Hey planner peeps, with Mother’s Day around the corner, I have released this pink girly style washi printable for you! I wanted to help you out with this doodled washi printable to jump start your bullet journaling, art or junk journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie! This time I provided two sizes of the same desig for you. The washi on the letter (US) size printable is approximately 3/4″ tall and the washi on the half letter (US) size is approximately 3/8″ tall.

I love, love washi. So, I have wanted to create washi with color themes and designs that I like and that you might enjoy as well. You can use this washi for either scrapbooking, art journaling, smashbooks and other paper crafting uses.

Today’s freebie was created from a variety of doodled images and vector patterns. I also added a few post its on the half letter size because I thought it would coordinate well.

If you visit my blog often, you know by now that I am always experimenting with different patterns and this happens to be my latest washi freebie! Hope you like the doodled designs – there are a variety of patterns in this freebie and in two sizes-letter size and half letter size.

Facts about the Doodled Girly Style Washi Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 12 elements or washi strips and all the patterns are different. The washi on the the letter size is approximately 3/4″ wide, basically your standard washi size. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your junk journals, art journaling projects or other types of memory keeping.

This second free printable has 14 elements on an 5 1/2″ by 8″ jpg file. I designed it so that it can be used on either a Cricut digital Cutter or Sihouette Portrait. The download file size is approximately 2 MB each.

The materials I used were 300 dpi vector doodles purchased from other designers and some doodle designs are my own in three different pink hues.

How to Use this “Doodled Girly Style Washi” Printable:

Use these washi stickers for your planners, junk journals, as an envelope wrapper and other fun ideas. Let your creativity guide you!

There are several ways you can cut this printable to create your washi stickers and I have included a few tips 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 and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter, (i.e. Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software. If you own the Silhouette Cameo, you can double the image on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper on a landscape setting as the sticker sheet is 5.5 x 8”. This will keep you from wasting paper.

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock depending on how thick you want your sticker and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.

3) The most labor intensive 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. In addition, don’t forget a paper trimmer which helps with straight cuts. For hand cutting, a new tool I highly recommend is the Gyro-tool. It’s rotating blade allows you to cut around curvy shapes and is especially good around script stickers. Reader Tip: Cut the stickers while watching TV!

Watercolor Annual Calendar 2022 – Free Printable

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information

Today I have released a watercolor annual calendar for 2022, so that you can get ready for all your planning for the year.

You’ll have three choices to choose from:

1) a watercolor annual calendar ( 8 1/2 x 11) which is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and/or…

2) a watercolor annual calendar ( 81/2 x 11) that is set up with a Mon-through-Sun week and was specifically created for Erin Condren and Happy Planner users; however, of course, it can be used as a reference for project life fans as well as regular personal and work planning.

3) a half letter size watercolor annual calendar that should fit as an A5 planner inserst.

Ideally, you can use your calendar by referring to each week during your planning time and planning out your weekly to do’s. You might have developed the habit of taking at least 20 minutes every Sunday evening to view the week’s upcoming tasks and to do’s on your to-do list.

If not, now’s the time to develop that habit for the new year especially if “being more productive” or “using my time wisely” will be one of your New Year’s resolutions

Using your Annual Calendar

I designed this organization/planner freebie in order to get a bird’s eye view of the year all on one page and decorated it with a lovely floral watercolor arrangements. The font for the calendar is palitoon and , the week format is Sunday through Saturday and the weekends are light grey.

I have provided two annual calendar printables, one regular and one with the week’s number on the left hand side. You can reduce the printable in order to fit most planners, if you would like to use them as an insert.

You can use the calendar to refer to as you plan your week or for other purposes.

Planning Your Week

I also designed the following printable to use as a brain dump to provide you a “worksheet” to gather or place all your tasks for the upcoming week. It’s sort of a pre-planning sheet or a place to list all your “to do’s” and then commit them to a specific day.

It isn’t a necessary step, but I find it helpful to write up all my tasks, then allocate the day of the week I will post them in my planner. If I don’t get to all of the tasks, at least I can pick from the “top three” tasks for each day and feel I have been productive.

Here’s a sample of that weekly planner page. You can click on the image to access that printable as well.

