How to Use Digital Kits in Journaling / Creating a NEW Pocket

Today I’m taking digital printables and transforming them into pieces that look genuinely aged. Not just distressed, but convincingly authentic! I’m also showing a creative, unexpected way to use the envelopes from my Christmas kit so they become functional, beautiful elements inside your journal.

If you love the look of real vintage ephemera but want the convenience of digital, this walkthrough gives you the exact techniques I use to add depth, wear, patina, and character to printed pieces. The envelope idea at the end is such a fun twist and works with any holiday or themed kit you already have.
