Lets Create: Vintage ephemera

[@carolmikolj5134]

Hi Tracie, this was great. I have a lot of ticket and postmark rubber stamps and I sometimes stamp them out on sugar paper (you can get a pack of A3 sized sheets from W H Smith, dead cheap and comes in a range of pastel colours, similar to construction paper but a bit more textured). I age the paper with some ink spray, a bit of splatter then stamp out tickets in different coloured inks. Once they're cut out they look just like the old tickets people used to get on the buses. I also stamp out rows of joined tickets and notch them in the corners with a hole punch. The sugar paper comes in flat sheets so you can halve an A3 sheet and then print on it as well.

[@bettylongshore9594]

What an AWESOME video!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!!!! So MUCH GOODNESS at one time!!!!! Love all the WONDERFUL ideas! Tracie, you are wonderful for sharing all of them with us!!!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks so much!!

[@oakhousejournals]

Some great tips in your tutorial, Tracie. Thank you for passing those on. Have to say the Paperchase parchment is great to use. I’ve had a pad for a wee while now & love how authentic it makes my vintage documents look. C xx

[@dawnc8755]

Fantastic ideas. Love how you used the different paper weights, different colors of vintage inks and lovely old stamps. Oh, and those tickets are incredible! Thanks for sharing!!

[@barbaracheatham692]

Great ideas. I have a box of onion skin I bought at an estate sale and a big flat of newsprint paper. Guess what I’ll be doing. TFS

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sounds great!

[@trishpope601]

Wow, thanks for the tutorial and the tips. I've started really checking out a local thrift store, for older typewriter paper and older copy paper. They are different and I just love using them. We have a big college near one of our thrift shops and when the Professors retire alot of their left over paper goes to the shop. Your pages turned out so authentic looking.

[@anntaylor7781]

This was a very informative video and I appreciate the suggestions about different types of papers to print on. TFS

[@ronaldagregory4831]

Loved the look of the Strathmore tracing paper, just HAD to have it. Already have some newsprint paper that I wasn't sure what to use it for (daughter bought it for me for Christmas as she thought it might be something I could use) and now I know what to do with it. Thank you for your ideas

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wonderful!

[@littleskipperdaycare]

It has been my dream to go to an estate sale and open a trunk to discover all kinds of vintage papers. I kind of feel like that happened today. Thank you for sharing all this information and showing how to use it. Fern

[@lori88ish]

This was fabulous, you really do make the ephemera look so real and aged.TFS Hugs and Smiles

[@pippipants]

Always a pleasure to spend time with you :) Lots of handy tips Tfs x

[@Solo3198-]

Great information! Thank you so much for sharing all the papers and ideas for making things look more vintage!

[@laurawalton198]

Thanks for this video, I love it! Also I’ve been trying to find something that would punch my tickets that would look vintage and your paper stapler idea is brilliant!!! TFS

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Love all these ideas for making the printed receipts look old and aged. Thank you!

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Tracie this is a brilliant video! I love vintage ephemera and I I really love making it look old! I enjoyed this video and I printed off the free pieces from the FB group. Thank you so much for those. I have your tickets kit to play with too! I already started aging them… so fun and fab! Thank you so much for this idea! I will post in the FB group challenge when I am done. 😊😊😊

[@TracieFoxCreative]

You are so welcome!

[@lindahutchings5394]

Enjoyed the video, wonderful look for ephemera.

[@KathleenSundby]

Hi Tracie, thank you so much for sharing how to create old ephemera from printables. I can’t afford to purchase genuine ephemera for my journals and rely on digitals. Printing on different types of papers really changes the look. Thank you for sharing your process💕 ...Kathleen

[@graceng5525]

How lovely, Tracie. In the USA we get brown paper from Amazon, not cream like yours. I will have to look for alternatives! Fun tutorial!

[@kriscook2423]

I use packing paper from Walmart or a hardware store. I have to cut it down for my printer but it's like 5 dollars for a 50 sheet pack.

[@GloriaSkipper]

Have I told you lately how awesome you are and how much I appreciate you! Just love that you show how to do this and how to acquire freebies! I grew up without luxury and I know this has to mean so much to so many! Thank you Tracie Fox!🫶🏼

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh thank you so much Gloria, I would love to make everything free, how wonderful that would be! I hope you continue to grab the freebies from everywhere, we offer them in several places. HUGS x

One word .... amazing!!!! Love all the tips. Never apologize for being too long! Love listening to you!! 👍🏽

[@michellenowacki8673]

Loved this video, lots of handy tips. For printing tickets I’ve used kids paper, not sure if they call it sugar paper. The old fashioned scrapbook for kids. Thanks Tracie x

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Great idea!!

[@MissGroves]

I also use the old kids sugar paper for tickets and raffle tickets printing and stamping

[@careyclapp8357]

I had to look up "sugar paper" in the States it's called construction paper, made for kids, and is very inexpensive. Great idea!

[@nancycarr2308]

Thanks, Tracy. This was so very informative. I love the use of various papers for printing ephemera.

[@patriciaperry2053]

Great tips! Can’t wait to do this. I use washi tape to adhere tracing paper onto printer paper. Can reuse many times. (An ARTYmaze tip) I’m excited to try it with the other papers you showed us. Thx!

[@sandrabeckerman4448]

Not too long at all! I've recently found a kitchen cupboard kind of cabinet to put next to my printer and it's allowed me to bring all my thrifted paper from the garage and organized by type. Your video will be a big help when I have to choose which paper to print on.

