Hello peeps! Well, today I am providing an update on my latest vintage junk journaling mini kit printables!  I have been watching several  junk journaling vids on Youtube and that inspired me to try my hand at this project.   I wanted to help you out a little with a vintage ephemera junk journal mini kit printable set to  jump start  your crafting, art journaling,  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download.

Most of these images are public domain images and  came from a wonderful website called Rawpixel, they offer unlimited downloads on  public domain images for free with a free sign up to their website.  You can download up to five images per day on their other free images.  I like this graphic website because they provide a lot of high quality png files as well as gorgeous vintage images.

Today’s freebie was created from a variety of vintage ephemera fruit botanical images that were  downloaded and resized to approximate journaling cards size. 

I didn’t add distressing shades or brushes on the individual images, because what I have seen is that different diy crafters have different preferences to the amount of distressing they prefer on their journal items, I will suggest that you take a look at Tim Holtz, distressing inks, if you are interested in what “distressing” with ink is all about.

Facts about the Vintage Junk Journal Kit Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 6 elements varying from journaling cards and an 8 1/2 by 11 journaling page..  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has 1)  a junk journal page  on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file.   2) A set of larger neutral journaling images on a 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ jpeg file and 3) a  1912 raspberry seed catalog page with high resolution (4 MB).  I didn’t bundle these files, so you will have to download them individually.  The watermark (if any) will NOT appear on your junk  journal page.

These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.

The materials I used were all vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution.  Enjoy!

I don’t always get a chance to share little tips on what I am working on, I am providing more of these pics on my Facebook and Instagram accounts.   The following is a photo of my paper ruffle ribbons made from vintage book pages and some farmhouse ribbon that I  recently made.

How to Use these Junk Journal Kit Printables:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers and I have included a few 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, such as the Cricut Explore or Maker  you can cut out the  journal kit using their designer software.

( **Please note:  You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. I also have redesigned the template so that the margins are within the “registration” area of your silhouette.   You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette  but this should make creating the cutfile a lot easier.) I have provided jpegs to resolve this problem.

2) Also another method,  would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock or heavy white printer paper  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) Another way, (albeit a little time consuming 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.  Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will reduce cutting around the straight sides of stickers.

Most of my elements are made from Commercial use or public domain sources. However,  if any designer feels their copyright has been infringed upon the freebie will promptly be removed and will no longer be available.  Designers vary in their restrictions for their terms of use (even for CU items), so although I try to be scrupulous, I may miss some.
