At a Glance
Free printable collage sheet filled with vintage tickets, labels, and a certificate
Perfect for layering, clustering, and adding a bit of history to journal pages
Designed for junk journaling, mixed media collage, scrapbooking, and altered books
There’s something deeply satisfying about layering old paper, especially when that paper carries a trace of history. This free printable collage sheet offers a beautifully worn collection of vintage paper ephemera, including ticket stubs, labels, and a stock certificate image. Whether you're drawn to soft neutrals or timeworn typography, these pieces help you build pages that feel aged, storied, and grounded in the past.
This printable is a go-to addition for anyone working in junk journaling, mixed media, or any art form that calls for visual texture and narrative depth.
A Collection of Fragments
What you’ll find on this sheet is an assortment of ephemera. Objects once useful, now repurposed for art. There’s a pair of admission tickets, a shipping label with bold numerals, a ledger slip, and a certificate that looks as though it’s just been pulled from a long-forgotten drawer.
Each piece is distinct but designed to work together, giving you a flexible palette for building journal pages, collage clusters, or decorative layers. They’re easy to fussy-cut, easy to layer, and perfectly imperfect in their original state.
Where Can You Use These Printables?
Here are just a few ways crafters and journalers might bring these scraps to life:
Add layers behind focal images in vintage-inspired junk journals
Use the stock certificate fragment as a title card or grounding element
Build ephemera clusters with the tickets and labels at the center
Combine with floral or handwritten printables for visual contrast
Include in travel spreads, memory books, or correspondence-themed pages
You can also print on different materials. Try cream cardstock for durability, or vellum to create soft, translucent effects.
Style Meets Function
Ephemera like this doesn’t just fill space. It brings tone and atmosphere. A crooked number, a faded ink line, or a small tear can suggest time passing, memories fading, or stories only partially told. For journalers who love layering with intention, these pieces become more than just decoration. They become anchors for meaning.
And because they don’t depict people or places specifically, they’re incredibly adaptable. You can use them in bold layouts or quiet spreads, paired with bright florals or muted handwriting. They’re the kind of versatile elements every mixed-media maker reaches for again and again.
