Botanical Junk Journal Kit, Vintage Herbarium Ephemera, Specimen Field Study, 64 Pages, Collage Sheets, Fussy Cuts, Junk Journal Supplies

Seller's description

**For the botanical journal maker who is tired of lookalike kits — and tired of decoding license fine print to find the catch.**

The Botanist's Field Archive is a story-driven junk journal kit built around one fictional collection: the specimens, field-study plates, garden notes and paper scraps gathered by E. Hartwell, botanist, between 1892 and 1911. Roses pressed the summer they bloomed. A fern card carried home from the fernery wall. Seed packets, specimen labels, postage stamps and a drawer of vintage ephemera — every page belongs to the same archive, so everything you make from it looks like it was always meant to be together.

This is a printable junk journal kit with honest counts, two true sizes, and ONE CLEAR LICENSE (below). No copy caps. No contradictions. No fine print.

### WHAT YOU GET

**64 pages** (counted once — every page is included in BOTH sizes) **+ 163 cut-apart pieces** on 16 ephemera collage sheets:

- **2 covers** — front and back, deep-green archive style
- **18 specimen journal pages** — mounted specimen cards with real botanical names (Rosa canina, Lavandula angustifolia, Paeonia lactiflora…), archive labels and ruled field-note lines
- **10 field-study plates** — Plates I–X, framed plate pages on deep green and parchment
- **12 background papers** — ledger pages, botanical greens, parchment designs and an EX LIBRIS bookplate paper, with the aged, antique papers look printed bright enough to stay clear
- **6 writing pages** — field notes, a specimen-record ledger, graph paper, dot grid, observations & sketches, and a season divider
- **16 ephemera collage sheets — the ephemera bundle — holding 163 pieces:** 28 specimen labels (8 large + 20 small) · 16 journaling cards (8 botanical + 8 field notes) · 6 seed packets · 9 pockets & envelopes (3 large fold-and-glue pockets + 6 small) · 18 tags (6 large hang tags + 12 small) · 5 bookmarks · 9 artist trading cards · 24 word strips & sentiment strips · 12 postage stamps + 6 archive seals · 20 fussy cuts (specimen cards) · 4 specimen record cards · 6 border strips
- **BONUS, free inside:** a printable license card and a print-guide page with a colour test strip and a 2-inch scale-check ruler

Together, it's a complete set of junk journal supplies: pages, background papers and every piece of junk journal ephemera, all matched to one archive.

### TWO SIZES, BOTH INCLUDED

Every one of the 64 pages comes in **US Letter (8.5 × 11 in)** AND **A4 (210 × 297 mm)**, each at a true **300 DPI**. Critical content keeps a safe margin of at least 0.75 in, and every ephemera sheet carries dashed cut guides — so home printers never clip a piece. Download the size you print — both sizes are in this printable kit.

### HOW TO PRINT

Print at 100% / Actual Size on matte presentation paper or light cardstock (heavier card for pockets, tags and covers). Choose "Best" or "High" quality. The palette is brightness-lifted, so prints come out clear — not muddy — on home printers. Print the test strip on the included print-guide page first, and check the 2-inch ruler to confirm your scale. Full instructions are in the PRINT-GUIDE.txt inside every ZIP.

### PERFECT FOR

Botanical and vintage junk journals · junk journal pages for herbarium, garden and nature-study journals · specimen ephemera collections · junk journal add on pages · building folio kits, slender journals and no-sew journals · collage sheets and scrapbook layouts · journal makers who sell finished journals and want a license they can actually understand.

### LICENSE — ONE CLEAR LICENSE

The whole agreement, in plain English:

**You may** print as many copies as you need for your own projects · use the printed pieces in handmade journals and crafts that you sell, with **NO limit on finished items sold** · sell those finished physical items anywhere, online too · no credit required.

**Please don't** share, resell or give away the digital files themselves · sell or upload the designs as digital files, clipart or print-on-demand artwork, altered or unaltered · sell loose prints of the pages as standalone artwork · claim the artwork as your own creation.

That's all of it. The same license is printed on the license card inside every download — one clear license, no buried copy cap, nothing that contradicts itself three paragraphs later.

### ❓ QUESTIONS

**Will this print well on my home printer?** Yes — pages are a true 300 DPI with margins of at least 0.75 in, and the colours are brightness-lifted for home printing. The included print-guide page has a test strip and scale ruler so you can check before printing the full kit.

**Do I get both US Letter and A4?** Yes — all 64 pages are included in both sizes (128 page files, plus the bonus card and guide in both sizes). Print whichever fits your paper.

**Can I sell journals I make with this kit?** Yes — finished physical items, unlimited, anywhere. The license only restricts the digital files themselves (no sharing, reselling or uploading the files or the artwork as digital products).

**How do I receive the kit?** Instant digital download after purchase: 5 ZIP files from Etsy (listed under Delivery below). Download all 5 to receive the complete kit. Each ZIP contains LICENSE.txt and PRINT-GUIDE.txt.

**What if a file won't open or a ZIP fails?** Message the shop — we'll make it right.
