Hello peeps! H 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 and see what I can come up with. 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.

It has been awhile since I last created this type of freebie which is loaded with vintage ephemera and embellished with vintage Photoshop brushes that I own or have created and already have in my stash.

Today’s freebie was created from a variety of vintage ephemera-some made into Photoshop brushes and other’s are just png files of these images sourced from vintage paper items scanned at a high dpi or great graphic sites that make these public domain images available. Some images came from my favorite Etsy Shops.

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 junk 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 38+ elements varying from tabs, pocket cards, quotes 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 journaling tabs on a 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file and 3) a jpeg with days of week script words for your Cricut or Silhouette crafting. I didn’t bundle these files into a zip file , so you will have to download them individually.

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 and some newer elements obtained from Creative Fabrica. Enjoy!

How to Use these Junk Journal Kit Printables:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers or junk journaling elements 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 or cardstock 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 (or junk journaling element) 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.

Free Vintage Farmhouse Chicken Tags Printable

Hello, I hope you are all doing fine mid-week and are looking forward to getting ready for Thanksgiving, at least here in the US. As you can see, I am providing a rather unique design for today’s freebie ( a set of farmhouse chicken tags). They are made with original vintage farm ephemera and and my favorite aged vintage cream and black color scheme.

I really had a lot of fun designing these tags even though finding and collecting the vintage images was a challenge. The background images on the tags are from an original Chicken or Poultry Magazine. I have also included a tag with a chicken wire background and the titles of “hen” or “chicken” for a different look. In any case, I hope you like them. Check out the video below for a light hearted review of this diy.

Design Inspiration

The background was a great find on the interwebs, where I found a vintage farm poultry magazine page from the turn of the century, including vintage poultry magazine ads.

As for the details about the freebie, there are 6 elements in all. The tags measure approximately 3″ x 4″. I used a variety of images and vintage textures for these tags.

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

They can also be used in your kitchen/ household labeling. Here’s a great link on Etsy for this type of chicken/farmhouse imagery, Vintage Magazine Advertisement Chickens for your journaling or diy crafting.

Here’s a sample of what these tags look like once they are cut out and embellished. I used different eyelets for the tags and also used cotton string, twine, and black and white check ribbon to give you an idea how they might look tied with different string. You can choose to distress the tags with Tim Holtz’ distress ink (i.e. vintage photo) or tea dye if you prefer.

The following is one by Creative Fabrica, click on the picture to get the details about this offer!

Facts about the farmhouse freebie:

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 tags that are sturdy. The hole on the hang tags is approximately 1/4″.
Color theme: white, cream, black

vintage journaling tags

Hello peeps! When I shared that I have been experimenting with some of my “new” vintage brushes, overlay blends, and vintage images , I was serious. So, to make up for not publishing earlier in the week I am providing this set of journaling tags for your crafting and journaling pleasure.

The journaling tags are in six different colors and in three different sepia tones. There are two variations of the same image for you to use ” as is” or so that you can embellish for your art journals or art/bullet journals. I think they might serve as a good background or base for your designs and add a pop of color.

I added a linen texture which you can see clearly when you view the cards up close. These vintage journaling tags also have several sewing themed vintage elements that add additional interest. My sisters are the expert seamstresses in my family and my Mom still knows how to use her “serger” when she helps my sister make drapes or furniture coverings. I sew well enough for crafting and getting myself into trouble.

This is another example of my dabbling into “digital” mixed media and junk journaling.

Facts about the Journaling Tags

As for the details about the freebie, there are 9 different journaling tags measuring 2.5″ by 3.5″ , about the size of your standard baseball card.

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

This free printable has 9 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file. This freebie’s file size is rather large at approximately 8.4 MB. The elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp. The paper texture at 100% detail and the images are taken from vintage ephemera digital files scanned at a high dpi and Photoshop brushes that I have created. Hope you like them! 🙂
