The Midnight Botanist — Printable Botanical Kit & Label Maker

Make a label for your little world.

Turn a journal, a thoughtful note or a small collection into something personal. The Midnight Botanist pairs six historical botanical book plates with coordinated labels, frames and papers — and now includes an offline Label Maker for your own wording.

NEW IN EDITION 1.1: THE LABEL MAKER

• Start with 12 phrases or write your own title, subtitle, date and collection number.

• Choose from three palettes, three borders and two title styles. See the result as you edit.

• Export a custom SVG or a 1050 × 450-pixel PNG, or make an A4 or US Letter PDF with 12 matching labels.

• Undo changes, keep a local draft when browser storage is available, and copy a design backup to save or restore later.

• Open the included HTML file in a current full web browser. It works offline, with no account or subscription required.

THE COMPLETE ARCHIVE KIT

• 30 design elements: six high-resolution archival JPEG plates, 12 labels, six frames and six paper designs.

• Original labels, frames and papers in outlined SVG and 300-dpi PNG formats. Frame PNGs have transparent backgrounds.

• Six finished printable layouts, supplied in both A4 and US Letter: field notes, note cards, labels, journal paper, postcards and bookmarks.

• A quick-start guide and clear source/use information.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Label Maker labels measure 3.5 × 1.5 inches (88.9 × 38.1 mm). Its PDF sheets are for plain paper; they are not aligned to a particular pre-cut sticker stock. Print at 100% / Actual size and test one page first. PNG and PDF exports capture the preview; SVG text uses fonts available on your device and may look different elsewhere. Long titles may need shortening to stay readable. File previews inside email or messaging apps may not run the tool — extract the ZIP and open the HTML in a full browser.

The archival plates are complete photographs of illustrated book openings, including the paper and dark background. They are not transparent botanical cutouts. Lettering in the original SVG assets is outlined; the separate Label Maker provides editable wording. The cover illustration is presentation artwork and is not included as an editable design asset. The Label Maker preview in the gallery shows the included tool.

You may use the original designs in personal or commercial finished projects; do not redistribute the original template assets as a competing pack. The six separately identified CC0 plates remain unrestricted public-domain source material. See the included use terms for details.

Historical artwork: Book of Flower Studies, Master of Claude de France, ca. 1510–1515, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, CC0. No museum endorsement. Decorative artwork, not a plant-identification guide. Layouts, the Label Maker and the original cover were prepared with AI assistance.
