About the Free Vintage Easter Ephemera Printables
To help you kickstart your Easter-themed journaling, I’ve created three free vintage Easter ephemera sheets featuring charming Victorian postcards, adorable chicks, bunnies, and nostalgic spring imagery. These are perfect for junk journaling, card-making, or any mixed media project.
Each sheet includes vintage Easter illustrations in two sizes:
Larger Postcard-Sized Images (3.5 x 5 inches): Ideal for focal points or backgrounds on journal pages or larger crafting projects. There are two different sheets in this size.
Smaller Images (3.5 x 2 inches): Perfect for accents, layering, or creating little tags for gifts and journaling.
