Ephemera

Holiday light reflectors were popular in the 50s & 60s to add extra sparkle to the Christmas tree.  These reflectors were simply placed over bulbs to reflect the lights and add additional color. Now, these fluted, authentic vintage metal reflectors are brought to digital form.  Celebrate just like when it was all about the bubble lights, colorful metallic trees, and that stringy tinsel that covered your floor well into the new year. Now you can celebrate Christmas in retro style once again with my Vintage Christmas-Light Reflectors element pack!  Recount tales of opening presents by Grandma's tree, Mom's famous ornament collection, or even your current holiday traditions on a beautiful layout adorned with these sparkling ornaments. Perfect for adding just the right amount of shimmer, shine and spunk to your holiday layouts!

Element pack contains 13 unique items in shadowed and unshadowed versions.

Pinned Purple Paper Dates | Kim Jensen

Pinned Purple Paper! (Try saying that five times fast! LOL) I don't know exactly why, but I've always loved these little purple tags that come home pinned to our dry cleaning, and I thought they would make a really fun touch for a layout. So I created a Pinned Purple Paper date set!

Don't miss the coordinating Pinned Purple Paper Alpha as well!!

The date set includes 366 pieces, one for each day of the year - including Leap Year! Each has the number for the date and the 3-letter abbreviation for the month, both right-side up and upside-down, so you can turn them any which way for even more fun!

The tags measure approximately 1" wide by 1.875" high and are shown relative to a 12x12 canvas in the preview.

The tags can easily be recolored, and Hue/Saturation settings for the examples are included in the file.

No drop shadows. Created at 300ppi.

Previously sold elsewhere. Please check your stash before purchasing.
