Lets Create: Vintage ephemera

Hello hello, I am just making some vintage prints look more genuine. Its just a little craft along but will help with the challenge I will be running in the Facebook Group. Would love you to join in and show what you create.
**PRINTING INFO*** If you are worried about putting thin paper through your printer, attach it to a sheet of copier paper, folding a masking tape over the top of the page that feeds through, there are lots of videos on printing on thinner papers. xx

Hi Tracie, this was great. I have a lot of ticket and postmark rubber stamps and I sometimes stamp them out on sugar paper (you can get a pack of A3 sized sheets from W H Smith, dead cheap and comes in a range of pastel colours, similar to construction paper but a bit more textured). I age the paper with some ink spray, a bit of splatter then stamp out tickets in different coloured inks. Once they're cut out they look just like the old tickets people used to get on the buses. I also stamp out rows of joined tickets and notch them in the corners with a hole punch. The sugar paper comes in flat sheets so you can halve an A3 sheet and then print on it as well.

Some great tips in your tutorial, Tracie. Thank you for passing those on. Have to say the Paperchase parchment is great to use. I’ve had a pad for a wee while now & love how authentic it makes my vintage documents look. C xx

It has been my dream to go to an estate sale and open a trunk to discover all kinds of vintage papers. I kind of feel like that happened today. Thank you for sharing all this information and showing how to use it. Fern

Check with your local newspaper for newsprint. My newspaper sells "end rolls" for $4.00 each. End rolls are those that they know will not last a full run of the next newspaper edition so they remove them from the presses and will often sell them at a very reasonable cost. My end rolls have yards and yards of newsprint on them so the actual cost is almost a steal. They can be used for so much including flower pressing, journals, tags, children's play time crayon drawing, etc. Also, the core of the end roll is solid and fabulous for all kinds of creating.

Hi Tracie, thank you so much for sharing how to create old ephemera from printables. I can’t afford to purchase genuine ephemera for my journals and rely on digitals. Printing on different types of papers really changes the look. Thank you for sharing your process💕 ...Kathleen

What an AWESOME Oh my So MUCH GOODNESS at one Love all the WONDERFUL ideas! Tracie, you are wonderful for sharing all of them with

[trishpope]

Wow, thanks for the tutorial and the tips. I've started really checking out a local thrift store, for older typewriter paper and older copy paper. They are different and I just love using them. We have a big college near one of our thrift shops and when the Professors retire alot of their left over paper goes to the shop. Your pages turned out so authentic looking.
