Kitsch Christmas stickers bring the whole mid-century holiday to your table: glass ornaments with a wink, aluminum trees in colors no real tree ever grew, and party food nobody serves anymore but everybody remembers. This set has 23 sheets, each one its own small sub-theme, so you can pull exactly the mood you want for a journal spread, a card front or a stack of gift tags without digging through a jumble of mismatched images.

Print the sheets on printable sticker paper for a true peel-and-stick set, or use plain paper and a glue stick if that is what you have on hand. Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale to fit the page, and leave a thin white edge around each piece when you cut so the ink line stays protected.

Glass Ornament Classics

Start the set where mid-century Christmas always starts: on the tree. This sheet gathers a striped glass ball, a pink bell, a teal teardrop, a silver indent ornament, a frosted ball and a spire tree topper, six shapes that carry the whole kitsch palette in miniature.

Scatter them down the side of a Christmas junk journal page or along the top of a card front for an instant garland effect. They also work well stuck straight onto plain kraft gift wrap, spaced loosely so the paper color shows between them.

Mugs make a warm, cozy sub-theme that sits nicely next to the ornaments above. This sheet holds a winking Santa mug, a Mrs. Claus mug, a snowman mug, a reindeer mug and a candy-cane spoon, five pieces built for anything cocoa-shaped.

On sticker paper they peel clean and sit flat on a planner week where you want a little holiday cheer without covering the dates. On plain paper with glue, press firmly at the handle first since that thin curved part lifts fastest if the glue runs thin.

Mid-Century Trees And Lights

Aluminum trees are the single most mid-century image in the whole holiday, and this sheet gives five variations: a pink aluminum tree, a silver tinsel tree, a turquoise feather tree, a color wheel lamp and a tree stand.

Pair this sheet with the vintage lights sheet further down the set for a full tree corner on a journal page, lamp included. If you print on sticker paper, cut the tree shapes first since their narrow trunks are the easiest part to tear if you rush.

A string of C9 bulbs, a bubble light, a blow-mold candle, a lit plastic star and a blow-mold Santa round out the lighting side of the mid-century tree, each one a shape collectors still hunt for at flea markets.

These strips and single bulbs look good running along the bottom edge of a card or framing a photo in a scrapbook. For the bulb string, a small craft knife helps separate the thin wire between bulbs if you want to bend the strip around a corner.

Pixies And Figurines

This sheet leans fully into the kitsch side of the set with an elf on a candy cane, a pixie with a bell, a pixie in a stocking, a pixie on a star and a pixie holding a gift, five big-eyed characters built for charm rather than realism.

Kids and grown collectors both respond to these faces, so they suit a card meant to get a laugh as much as a quiet journal page. Glue stick works fine here since the shapes are rounded with no sharp inner points to lift.

Angel figurines close out this section with a spaghetti-haired angel, a choir angel, a harp angel, a candle angel and a star angel, five classic tabletop pieces reimagined as flat stickers for your page.

Sweets And Cocktails

Food stickers round out a journal spread fast, and this sheet brings six: a sprinkle star cookie, a frosted tree cookie, a gingerbread man, a candy-cane cookie, a wreath cookie and a cookie jar.

Group a few of these around a recipe card or a holiday baking list for a page that reads at a glance. The cookie jar is the biggest piece on the sheet, so give it its own spot rather than crowding it next to the smaller cookies.

Pair this with the cookie sheet above for a full dessert table on one page. Peppermint swirl, gumdrop tree, candy-cane bundle, lollipop, box of chocolates and candy dish give six sweet shapes in the same cherry-and-mint palette as the rest of the set.

The lollipop and candy dish both have thin stick or rim details, so a craft knife makes cleaner work of those inner curves than scissors alone.

An eggnog glass, a punch cup, a cocktail shaker, a cherry in a coupe and a holly cocktail napkin bring the grown-up party side of the holiday table onto one sheet, the right note for a hostess card or a New Year journal page.

Under The Tree

This sheet is built for the gift pile at the bottom of a card or journal page: a tin wind-up robot, a rocking horse, a toy drum, a jack-in-the-box, a tin train and a baby doll in a pram.

These toys read as a set even when scattered, so you can split them across two different pages and they will still feel connected. On plain paper, press the jack-in-the-box edges down firmly first since its folded box shape has the most corners to catch.

A polka-dot gift box, a striped package, a hat box, a tiny gift tower and a gift with a big red bow give five wrapped shapes that sit naturally under any tree sticker from this set or around the edge of a gift tag you have already made.

Round out the gift corner with a red felt stocking, a sequin stocking, a candy-stripe stocking, a mitten pair and a toy-filled stocking, five hanging shapes that work well lined up along a mantel drawn or printed on the same page.

Try the five-minute version here: print just this sheet, cut the five pieces apart, and stick them straight across the top of a plain card blank for a finished front with almost no extra drawing.

