Why Did I Make These?
Okay so let me tell you about my house real quick...
We have three dogs and one cat. There's Wally Beagle - yes, his full government name is Wally Beagle and I will not be taking questions - Max the tiny dog, who has absolutely no idea he is tiny, and Suki the big girl, who is majestic and knows it! Oh and there's kitty too but this post is about dogs so the cat will have to wait until next week!
These pages were also made for every single one of you who has ever said "I wish there was more pet-themed junk journal stuff out there." Consider this my love letter to dog moms, dog dads, and everyone in between who thinks their pup deserves to be immortalized in a spread.
For this set I used The Graphics Fairy and my own creativity!
Why Are They Free?
Honestly? Because I believe beautiful things should be accessible to everyone, and I love building a community of crafters who are just as obsessed with paper and ephemera as I am. When you download these pages and make something wonderful with them, that brings me SO much joy - even if I never see it (though please share it, I will absolutely lose my mind over your projects !)
The best ways you can support Artsy Fartsy Life are totally free too - share this post with a crafty friend, save it to Pinterest, or just leave a comment and tell me about YOUR pets. Seriously. I want to hear all about them.
🖨️ How to Print Them Out
Getting the best results from your vintage dog pages is super easy - here are my go-to tips!
Paper: I recommend printing on cardstock (65 lb or 80 lb) for the most satisfying, sturdy result. If you want a softer, more photo-like finish, matte photo paper also works beautifully with the warm tones in these sheets.
Printer Settings: Set your printer to "Actual Size" or 100% scale - do NOT let it auto-fit or scale to margins, or you'll lose those beautiful edges. Select "Best" or "High Quality" print mode for the richest color payoff.
Cutting: A paper trimmer gives you the cleanest straight cuts, but scissors work just fine too! For a more authentically aged look, try tearing the edges gently against a ruler instead of cutting - it gives that beautifully worn ephemera feel.
Distressing: Want to take the vintage factor up a notch? Run an ink blending tool or a brown/black ink pad lightly along the edges of each page after cutting. It makes everything look like it came straight out of a Victorian cabinet. Chef's kiss!
Lamination: A few of these pages would make stunning laminated bookmarks or journal covers - just a thought!
