Floral Watercolor Bookmarks – Free Printable

Hello, blog visitors and followers. Well, we are now into May and the big day for Mom’s draws nearer!   I have a freebie today  that reflects a floral design and soft, spring  color palette.

I have been “playing” with a faux watercolor technique for a  while and thought that Mother’s Day is an appropriate time to provide a freebie with such pretty and happy colors. I also love the quote.

As for the details about today’s freebie,  you get 4 bookmarks at (7″x 2″)  .  I designed the freebie with a little bleed area between the outer dashed line and the bookmark to make it easier to cut.   This freebie is for all Mom’s that love to read and could be appropriate with a reading gift!

Facts about the freebie:

  •  4 bookmarks on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
  • File size is 2.39 MB.
  • 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 often distorted.
  • Color scheme:  soft green, pink

Thank you for all your Pinterest and other social media pins…

I’d like to say thanks to all those taking the time to comment, I sure appreciate the gracious “thank yous” and the legitimate “link love”.

Thank you for your pins on Pinterest as well as Facebook links.  I also appreciate mentions in your blogs with appropriate link backs and active links.  Many of you have been kind enough to feature some of my designs on your blogs and that has contributed to the increased traffic.

Lucky Irish Journaling Elements – Free Printable

Hey, Peeps!  Well, it’s a few days before the official celebration for St. Patrick’s Day, but I imagine this weekend will be filled with holiday celebration and fun leprechaun parties.

So, with the upcoming holiday in mind, I decided to create a project life or pocket scrapbooking freebie with journaling elements  that include iconic Irish images with a vintage twist.

I included a lot of authentic textures and muted green and neutral colors as well and with that…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Design Inspiration

*A little update*…I have been wanting to do this for a few months now and am so excited to get or make these live samples available.  I had to wait for my tech guru son to hook up the printer to the network ( all my laptop and electronics are on a mini-home network), so that I could really utilize the “print and cut ” feature of my Silhouette Design Studio software.  This is the result!  I still have a few calibration issues I have to resolve with the registration marks, but it is working!

 I tried the following samples and finished the details with some original “scherenschnitte”  (I think that’s German for scissor cutting) scissors featured in the picture below and a corner rounder.

Keep in mind, I printed these samples on plain white cardstock.  Just wanted to give you a sample of the 300 dpi print quality. Of course, your results will vary depending on your printer’s ink, the model of the printer and the quality cardstock you use.

As for the details about the freebie, there are four journaling cards and   16 elements in all.  You have four journaling cards (3″ x 4″) and a few more labels, tags and  elements as well.  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping.   Hope you like them. 🙂

Facts about the freebie:

  • This free printable has 16 journaling cards and  elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
  • File size = 9.07 MB.
  • 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: green, l. green, buff, tan (photo-realistic paper texture)

Some vintage St. Patrick’s Day images were obtained from the The Graphics Fairy and The Old Design Shop.  Both of these sites are outstanding resources for vintage ephemera! Check them out.

Most of my elements are made from commercial use or public domain sources, however if any designer feels their copyright has been infringed upon the freebie will promptly be removed and the freebie will no longer be available.  Designers vary in their restrictions for their terms of use (even for CU items), so although I try to be scrupulous, I may miss some.

Hello, I hope you had a great weekend and you are revved up for today’s journaling cards and journaling elements freebie.  This week’s inspiration comes from the colors of the rainbow, with so much rain falling in so many areas of the country, I thought it might be nice to have a colorful and cheery freebie.

I tried to include a few tab designs because I see that some of my followers have expanded to using some of  my printables for smashbooks, planners and journaling while others use them for Project Life or mixed media and altered art.  It doesn’t matter, let your creativity guide you to the best use.

As for the details about the freebie, there are 25 elements varying from circle labels, rounded corner “inchie” tabs, journaling cards and date elements.  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping or the uses mentioned above.

This free printable has 25 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.  The file size is approximately  300KB.  They were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp. I designed most of the clip art and other elements.

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 tips 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 Portrait or a Silhouette Cameo or other digital cutter( i.e. Cricut) 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.

Thank you for all your Pinterest and Social Media pins…