Winter Scenes

A red sleigh, a winking reindeer, a sack of toys, a sleigh bell and a lantern bring motion to a page that otherwise holds only still objects, a good pick for the cover of a vintage Christmas junk journal.

Snow people get their own cheerful sheet here: a snowman in a top hat, a snowman with earmuffs, a snow lady with a hat, a snowman candle and a snow globe, five cold-weather characters with the same rosy-cheeked charm as the pixies.

The snow globe is the most detailed piece on this sheet, with a round dome and a small base, so cut it last once your scissors have warmed up on the simpler shapes around it.

A cardinal on a bauble, a glass bird clip ornament, a bluebird with holly, a partridge and a white dove give the set a quieter, prettier sub-theme, good for the corner of a card where you want color without another cartoon face.

Mid-Century Pets And Deer

This sheet is pure 1950s charm: a pink poodle in a scarf, a white poodle with a bow, a poodle on a sled, a poodle with a gift and a poodle figurine, five pups in the same candy colors as the ornaments at the top of the set.

These make a sweet run of stickers along a planner’s holiday week, or a border around a photo of your own dog in a Santa hat if your journal leans that way.

A glitter deer, a fawn with a bow, a deer with a bell collar, a reindeer planter and a ceramic doe sit well beside the poodle sheet, both drawn as the decorative figurines collectors still set out on a mantel each year.

The Mid-Century Table

A holly cake stand, a Jell-O mold, a fruitcake, a percolator, a punch bowl and a cheese ball bring the full kitchen table onto one sheet, six foods and serving pieces nobody draws anymore but every mid-century party had.

These are a fun match for a recipe box divider or a page about a family holiday meal. On sticker paper, the percolator’s handle is the thinnest line on the sheet, so cut slowly around it rather than trying to go fast.

A party mix bowl, a candy dish with mints, a deviled egg plate, a cookie tin and a relish tray finish the food side of the set, five party staples that pair naturally with the kitchen sheet above for a full table spread across two pages.

Step back from the food and ornaments for a sheet of the room itself: a boxy TV set with a tinsel garland, an armchair, a sputnik lamp, a record player and a fireplace with stockings, five pieces of furniture that set a whole scene in one go.

Use these as a backdrop layer on a scrapbook page, placing the smaller ornament and pixie stickers from earlier sheets on top of the TV or the mantel for a layered living room scene.

People And Tree Toppers

A caroler lady in a muff, a caroler man in a top hat, a choir boy candle, a lantern and a hymn book bring a few human figures into the set, well suited to the front of a holiday card meant for sending rather than keeping.

Close the ornament side of the set with a spun-glass star, a lit angel topper, a glass spire finial, a Santa topper and a starburst topper, five finishing pieces meant to sit at the very top of any tree sticker from earlier in the set.

If you want a quick gift tag instead of a journal page, cut one topper and one ornament from this and the first sheet, glue them onto a plain blank tag, and the mini tree reads instantly without any extra drawing.

Every kitsch sheet needs sparkle to scatter between the main pieces, and this one gives five: a gold starburst, a teal sputnik star, a pink sparkle, a red boomerang and a silver snowflake.

Tuck a few of these into empty corners of any other sheet’s layout once it is glued down, the same way the mid-century originals filled blank space on old wrapping paper and greeting cards. They also make a quick border running along the edge of a Christmas junk journal page.

What to Do Next

Pick two or three sheets that match the card or page you have in front of you, print them at actual size, and start cutting: the full set is here whenever the next kitsch Christmas project calls for a Santa mug or a pink aluminum tree.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paper works best for these kitsch Christmas stickers?

Printable sticker paper gives a true peel-and-stick finish, matte or glossy both work fine. Plain paper with a glue stick is a good no-cost option, especially for thicker junk journal pages where extra sticker backing adds bulk.

What printer settings should I use?

Print at actual size or 100 percent, never fit to page, so the stickers stay the size they were drawn at. Choose the best or photo quality setting if your printer offers one, since it keeps the fine outlines crisp.

How do I cut out small detailed stickers cleanly?

Leave a thin white border around each piece rather than cutting exactly on the line, which protects the ink edge from fraying. A craft knife handles inner curves, like a mug handle or a bell shape, better than scissors.

Can I use these stickers on store-bought cards and gift wrap?

Yes, these stickers sit well on plain or kraft cards, gift bags and wrapping paper since the retro palette reads against most backgrounds. Group two or three per card front rather than spreading them thin for the best kitsch effect.

Which sheets pair well for a full journal page?

Start with an aluminum tree or ornament sheet as the base, add a pixie or figurine sheet for character, then scatter a few atomic sparkle stickers into the gaps. That three-sheet combination gives a page that feels full without any extra drawing.
