fall words and mixed media printables on desktop

Hello peeps! Today, I’m providing my latest set of vintage ephemera journaling papers printables. As I had shared previously, I have been watching a lot of Youtube video tutorials on art journals, junk journals and other crafty pursuits.

Today’s printable is essentially a neutral mixed media journaling paper that was created to serve as a background for tags, pockets, or tiny clusters with lots of artsy brushes. There are actually two pages in one US letter printable. I also included fall words in an IBM Selectric type font and a popular handwritten font with an actual scan of the end papers of a vintage book. Last, but not least I included some tags and tabs to give you an idea how the journaling paper can be used.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files, huge brush files quite easily and all the layering and color adjustments involved. The vintage background papers are from a vintage french dictionary and a vintage botany textbook!

Note: The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging at the largest 6 MB . Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have and the type of printer paper that you use. As a general rule, the higher the dpi capability of your printer; the better your results.

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. You can send your files via the “interwebs” and pick up your copies later in the day or within 24 hours.

Fall Words Design Inspiration

I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie. I have been watching a lot of junk journaling videos on Youtube to get an idea on what types of papers might interest you and other junk journalers. This set was inspired by watching a Youtube video for creating “masterboards” the background pages for a variety of tags and tabs for vintage crafters.

I am always excited to develop new ideas for tags and now papers with a vintage ephemera theme for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses.

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I have designed), ledger paper, vintage french dictionary, vintage botany book and papers that I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s!

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.

About the Fall Words Journaling Papers Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 junk journaling pages in this blog post printables offer. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has four journaling pages at 8.5″ by 11″, stay tuned for the add-ons I will be posting in the near future. 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.

The materials I used were vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality and high resolution 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, Southmore 25% Cotton paper or white sticker paper or fabric paper, depending on your final use.

*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 of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and it gives the paper a subtle, aged and worn look. With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color that you prefer on your edges.

*Scissors or slide cutter

*Photo editing software (i.e., Photoshop Elements) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters. You can also resize the printables easily in a basic Powerpoint program, Windows or MAC.

How to Use this Fall Words Journaling Papers Printable

Print and cut out the papers and use them as pages for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners.
Resize and create tags or pockets for your journals or planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.
Print and tear (What tear?) the paper to create tiny mini clusters or tabs for your pockets or page decor.

junk journal kit on desktop

Hello peeps! Well, I really have something very different for you today! I have been watching several Youtube vids on junk journaling and that inspired me to try my hand at this project. I wanted to help you out a little with a vintage ephemera junk journal mini kit printables to jump start your crafting, art journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download.

I have been wanting to create this type of freebie with the vintage ephemera and vintage Photoshop brushes that I own and already have in my stash.

Today’s freebie was created from a variety of vintage ephemera-some made into Photoshop brushes and other’s are just png files of these images sourced from vintage paper items scanned at a high dpi. I made these with the color theme used by many of Tim Holtz’ vintage Idea-ology products. Of course, this is my first go round with this product, so on to giving you the info as to what you are getting in this freebie. I didn’t add distressing shades or brushes, because what I have seen different diy crafters have different preferences to the amount of distressing they prefer on their journal, I will suggest that you take a look at Tim Holz distressing inks, if you are interested in what “distressing” is all about.

Facts about the Vintage Junk Journal Kit Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 20+ elements varying from tabs, pocket cards, quotes and an 8 1/2 by 11 journaling page.. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has 1) a junk journal page on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file. 2) A set of journaling tags on a 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ jpeg file. 3) Foldable pockets and tabs on an 5.5″ by 8 1/2″ jpeg file. And 4) Ten quotes, Shakespearean quotes, (can you guess which is not written by Shakespeare? Note: Answer in the Image Credit notes below, in case you are curious) on an a 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ jpeg file. I didn’t bundle these files, so you will have to download them individually. The watermark will NOT appear on your junk journal page.

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

The materials I used were all vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution. Hopefully, you own a modern computer and internet connection that can make the download easier for you. Enjoy!

How to Use these 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.

( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. I also have redesigned the template so that the margins are within the “registration” area of your silhouette. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile a lot easier.) I have provided jpegs to resolve this problem.

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.
