Free Retro Pastel Journaling Spots Printable

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.

 Today, I am releasing a new design that I have been working on: a set of Retro or vintage journaling spots printables.    I used these vintage images by special permission to create these journaling spots for your spring and Easter paper crafting.

They are 1.75″ pastel circles with a pastel grid interior. 

I really had a lot of fun  designing these elements even though getting the authentic feel and worn look for these vintage images is a challenge.  I’m still working on perfecting these images to make them look even more realistic.

Popular Graphic Sites

 I really appreciate all of you who have visited this blog and also checked out Creative Fabrica and Rawpixel and signed up for their design graphics and vintage freebies! Your generous support helps me with providing additional freebies. 

Creative Fabrica is coming out with new tools all the time, and the latest is their Font Generator as they develop their studio design applications that use  AI features.  I have taken advantage of this and created several new fonts.  

In addition,  another one  of my favorite design sites, Rawpixel,  this site has a great assortment of public domain vintage images!   Create a free account using my link, if you so choose.  

Design Inspiration

I developed the inspiration for these printables  because I have been looking on Etsy for a specific style of  vintage items and they are hard to come by in a variety of colors.  As for the details about the freebie, there are three jpegs in all.  The elements are all designed and saved  as jpeg files.   These are approximate measurements for these elements.

Although these tags were made specifically as journal spots, as always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping.

Facts about the vintage  freebie:

  • There are two free printables;  two US Half letter jpeg files
  • These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp. (The preview pictures on the blog and at Google are at 72 dpi, the actual download’s color is actually much smoother and softer.)
  • Printing tip:   I would advise that you print on heavy white cardstock, plain or matte to use as die cuts or  use white sticker paper to use  as stickers.
  • Color theme: pastel, yellow, pink, light blue

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” , and thanks to those of you who are following me on my Instagram account.    I know you don’t always have time to leave a comment because you are busy, so I really appreciate it when blog visitors take the time to either like or comment on any of my platforms.

Thank you for your single pins and for some of you,  multiple pins of my various designs on Pinterest as well as Facebook links.  I also appreciate mentions in your blogs with appropriate link backs and active links.

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)  If you have been here before, you know the drill.  All this extra content might be a little tiresome (sorry, but I want newcomers to get a hang of what needs to be done to access their freebie!).

If not, you might want to read the quick  TOU below before you access the printable.

Free Vintage Memorial Day Junk Journaling 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.

memorial day junk journaling printables

Hello peeps !   I  thought you would enjoy today’s  release of this  Vintage Memorial Day Junk Journaling mini kit printables freebie as we approach Memorial day weekend (of course, for those of us in the US that are celebrating the holiday)!  However, this freebie can be used for all occasions with it’s bright red, white and blue color palette.

I have family that served (and are currently serving) in the armed services and this past year my uncle a blind veteran who fought in  the Korean War passed away.  I was very fond of him.  However, this freebie release is meant  to be  just a small reminder of  those that have served in the military and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Popular Graphic Sites

I often get many of my graphics from Creative Fabrica, so don’t forget to check out their digitals and specials, they usually release new specials each week.  And this weekend, for a limited time, they are having daily double deals and giveaways beginning tomorrow!  I get many of my script fonts  and cute, whimsical crafting fonts from this popular site.  It’s really great for diy crafters, Cricut users and makers.

Also,  many of these vintage images come from another of my current favorite sites, Rawpixel.  I love their vintage selection and lovely AI produced vintage pngs from popular artists.  

They have  high resolution and high quality vintage images available for free.   Don’t forget to sign up using my link for free images (up to three a day and many more vintage public domain images – they have changed their policy ) when you sign up for an account. 

I made these collage strips to use as belly bands, side pockets, or even bookmarks!   I used several pieces from a variety of scanned vintage images and combined them in the full page layout.   I also found another great site of public  domain vintage images at Duke University Repository  Collections and Archives, where I found the song sheet for “The Star Spangled Banner”, below.  I’m always on the hunt for great images.

I hope you like the set of printables!

As always, I thought I would mention that  I have a board on Pinterest  that  you might want to follow that has several ideas by other designers for project life freebies and techniques, you can view that here, DIY Crafts | Project Life Freebies, Tips & Techniques.

Well, on to the  freebie, there are three printables.  As always, these journaling cards and elements  can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, junk journals, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting.  You can also use them for your planners and personal organizers,  if applicable.

Free Fall Junk Journaling ATC 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.

vintage journaling atc cards on desktop

Hello peeps! Well, today I am providing an addition to  my latest vintage junk journaling mini kit printables!    This set has a variety of fall florals and birds on ATC cards that were designed in full color, vintage faded and sepia color themes.   I also included a set of coordinated labels and a Fall Floral A5 planner weekly insert.   You can use this kit  to  jump start  your crafting, art and junk journaling,  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download. 

Most of the lovely vintage images are public domain images and come from a wonderful website called Rawpixel, they offer unlimited downloads on  public domain images for free with a free sign up to their website.  You can download up to five images per day on their other free images.  They offer different high quality sizes of these graphics, some at resolutions suitable for professional printing.   I like this graphic website because they provide a lot of high quality png files as well as gorgeous vintage and vintage style images.

Many of the vintage style fonts were sourced from another of my favorite graphic design sites, Creative Fabrica.  The lovely fall watercolor florals were obtained from this site.  I would also like to mention that I sourced the postcard backgrounds from a great site of vintage ephemera called, The Art Scavenger.  

I didn’t add distressing shades or brushes on the individual images, because what I have seen is that different diy crafters have different preferences to the amount of distressing they prefer on their journal items, I will suggest that you take a look at Tim Holtz, distressing inks, if you are interested in what “distressing” with ink is all about.

Facts about the Vintage Junk Journal Kit Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 16 elements varying from journaling cards, tickets, tabs and a single isolated butterfly image.  As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping.

This free junk journaling mini kit includes: 1)  a set of ATC cards on US letter size jpeg   2) A second set of  bird ATC cards on  a 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file and 3)  A set of labels on a half US letter page and 4) a fall floral A5 weekly planner .   I didn’t bundle these files, so you will have to download them individually.  The watermark (if any) will NOT appear on your junk  journal page.

These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.   

Thanks for Your Social Media Repins

I’d like to say thanks to all those taking the time to comment, I sure appreciate the gracious “thank you’s” and the legitimate “link love”.  Thank you for your pins on Pinterest as well as a few Facebook links.  I also appreciate mentions in your blogs with appropriate link backs and active links.

My traffic keeps increasing from visitors from all over the world, thank goodness for Google translate!  I hope you don’t mind when I check out your Pinterest boards, and repin some of your pins to my boards, these pins usually provide inspiration for new designs of my own!

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)  If you have been here before, you know the drill.  If not, you might want to read the quick  TOU below before you access the printable.

How to Use these  ATC Junk Journal Kit Printables:

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 Explore or Maker  you can cut out the  journal kit using their designer software.

2) Also another method,  would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock or heavy white printer paper  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) Another way, (albeit a little 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 straight sides of stickers.  A gracious reader told me she does her fussy cutting while watching TV!  Great tip!
