Hello peeps! Well, today I am providing an update on my latest vintage junk journaling mini kit printables!  I have been watching several  junk journaling vids on Youtube 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 printable set to  jump start  your crafting, art journaling,  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s freebie download.

It has been awhile since I last created this type of freebie which are loaded with  vintage ephemera  and embellished with  vintage Photoshop brushes that I own or have created 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 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 14+ 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.  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!

I don’t always get a chance to share little tips on what I am working on.  The following is a photo of my tea dyed reinforcement labels, that I then stamped on with clear stamps (placed on acrylic blocks) and used black ink!  The photo also includes an envelope I made with the green vintage wallpaper provided in today’s freebie…

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.

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 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.

However,  if any designer feels their copyright has been infringed upon the freebie will promptly be removed and will no longer be available.  Designers vary in their restrictions for their terms of use (even for CU items), so although I try to be scrupulous, I may miss some.
