Free Printable – Antique Papers

September 9, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

If you love working with vintage-style digital papers, this Antique Catalog printable paper pack is a beautiful resource to add to your creative stash. These classic backgrounds are created from authentic scans of antique catalogs, newspapers, and old magazines, giving each page a perfectly aged, timeworn look that’s hard to replicate.

The collection is ideal for a wide range of creative projects including scrapbooking, junk journals, decoupage, mixed media art, card making, and even digital design or web backgrounds. They’re also especially popular for wedding stationery, baby shower decor, and heritage-inspired craft projects where you want that old-world charm.

Each digital paper is generously sized at 12 x 12 inches (30.5 x 30.5 cm) with a high-quality 300 dpi resolution, making them suitable for both home printing and professional use. The papers are not seamless, but they work beautifully as full-page backgrounds, layered elements, or trimmed down into tags, pockets, and embellishments.

What’s included in this free download:

  • 18 antique-style digital papers 
  • JPEG file format 
  • Size: 12” x 12” (3600 x 3600 pixels) 
  • Resolution: 300 dpi for crisp, clear printing

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
