Vintage Hot Air Balloon Trade Cards Collage Sheets
This free printable features a whimsical collection of antique hot air balloon trade cards, a fun and unique addition to your junk journals, scrapbooks, art journals, or collage projects.
Each card showcases early advertising artwork from the late 1800s and early 1900s, when hot air balloons captured the imagination of the public and became popular motifs in Victorian trade cards. The colors are rich, the illustrations are playful, and the imagery adds a sense of wonder and adventure to your work.
Use these vintage balloon illustrations to add visual interest to travel-themed journals, steampunk layouts, or pages centered around dreams, exploration, and curiosity. They also make excellent journaling cards, tuck spots, or collage layers. Try pairing them with vintage maps, celestial motifs, or old-fashioned type to create a beautifully coordinated look.
The printable is designed for standard 8.5x11" paper and easy to cut out.
Tip: These balloon cards look great paired with metallic accents (think gold foil or bronze ink), or layered over watercolor skies and cloud textures for an extra dreamy effect.
