Today, I am releasing a new design as part of a series of related printables  that I have been working on: a set of Retro or vintage journaling cards printables and elements.   

I designed these ATC journaling cards  (they are the size of standard playing cards) in Adobe illustrator with retro images from Raw Pixel  for your spring and Easter paper crafting.  These ATC journaling cards have a chick, a lamb and a bunny.  I have been working on a few spring junk journals and wanted some spring ephemera!  The playing cards are my original design and I am working on more designs.  I haven’t completed all 52, yet: but I am working on it. 

I really had a lot of fun  designing these elements even though getting the authentic feel and worn look for these vintage images is a challenge.  I’m still working on perfecting these images to make them look even more realistic and time worn.

Popular Graphic Sites

 I really appreciate all of you who have visited this blog and also checked out Creative Fabrica and Rawpixel and signed up for their design graphics and vintage freebies! Your generous support helps me with providing additional freebies. 

Creative Fabrica is coming out with new tools all the time, and the latest is their Font Generator as they develop their studio design applications that use  AI features.  I have taken advantage of this and created several new fonts.    

In addition,  another one  of my favorite design sites, Rawpixel,  this site has a great assortment of public domain vintage images and other AI tools!   Create a free account using my link, if you so choose.  

Design Inspiration

I developed the inspiration for these printables  because I have been looking on Etsy  and Ebay  for a specific style of  vintage items and they are hard to come by in a variety of colors. 

As for the details about the freebie, there are 7  ATC journaling cards  in all.  The elements are all designed and saved  as a jpeg file on a US letter layout.   The approximate measurements for these elements; the cards are 2.5″ x 3.5″.  The postcards were originally sourced from a great site of vintage ATC cards and digital printables, The Art Scavenger.  This site has a large amount of vintage themed printables for your junk journaling and paper crafting use.

Although these cards were made specifically for project life , as always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, junk journaling, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping.

Facts about the vintage  freebie:

  • There is one free printable;  one US letter jpeg file
  • These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp. (The preview pictures on the blog and at Google are at 72 dpi, the actual download’s color is actually much smoother and softer.)
  • Printing tip:   I would advise that you print on heavy white cardstock, plain or matte to use as die cuts or  use white sticker paper to use  as stickers.
  • Color theme: pastel, yellow, pink, light blue, spring green

Free Fall Junk Journaling ATC Printables

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.

vintage journaling atc cards on desktop

Hello peeps! Well, today I am providing an addition to  my latest vintage junk journaling mini kit printables!    This set has a variety of fall florals and birds on ATC cards that were designed in full color, vintage faded and sepia color themes.   I also included a set of coordinated labels and a Fall Floral A5 planner weekly insert.   You can use this kit  to  jump start  your crafting, art and junk journaling,  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download. 

Most of the lovely vintage images are public domain images and come 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.  They offer different high quality sizes of these graphics, some at resolutions suitable for professional printing.   I like this graphic website because they provide a lot of high quality png files as well as gorgeous vintage and vintage style images.

Many of the vintage style fonts were sourced from another of my favorite graphic design sites, Creative Fabrica.  The lovely fall watercolor florals were obtained from this site.  I would also like to mention that I sourced the postcard backgrounds from a great site of vintage ephemera called, The Art Scavenger.  

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 16 elements varying from journaling cards, tickets, tabs and a single isolated butterfly image.  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping.

This free junk journaling mini kit includes: 1)  a set of ATC cards on US letter size jpeg   2) A second set of  bird ATC cards on  a 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file and 3)  A set of labels on a half US letter page and 4) a fall floral A5 weekly planner .   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.   

Thanks for Your Social Media Repins

I’d like to say thanks to all those taking the time to comment, I sure appreciate the gracious “thank you’s” and the legitimate “link love”.  Thank you for your pins on Pinterest as well as a few Facebook links.  I also appreciate mentions in your blogs with appropriate link backs and active links.

How to Use these  ATC 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.

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.  A gracious reader told me she does her fussy cutting while watching TV!  Great tip!

vintage atc cards

Well, I have gone back to my vintage theme with today’s freebie.  I have been experimenting with some of my brushes, overlay blends,  vintage images and vintage ephemera and came up with these designs.

I decided to combine two different styles, an art journaling doodled style on some of the vintage  ATC cards and vintage images of paper ephemera on the others.

I selected butterflies with a blue color theme in the wings, I guess I felt it coordinated well with the soft browns and creamy color of the paper.  Just my little dabbling  into “digital” mixed media.

Facts about the ATC Cards

As for the details about the freebie, there are 8 different ATC cards measuring 2.5″ by 3.5″ some with butterflies and others with doodles and quotes that I liked.

As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journaling or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has 8 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.  This freebie’s file size is  rather large at approximately 11.5 MB.  The elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.  The paper texture at 100% detail are taken from vintage ephemera digital files scanned at a high dpi.  Hope you like them! 🙂
