Here’s a vintage style free printable telegram template for some fun papercrafting DIY projects.
By the request of a lovely tortagialla newsletter subscriber, I’ve taken my telegram printable design from years ago and transformed it into a full set of stationery printables to share here on the blog!
It was actually easy to do since the design already existed. I simply formatted it into a printable set of stationery including both lined and blank telegram paper designs. There’s also a matching envelope so you can stick with the whole theme.
I’ve also created both black and white as well as the full color vintage aged versions. I thought perhaps some people might like to print the full color design, but others might try to age it themselves. Have you ever tried tea staining? It’s super fun! Or try coffee and get the kids to help out, too.
To get the telegram printables just choose the color and paper size of your choice below and download the printable PDF file. You can print whichever pages you would like to use.

I hope you enjoy and please let me know or tag me @tortagialla on social media if you like the design.
As I was editing and working in Illustrator, looking at my telegram design from many many years ago, I realize that it is super simple. If I created the design today, I would definitely use different font and add more details. Maybe I’ll have to create another updated version?

From my digital design vault, here are a set of cute photo frame downloads to use with your photos and scrapbooking. I definitely had instagram on my mind when I created these, because suddenly everyday photo taking was expanded and considered normal across the board. It’s not just scrapbookers, but everyday we all have the ability to document our lives, since snapping a photo with our phones is so easy.
Now, it’s time to actually put those photos to use and print them out or put them together in an album. With a variety of photo frames to choose from, you can use my photo frame love designs on top of your own 4×6 photos! They make a great decoration and accent. You get high quality PNG files, so they are also great for printing and use as journaling cards or decoration for planners and art journaling.

If you like vintage, then you’ll definitely enjoy using these vintage number ticket, paper and stamp designs. With these high quality PNG files, you can print them, use them in digital work and/or combine them together and create your own vintage paper designs.
For many different reasons, I have a bunch of design files stored on a hard drive, rather than posted online for download. They might be old products, unfinished work or extras from other projects. These set of vintage goodies are one of those designs that I have decided to share here on the blog for free – just download below!

When Thanksgiving rolls around each year, I’m always reminded to give thanks for all that I have. I know we should be grateful every single day of our lives, but life gets busy and it’s easy to overlook as we go through the hustle and bustle of daily life. That’s why I believe a gratitude practice is so important! However, I used to just list a few things as my gratitude journaling for the day or week. Over time this was really repetitive and didn’t seem to sink in very much.
For my list lovers out there, I realize it’s fun to make lists and easier to do so, but I have realized that the true value of practicing gratitude lies in the details – the “journaling” part of things.
I decided to design a gratitude stationery paper to help us all write a bit more detail when it comes to journaling our gratitude. The idea is to not only write “what” you are grateful for… but also the “whys.” I learned this from Marie Forleo’s video here and I think it’s a powerful way to really sink into the idea of gratitude.

When I decided to design a printable for Thanksgiving, I started with an autumn color themed printable, but I realized that it was a bit too classic and available already. Instead, this black and white printable is printer-friendly and great for gratitude journaling as well as letterwriting in general. It’s a win-win!

No matter how much planning I do, there are times when everything seems to converge and explode chaos into my life. Maybe this happens more often than I want to admit… but I know that a brain dump really helps to alleviate the stress. With a million things I must do for the kids, for work, for business, for myself dare I say – my brain just goes to overload. The act of writing all the things in my head, down on paper is always the first step to clarity for me.
So I decided to create a stationery printable that makes the process a bit more fun and definitely prettier than plain white copy paper. It’s all about getting more productive with clear head. Once I get it all out, then I can prioritize, organize and file properly. But first – brain dump! Download the get productive stationery paper printable PDF in your preferred paper size below.

I used my classic to-do girl illustration for this lined stationery paper. The lines are wide-ruled, because I like having room to write things out and not have it squished all together. If you need more lines, just print more paper. That’s the beauty of printables! This design also doubles as pretty stationery paper as well, so you can also send some snail mail to friend. I can always use some pretty stationery paper!
