About this file

Sixty pieces of pen-pal and junk-journal ephemera, ready to layer: 8 lace doilies (round eyelet, petal and fan edges, a heart, a square, an oval, a half-round pocket and a lace trim), 12 illustrated postage stamps with perforated edges (a lighthouse, a songbird, a sailboat, mountains, a rose, a butterfly, a love letter, a teacup, the moon and stars, a hot-air balloon, a strawberry and a cottage), 8 postmarks and cancellation marks, 6 tickets, 6 labels including an air mail label and an air mail border strip, 6 torn paper strips (lined, kraft, graph, dot grid, airmail and ledger), 5 tags, 4 paper clips and 5 washi tape strips.

The stamps are fictional: no country names and no values, just small pictures in soft colours. The postmarks and tickets carry only friendly generic words such as AIR MAIL, PAR AVION, WITH LOVE, HELLO and ADMIT ONE. The palette is soft and a little faded (cream, kraft, blush, butter yellow, sage and a cool patina blue), so pieces from every group sit well together.

Every piece is drawn at a real size, from a 12 x 36 mm paper clip to a 160 mm lace trim. You get each one as a transparent PNG at 300 ppi, so it prints at that size when printed at 100 %, and as an SVG with its size in millimetres, for cutting machines' print-then-cut mode, design apps or enlarging without loss. The postmarks print slightly see-through, so they can sit over the stamps. README.txt lists all sixty with their sizes in millimetres and inches.

Use them in junk journals, scrapbooks and pen-pal letters, on cards and envelopes, in digital journals and planners, and in collage and mixed-media work.
