What is in the pack

Vintage paper is usually brown. This set does the same job in blue: the patterns are the classic ones, script, newsprint, damask, but the colour is cool and light, so the pages suit winter, the sea, baby boys and anything that would look heavy on tan.

The designer made the papers for scrapbook layouts, greeting cards, junk journals and invitations, to use digitally or to print as many times as you need. The files are 12 × 12 inch JPEGs at 300 DPI.

Pale blue paper with floral silhouettes, with striped and fleur-de-lis sheets under it, on dark slate with eucalyptus branches and gold clips

Ideas for using these papers

  • Winter and seaside pages. Pale blue behind snow or beach photos.
  • Baby albums. Soft blue patterns without cartoon motifs.
  • Junk journals. The script and newsprint sheets as writing pages, the clock for the cover.
  • Cards and invitations. Damask or fleur-de-lis as the backing layer.
  • Envelope liners. A pale pattern inside a white envelope.

Colour palette of the pack

  • Pale teal#CEDCE0
  • White#EBF6F7
  • Light grey#C0CFD1
  • Grey#AEB3B4

The colours are sampled from the preview images of the designer. Screens and printers show them a little differently, so treat the codes as a starting point for matching cardstock, ink or digital elements.

How a 12 × 12 inch sheet prints at home

Paper“Fit to page”100% (“Actual size”)
LetterThe whole sheet at 67%: 8 × 8 inAn 8 × 10 1/2 in piece of the pattern at full scale
A4The whole sheet at 65%: 19.7 × 19.7 cmA 19.7 × 28.4 cm piece of the pattern at full scale

One sheet printed on Letter paper at 100% is enough for:

6 classic tags 2 medium journal pockets 1 envelope for an A2 card

Each link opens the Template Maker with that size ready to print on the back of the sheet.

Printing tips

  1. Open the file in any image viewer or drop it onto a blank page in a text editor, then choose Print.
  2. Choose “Fit to page” for a whole small sheet, or 100% to keep the pattern at its full scale.
  3. Pick matte paper or light cardstock and select the same paper type in the printer settings.
  4. Set print quality to “Best” or “High” and print one test page before you print the set.

Colours may look a little different on paper than on screen: that depends on the printer and the paper.