Choosing Your Planner

Your planner choice will be a very personal one ( if you are not using one already) and there are many variables that will contribute to your decision. These annual calendars can be used in a notebook that takes 8 1/2 by 11 paper.

In addition, I have a board on Pinterest you might want to follow that has several ideas by other designers for Home Office Planning , stationery and Erin Condren Life Planner, Happy Planner, and other types of planner needs. You can view that board here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Facts about the freebie:

These free printables were designed on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file.
File size: 2 MB and 2MB
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.
Printing tip: I would adjust the printing quality on your printer in order that you do not get an excessive amount of ink saturation. Just a tip, if you plan to use regular office paper as this freebie is at 300 dpi and you may need to adjust as you print.
Color scheme: black, white, dark grey, pink,green

Free Tea Time Watercolor Digital Paper

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Hello peeps! It’s almost the end of February and I wanted to provide this red “tea time” themed set of watercolor digital paper printables for you. Today, I am providing a set of seamless gorgeous “red” watercolor digital papers with a bold color theme, and of course, tea time graphics.

I designed about 85% of the background vector graphics and other elements in these papers, the watercolor graphics are commercial use by the talented designer listed at the bottom of the post.

This is a whole new fun part of designing that I am currently exploring as I get a lot more familiar with using Photoshop CC and Adobe Illustrator (paid subscription) for designing digital paper and patterns. I had this set pre-designed at the end of last year and I was able to recover it from my Windows hard drive. Whew, saved it out of the permanent trash can!

This is my sixth digital paper set, that I have provided. I received some great feedback to my last set, so I am including this one as well. I also added a set of tabs made with this digital paper because that seems to be a hot item on my blog!

This time I am adding a couple of new papers that I have been able to figure out how to design, and make them seamless as well– two challenging tasks when designing digital paper.

Facts about the Tea Time Digital Paper

The picture below is the preview of the paper at 72 dpi, however the original is located on my Google Drive account and the file size is approximately a little hefty at 6 MB.

This set of digital papers were designed by me and were designed as 8″ x 8″ , 300 dpi seamless digital papers using several Photoshop CC brushes, actions and overlays. There are five 8″ x 8″ jpeg files in the zip file download, I added the doily paper pattern at the last minute.

These digital papers are included in the zip file. I have added a doily gingham as the one extra pattern in this mini set. I am still trying to master the “symmetry” factor in the gingham but it is seamless and has a hand drawn look.

I also am excited to share the new foil texture “words” that I have provided below. I created the “red foil” texture in Photoshop after watching a great Youtube video tutorial. After a few tries, I was pleased with the result…I hope you are too!

I plan to release a few more of my designs from time to time in the future. I am still working on the coordinating graphic ( lines, dots, chevron) type of paper. The list of ideas is growing!

Color Theme

Many designs come with some inspiration, and the following pic gives you a peek of the pattern I designed for this digital paper set and the tea time photo that was the inspiration.

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)

If you have been here before, you know the drill. If you are new (no problem), you might want to read the quick TOU below before you access the printable.

Materials and Supplies

You will need to have software that opens zip files in order to access the jpgs. You will also need access to some type of online or offline photo editing software, like Canva or Pixlr to use the files.

You will need to have access to some type of digital cutter software like Silhouette Design Studio or Cricut to print and cut the word and tab printables. They make print and cut printables easy but are not absolutely necessary.

I would suggest that you use a glossy or non glossy photo paper in order to print the red foil words printable, otherwise your results will come out muddy and flat and the photo texture will be lost. If you are using them digitally, then of course, printer paper is not a concern.

Some things you should know before downloading:

* Vintage Glam Studio printables are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
*You may not re-sell, redistribute, or claim the original or derivative designs as your own.

*These freebies are not to be used in POD (Print On Demand) sites such as Redbubble, Spoonflower, etc. or other digital download sites. You’re free to use them for personal papercrafting projects but the copyright remains with me.

*Please do not remove the watermark or modify the design in any way other than for your own Personal use.

*If you post this on the internet or projects made from this paper, please give credit to Vintage Glam Studio & link back to my blog, so others can obtain the resources. Pinterest, Twitter,Instagram and Facebook are great social media sharing platforms, it’s the sharing without a link back that can be a problem.
