A ready-made Victorian Christmas junk journal kit of 20 printable pieces of real Christmas ephemera from 1859 to 1905: 1890s magazine Christmas posters, Puck Christmas covers, chromolithograph shop trade cards, greeting cards and Harper's Weekly Christmas engravings. They share the same holly red, evergreen, gold and cream palette, so they work together as one set. Print them at home and cut them out for junk journals, Christmas cards, gift tags, collage, scrapbook pages, journal inserts and decoupage.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Magazine Christmas posters (5): about 13 × 20 in up to 21 × 28 in, big enough to frame as wall art
• Puck Christmas covers (3): about 13 × 17 in to 13 × 18 in
• Engravings (3): about 10 × 12 in up to 17 × 24 in
• Trade and greeting cards (9): about 5 × 8 in up to 7 × 12 in, journal and card size
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.
