Hey planner peeps, with the approaching fall season, I wanted to get ahead of your Halloween planning with this vintage washi printable for you! I wanted to help you out with this washi printable to jump start your bullet journaling, art or junk journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie! This time I provided two sizes of the same design for you. The washi on the letter (US) size printable is approximately 3/4″ tall and the washi on the half letter (US) size is approximately 1/2″ tall. Some of these images are from Creative Fabrica, a fav graphics site that I subscribe to…among others.

I love, love washi. So, I have wanted to create washi with color themes and vintage designs that I like and that you might enjoy as well. You can use this washi for either scrapbooking, art journaling, smashbooks and other paper crafting uses.

Today’s freebie was created from a variety of vintage images and vector paper patterns. I also added a few circles on the half letter size because I thought it would coordinate well.

If you visit my blog often, you know by now that I am always experimenting with different patterns and this happens to be my latest washi freebie! Hope you like the vintage halloween designs – there are a variety of patterns in this freebie and in two sizes-letter size and half letter size.

Facts about the Vintage Inspired Halloween Washi Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 15 elements or washi strips and all the patterns are different. The washi on the the letter size is approximately 3/4″ wide, basically your standard washi size. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your junk journals, art journaling projects or other types of memory keeping.

This second free printable has 24 elements on an 5 1/2″ by 8.5″ jpg file. I designed it so that it can be used on either a Cricut digital Cutter or Sihouette Portrait. The download file size is approximately 2 MB each.

How to Use this “Vintage Inspired Halloween Washi” Printable:

Use these washi stickers for your planners, junk journals, as an envelope wrapper and other fun ideas. Let your creativity guide you!

There are several ways you can cut this printable to create your washi stickers and I have included a few tips 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, (i.e. Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software. If you own the Silhouette Cameo, you can double the image on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper on a landscape setting as the sticker sheet is 5.5 x 8”. This will keep you from wasting paper.

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock 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) The most labor intensive 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. In addition, don’t forget a paper trimmer which helps with straight cuts. For hand cutting, a new tool I highly recommend is the Gyro-tool. It’s rotating blade allows you to cut around curvy shapes and is especially good around script stickers. Reader Tip: Cut the stickers while watching TV!

By The Seaside Journaling Papers 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.

Happy midweek! Today, I’m providing my latest vintage ephemera journaling papers printables. Today I really mixed up the design and since it is late summer, I didn’t want to miss a sea themed set of printables for you. I had some of these images in my vintage digital clip art stash for years…and a week or so ago, the inspiration for these designs clicked! I went with subtle images and muted colors for these printables and thought they might work with other digital papers or scrapbook pages you might have.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily and all the layering. I also designed the sea objects repeat pattern as well.

Note: The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging at the largest 5 MB . Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have and the type of printer paper that you use. 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.

By The Seaside Design Inspiration

I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie. I have been watching a lot of junk journaling videos on Youtube to get an idea on what types of papers might interest you and other junk journalers. This was inspired by a few sea or beach themed crafting videos I had watched on Youtube and the fact that I remembered that some of my favorite seafaring vintage movies are Captain Blood and Lady Hamilton. I actually watched this movie again for the umpteenth time this weekend!

That little exposure to movies and vid tuts about the sea spurred the creation of these designs. I am always excited to develop new ideas for tags and now papers with a vintage ephemera theme for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses.

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 have designed), vintage ledger script entries, vintage sea clip art, papers that I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! I particularly liked the “sentimental” poem, “Happenings” I found in a book published in the late 1800s, I hope you enjoy reading it!

I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many graphics) has ended their July sale but they have a whole new promotion to prepare for Halloween crafting. They are offering a host of freebies and giveaways, so if you are interested don’t forget to get in on the fun.

Facts about the Seaside Journaling Papers Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 junk journaling pages in this blog post printables offer. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has four journaling pages at 8.5″ by 11″, stay tuned for the add-ons I will be posting in the near future. 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.

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, Southmore 25% Cotton paper or white sticker paper, depending on your final use.

*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 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) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters. You can also resize the printables easily in a basic Powerpoint program, Windows or MAC.

How to Use this Seaside Journaling Papers Printable

Print and cut out the papers and use them as pages for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners.
Resize and create tags or pockets for your journals or planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.

Free Fall Binder Cover 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.

Hey planner fans! While I have been designing a variety of planner stickers over the years, I rarely had released letter size printables for household or office binders or the Big Happy Planner which all use printables or inserts at 8 1/2″ x 11″.

To get ahead this year, today, I am providing these printables that can make your plain, boring binders much prettier. Well, I’m making up for lost time by releasing today’s freebies – pretty fall binder printables–that is binder covers including spine labels for three different binder sizes.

These binder cover printables are specifically designed for binders you can purchase at Target or other Office supply stores or online on Amazon and slide the covers .

Tip: You can select the spine label that suits the spine of the binder you purchased. You can simply print the files and then create your label with your own handwriting .

Or, you can use photo editing software to edit the label names, if you have the software available. I would suggest using the online photo editing tool, Canva , as a way to edit the labels easily, if you don’t own photo editing software. I used my Canva account and their free fonts to edit the label in the following image.

Also, if you are new to this site, I wanted to let you know that I have a board on Pinterest that you might want to follow that has several pins (ideas) by other planner designers, stationery, home office decor, office supplies and planner freebies that are mostly planner related, you can view that and/or follow here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “Binder” Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your binder covers 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 cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can edit, print and cut out the spine labels using their designer software.

2) Make sure you keep the aspect ratio of the jpg files at 8.5″ by 11″. If you edit the files in Canva you can download the files as pdfs to make the printing easier.

3) One more tip, when you print out the planner binder spine labels, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the straight cutting. Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will assure you have much straighter cuts.

Facts about the freebie:

2 sets of binder printables on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpg file. (2550 x 3300 pixels) in zip file.
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
Color scheme: black, gold, orange, green
