Lots of people don’t get why we cut things up or repurpose old paper, but it’s all about giving discarded pieces a brand new story. Just pulled together a fresh batch of Regency Vintage Ephemera Packs that include old book pages, vintage cards, stationary, delicate florals, fussy cut embellishments, a hand poured wax seal, vintage paperdoll outfit, & more! Perfect for junk journals, scrapbooking, paper crafts and anyone who loves making magic out of vintage ephemera.
What will you create?

Send reinforcements...I've created a
crafting battlefield! I know future me will thank me...that is if I can make it to the end without giving up. 😆
What's your go-to way to organize your craft supplies?

Stop scrolling & make something! You don't need fancy techniques, a master plan, or any special supplies. Sometimes the absolute best thing you can do for your restless brain is to just make a mess, play with paper, and create purely for the joy of it.
​Put on some good tunes, rip some paper, and see where it takes you. What are you making just for fun today?

Turns out one person’s "trash" is everyone else’s favorite treasure. 🫶 Just dropped a brand new batch of Regency Vintage Ephemera Packs—complete with florals, pastels, a vintage paper doll outfit, book pages, playing cards, a handmade wax seal, and yes... the handmade inspirational quote card that started it all. Because we don't waste good inspiration around here. Grab these while you can! Link in comments. 💕

Don't toss those tiny scraps! They're
perfect for making custom inspiration
cards. A little glue, a little fabric
confetti, some motivational stickers
and a whole lot of joy!
I love inspirational quote stickers! I add
them to cards, journal pages
collages, and even my planner for a
little positive reminder.

Are you a fellow scrap saver? What's your go to scrap buster project? Personally, I love mixing fabric & paper.

Many years ago, I participated in The Great Corset Challenge, where you took a designer's corset design & made it in your own style. I made mine out of vintage ephemera, instead of fabric! The pieces were cut and layered using advertisements from an early 1900's Ladies Home Journal Magazine that was falling apart.
Orginially this was a wall hanging that was getting banged up over the years. I cut it down to fit in my art book to preserve it but didn't love the chalk pastel background. It was already sealed so I used an acrylic paint marker (they'll work on any medium) to update it! Easy peasy and I love the contrast of styles.
Have you ever had a project that didn't turn out as you hoped but you transformed it into something else?

Some of these vintage cards date back to the 1940s. Many were written in, stained, and falling apart—but that doesn't mean they’re useless.
​Here’s how I salvage, process, and turn trash into treasure:
​I reuse what can be saved whole and preserve any meaningful inscriptions.
​For the damaged and age-spotted cards, I fussy cut them to rescue all those beautiful illustrations and cute details for collage work.
​Finally, I sort everything by season and theme for future projects or to include in themed junk journal kits.

This vintage 1960s paint book took on some water damage, but instead of tossing it, I'm rescuing every beautiful piece of art left behind. Save what you can, use it differently, and stash it away for your next creative project!

The best kind of chaos 🌸 My table is completely covered in florals, vintage cut outs, and paperdolls today. This is my favorite part of the process—just pulling items together by theme and color and seeing where it takes me. Trust me, it’s all coming together into something special for the shop! New ephemera packs are on the way.
​Do you like to hoard your favorite ephemera pieces, or do you use them right away? 👇
