Christmas scrapbook stickers give a memory page the little details that pull it together: a frame around a photo, a ribbon curl tucked in a corner, a ticket stub from the one night out that always gets forgotten by January. This set has 27 sheets built for the Christmas album, with frames for photos and film, props for photo shoots, blank cards to journal on, and small pieces for every tradition from the tree hunt to New Year’s Eve.
Print each sheet on printable sticker paper for a peel-and-stick finish, or use plain paper and a glue stick if that is what is on hand. Print at actual size (turn off “fit to page” in the print dialog) so the frames sit true to scale against a photo, and cut around each piece leaving a thin white edge so nothing looks cropped too close.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Photo Frames
Lay this sheet straight onto a photo page: a gold oval frame, a scalloped frame, an instant photo frame, a wreath frame, a ticket stub frame and a holly corner frame give you six different ways to edge the same kind of picture without repeating a look twice.
Pick the gold oval or scalloped frame for a formal family portrait, and save the instant photo frame and holly corner for a casual snapshot from the day. If you print on plain paper, trace the inner opening lightly before gluing so the photo lines up underneath once it is cut.
A vintage camera, a film roll, a flashbulb, a photo booth strip with blank frames, a slide mount and a camera strap sit together here for anyone building a page about picture-taking itself, not just the pictures. Leave the thin white border around the flashbulb and slide mount when you cut, since their small round shapes lose their edge fast if you trim too close.
Pair this sheet with the Photo Frames Stickers above: a set of gold photo corners, a paper clip with holly, a washi tape roll, a binder clip, a brad and a push pin all do the quiet work of holding a photo in place on the page, real or drawn. Use the paper clip with holly or the push pin to pin a small journaling card to a photo corner for a layered look.
Finishing Touches
A blank train ticket, a blank theater ticket, a blank raffle ticket, a ski lift pass, a skating rink token and a carousel coin give you somewhere to write the date, the place and who came along, instead of just tucking the real stub in a pocket page. Fill one in for every outing this season and the page reads like a small travel log by the time the album closes.
A blank postage stamp with a robin, a blank stamp with a pine tree, a wax seal, an airmail envelope, a postmark circle and a parcel string dress up a card corner or a journaling card as if it travelled through the post to reach the page. Try the whole set as a border along the edge of a two-page spread, postmark circle overlapping the stamp the way a real envelope would look.
A holly card, a snowflake card, a red gingham card, a kraft card with a star, a scalloped card and a dotted card are plain enough inside to hold a date, a name or a short note about what made that day worth keeping, however that reads once it is written.
Write a single line on each as you fill the album: who was there, what the weather did, what song was playing. For more Christmas junk journal ideas, these cards slot straight into a pocket page or tuck behind a photo frame sticker from earlier sheets.
Season Traditions
A cookie tin, a recipe box, a tree topper star, a stocking, a nativity figure and a pair of matching pajamas cover the traditions a family repeats every year without quite noticing, until a page in the album spells them out one object at a time.
A fir tree tied with twine, a hand saw, a mug of cider, a pair of gloves, a pinecone and a tree net belong on the page that covers picking out the tree, whether that means a farm with a saw or a lot on the corner with the tree already cut.
Print on sticker paper for a page that gets handled a lot, since the gloves and hand saw have small details that hold up better peeled than glued from a cut plain-paper piece.
Set a mixing bowl, a flour sack, a cookie tray, a cookie cutter set, a whisk and an oven mitt around a page of kitchen photos, or use them alone on a recipe card page to mark the day the cookies got made.
A tiny shoe ornament, a glass ball, a felt mitten ornament, a salt dough star, a handprint ornament and a clay bell work well scattered around a tree photo or lined up along the bottom of a page like a garland of small keepsakes. A craft knife helps for the narrow gap inside the glass ball’s hanger loop, where small scissors tend to tear the paper instead of cutting clean.
Gatherings and Mornings
A party hat, a punch bowl, a cheese ball, a cocktail glass, a cracker and a record player set the scene for a grown-up gathering page, the kind with good lighting and a playlist instead of a tree in the background.
A snowman, a sled, a pair of boots, a snow angel shape, a snowball pile and a thermos belong on the page that captures the one good snow day, boots still wet by the door and hot cocoa going cold on the table.
A candle, a plate of cookies, a moon and stars, a church lantern and a pair of slippers mark the quiet end of the day before, the kind of page that reads slower than the ones either side of it in the album.
Place the candle or the moon and stars in a corner rather than the centre, so there is room left for a photo or a journaling card from the earlier sheets to sit beside them.
