Vintage Christmas Journaling Tags and Add Ons

Vintage Christmas ephemera Santa printables on desktop

Hello peeps!  It’s Friday and the end of the first week of December !  Today,  I’m providing the add ons for the “Christmas Vintage Paper Textures” set of vintage ephemera journaling paper printables  that I had published a few days ago.

Your enthusiasm motivated me to come up with some new ideas and hopefully these journaling  add ons are great assets to add to your paper stash!  So, I designed… (1) medium tags (2) vintage postcard backs and (3) a mini sheet of Christmas postage stamps.  (Any watermarks are removed in the downloads.).  Let me know what you think about these designs in the comments section below, if you have time.  Your feedback is appreciated.

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.)  Photoshop Elements is great software program to get started with photo editing and great for diy crafting as well but does have some limitations as compared to it’s cousin Photoshop.

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 and sharper your 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.

Christmas Vintage Ephemera 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 use.  I absolutely love, love these vintage images of Santa Claus or St.  Nicholas and hope you’ll enjoy the tags I designed.   The phrase on the tags is from the famous poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore.  I remember my Kindergarten teacher (who was a very expressive reader) reading this poem out loud and how we were all captivated by the story and her voice!  I know I have my own set of children who follow this blog with their Mom’s or Grandmothers, so here is my rendition of this poem in the video below.  Hope it brings you a little joy or a laugh.

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.  

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from  vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I am designing),  ledger papers,  vintage Santa images that  I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1900s!  Each design requires different Photoshop skill sets, so I enjoy the process and challenge of designing these images, tags and other shapes.  I learned a few new skills with this design.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera  Journaling Add Ons Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 5 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 2 journaling printables at 8.5″ by 11″ with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match with the original vintage Christmas  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!

Color theme: cranberry red and forest green

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.   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 (distresses) 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 or Photoshop ) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters’ software.

How to Use this Pale Violet Iris Journaling  Papers Printables

  • 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.)

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

Design Inspiration

I so enjoy 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.  I mentioned previously about how many crafting/junk journaling  Youtube videos I am watching for inspiration and ideas.   The list of ideas is long.

These jpegs are created in Photoshop CC at a high quality dpi, so some of the files may be large at approximately 5 MB.   I designed the repeats in these patterns in Photoshop and than layered with other paper textures to provide you with the journaling papers I am releasing today.  If you are not into junk or art journaling, you can also resize some of these images and 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 ledger script, vintage Christmas music images I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s and great vintage ephemera websites.   I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica  (a great graphic resource site and my go to site) is having an awesome  sale throughout this month as we get ready for holiday/Christmas crafting, be sure to check out their daily freebies and giveaways.   I took advantage of their Black Friday sale and reduced the annual cost of my subscription.  There are a lot of  other great digital graphics websites that I use, but I have been pleased with the offers provided by Creative Fabrica.  The chinoiserie graphic below was is an exclusive design by Creative Fabrica’s graphic designers.

For the longest time, I  have been wanting  to create  some french newspaper  fold-able  tabs with  vintage  newspaper  ephemera for either scrapbooking, journaling, smashbooks, December Daily  and/or other paper crafting use.

So, for today’s freebie I used actual vintage french newspaper clippings digital paper and a sheet of vintage paper texture digital paper.  

Facts about this Vintage Ephemera Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 26 elements, a variety of fold-able tabs, inchies and word stickers.  As always, they can either be used for journaling,  in your planning or other types of memory keeping.

The free printable has 26 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpg file and the download file is about 5.1 MB.  Unlike the previous freebie, the files are smaller but still yield hi res results. These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.

The materials I used were  vintage french newspaper clippings digital paper and vintage paper texture digital paper.  Enjoy!

For your information, Cricut is having a huge sale on their digital cutters for this weekend with huge savings, so I am making the available affiliate links until the end of this weekend!
