PRINTED 1950s Vintage Christmas Papers | Retro Junk Journal Paper Pack & Rice Paper Sets
PRINTED PAPERS - 1950s VINTAGE CHRISTMAS
Real printed paper, made to order and shipped flat. This collection is also sold as a digital download - this listing is for the printed version, so you can skip the printer and the ink.
24 papers in the muted mid-century style of old printed Christmas packaging - sixteen motif patterns and eight coordinating blenders, so the set actually works together. The blenders are what let you use the busy papers without the page turning to noise.
The palette is a soft 1950s one - aged cream, faded barn red, soft sage and pine, dusty blue and gold - NOT bright modern Christmas red and green.
CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT IT
Double-Sided Pack - 12 sheets. All 24 designs, printed on both sides of 12 sheets. The same collection for half the paper. Best for journaling, folding, pockets and page backgrounds, where only one side shows at a time.
Single-Sided Pack - 24 sheets. All 24 designs, one to a sheet, printed on one side. Best if you CUT - when you snip a piece out of a double-sided sheet, you lose whatever was on the back. If you are fussy-cutting motifs or making tags, take this one.
Rice Paper Set - 4 sheets, 8 x 10. Four designs on genuine rice paper, printed edge to edge, in your choice of six sets. A different material for a different job - see below.

ABOUT THE RICE PAPER
Printed on genuine rice paper - thin, soft and slightly fibrous, with visible fibers in the sheet. It goes down beautifully over wood, glass, metal, candles, fabric and furniture, and the edges disappear into the surface when you tear rather than cut. Printed edge to edge with pigment ink, which sits in the fibers and holds up well under decoupage medium once it is dry.
Tear or cut the piece you want, lay it on your surface, and brush decoupage medium over the top, working from the center outward. Use a light first coat and let it dry before you add more. Tearing gives a soft feathered edge that vanishes into the finish - most decoupage crafters tear rather than cut for exactly that reason.
PERFECT FOR
Junk journals, scrapbooking, card making, gift wrap, paper bags, envelopes, tags, pocket skins, collage and planners - and on rice paper, decoupaged tins, trays, boxes, candles and ornaments.
