Vintage Halloween Tags – Free Printable

As promised, this is my rendition of vintage Halloween postcard inspired tags with a few modern graphic touches—just couldn’t resist the black chevrons and stripes.  The small dictionary print banner actually is has the  “Halloween”  word definition, just a little detail I hope my blog followers and visitors notice and appreciate.

A few words about this freebie’s inspiration…

I have seen these type of Halloween postcard images before and this blogger’s pin caught my  eye especially with the added tinsel and black ribbon.  Halloween ephemera or the actual vintage postcards are always increasing in value so,  usually you need to order a digital collage sheet from Etsy or other digital designers in order to get this vintage look.  I thought I would help you out to some degree with today’s freebie.

Freebie Printable Details:

  • 9 vintage halloween tags on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
  • File size = 11.3 MB
  • The tags measure approximately 2 1/4″ x 4″ and the starburst seal labels measure approximately 1 3/4″ in diameter.
  • Designed at 300 dpi. Printing results should be very clear and sharp. (Make sure you use heavy cardstock or matte cardstock).
  • As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping or perhaps, even for your Halloween party?

Creepy Crawly Halloween Tags – Free Printable

Hello, I hope you are starting to make your plans for Halloween and I have posted  today’s freebie, halloween tags, just in the nick of time.  This was a lot of fun to design and it’s my contribution to  the fun, whimsical, Halloween holiday tag theme for either your  “hardcopy” scrapbooking, smashbooks or perhaps even as party tags or gift tags for a treat of scrumptious goodies? Something like the ones in the pic featured below?  In any case, I have plans to follow-up with some vintage themed holiday tags.

Planner Sticker Specs

As for the details about the freebie, there are 9  tags designed in 3 different styles.  The tags measure approximately 2″ wide by 3 1/4″ tall.  I left a small circle to indicate where you might want to use either a 1/4″ hole punch or finish them off with a reinforcement label or metal brad.  I would suggest that you use heavy white cardstock for the print out. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has 9 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.  The file size is small at 1.22 MB.  These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.  The circles have a soft defined look which isn’t readily apparent in the preview.

Thank you  for all your Pinterest pins…

But don’t despair one of the most accessible Halloween collectible that is available on Ebay and other auctions sites are vintage Halloween postcards or greeting cards and at reasonable prices.

Since the late 1800s, the year that marked the “golden age” of postcards there have been a variety of Halloween themed postcards that were sent to family and friends.  However, what makes them difficult to find is that the holiday was not celebrated to the extent it is today and many housewives’ threw out their Halloween decorations along with holiday greetings.

Around the turn of the century, postcards were a popular way of sending greetings to friends and family. It was a popular way of communicating with loved ones in the “snail mail”, pre-internet days. The most beautiful and most collected Halloween postcards were published by John O. Winsch of New York between the years of 1911 and 1915.  Winsch used rich inks and embossing on his cards, and sent them to Germany to be printed.  At the time, Winsch sold his postcards two for a nickel, while postcards in America were charging one cent.

Popular Vintage Postcard Designers

The most popular designers for postcards at the time were:

Ellen H. Clapsaddle – She was one America’s well known and  most prolific designer who created her designs  for Raphael Tuck and Sons, International Art Publishing Company, and Wolf Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Inter-Art that Clapsaddle launched herself.

H.B. Griggs – Griggs, using the signature H.B.G., published almost exclusively for Leubrie and Elkus of New York. So little is known about the identity of the designer, that it’s not even know if the designer was a man or a woman.

Gracie Debbie Drayton – She designed or made Halloween cards for Raphael Tuck and Sons showing the similar big-eyed chubby-cheeked kids , that she created for Campbell’s Kids branding.
