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)

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…

Spring Journaling Cards – Free Printable

Just wanted to share a freebie with you that included spring themed journaling cards, especially if you are a Project Life scrapbooking fan.

What is Project Life?  In short,  It was developed by Becky Higgins and  is a “pocket styled book” form of memory keeping.

Basically you start with an album,  pocket pages in which you can insert different cards, journal cards, memorabilia, and photos. All these elements make up your layout as opposed to more traditional scrapbooking methods.

The journaling cards and elements can be used in regular scrapbooking, but I have sized the journaling cards with Project Life in mind.  (There are 12 scrapbooking elements in all).

Just a reminder, please abide by the  terms of use (TOU), I have listed above.  These journaling cards and tags are for personal use only.

Also when printing, the pdf sheet should print out at 8 1/2″ by 11″. Depending on how your printer handles pdfs, there may be some adjustments you might have to make.   Be sure to check your printer adjustments accordingly.

Update:  I have revised the pdf layout for this freebie.  I resolved the distortion problem it seemed to be having, especially when it came time to print.  The page now prints correctly on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ page. Thanks!
