Hello peeps! Today, I’m providing this assorted selection of for the “Nautical Adventure” set of vintage ephemera journaling papers printables for your summer junk journaling, or any other season you are thinking of the ocean or beach.
Your enthusiasm motivated me to come up with some new ideas and hopefully these journaling add ons are great assets to add to your paper stash! So, I designed… (1) large tags (2) collage page (3) a set of vintage textures (4) nautical stickers . (Any watermarks are removed in the downloads.). Let me know what you think about these designs in the comments section below, if you have time.
I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily. (That’s part of the reason I subscribed to the CC version as soon as I was able.), Photoshop Elements is great as well for handling these files. I also used Chatgpt and Adobe Firefly for some of the AI generated images.
Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have, as a general rule the higher the dpi that your printer can print, the clearer your images will be. 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.
I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.
Nautical Journaling Printables Design Inspiration
I am totally enjoying designing these projects. I am always excited to develop new ideas for tags and now papers with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting use. I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables more frequently.
If you are not into junk or art journaling, you can also pop these into the pockets of A5 planners or Traveler’s Notebooks if you enjoy a vintage aesthetic, as I do.
Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I am designing), ledger entries script, ledger papers, vintage botanical images I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! Each design requires different Photoshop skill sets, so I enjoy the process and challenge of designing these images.
I thought I would mention that Creative Fabrica (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many fonts) is gearing up for another great promotion, they just keep getting better and expanding the kinds of graphics that they are offering, so check them out if you choose.
Facts about the Vintage Nautical Ephemera Journaling Freebie
As for the details about the freebie, there are four journaling options in this printable. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping. This printable is for diy crafts but, of course, can be used in your journals.
This free printable has four journaling printables at 8.5″ by 11″ with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match. 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. You don’t absolutely need a digital cutter to print, cut and assemble your projects but they’re great tools!
The materials I used were vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality 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 or white sticker paper, depending on your final use. You might consider white matte photo paper as I have included photo images in the journaling cards printable. Other journaling crafters have mentioned Southworth linen/cotton paper for printing journaling papers to get that almost cloth like texture for your paper.
*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 (distresses) of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and gives the paper a subtle, aged and worn look. With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color 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 find most of the items mentioned above in my new Amazon store, The Vintage Glam Studio Collection, where these items are listed in separate relevant categories.
