This flower shop junk journal kit brings the whole corner florist indoors: buckets of tulips on the pavement, a counter stacked with ribbon and kraft paper, bouquets wrapped and waiting by the door. It gives you twenty scene pages full of shopfront charm, four seamless background papers for covers and pockets, and four lined writing pages for the lists and letters that belong in a journal like this one.
Print the set on heavyweight matte paper, at least 24 to 32 lb, so ink stays crisp and colour does not show through the back. Set your printer to its best or photo quality and let each sheet dry for a minute before you trim it, then cut close to the edge for a page that fills the spread.
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.
Inside the Shop
Trim this page with pinking shears and tuck a torn ticket stub or receipt along the bottom edge, so it looks left on the pavement by a passing customer.
Pair this with the florist ribbons and stems background paper from later in this set, using it as the facing page so the ribbon spools on the counter echo across the spread.
Peonies wrapped in kraft paper sit ready on the counter beside a ball of twine, a small price tag and a dish of loose petals, with the shop’s shelves softly painted behind.
Tea-stain the edges of this page before gluing it in, so the kraft paper tone matches the warm wash around the border and the bouquet feels freshly tied.
Outside the Shop
A delivery bicycle leans against the shop wall with a basket full of wrapped bouquets, a woven pannier and a small bell, parked on a sunlit cobbled street.
This page suits anyone in your gift journal who keeps cut flowers on the kitchen table all summer, the kind of reader who would fill a page just naming her favourite blooms.
What was she listening to while she worked, and did the arrangement turn out the way she first pictured it. Use this page for a short entry about a task you finished slowly.
Outside the Shop
The usual mistake with a window page like this is leaving too much glass empty and flat. Paint a faint reflection of the street across the lower pane so the glass reads as glass.
A wooden cart holds potted hyacinths and primroses just outside the shop door, with a small chalkboard price sign and a watering can tucked beside the wheels.
Glue a scrap of real ribbon along the bottom border of this page, so the spools painted above seem to spill right off the paper and onto your journal page.
For the five minute version, skip cutting this page to shape and simply glue it flat across a two page spread as a backdrop for smaller clippings.
Fresh roses in tall glass vases line a cooler shelf inside the shop, with small handwritten tags, a few loose petals on the shelf below and crates stacked beside it.
Shop Friends and Details
A flower shop cat sits among pots of ranunculus near the counter, tail curled around its paws, with a woven basket and a dish of water close by.
This page fits the bride-to-be in a gift journal, or anyone planning a wedding of her own, since the marble counter and ribbon leave plenty of blank space for her own notes.
Hanging bunches of dried flowers above the counter catch the light from the window, with woven baskets of lavender and wheat stems set along the shelf below.
A wheelbarrow loaded with potted geraniums sits by the shop door, with a trowel resting on top and a few loose petals scattered across the step.
Place this page beside the florist counter page earlier in the set, so the paper cone of wildflowers looks freshly wrapped and set down just moments ago.
Shelves of ceramic pots hold succulents and trailing ivy near the shop door, with a small watering can and a stack of folded paper wraps tucked beneath.
Outside the Shop
A basket of tulips and a watering can sit together on the shop step, inviting a quick sketch or a pressed petal tucked right into the page.
An arched flower shop door is framed with climbing roses reaching up past the lintel, with a small brass handle and a welcome mat painted at the base.
Cut a small window into this page before gluing it in, so a ribbon scrap or dried petal peeks through from the sheet underneath.
Background Papers
Use this as a lining for a pocket page holding pressed petals, as a backdrop behind a photo of a market day, or trimmed down for the inside cover of your flower shop journal.
Try it tucked under a photo from a flower market visit, as the lining for a small envelope pocket, or wrapped around the spine of your journal as a simple cover paper.
This one works well behind a bridal bouquet photo, as a soft lining for a ribbon pocket, or cut into strips for a border along the edge of a scene page.
Pair it with the florist counter scene page earlier in the set, use it as a cover wrap for the finished journal, or line a small pocket meant to hold spare ribbon.
Lined Writing Pages
Write a short description of your own favourite flower shop here, a list of blooms you want to grow next spring, or a note tucked in for whoever receives this journal.
Use the space for a gift list of bouquets to send this year, a short letter to next year’s self about a garden plan, or a record of flowers given on a special day.
Fill it with a market shopping list, a menu for a garden lunch, or notes on which blooms lasted longest in water this week.
Keep this one for a letter tucked inside a gift bouquet, a short thank you note, or a list of who received flowers from you and why.

Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for a flower shop junk journal kit?
Heavyweight matte paper between 24 and 32 lb works best, since it holds ink crisply without letting colour show through. Cardstock suits the lined pages well if you want sturdier writing sheets.
What printer settings give the best colour on these pages?
Set your printer to its highest or photo quality option and choose matte or plain paper in the driver settings. This keeps the pastel watercolour tones soft and avoids oversaturated or streaky ink.
What size should I print the pages for a standard journal?
Most junk journals use A5 or half letter pages, so scale the print to that size or trim a full letter sheet down. Keep the border margins even on all sides when you cut.
What do I use to glue and trim the pages?
An acid free glue stick keeps pages flat without wrinkling the paper, and a small pair of detail scissors lets you trim close to painted edges. Pinking shears add a decorative edge to scene pages.
Can I colour or alter these pages before gluing them in?
Yes, a light wash of watered down ink or a few extra pen details work well over the printed colour. Keep any extra colouring light so it does not fight with the pastel palette already on the page.
