Downloads these FREE Vintage Airmail Digital Paper Printables for happy mail, journaling and papercrafting!
So I’ve designed many airmail inspired designs here on the blog – like this airmail stationery set – but I actually have never created digital papers! Imagine that! So I decided it was time to design some papers that match the whole look and feel of vintage airmail papers. I’m using the classic motifs and red and blue stripes to create some designs that would be fun to use in happy mail spreads as well as in journaling pages.
There’s a classic stripe design which makes a great background for any kind of papercrafting. Then I have the airmail card sort of tiled up on a paper design, which can be used as a background or cut it up to use as cards for embellishment and deco. Finally there’s the paper using the par avion airmail with airplane motif. I think it’s a cute sticker stamp design.
What will you use these airmail paper designs for? You next pen pal letter or just having some fun with an art journaling page? I’m going to journal for sure, but since these are printables, I know I can always print out another copy for a new project as well. I definitely love the versatility and budget-friendly aspect of printables. Enjoy!

Love the vintage look and fear the blank page? Use these free printable vintage journal pages to give your work a headstart in looking and feeling vintage!
In thinking about my journaling process, I realize that I’ve been falling in love with junk journaling. There’s just something so easy and low pressure about it. I totally love this approach to journaling in general. Sometimes you write, sometimes you glue papers around. Whatever and anything goes! Just get creative.
So I decided to make myself a vintage paper to print as the pages of a new junk journal… because the slight texture is somehow more inviting than blank pages.
I don’t always have access to real vintage papers and often times, they are too delicate to use. If you use inks or other media, the tissue like nature of real vintage papers might not work. That’s why I just created a plain and simple vintage paper to print out.
With free printable vintage journal pages, you can make as many copies are you need and keep using the same design for an entire journal to keep things consistent. You can even print on both sides to make all the pages seamless.
This design is inspired by a vintage looking, shabby-chic ledger paper. It’s great to use as a neutral background, but the lines make it easy for journaling directly on the paper, without your lines of text getting too wobbly. I hope you enjoy this free printable and find it useful for your art journaling.

Looking for free printable vintage valentine cards that aren’t creepy or cringey for modern day times? Download these updated designs!
Recently I came across this article of Sexist Vintage Valentine’s on Buzzfeed and it reminded me how the look of vintage valentine’s are cute – but they are often cringey and embarassing! I suppose they reflect the times, but the sentiments are usually not appropriate and certainly not what I want to say to my friends and loved ones.
So I thought it would be fun to riff off the vintage vibe and just design my own valentine cards. These new designs are definitely modern vintage, but they still have that old world paper feel. Now with a much more straightforward sentiment, I think these printable valentines would be great for your significant others as well as friends.
Just send them a note of love and care… especially during difficult times, because it’s nice to hear from friends and know they care. Download and print these at home, however many copies you need to send out. There are two different designs that can be printed trimmed and folded into traditional cards.

For personal use, feel free to download the PDF that contains both card designs for printing. Just click the link below and save to your computer.
