Hello peeps! It’s Friday and the end of the work week (well, for some folks)! Today, I’m providing the add ons for the “Pale Violet Iris” set of vintage ephemera journaling papers printables that I had hinted about in a recent post.

Your enthusiasm motivated me to come up with some new ideas and hopefully these journaling add ons are great assets to add to your paper stash! So, I designed… (1) large tags (2) large tags- set 2 and (3) a mini envelope and liner (4) journaling papers resized (5) vintage mini ephemera neutral tags. (Any watermarks are removed in the downloads.). Let me know what you think about these designs in the comments section below, if you have time. Your feedback is appreciated.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily. (That’s part of the reason I subscribed to the CC version as soon as I was able.) Photoshop Elements is great software program to get started with photo editing and crafting as well but does have some limitations.

Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have, as a general rule the higher the dpi that your printer can print, the clearer your images will be. 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.

I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.

Time Sensitive Offer…

I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many modern graphics and svgs) 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. Also, Adobe Photoshop is running a huge Back to School Sale subscription with up to 60% off for Teachers and Students. You can check the Adobe image on my sidebar to get more details. This offer will end Sept. 5, 2022.

Pale Violet Iris Journaling Add Ons Design Inspiration

I am totally enjoying designing these projects. I am always excited to develop new ideas for tags and now papers with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting use. I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables more frequently.

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 am designing), ledger entries script, ledger papers, vintage botanical images I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! Each design requires different Photoshop skill sets, so I enjoy the process and challenge of designing these images, tags and other shapes.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Journaling Add Ons Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 5 journaling options in this printable. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping. This printable is for diy crafts but, of course, can be used in your journals.

This free printable has 5 journaling printables at 8.5″ by 11″ with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match with the original shabby chic rose papers I released. 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. You don’t absolutely need a digital cutter to print, cut and assemble your projects but they’re great tools!

Color theme: red violet, periwinkle, moss green, light green

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 or white sticker paper, depending on your final use. You might consider white matte photo paper as I have included photo images in the journaling cards printable. Other journaling crafters have mentioned Southworth linen/cotton paper for printing journaling papers to get that almost cloth like texture for your paper.

*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 (distresses) 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 or Photoshop ) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters’ software.

How to Use this Pale Violet Iris Journaling Papers Printables

Print and cut out the papers and use them as add on items for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.

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! 🙂

How to Use this “Journaling Tags” Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers 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 and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter such as the Cricut Maker or Explore you can cut out or planner stickers using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette.

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 rather 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 stickers.
