Vintage Recipe Card "Junk Journal on a Ring" (aka Tag Flip!)

Hey friend! Thank you for checking out this little project I like to call a "junk journal on a ring" because it is basically a deconstructed junk journal!
This flip style "journal" can be used just like a junk journal to record memories (you can add photos to it, too!), gather memorabilia, showcase fun ephemera, etc!
It makes for great gift, too! This vintage recipe journal on a ring could be given as a housewarming gift or wedding shower gift--especially with a small trinket attached liked measuring spoons!
Digital printables used in this project are the Retro Food Box Tops and Printable Kitchen Ephemera sets from KB and Friends on Etsy! etsy.com/shop/...
Thank you for watching!! xoxo Amy :)

Adorable concept for gifting to a favorite cook. I plan to do one for a quilter.

Oh, that is a great idea!! Thank you for sharing! 🤗❤❤❤

I love this idea! I have my mom's old recipe card box and cookbooks and I think I'll make a memory with her old recipes!

Lol - The blank recipe cards you called vintage were used at my wedding shower 30 years ago. I just love this idea. Have a family wedding this year and wasn't sure what to give them.

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Haha! It doesn't seem like 30 years should be called vintage, Sharon!! Thank you for watching!! 🤗❤💛💙

[@madilynbeaner7484]

I just had to make a Simplicity Pattern journal for my twin sister and me because my Aunt Pearl worked at a Simplicity Factory in Niles, Michigan. We would go visit her and she would have sacks of them for Mom to sew for all of us. I just loved those you did. Now I am going to have to do one of these ring journals. It is absolutely adorable. It reminds me of my Mom's era and mine, too. My best friend's Dad worked all of his life delivering milk to peoples homes. Love those milk caps. I have a problem in that I do not know how to do digital prints. I have tried but maybe my computer wont allow them or I have not been able to figure it out. Do you ever send them out on paper and charge for it that way? I love so many of them you have in your store.

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Hi Madilyn! Thank you for sharing your sweet stories!! I don't actually sell the digital printables in my Etsy shop. I buy them from other Etsy shops! Most shops have instructions on how to get the files onto your computer or will help you if you have trouble. There are several steps involved, including downloading the images from the page where you see what you bought (there will be a button next to the item that says Download Files). After you click that, it downloads to your computer and you should see it on your bottom toolbar on your computer screen. Not sure if Mac computers work that way or not, if that's what you have. Then you click on your toolbar where it downloaded to open it up and then you save it to the file you want on your computer so you can easily find it. Hope you will be able to make it work!! 🤗💗💗💗💗

[@deborahcraytor3967]

Amy, you ought to put together some vintage ephemera kits like this, with the authentic recipe cards, fridge magnets, etc. to sell in your shop.

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Hey there! I have done ephemera kits occasionally, but they are time consuming to pull together and also to shop for the pieces! I also don't get to estate sales much, so I often pay retail for ephemera which makes it hard to make any profit on them! Not to mention I already have too many things on my plate and probably need to scale back on the number of things I offer! 🤣 I appreciate the suggestion, though!! Hope all is well with you!! 🤗❤❤❤❤

[@alexandramartinez1966]

Great job Amy! My brother-in-law is a realtor and I was looking on custom housewarming gifts I could make for him. I apologize for this question, but could you tell me why one shouldn’t use sewing pattern images?!

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Thank you, Alexandra! I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that! I just meant that we are not supposed to use photocopies of the illustrations on sewing pattern envelopes because they are still under copyright. It is fine to cut the original images from envelopes, but not make copies of them. And that really just applies if you are selling items. So, for example, when I make my sewing pattern envelope covers for my Kittydori junk journals, I use an actual sewing pattern envelope, not a copy. Please let me know if you have any questions!! 🤗💗💕💗💕💗

[@alexandramartinez1966]

Kittywitty Papercraft thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I think it was just my foggy late night brain not anything you did 🥰

[@tracielippard7977]

Love, love love your work. Thank you so much for sharing. When you say you are "printing off of Pinterest"......can I ask what type of printer you are using/ have?

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Hi Tracie!! Thank you SO much!! So when I print an image from Pinterest, I first click the image, then once it opens, I right click on it and save the image to a file on my computer. When I want to print it out, I just add the image to a Word document! I usually add a bunch of images to a Word doc so I don't waste paper and then I print it out! I just have a basic Brother printer. Nothing fancy. Please let me know if that doesn't answer your question!! xoxo Amy :)

[@sharonedelman3713]

One question. For the printables like the box tops. Did you print actual size or change any of the sizes?

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Hi Sharon! I printed the actual sizes! For the one I turned into a shaker, I resized that to about 4x6 inches. That particular box top was one of the printables in the Printable Kitchen Ephemera Set and was originally about 3x4 if I recall correctly! Please let me know if you have any other questions!! 🤗💕💕💕💕

[@christinalubliner369]

Can you let me know what type of computer paper you printed on? It was a card stock type right? I know regular paper isint as vibrant

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Hi! I always print color on matte photo paper! I like Staples brand Ultra Premium Matte Photo Paper and Canon Matte Photo Paper. It really makes a big difference! Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you for watching!! 🤗❤❤❤
