Not every winter page has to be about Christmas. Snow days, the first skate of the year, a mug of cocoa after sledding: those memories run from December well into February. This winter wonderland junk journal kit is made for them, in navy, icy blue and silver with just a touch of red.
The kit has eleven US Letter pages: three background papers, two snowy village postcards, a lined journal page, journaling cards, tags and labels, stamps and tickets, a sheet of cut-outs, and a pocket with a belly band.
What’s in the kit
- 3 background papers: navy with white snowflakes, icy blue with snow dots, and a red and navy Nordic sweater pattern
- 2 snowy village postcards, one at night and one at dusk
- First Snow journal page with date and weather prompts
- 6 journaling cards: First Snow, Hot Cocoa, Sledding Day, Snowman Building, Cozy Nights and Winter Walk
- 8 hang tags and 6 labels with snowflakes, mittens, pine trees and snowmen
- 6 stamps and 3 tickets: ice skating rink, sleigh ride and winter festival
- Winter cut-outs: 3 large snowflakes, 2 pairs of mittens, a snowman and 3 snowy pine trees
- Pocket template and belly band
The kit pages
Snowflake, snow dot and Nordic papers
The navy snowflake paper is the main background, and it makes a good cover. The icy blue snow dot paper is lighter, so writing and stickers show up well on it. The Nordic sweater pattern, with red triangles and navy snowflakes, gives you the cozy knitwear look for spine strips and borders.
Snowy village postcards
Two postcards with a little village, pine trees and a church on a snowy hill. One is set under a starry night sky, the other at a pink and violet dusk. Cut them out and glue them on a page, or write a note on the back and send one to someone.
First Snow journal page
A lined page with snowflakes in the corners and three prompts under the title: date, weather and what we did. Write it on the day of the first real snowfall, and you will have a record to compare with next year.
Journaling cards
Six cards with navy and icy blue title bands. Each one has a small winter picture in the corner and enough lines for a few sentences or a list.
Tags and labels
Eight tags read Let It Snow, Winter Wonderland, Snow Day, Stay Cozy, Brrr!, Warm Wishes, Merry & Bright and Peace. The six labels below them (Cocoa, Mittens, Snow Days, Memories, Photos and Keepsakes) are sized for pocket fronts and envelope flaps.
Stamps and tickets
Six faux postage stamps and three tickets for an ice skating rink, a sleigh ride and a winter festival. They are good fillers for page corners and look nice tucked under washi tape.
Winter cut-outs
A full sheet of shapes to cut out: three big snowflakes, two pairs of mittens, a snowman with a top hat and scarf, and three snowy pine trees. Leave a thin white edge when you cut; it makes the shapes stand out on dark paper. Kids can help with this page.
Pocket and belly band
Cut, fold and glue the pocket to hold journaling cards and photos. The icy blue belly band says Winter Wonderland and wraps around the closed journal.

Ideas for a winter junk journal
- Make one signature per month: December, January and February.
- Keep the First Snow page at the front and add a new date each winter.
- Save the cocoa recipe, a ski lift ticket or a skating rink receipt in the pocket.
- Use the cut-out snowflakes as page tabs; glue half on the page and let the rest stick out.
- Add a little texture: a scrap of white felt, a silver thread, or a dot of glitter glue on the snowflakes.
Printing tips
Print at “Actual size” on US Letter. The navy paper uses more ink, so let it dry for a minute before you fold it. Use light cardstock for the tags, cut-outs and pocket. A regular home printer can’t print metallic silver, so if you want shine, add it after printing with a silver gel pen.

FAQ
Is this a Christmas kit?
Mostly it is a winter kit. There is one Merry & Bright tag, but the rest works from the first snow in November or December until the thaw.
Is the kit free?
Yes, for personal use and classroom crafts. Print as many copies as you need. Please don’t sell the printables or share the PDF file itself; link to this page instead.
What paper weight should I use?
Regular 20–24 lb printer paper for backgrounds and the journal page, and 65 lb cardstock for tags, stamps, cut-outs and the pocket.
Can I print it on A4?
Yes. Pick “Fit to page” in the print dialog and everything scales down evenly.
