Why Did I Make These?

Honestly, sometimes I just want to escape to a little cottage in the woods (preferably with a cup of tea and my cat in my lap!) Since I can’t move there permanently, I made these Cottagecore patterned papers instead! I had so much fun designing cozy plaids, dainty florals, and old-fashioned prints that look straight out of Grandma’s sewing basket!

These papers are a mix of gentle pastels, soft yellows, calming greens, and the occasional romantic rose - the perfect combo for your next journaling or crafting session.

Why Are They Free?

Because I love sharing beautiful things with my readers - and I know how expensive crafting can get! Offering free printable papers is my way of helping you make something lovely without spending a dime. If you enjoy them, please share the link to this post with a friend (but not the digital files directly - see the license section below).

For this set I used a mix of my creativity, the Cottagecore Collage Pages and the Repper pattern maker.

How to Print Them Out

Each sheet is sized at 8.5”x11”, ready to print at home.
For best results:

  • Use Hammermill Premium paper for crisp color and texture.
  • Print with an Epson EcoTank printer (I use the ET-2800) for vibrant, long-lasting prints.
  • Set your printer to “Best” quality to bring out the tiny details in these patterns.

These print beautifully on regular paper, but if you want a more luxe, vintage feel, try printing them on textured cardstock or parchment paper.

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.
