Cottage Garden Party — Junk Journal Kit · 64 Printable Pages

Pour yourself a strong cup of Earl Grey in a vintage china cup, and let me take you somewhere. A late-July afternoon in the long garden of a Cotswolds cottage. The roses are in full bloom along the lichen-spotted stone wall — coral, peach, buttery yellow, dusty pink. A trestle table laid with a faded linen cloth, three-tier cake stands of vintage china loaded with cucumber sandwiches and Victoria sponge and tiny iced fairy cakes. Gingham bunting strung between the apple trees. Bees humming. Somebody's old gramophone playing softly from the open french doors.

That's the world of Cottage Garden Party — 64 printable pages of saturated English-garden-summer. Not pastel — closer to the deep saturated bloom of a peony in full sun.

Palette: warm coral, sage green, buttery yellow, cream, dusty rose, gingham red.

What's inside:

• 12 atmospheric background scenes — afternoon-tea trestle tables, vintage china cake stands, jam jars of garden roses, gingham bunting between apple trees, lichen stone walls covered in climbing roses, picnic baskets on the lawn, the gramophone on the porch

• 14 pattern papers — gingham in coral and red, vintage china florals, ribbon-and-bow toile, dusty rose damask, rose-and-sweet-pea repeats, antique invitation borders

• 12 seamless tileable papers — for liners and pockets

• 6 lined journal pages — handwritten recipe-card style with floral corners

• 6 textured / tea-stained pages — antique linen, jam-stained ivory, watercolour rose wash

• 9 core ephemera sheets — fussy cuts (rose blooms, sweet peas, gingham bunting strands, vintage teacups, fairy cakes, jam jars, picnic baskets, butter knives), 4 bookmarks, 6 vintage party-invitation cards, mini envelopes + garden-party postage, hero motifs (full rose-and-sweet-pea bouquet, three-tier cake stand, gingham bunting strand, picnic basket, jam jar of flowers), bees + butterflies + ladybirds + robins, ornate floral frames, ~20 garden-party word tags, banners + ribbons

• 5 BONUS ephemera sheets — 6 sepia cabinet portraits of Edwardian garden-party hostesses, 12 themed garden postage stamps, wax seal monograms A–Z across two sheets, faux gingham washi tape strips

Plus: portrait A4 PDF · individual JPG zip · landscape booklet PDF (easy 2-up printing) · booklet JPG zip. All 300 DPI · A4 portrait · 64 printable pages total.

A few ideas for getting the most out of this kit:

• Build an imagined Lady Olivia Whitmore album — hosting the summer garden party at her Cotswolds cottage in July 1923, with invitation cards signed by guests and wax-sealed correspondence.

• Use the gingham bunting fussy cuts to string across a spread with a tiny piece of cotton thread, layered over a rose pattern paper.

• Use the journaling cards as imaginary menu cards — write the afternoon tea menu, the guest list, the flower arrangement notes.

• Pair with our Vintage Love Letters & Bridal or Lavender Fields Provence kits for a complete English-summer series.
