lavender bookmarks

Hello peeps. Well, the weather is certainly warming up and cool, summery color themes are on my mind. Today, I decided to release these lovely lavender themed vintage bookmarks with a lovely brush script and farmhouse watercolor illustrations.

I went back to the drawing board and decided to add a new set of vintage bookmarks to those I have already released.

As for today’s freebie, I am doing something a little bit different, I have stuck to an ephemera/vintage color theme using a french book page with lovely french script (from the Graphic’s Fairy’s site) and other scanned vintage ephemera illustrations. However, the color theme is right for any time you want cool colors.

I love pretty bookmarks and I have several since I love to read. I’m excited to add these to my designs and hope you find them functional as well as pretty.

Facts About the Vintage Lavender Bookmarks

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 bookmarks that measure approximately 2″ wide by 7″ tall. As always, they can either be used for your traveler’s notebook journaling or in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journaling or other types of memory keeping. Or just what they were designed for, to keep your place in your latest read!

This free printable has 4 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file. This freebie’s file size is rather large at approximately 5.6 MB. The elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.

To make them more durable, try laminating them if you own a laminating machine. Punch a hole at the top and add a pretty matching or contrasting ribbon

Note: The design was laid out on a landscape orientation, so please remember to change the orientation on your printer when you send to print. The paper textures used french book page were scanned at a very high dpi and the watercolor lavender illustrations are high resolution watercolor images that I purchase on one of my favorite graphic sites, Creative Fabrica.

Materials and Supplies

Some of the supplies are optional, the additional supplies are mentioned in the event you want to make your bookmarks a tad fancier.

White cardstock
Scissors or slide cutter
Silhouette Digital Cutter or Cricut, there are mostly straight cuts, so your digital cutter (if you own one) is not necessary.

Hole Punch
Ribbon or contrasting ribbon

Hello, I hope you had a great weekend and you are revved up for today’s journaling cards and journaling elements freebie. This week’s inspiration comes from the colors of the rainbow, with so much rain falling in so many areas of the country, I thought it might be nice to have a colorful and cheery freebie.

I tried to include a few tab designs because I see that some of my followers have expanded to using some of my printables for smashbooks, planners and journaling while others use them for Project Life or mixed media and altered art. It doesn’t matter, let your creativity guide you to the best use.

As for the details about the freebie, there are 25 elements varying from circle labels, rounded corner “inchie” tabs, journaling cards and date elements. As always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other types of memory keeping or the uses mentioned above.

This free printable has 25 elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file. The file size is approximately 300KB. They were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp. I designed most of the clip art and other elements.

How to Use this “Journaling Cards” Printable:

There are a few ways you can use this printable to create your journaling cards and elements and I have included a few tips in the following instructions:

The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Portrait or a Silhouette Cameo or other digital cutter( i.e. Cricut) you can cut out the journaling cards and journaling elements using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette.) There are several pdf to jpg converters online if your software just can’t open a pdf. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile and cutting it out a lot easier.
The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the journaling cards or journaling elements on 65 lb. white cardstock and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors or a slide paper trimmer to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.
