Introducing My NEW Vintage Seed Catalog Rice Paper

Creating with Charm: Vintage Illustrations

There’s something undeniably special about vintage seed catalog art. The delicate typography, the bold colors, and the hand-drawn illustrations of fruits, vegetables, and flowers from the early 1900s evoke a sense of nostalgia and beauty that’s hard to find in modern design.

This week, Barb and I are working with a gorgeous set of rice papers printed in Italy, featuring high-resolution reproductions of those exact kinds of vintage illustrations.
These images come from antique seed catalogs and are printed on 30 GSM rice paper—lightweight, durable, and perfect for mixed media.

We love using them in all kinds of creative ways:
– Barb layers them in her art journal to add charm and character
– I embellish them with heavy body acrylic paint to create framed kitchen art or thoughtful handmade gifts

Because the paper is thin and fade-resistant, it glues down beautifully and blends into your background effortlessly.
The designs are detailed and vibrant, and each sheet feels like a tiny piece of preserved history.

Whether you're creating collage, cards, tags, or giftable art, these vintage illustrations bring a timeless quality to your work.
