriber!  I’m sorry that in the past,  I had not posted enough video content.   

I had too many other time constraints to provide enough video content for my channel but with the discovery of  ever improving “new” phone and desktop  video editing tools that make this process so much easier and less time consuming, I intend to boost my video content for 2026, even if they are under 30 second shorts!

I plan to share some of my junk journal flip throughs, diy crafting and current video tools.   I would love it if you became a subscriber to my Youtube Channel.  The following are the online video editing tools I am currently using.

Top  Online Video Creation and Editing Tools

Online video editing tools have come a long way, offering a range of options for both beginners and more experienced creators. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Flexclip – Super user-friendly with a drag-and-drop interface. Great for simple edits, and it’s cloud-based, so you can work from anywhere. The free plan is limited, but it’s solid for basic needs. Upgrade to business plan to use it’s advanced features.  They have just added additional AI tools that are super amazing!  I have been testing them out and hope to do a longer post in the future. I especially like the “Image to AI Image” feature and the picture below will show the power of this tool.  I can’t get enough of it and have been testing this tool, for sure.  Please note (of course this is a copyrighted image, so I had to change the AI instructions to change the picture enough to not interfere with the copyright).   I believe these tools are available in the PRO version.
  2. Screenpal – This tool combines simplicity with a lot of features. You can trim, add text, and use effects without a steep learning curve.  This is desktop version and a phone app version.  I have used this for recording video short.  Free plan is decent, but you’ll need to pay for higher export quality.
  3. Adobe Express – It’s Adobe, so it’s got solid features and templates. Ideal for quick, polished videos. The free version gives you a lot of customization, but you may need to upgrade for more advanced options and exports.

Overall, these tools make video editing accessible without the need for heavy software or hardware, and fancy equipment. Perfect for quick edits or social media posts, but if you’re after deep functionality, you might need to go pro!  You’ll be seeing more of my video clips as we get prepared for  the new year in 2026!

I also hope to create more vids that cover some of the DIY’s that I have shared on my Instagram account. (You guys are keeping me busy!)   But that is all in the planning  and “get it done” stage for right now, in any case I just wanted to let you know what is going on and share a sample of the type of short  videos that I plan on publishing.

Thanks for your support and we’ll keep blogging away!

Free Vintage Floral Journaling Tags and Journaling Spots

Hello blog followers and visitors.  It seemed you liked my last vintage ephemera printable, so I decided to provide this new set of vintage rose torn edge tags and floral journaling tags printable.

I hope this freebie  inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.

These designs are fun to create.  I   am always excited to develop new ideas for  tags with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses.  I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables more frequently.  These are designed as half letter size jpegs, mostly so that the specialized font I used can be printed.  These jpegs are at the highest quality, so some of the files may be large.  I also included a  half letter size of journaling spots with a gesso effect for your journaling pleasure.  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 ledger paper, french script, vintage pink roses and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s.  I have added some vintage butterflies/moths as well to the journaling spots

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 12 elements 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 several vintage ephemera tabs and labels on two 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ jpg files.   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.

The materials I used were vintage  ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality vintage digital resources.

**Please note, although I used many public domain resources to create this design, the design is under my copyright.

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 or aged look.  Takes off the white edge of the journaling cards and journaling spots if you are using them for junk journaling.

*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 Printable

  • Print and cut out the labels and spots and use them as tags for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners.
