Rustic Junk Journaling at Its Finest: A Cosy Café-Inspired Spread
There’s a special kind of magic in junk journaling — when scraps of paper, vintage textures, and rustic tones come together to create a page that feels alive. Brand Creator Fiona has captured this perfectly in her latest junk journal spread. Inspired by the warmth of an old café nook, she’s layered papers, stickers, and ephemera into a cosy journaling page that’s full of charm.
Rustic Ephemera Meets Vintage Journaling Style
Junk journaling is all about texture and storytelling, and Fiona’s rustic journal layout shows just how powerful the right supplies can be. She built her spread with three key pieces:
✨ Handmade Coffee-Dyed Ephemera Papers – Every junk journaler loves ephemera, and coffee-dyed pages are a staple. Their warm stains and imperfect patterns instantly add vintage character.
✨ Café Life PET Sticker Roll – Filled with coffee cups, stains, and cosy motifs, this journaling sticker roll is perfect for layering into collages and creating focal points. Shop the Sticker Roll →
✨ 6x6 Brick Wall Patterned Papers – A rustic backdrop for junk journal spreads, these papers add depth and a textured finish. Shop the Brick Wall Papers →
Together, they create a layered junk journal page that feels perfectly imperfect — full of stains, textures, and vintage charm.
How to Create Your Own Rustic Junk Journal Spread
Want to bring Fiona’s style into your own junk journaling projects? Here are a few simple tips:
Start with a vintage backdrop like brick wall or aged paper to set the rustic mood.
Layer in ephemera - postcards, tickets, coffee-dyed scraps, or journaling printables - for that authentic junk journal texture.
Add stickers and washi tape for detail. Themed journaling stickers, like the Café Life roll, are an easy way to add character.
Embrace imperfections. Junk journaling shines when it looks handmade, layered, and full of history.