A hand-drawn star, a doodled heart, a swirl, a little arrow, a sparkle cluster and a scribbled snowflake fill the gaps between bigger stickers on a busy spread, the way a few doodles always seem to appear around the edges of a page once it is nearly full. For more small-scale ideas in the same loose style, see Christmas doodles for beginners.
A torn kraft strip, a torn plaid paper strip, a torn music sheet scrap, a torn snowflake paper strip, a torn doily and a torn red paper heart give a page that handmade, layered look without any actual tearing required, since the torn edge is already drawn in.
Christmas Day
A stocking full of toys, a pajama set, a coffee mug, a pile of wrapping paper, a puppy with a bow and a toy train cover the chaos of the morning itself, wrapping paper and all, better than a single photo usually manages alone.
A string of big bulbs, a single green bulb, a light-up star, a candle bulb, a red bulb and a plug with a tangled cord work as a border along the top or bottom of a page, strung loosely the way real lights never quite lie straight.
A pair of skis, a sledge, a pair of snowshoes, a ski hat, a lodge lantern and a cup of cocoa suit a page about a trip away from home, whether that means a mountain cabin for the week or a single afternoon on a local hill.
If the album also covers the weeks leading up to the day, the tree hunt sheet and this one pair naturally on facing pages, since both lean on cold-weather gear and warm drinks.
A roll of paper, a tape dispenser, a pair of scissors, a blank gift tag shape, a bow and a box fit a page about the wrapping itself, paper scraps and all, or sit along the border of a gift-giving spread.
Small Worlds
A little church, a bakery house, a lamp post, a bench, a pine tree and a mailbox build into a tiny village scene along the bottom of a page, the kind of border that takes five minutes to arrange once all six pieces are cut.
A cat in a stocking, a dog in a sweater, a pet bowl with a bow, a dog bone with ribbon, a cat toy mouse and a pet bed give the family pet a page of its own, since most albums end up with at least one.
Cut a Santa hat, a pair of reindeer antlers, a felt mustache, a big bow, a star wand and a jingle bell headband close to the edge and tape a toothpick or small stick behind each one to turn the sheet into real holding props for a quick photo before the pieces go in the album instead. Glued flat, the same six pieces work just as well scattered loose around a group photo on the page.
A glass jar, a folded note, a sprig of pine, a ribbon scrap and a cinnamon stick suggest a small keepsake jar for the page, somewhere to picture the little notes a family tucks away all season without ever actually filling a real jar.
A white amaryllis, a red rose, a poinsettia, a hellebore, a sprig of berries and a eucalyptus stem soften a page full of frames and tickets with something grown rather than kept, the way a vase on the table does in an actual room. For a softer floral approach elsewhere on the blog, see watercolor Christmas card ideas.
Correspondence
A red envelope, a kraft envelope with twine, a card with a pine sprig, a card with a robin, a pen and an inkwell round out the set for anyone whose album also tracks the cards sent and received each year, a tradition worth its own page.
Pair this sheet with the Stamps and Postmarks sheet for a full mailed-card look, envelope and stamp together as if the card just arrived. For more card-making angles, browse Christmas junk journal page ideas.
A clock, a champagne glass, a party popper, a confetti burst, a streamer and a sparkler close the album the way the season itself does, one last page after Christmas Day to mark the turn into the new year.
What to Do Next
Print the sheets that match your album’s timeline first, the tree hunt and baking memories before Christmas Day itself, and build outward from there one spread at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these christmas scrapbook stickers?
Printable sticker paper gives the cleanest peel-and-stick finish for a junk journal or planner page. Plain paper and a glue stick work just as well if sticker paper is not on hand, since the pieces are large enough to cut and glue by hand without trouble.
What printer settings should I use?
Print at actual size, with scaling or fit to page turned off, so the frames and tickets stay true to their printed proportions. 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 or curved pieces cleanly?
Leave a thin white border around each piece rather than cutting right to the ink line, which protects fine details like the flashbulb or photo corners. A craft knife handles inner curves, like the loop on an ornament, better than scissors.
Can I use these stickers on gifts as well as journal pages?
Yes, the ribbon, ticket and gift wrapping sheets work well on gift tags and wrapped presents, not just album pages. The blank journaling cards also make quick last-minute gift tags once a name is written on.
How do I plan which sheets go together on one page?
Group sheets by the section headings, since each one shares a sub-theme like photo frames, baking memories or Christmas morning. Pick one frame sheet, one small-object sheet and one blank card per spread for a page that feels planned rather than crowded.
