The Vintage Explorer: Ephemera & Fussy Cuts for Junk Journaling, Scrapbooking, Card Making & Paper Crafts
Salvaged from the edges of the map.
This isn’t just a book of images; it’s a treasury of paper adventure. Built for makers who find inspiration in the worn and the tattered, this compendium offers a curated kit of salvaged fragments. Whether you are a seasoned journaler or a paper-crafting enthusiast, these high-detail artifacts are ready to be cut, torn, and layered, bringing the grit and wonder of early expeditions to your creative world.
Inside, you will find dozens of sheets of unique ephemera, spanning three distinct thematic voyages:
Expedition Africa: Sun-baked maps of the Sahara, Egyptian archaeological finds, desert flora, and safari gear.
Antarctica: Heroic-age polar logs, penguin sketches, icy vistas, and the tools of survival.
The Sea Voyage: Nautical charts, deep-sea legends, Victorian diving bells, and maritime dispatches.
Your creative kit includes:
Vintage maps and ledgers: Authentic-style charts and faded manifest sheets, perfect for backgrounds or folding into your journal signatures.
Postcards and envelopes: Each section includes matching front and back images. You can glue them together for a sturdy, authentic feel or use them separately as unique journaling surfaces.
Fussy cut illustrations: Meticulously rendered sketches of animals, ships, and explorer gear in classic 19th-century engraving styles.
Labels, tags, and tickets: Rugged shipping tags, apothecary-style labels, and official expedition permits with space for your own notes.
Washi tape strips: Long horizontal strips of repeating nautical patterns and coordinates to anchor your page layouts.
Journaling cards: Beautifully framed cards on aged paper textures, ideal for tuck-spots, pockets, or unique card fronts.
Crafted with the maker in mind:
Premium color print: printed on high-quality 100gsm paper
Single-sided for easy use: All content is printed on one side, so you never have to choose between two images.
Bonus textures on every reverse: The back of every page features a subtly beautiful, aged parchment texture -they are perfect for tearing into small scraps, creating collage clusters, or adding a vintage back to your cutouts.
Whether you are building a travelogue, an altered book, or a botanical study, let these salvaged fragments fuel your next creative adventure.