[@geniesinanycasejournals]

I've only just discovered you, Tracie and you are amazing.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Hello, welcome and thank you :-D xx

[@cindyljamison5571]

A fun way to play with paper! Enjoyed your video. Thank you! Now to find some paper....😁

[@ruthsonger2178]

Check with your local newspaper for newsprint. My newspaper sells "end rolls" for $4.00 each. End rolls are those that they know will not last a full run of the next newspaper edition so they remove them from the presses and will often sell them at a very reasonable cost. My end rolls have yards and yards of newsprint on them so the actual cost is almost a steal. They can be used for so much including flower pressing, journals, tags, children's play time crayon drawing, etc. Also, the core of the end roll is solid and fabulous for all kinds of creating.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

WOW, wall paper lining would be good too :-D x

[@Bezjc1936]

Really enjoyed watching this. Lots of great tips. Off to find some newsprint now. Thank you.

[@jilldiaz7546]

Love all the tips, as usual, these are great ideas especially the 2 colors of ink. I just bought one of those huge glue sticks and I love it... now I'll never run out in the middle of the night!

Absolutely perfect tutorial!! I can’t wait to have fun trying these ideas out. Since we moved across the US at the first of the year, we have a ton of whitish packing paper. It would need to be trimmed to size, though.

I'm in! Thanks again for sharing this! I'm nervous about my printer handling the thin papers but I'll try! Great ideas!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Dont do it if you are worried. Mine has never had an issue. You can always use masking tape to hold thinner paper onto a sheet of copier paper and make sure it wont lift, fold it over the top, if that make sense. Should have mentioned this in the video x

[@jeanmiskimon4018]

Great results, I love the tickets on the handmade paper (which I have a drawer full of!) Great minds think alike also! Though not to this extent, I have spent a couple of hours last weekend grungying/vintaging up printed ephemera pieces with just folding/creasing and inking!! (and a few done with Stainz by Patty Pockets as well) I gave in and bought some vintage style printer papers the other day too but haven't used them yet!!! xx

[@yvonnedirckx7526]

Great video 😍

[@kathrynbooth1094]

They look amazing by the way xx

[@annettedepete4314]

Thank you for such great info. 😍🌴

[@differenttakethanmost]

My take: I would have also gently “bent” the paper around that paperclip on the first one (they sort of imbed themselves into the paper when they’re there forever) and I would ever so lightly ink that area too, and add a little whisper of ink on the crinkles you created... it’s all in the (tiny!!) details - thanks for the fantastic vids 👍🏼🤗😎

[@fluffyspit]

I was thinking the same thing.x

[@TheJanestarling]

Personally I could (& have) watch your videos for hours! I lol'd at your 'tiny' glue stick 🤣 I jumped like a good 'un when you realised your mistake with the glue on the envelope. Frightened the life out of me 😂 We had a couple of claps of thunder Thursday night, & it rained a bit today (Friday), I'm just glad it's cooled down a little, I even had cold feet earlier which made me very happy!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

We have still not had the storm we have been promised for over a week. I am not looking at the weather forecast any more. lol

Don't know if you have a u haul store in your area, but you can buy a fairly large box of the "news paper" print paper for a very reasonable price. It is used for wrapping your things to pack. Vie used it for many different things. It lasts forever.

[@SueF51]

Just a word of warning to others...I loved this so I bought a pad of artist grade newsprint at Hobby Lobby, loaded it in the printer and started it up. I knew from the awful sound that this was a paper jam like no other. It just totally chewed up the paper. I managed to gently get all the paper out but can’t get the back panel in, though I’ve never had any trouble replacing it before. I’ll have to have my son look at it. Some printers may be able to handle such thin paper as this, but apparently my hp8710 cannot. Try at your own risk.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I have added printing info to the description but Newsprint here is not too thin, the tracing paper is however. There are ways to print on thinner papers. Sorry you had an issue.

[@cindyridinger8661]

Lovely.

[@lucy7b]

Fabulous thanks.

[@caroleveseaman6210]

Always love your video's. Never too long quick question x 2. I noticed your glue bottle which looks like a cake decorating bottle which I have too but mine doesn't have a lid like yours, do tell please and 2nd the link for the stapleless punch isn't working x I'm heading out to the stationers to spend money and it's all your fault hehe. Can't wait

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Hi there, The glue bottle and lid was a gift from Lorrell but it is a sugar bell lid. Sorry we cannot get them in the UK. Sorry also the link is no longer working as we are not promoting Amazon right now, it was all a bit complicated but you can search Amazon x

[@nameissturdy1390]

I thought i needed a small glue stick. Oh hell no girl-I need the glue stump. I mean just run those tiny pieces across the top and it’s covered. What about the teeny tiny antennas of butterflies? No problem! I’m sorry to keep going on about it but it’s one of things you never knew you needed (ok want.) And your tips and ideas were very helpful. Thank you for the video.

[@keves11]

Hello and thanks for this video.. it's been great to watch. With regards to two items in this video, what brand and size is of the glue stick that you're using? also in your stamp collection book.. was wondering where did you find all those used stamps that are in the the book? Thx so much

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I got them from a local vintage shop huni x

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Hello there. Just wondering since I'm in the States we can possibly get different products. Can you tell me what type of stapless stapler (the brand) that you use and can no longer get over there? I'd like to try to find something comparable here. Thanks, love to watch all you come up with. Well I went back and looked and it appears to be a Paperlok. I'll go and look for that and see what I come up with. Also, do you attach your tracing paper to anything or run it directly through the printer? I know, so many questions. :-)
