Hello…and I hope you had a great weekend and you are ready for another red, black and white version of my whimsical journaling cards and elements. I have stepped away from my vintage theme and attempted a journaling card design with plenty of contrast in color and design.  I used some high contrast graphic elements with the checkerboard design.

As for the details about the freebie, there are four journaling cards plus a few elements  for a total of 30 elements.  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other type of memory keeping.

This free printable has 30 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.  The file size is less than 100 KB.  They were created at 300 dpi and I designed most of the clip art and other elements.

I have also included a little extra word art snippets and  a new element ,  a few paperclip flags, some elements  that I saw on Pinterest. These are not for sale from the original designer, so I designed my own.  I tried these out with a couple of my own paperclips and really liked the result.

This set will coordinate with my first whimsical set. (The link is at the bottom of the blog post.)

How to Use this “Journaling Cards” Printable:

There are a few ways you can use this printable to create your journaling cards and elements and I have included a few 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 or other digital cutter you can cut out the journaling cards and journaling elements using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. There are several pdf to jpg converters online if your software just can’t open a pdf. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile and cutting it out a lot easier.)
2. The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the journaling cards or journaling elements on 65 lb. white cardstock and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors or a slide paper trimmer  to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.
