Junk Journal Prompt Builder — Vintage Pages & Ephemera

Pretty collage prompts are not a kit. Buyers want matching papers, cuttable tags, empty frames and pages with space to write. Random vintage dumps do not sell as packs.

The AI Junk Journal Prompt Builder is a Google Sheets tool for journal pages, digital papers, isolated ephemera, tags and frames. Fill 32 dropdowns. Get five outputs: a main journal prompt, a page and kit layout brief, an ephemera cutout brief, a pack cohesion brief and a listing brief. Built for Midjourney, Ideogram, Flux and Recraft-style texture work.

FAQ

Can I make full kits, not one pretty page?
Yes. The Pack Cohesion Brief locks palette and aging and suggests a papers / pages / cutouts mix.

Will text spell correctly on the page?
Default is no readable words. Use faint script or one short label only if you will check spelling.

Does it make isolated PNG ephemera?
Yes. Isolation and cutout ground fields are built for white-background tags, frames and bottles.

Is this the same as Clipart?
No. Clipart is stickers and icons. This one is vintage paper kits: pages, aging, foxing and journal layout.
