This post may contain affiliate links. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Today, I have posted this set of Classic Happy Planner weekly planner stickers as we look forward to Mother’s day using this set of lovely lavender and floral themed digital papers. These graphics are chock full of lavender and whimsical images everywhere! I love these romantic, and feminine paper designs that I often get at Creative Fabrica .

Just a quick note about Creative Fabrica really improving their website and the quality artist’s that are joining this fabulous graphic site, so if you have the subscription (as I do) you are getting access to great quality digital graphics at a much lower price and it’s a friendly site for diy crafters, as well! They provide classes within the subscription to polish up your diy crafting skills.

Don’t forget that Monday’s are Creative Fabrica’s $dollar deals$ on great fonts and graphics that last for the whole week.

Info about the Classic Happy Planner

Me and my Big Ideas, the manufacturer of the Happy Planner has expanded their interior layouts to weekly, timeline, Memory Keeper and dashboard views. They come in different sizes; Big, Classic, Mini and Skinny. They keep updating what they offer every year.

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the “Classic” MAMBI Happy Planner (vertical layout) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other vertical weekly planners. If you resize them, of course, you can use them in whatever type of planner you own! I know I am not.

The functional planner stickers, especially the full box stickers, are sized to fit within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Classic Happy Planner. Keep in mind that the full boxes are now sized at approximately 2.5″ by 1.5″ .

They are almost 1/2″ taller than your vertical boxes for the Erin Condren Planner (1.9″). Sometimes the designs can not be scaled down for your Erin Condren, so expect some distortion to occur. However, you are free to mix and match as you are inspired.

As always, these stickers and elements can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and paper crafting but these were made specifically for you Happy Planner and Erin Condren fans.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “Weekly Planner Stickers” Printable:

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, (i.e. Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software.

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock 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) The most 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. In addition, don’t forget a paper trimmer which helps with the straight cuts and makes this task easier.

You should probably use punches for the circle stickers. I try to design the circle stickers at standard punch sizes. For hand cutting, a new tool I highly recommend is the Gyro-tool. It’s rotating blade allows you to cut around curvy shapes and is especially good around script stickers. Reader Tip: A reader noted that she fussy cuts her stickers while watching TV!

Facts about the Butterfly Dreams Weekly Planner Stickers freebie:

*A set of 130+ planner stickers on two 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg files. One set of coordinating stickers on half US letter page.

*These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
*Color scheme: lavender, various shades of green

junk journaling kit on desktop

Hello peeps! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my blog followers and visitors. 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 and see what I can come up with. 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 is 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 or great graphic sites that make these public domain images available. Of course, this is a second set that coordinates with my most recent post.

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 junk 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 26+ 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 tabs on a 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ jpeg file and 3) a png with St. Patrick’s Day phrases for your Cricutor Silhouette crafting. I didn’t bundle these files into a zip file , so you will have to download them individually.

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. Enjoy!

Latest Project I’m Working on…

I don’t always get a chance to share little tips on what I am working on. The following is a photo of my from my mini herb garden outside on my patio! I thought I would share this photo because it’s almost the first day of Spring and I thought this pic was so fitting for today’s post…

How to Use these Junk Journal Kit Printables:

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.

Pale Violet Iris Journaling Papers Add Ons

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.

tags printable on desktop

Hello peeps! It’s Friday and the end of the work week (well, for some folks)! Today, I’m providing the add ons for the “Pale Violet Iris” set of vintage ephemera journaling papers printables that I had hinted about in a recent post.

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) large tags- set 2 and (3) a mini envelope and liner (4) journaling papers resized (5) vintage mini ephemera neutral tags. (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. Your feedback is appreciated.

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 software program to get started with photo editing and crafting as well but does have some limitations.

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.

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.

Pale Violet Iris Journaling Add Ons 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, tags and other shapes.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Journaling Add Ons Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 5 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 5 journaling printables at 8.5″ by 11″ with assorted add-ons to coordinate or match with the original shabby chic rose papers I released. 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!

Color theme: red violet, periwinkle, moss green, light green

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 or Photoshop ) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters’ software.

How to Use this Pale Violet Iris Journaling Papers Printables

Print and cut out the papers and use them as add on items for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.
