✂️ let's collage on the beach! 🥥🌴🌺🌅🌊
gift: a beach-ready collage pack to download, cut & paste
Here’s your print and paste download! It’s beachy-keen
I’m sharing an extra special collage pack with everyone this month. These packs are usually exclusively for my paying subscribers (love you all) but I got a bit carried away by the sun, sea, strand vibe. I loved making it because I’m sea-obsessed, if you haven’t noticed hehe, and just wanted to share the joy with everyone.🌊
Warning: gratuitous emojis are coming your way. 🚨
So, welcome to your ready-to-use, ethically sourced images for art journaling, junk journals, collage, mail art, ATCs or zines. 🪸🐚
The downloadable collage packs I make are designed so you can simply print, cut, and start creating… no image hunting, scanning, or background-removal required.
All images in these packs have been carefully sourced and edited by me, with backgrounds removed wherever possible so they’re easy to cut out and layer into your work. 🪼
This summer extravaganza features magazine cutouts of seashells, sea creatures, summer beach objects like ice cream and sunscreen, summer backgrounds for collage pages, and a poetry and quotes page, which is a new thing. 🌊☀️🏝️🐚
Download, print, cut up, collage, print again, collage more 🥥

What can you do with these collage packs?
Not sure where to start with your brand-new printable collage material? Here are some of my favourite ways to use the curated imagery to spark ideas!
Art journaling and junk journaling
Use the images to add focal points, borders, tabs, and tuck spots to your art journal or junk journal pages.
Mail art, happy mail, and penpal letters
Turn everyday letters into tiny works of art by decorating envelopes, letter paper, and little tuck-in goodies with your collage pieces.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)
These printable images are the perfect size for artist trading cards – small, collectible artworks you swap with other creatives. A standard ATC measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches (about 64 x 89 mm), the same size as modern trading cards or Instax Mini photos.
Mixed media collage art
Print, cut, and layer images to create entirely new compositions. Combine vintage botanicals with diagrams, textures, and text fragments to tell little visual stories.

Make your own zine
Collage packs are ideal for filling pages, covers, and inserts in handmade zines. Curious about where to start? Try these posts:
Enjoy!
I’d love to see what you’re working on <3.
