Heirloom Garden Ephemera Printable Kit | Vintage Seed Packet, Botanical Journal Pages, Canning Labels | Junk Journal Digital Download JPG

There's something quietly beautiful about the way our great-grandmothers kept a garden — handwritten seed envelopes tucked into a tin, a worn journal tracking the first frost, labels tied to amber jars of preserved summer. The Heirloom Garden Collection brings that world back to your paper crafts.

This printable ephemera kit is designed for junk journal artists, scrapbookers, and mixed media crafters who love the look of authentic vintage Americana. Every piece is styled after genuine late 1800s–early 1900s seed catalogs, farm records, and cottage garden documents — aged, detailed, and ready to print.

✦ SEED PACKET FRONTS & BACKS (6 designs)

Period-accurate seed packet designs featuring heirloom varieties — Sweet Peas, Morning Glory, Larkspur, Hollyhock, Lemon Balm, and Calendula. Each design includes a decorative front with botanical illustration and a back with planting notes in an aged typeface. Print, fold, and use as envelopes, pockets, or decorative elements.

✦ CANNING & PANTRY LABELS (12 designs)

Aged label designs for preserved goods — jams, pickles, dried herbs, and root cellar staples. Oval, rectangular, and banner-style formats. Designed to look like they've been in a farmhouse pantry for a century.

✦ GARDEN JOURNAL PAGES (4 designs)

Lined and semi-lined pages styled as a cottage garden log — tracking planting dates, weather notes, harvest records, and garden sketches. Include ruled writing areas, decorative borders, and a faint grid corner for plot sketches.

✦ BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION CARDS (8 designs)

Cut-apart journaling cards featuring detailed botanical engravings of heirloom garden plants. Each card includes the plant's common and Latin name in period typography. Use as ATC cards, tags, collage elements, or pocket inserts.
