Vintage Kitchen Ephemera Collection: Hand-Picked Illustrations and Clipart, Handwritten Recipe Clips, and Pantry Labels for Junk Journaling and Paper Crafts
There is something special about the look of an old kitchen - the hand-drawn fruit on a jam jar, the ink-stained recipe cards, and the cozy feel of a red gingham tablecloth. This book brings those elements directly to your craft table.
We’ve gathered dozens of pieces of vintage ephemera into one place, ranging from elegant Victorian-era tea sets to the cheerful, rustic vibe of a country pantry. It is designed specifically for junk journalers and paper crafters who love the art of "fussy-cutting" and building layered, tactile stories.
Inside this collection, you’ll find:
Beautiful Illustrations for Fussy Cutting: A wide variety of hand-picked, high-quality clipart images. These are crisp and clear, specifically chosen to be easy to cut out and layered into your designs.
Handwritten Recipes & Notes: Authentic-looking recipe clips and ink-stained notes with beautiful old-fashioned cursive. These add that personal, "found-in-a-trunk" feel to your pages.
Full-Page "Hero" Collages: Beautifully composed full-page art pieces that can serve as a primary focal point, a background for a signature, or even a cover for a small insert.
Accents & Labels: Small pantry labels, apothecary jars, and "inchie" squares to tuck into pockets.
Page Dividers: Long horizontal and vertical strips of food and botanicals, perfect for creating "washi-style" borders.
Coordinating Backgrounds: Full-page textures including aged ledger paper, gingham, and antique kitchen wallpapers.
To make it as useful as possible, we’ve kept every page single-sided. You’ll never have to choose between two images you love. The back of each sheet features a subtle, coffee-stained paper texture, so your cut-outs look finished even if the back is visible in a flip-out or pocket.
Simple, nostalgic, and ready to be cut up. We hope these scraps find a perfect home in your next project.
