Hello peeps!   Today, I’m providing  my latest set of vintage ephemera journaling papers printables. Working with this color theme was a challenge, purple is a lovely color (at least I think so) but can be overwhelming in large amounts: so, I provided neutrals, and green item to tune the color down.   You actually have a range of purple with a periwinkle color (with more blue in the iris) to a gorgeous red violet which are included in the color palette photo below.  Since these are bold colors, I  thought they might work with other digital papers or scrapbook pages you might have as filler papers or as a center page.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily and all the layering and color adjustments involved.    I also designed the tassel  repeat  and french postage marks patterns as well from actual vintage images.   

Note:   The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging at the largest 4 MB .  Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have and the type of printer paper that you use. As a general rule, the higher the dpi capability of your printer; the better your results.

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.

Pale Violet Iris Design Inspiration

I hope this freebie  inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.  I have been watching a lot of junk journaling videos on Youtube to get an idea on what types of papers might interest you and other junk journalers.  This set was inspired by a gorgeous wallpaper image source, I recently acquired.  You will see more of these designs in the future.

 I   am always excited to develop new ideas for  tags  and now papers with a vintage ephemera theme for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses.  

If you are not into junk or art journaling, you can wait for the add ons follow up post  in order to  pop these into the pockets of A5 planners or Traveler’s Notebooks if you enjoy a vintage aesthetic, as I do.  Especially if  you don’t want to be overwhelmed with the large files and large scale of the patterns.

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from  vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I have designed), vintage checks, vintage wallpaper,  papers that I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! 

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.

About the Pale Violet Iris Journaling Papers Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 junk journaling pages in this blog post printables offer.    You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping.  

This free printable has four journaling pages at 8.5″ by 11″, stay tuned for the add-ons I will be posting in the near future.   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.

The materials I used were vintage  ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality and high resolution 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, Southmore 25% Cotton paper  or white sticker paper or fabric paper, depending on your final use.

*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 of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and  it gives the paper a subtle, aged and worn look.  With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color that 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 also resize the printables easily  in a basic Powerpoint program, Windows or MAC.

How to Use this Pale Violet Iris  Journaling  Papers Printable

  • Print and cut out the papers and use them as pages  for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. 
  • Resize and create tags or pockets for your journals or planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.

Free Vintage Lavender Botanical Bookmarks Printable

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.
  • Laminating machine, if you own one.
  • Hole Punch
  • Ribbon or contrasting ribbon

Color Brights Journaling Elements – Free Printable

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, 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Thank you for all your Pinterest and Social Media pins…
