Welcome, cozy crafter! If you love scrapbooking, junk journaling, or layering gorgeous textures in your creative projects, you’re going to adore this brand new freebie set. These full-page faux fabric backgrounds are designed with a cool winter palette - think frosty blues, snowy whites, and classic textures like flannel, knit, and brushed fabric.
They’re perfect for scrapbooking, art journaling, card making, and even digital crafting. And the best part? You can mix and match them effortlessly thanks to the soft, complementary color palette.
All Free Printables in One Place
If this is your first time here, welcome! I’ve built up quite the collection of totally free printables, all in one easy-to-browse spot. You can find this full set and tons more goodies over in the Free Printables Library!
- Blue Flannel Plaid Background - This cozy faux-flannel texture gives all the classic cabin vibes. Perfect for winter-themed layouts, masculine projects, or layering behind vintage tags and ephemera.
- Whimsical Winter Pattern – Sweaters, Mittens, and Gifts - A playful winter pattern with hand-drawn hats, sweaters, mugs, and more! Ideal for festive journal pages, holiday wrapping accents, or December Daily spreads.
- Frosty Vertical Brush Strokes - This painted stripe pattern looks like it was brushed right onto canvas - snowy and serene. Use it as a background for journaling cards, titles, or art journaling layers.
- Watercolor Snowy Forest - Dreamy and atmospheric, this soft blue woodland scene feels like stepping into a snowy forest at dawn. Beautiful as a full-page layout or trimmed into scenic journaling spots.
- Classic Blue Polka Dot - Timeless and versatile, this blue and white polka dot printable brings a retro feel with a modern winter twist. Great for layering with bold elements or using as a neutral winter base.
Why Did I Make These?
I love having themed paper collections - especially for winter! But here’s the thing: not every background has to shout “holiday.” Sometimes you just want a set of cozy, color-coordinated pages that flow together without overwhelming your layout.
That’s what inspired this set. These faux fabric backgrounds work beautifully together - from sweater weather prints to subtle polka dots and painted stripes. They’re perfect for borders, backdrops, layering, or even as standalone journal pages.
If you’re into building your stash by color palette (especially for seasonal journaling), you’ll definitely want to pair this with my Cozy & Cool background collection too!
Why Are They Free?
I believe creativity shouldn’t be expensive. Whether you're crafting for self-care, memory keeping, or just the joy of it - I want you to have beautiful tools at your fingertips. That’s why I share these printables for free - so you can make something magical without breaking the bank!
For this set I used my own design and images from Creative Fabrica!
How to Print Them Out
These pages are designed as full-page backgrounds, so you can print them at home on:
- Matte photo paper (for vivid color)
- White cardstock (for durability)
- Textured paper (to mimic real fabric even more!)
Make sure your print settings are set to “actual size” or “borderless” if your printer supports full-bleed printing - that way you get every inch of color!
Commercial License for Printing
There is a commercial license for these freebies as long as you print them out first! Feel free to use them in junk journals for sale on Etsy, use them in scrapbook pages for sale at a craft fair or even sell the sheets whole. There is no license to distribute these digitally.
