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!

Hello peeps! Today, I am releasing this beach themed pocket scrapbooking or journaling cards freebie for your pocket scrapbooking projects or journaling. This printable was inspired by the upcoming “Memorial Day” holiday and all the fun beach and barbecue activities that take place during this weekend.

I used to design these a little more often years ago and as I was editing some of my former blog posts, I thought I would start designing this type of printable a little more often. This type of printable challenges my design skills in a different way than designing planner stickers do. Most of the pocket scrapbooking printables I have designed in the recent past have been for mini calendars but I thought I would start adding a variety of new pocket scrapbooking printables for the season we are in.

I designed the background digital paper using line art graphics from one of my fav graphic sites, Creative Fabrica. And for great vector designs, I usually check out Vecteezy for free (for personal use or with attribution) and paid design resources. Just remember you can choose one or all…it’s up to your crafting needs and desire. Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend with your loved ones…

Free Tea Time Watercolor Digital Paper

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.

Hello peeps! It’s almost the end of February and I wanted to provide this red “tea time” themed set of watercolor digital paper printables for you. Today, I am providing a set of seamless gorgeous “red” watercolor digital papers with a bold color theme, and of course, tea time graphics.

I designed about 85% of the background vector graphics and other elements in these papers, the watercolor graphics are commercial use by the talented designer listed at the bottom of the post.

This is a whole new fun part of designing that I am currently exploring as I get a lot more familiar with using Photoshop CC and Adobe Illustrator (paid subscription) for designing digital paper and patterns. I had this set pre-designed at the end of last year and I was able to recover it from my Windows hard drive. Whew, saved it out of the permanent trash can!

This is my sixth digital paper set, that I have provided. I received some great feedback to my last set, so I am including this one as well. I also added a set of tabs made with this digital paper because that seems to be a hot item on my blog!

This time I am adding a couple of new papers that I have been able to figure out how to design, and make them seamless as well– two challenging tasks when designing digital paper.

Facts about the Tea Time Digital Paper

The picture below is the preview of the paper at 72 dpi, however the original is located on my Google Drive account and the file size is approximately a little hefty at 6 MB.

This set of digital papers were designed by me and were designed as 8″ x 8″ , 300 dpi seamless digital papers using several Photoshop CC brushes, actions and overlays. There are five 8″ x 8″ jpeg files in the zip file download, I added the doily paper pattern at the last minute.

These digital papers are included in the zip file. I have added a doily gingham as the one extra pattern in this mini set. I am still trying to master the “symmetry” factor in the gingham but it is seamless and has a hand drawn look.

I also am excited to share the new foil texture “words” that I have provided below. I created the “red foil” texture in Photoshop after watching a great Youtube video tutorial. After a few tries, I was pleased with the result…I hope you are too!

I plan to release a few more of my designs from time to time in the future. I am still working on the coordinating graphic ( lines, dots, chevron) type of paper. The list of ideas is growing!

Color Theme

Many designs come with some inspiration, and the following pic gives you a peek of the pattern I designed for this digital paper set and the tea time photo that was the inspiration.

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 you are new (no problem), you might want to read the quick TOU below before you access the printable.

Materials and Supplies

You will need to have software that opens zip files in order to access the jpgs. You will also need access to some type of online or offline photo editing software, like Canva or Pixlr to use the files.

You will need to have access to some type of digital cutter software like Silhouette Design Studio or Cricut to print and cut the word and tab printables. They make print and cut printables easy but are not absolutely necessary.

I would suggest that you use a glossy or non glossy photo paper in order to print the red foil words printable, otherwise your results will come out muddy and flat and the photo texture will be lost. If you are using them digitally, then of course, printer paper is not a concern.

Some things you should know before downloading:

* Vintage Glam Studio printables are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
*You may not re-sell, redistribute, or claim the original or derivative designs as your own.

*These freebies are not to be used in POD (Print On Demand) sites such as Redbubble, Spoonflower, etc. or other digital download sites. You’re free to use them for personal papercrafting projects but the copyright remains with me.

*Please do not remove the watermark or modify the design in any way other than for your own Personal use.

*If you post this on the internet or projects made from this paper, please give credit to Vintage Glam Studio & link back to my blog, so others can obtain the resources. Pinterest, Twitter,Instagram and Facebook are great social media sharing platforms, it’s the sharing without a link back that can be a problem.
