St Patrick’s Day Vintage Ephemera 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.

Well, now we are rolling into the weekend and I wanted to help you out with your St. Patrick’s Day crafting with a vintage ephemera printable this weekend. I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.

I have been wanting to create some tabs and labels with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, journaling, smashbooks and other paper crafting uses. It’s been awhile since I have provided these to you; so, I’m excited with this release.

Today’s freebie has a lot of vintage ephemera from vintage postcards, vintage garden book pages and other sources of vintage ephemera items.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 22 elements varying from atc cards, tabs, inchies, and circles. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks or other types of memory keeping.

This free printable has 22 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file. Unfortunately, although I tried to keep the file size smaller, this freebie’s file size is really large at approximately 36 MB. 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 and other high quality digital resources, so I believe this contributed to the larger file size . Hopefully, you own a modern computer and internet connection that can make the download easier for you. Enjoy!

Sample Layout

To give you a little inspiration boost, I am providing some of these stickers on a vintage traveler’s notebook layout below…

Blog Announcement – Handmade Greeting Cards Now on my Etsy Store

Hello blog visitors and followers. Well, I imagine you are busy with all you last minute shopping, wrapping, crafting and all the last minute activities that can occupy your time in this holiday season.

I just wanted to share that I am beginning to post tangible papercraft products in my Etsy Store apart from the digital graphics. As we ahead into the new year,( imagine 2015 already?), I will be posting additional papercraft products handmade by moi!

I wanted to show you the detail on some of the recent limited greeting cards that I created and made available for sale on Etsy.

Greeting Card #1

I had holiday baking in mind when I created this card. I loaded it with a lot of embellishments including a clothespin, handcrafted flair and silhouette diecuts as well as a diecut banner made with my Sissix machine.

Greeting Card #2

I was thinking “vintage” with this card and wanted it decorated with snow mittens and a lot of feminine details, such as stitched scalloped borders. I even added the vintage sentiment because I thought it was so cute and of course, for more bling… pink glitter snowflakes and rhinestones.

Greeting Card #3

I was thinking of a “blue Christmas” with this card. I love all the light blue elements and especially enjoyed creating the woodgrain background for the card.

Greeting Card #4

Now what is Christmas crafting without a little gold and another favorite woodland animal…a deer. This card was so fun to craft. I added a lot of details including an embossed piece and white ink stamped piece of acetate to simulate viewing the snow through a window.

Greeting Card #5

This card was so much fun to handcraft. I used premade Jolee’s Boutique embellishments and placed it on an embossed backing designed by Anna Griffin. A little more formal. (This card is no longer available on Etsy and has been sold.)

Well, that’s the round up of cards I handcrafted and actually have made available on my Etsy Store. You will be seeing more papercraft items in the future as I coordinate my time for these handcrafted items. I hope you like my creations! 🙂

Don’t forget to follow me on the Social Media hangout of your choice and on my email subscription if you would like to receive my blog posts the day they are published. Thanks!
