What’s Inside the Autumn Ephemera PDF?

This collection contains 14 printable pages in US Letter size, measuring 8.5 × 11 inches. The designs bring together warm orange, golden yellow, rich red and earthy brown tones.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Autumn fairies and woodland animals.

• Fall leaves, mushrooms and botanical elements.

• Butterflies and cozy cottage illustrations.

• Fussy-cut pieces and scrapbook papers for creative layering.

Use a larger illustration as the main feature of a page, then add smaller leaves and accents around it. You can print selected pages to suit the project you want to make.

What You Need to Get Started

Gather your printed pages, a blank journal or notebook, small scissors and a glue stick. Matte paper is useful for flexible layers, while printer-compatible cardstock works well for firmer pieces.
Optional supplies include torn book pages, kraft paper, ribbon, lace and ink for adding texture and detail.

How to Make a Cozy Fall Junk Journal Page

Step 1: Print Your Chosen Pages

Open the PDF in a PDF reader and choose US Letter paper. Select “Actual Size” or “100%” to preserve the original proportions.

Print one test page before printing the full collection. Check the colors, margins and paper thickness, and follow your printer’s guidance for the paper you use.

Step 2: Cut Out Your Ephemera

Start with a few favorite pieces, such as a fox, fairy, cottage or leaf cluster. Cut close to the outline for detailed fussy cutting, or leave a thin white border for an easier finish.
Group your cutouts by size or color so they are easy to find while arranging your page.

Step 3: Build a Simple Background

Place a piece of torn paper or a patterned scrap on your journal page. Keep the background fairly quiet if your main illustration has lots of detail.
For a woodland theme, try cream and brown paper with a few orange or red accents.

Step 4: Arrange, Then Glue

Position your largest image first. Add two or three smaller pieces nearby, allowing some edges to overlap.
Leave space for a date, a photograph or a short note about your favorite autumn memory. Once you like the arrangement, glue the background layers first and finish with the smaller details.

More Fall Paper Craft Ideas

Your autumn printables can become more than a journal spread. Here are a few simple projects to try:

• Handmade cards: pair a woodland animal with a leaf cluster and a handwritten greeting.
• Bookmarks: decorate a cardstock strip with small seasonal illustrations.
• Journal pockets: add a paper pocket and decorate its front, leaving the opening clear.
• Scrapbook pages: arrange autumn details around a seasonal photograph.
• Gift tags: attach a small cutout to a plain tag and finish with ribbon or twine.

Repeat a few colors across the project to make the pieces feel connected. You do not need to fill every space—an open area can help your favorite illustration stand out.
