Happy Friday! Today, I’m providing the latest vintage ephemera journaling papers printables add- on I had hinted about in my most recent post.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and 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.) The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging around 2 MB each and the reduced papers at 6.5 MB. Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have. 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.

Blue Hydrangea Journaling Add Ons Design Inspiration

I am totally enjoying designing these projects. 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 uses. I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables more frequently.

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. The add-ons I added today have alot more options for traditional planners since the images are at a smaller scale.

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I am designing), round hand script, music sheets, vintage botanical images I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! I have also added one of my favorite design elements–vintage baroque scrolls to the design. In addition, I created a journaling cards size daguerrotype photo of lovely blue hydrangeas taken by talented photographers on one of my fav free photo sites, Unsplash!

I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many graphics) is having an awesome “Christmas in July” sale throughout July, check out their daily freebies and giveaways, yesterday was a Silhouette Portrait! These are legitimate offers and giveaways but the goodies and discounts end on July 30th, 2022.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Journaling Add Ons Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 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 four journaling printables at 8.5″ by 11″ with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match with the original papers I released. 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!

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 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. You might consider white matte photo paper as I have included photo images in the journaling cards printable.

*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 of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and gives the paper an 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.

How to Use this Vintage Ephemera Journaling Papers Printable

Print and cut out the papers and use them as add on items for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.

Happy midweek! Today, I’m providing my latest vintage ephemera journaling papers printables; so, I decided to provide this new set of vintage junk journaling papers with a blue hydrangea as the theme. I love flowers as you can see, and I thought a blue flower (which are not that common) would be an appropriate subject. My actual favorite color is violet, but blue is a very close second.

In any case, I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and 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. The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging around 7 MB each. Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have. 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.

Free Vintage Inspired Monthly Planner Inserts Printable

a5 planner on desktop

Hello peeps! I’ve been working away on these vintage inspired pages and I had a brainstorm to create these vintage inspired planner inserts. I know it’s the middle of July, but I thought you might like this “new” planner idea (to me anyway) that I have created. I received such a great response with my vintage journaling pages that it inspired this idea.

I wanted to get these planner inserts out to you as soon as possible.

The botanical background paper was designed by me, using a variety of high resolution vintage ephemera images and vintage Photoshop brushes that I have created from my vintage resources. Hope you like the digital vintage collage-style paper with a pretty blue theme that I designed!

These planner inserts are specifically designed for fans of the Carpe Diem Planner by Simple Stories or other A5 planners. Or the pages can be used in the Classic Happy Planner as planner inserts by using the Mambi punch and popping the pages right into your Classic Happy planner.

The size of the planner inserts are 148 mm x 210 mm or 5.83″ by 8.27″, your standard A5 page. The images are laid out on US letter size pages with instructions on how to use.

Also, if you are new to this site, I wanted to let you know that I have a board on Pinterest that you might want to follow that has several pins (ideas) by other planner designers, stationery, home office decor, office supplies and planner freebies that are mostly planner related, you can view that and/or follow here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

As always, these stickers and/or printables can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting but these were made specifically for A5 planner fans.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “ Planner Inserts” Printables :

There are several ways you can use this printable to cut out these freebies and I have included a few tips in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait, Cricut or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner inserts using their designer software. It makes the task a lot faster but is not necessary to have

2) For the planner dashboard, it would be ideal if you printed it on glossy or matte photo paper so that the watercolor, glitter or foil texture will show up clearly. However, simple cardstock will do for inserts. If you own a laminator, laminating the dashboard and then hole punching it will improve it’s wear.

3) Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which makes cutting a straight line easier, rather than using scissors.

Facts about the Planner Inserts freebies:

One 8.5″ x 11″ jpg file (2.9 MB)
One 8.5″x 11″ jpg file. (3.0 MB)
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
Color scheme: cream, blue, yellow, green, tan
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 not, you might want to read the quick TOU below before you access the printable.
