From Screen to Paper: How Our Vintage Tags Come to Life – There is something special about holding a beautifully printed tag in your hands.
While many of our designs begin as digital artwork on the computer, there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing them transformed into finished paper pieces that are ready to use. Whether they’re tucked into a junk journal, tied onto a gift, or decorating a jar of homemade goodies, each tag begins with a simple idea and a love for vintage-inspired paper goods.
Where the Inspiration Begins
Inspiration comes from all around us—aged postcards, antique labels, old books, botanical illustrations, handwritten letters, vintage advertising, and the timeless charm of worn paper. These little details help create designs that feel nostalgic and full of character.
Once an idea takes shape, it’s carefully designed digitally, making sure every elemet works together before it’s ever printed.
Bringing the Design to Life
After the artwork is complete, it’s time for one of our favorite parts of the process—printing. Watching a sheet of tags come off the printer never gets old. Rich colors, vintage textures, and thoughtful details suddenly become something you can hold in your hands.
Each sheet is carefully trimmed, packaged, and prepared so they’re ready for their next creative adventure.
These vintage-inspired designs are just the beginning! Over the coming months, many of our collections will be available as both instant digital downloads and professionally printed paper goods. Whether you enjoy printing at home or prefer ready-to-use pieces, there will be an option for every creative style.
Endless Ways to Use Vintage Tags
One of the best things about vintage-style tags is how versatile they are.
Here are just a few favorite ways to use them:
- Tie them onto gifts for a personal touch.
- Add them to junk journals or scrapbooks.
- Decorate baskets and seasonal displays.
- Label jars, candles, or handmade goodies.
- Create thoughtful hostess or teacher gifts.
- Add charm to holiday decorating.
- Include them in happy mail or care packages.
No matter how they’re used, they bring a little vintage charm to everyday moments.
Printed or Digital—The Choice Is Yours
Many of our designs are available in two different ways. If you enjoy crafting right away, our digital downloads let you print as many copies as you’d like from home.
If you’d rather skip the printing and cutting, our professionally printed tags from The Ephemera Cabinet arrive ready to use. Either way, you’ll receive the same vintage-inspired artwork created with care here in our Colorado studio.
