Vintage Holiday Crafts was born because I could never find the free images I needed. As an artist and a crafter, I found that frustrating. Some of you have let me know that you found it frustrating as well. Vintage Holiday Crafts is an ongoing attempt to address that problem. My goal is to provide as much contemporary and vintage clip art, cards and other types of art as possible, so anyone who needs free images can have them any time!

Naturally, the world being what it is, along with the fun stuff there have to be some rules. But I’ve kept them pretty simple and many site visitors have told me they think they’re very fair. You’ll find all of them below.

Thanks for visiting Vintage Holiday Crafts!

P.S. I especially enjoy it when people leave comments and tell me how they use the images, so please feel free to do so.

Vintage Holiday Crafts Terms of Use

Use of Vintage Holiday Crafts images automatically indicates your acceptance of the following terms.

IMPORTANT: Contemporary images, scrapbook papers, embellishments, invitation templates or other graphics created in Picnik (as indicated on the individual pages where the images are posted) are subject to the Picnik Terms of Use. Please honor these terms.

Unless otherwise noted on a specific page, the following terms apply to vintage images:

You may

• use these vintage images to create e-cards to send to individuals or a non-commercial list
• incorporate any of the vintage images into craft projects, either for your own use or for sale, as long as no more than 5 images are used and no more than 50 of each product is produced
• print the vintage images to use as personal greeting cards
• incorporate up to 5 images in newsletters or other print pieces
• use up to 5 images as clip art on any given page of a commercial or non-commercial site, blog, forum or discussion group as long as this link (or one with similar wording) is somewhere nearby to each image or group of images:
  

Image(s) courtesy VintageHolidayCrafts.com

Please note that linking the image itself DOES NOT count; it must be a text link. Please download the image to your hard drive and then upload it to your site or blog; don’t use the image URL to post the image.

(Photo sharing sites like Photobucket and social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook have different rules as described in the “You may not” section below.)

If you want to post more than five (5) images on a blog or Web site, you may post one screenshot containing as many images as you’d like, as long as it is accompanied by a link to VintageHolidayCrafts.com, as indicated above. Doing that would exempt you from the rule below, but only as it pertains to Web use. Use of the images for any other project(s) would require the license described below.

If you would like to use more than 5 vintage (non-Picnik) images on either a commercial or non-commercial site, blog or other type of project, and/or you want to create more than 50 of any product that features one of our vintage (non-Picnik) images, please do the following:

1. Purchase a one year Vintagerio subscription (Usage would then be subject to the Vintagerio Terms of Use, which allows commercial use as long as it’s not directly competitive with them or Vintage Holiday Crafts.)
2. Provide a link to this site, using one of the links at the bottom of the page (If the art will be used in print and there isn’t a Web presence associated with the project, please provide this credit: “Vintage art courtesy VintageHolidayCrafts.com”, or similar.)

You may not

• sell these images outright
• form them into a similar collection and give them away
• post them to Photobucket, Flickr or any other image sharing sites, unless this link is somewhere near EACH image: Image courtesy VintageHolidayCrafts.com
• post them to MySpace, Facebook or any other social networking site, unless this link is somewhere near EACH image: Image courtesy VintageHolidayCrafts.com

These terms are subject to change at any time. Please visit this page for the latest version.

Please note, some people have violated these terms of use and couldn’t be reached to make modifications. So I had no choice but to file a claim with Google, which in turn forced Google to demand removal of the images from those sites for copyright violations. Please don’t make me do that to you. It’s a huge waste of everyone’s time, particularly  mine. You’ll find these terms are quite flexible, so please honor them. And there may even be additional flexibility, based on your individual circumstances. Please feel free to contact Carla at Info[@]VintageHolidayCrafts[dot]com if you have any questions or special requests.

Links to this book or to Vintage Holiday Crafts or the Free Clip Art Sourcebook are always appreciated!

You can save the button on your left to your hard drive and upload it to your blog or you can use this code, which will center it in your sidebar:

<center></a><a title=”clip art” href=”http://vintageholidaycrafts.com/” target=”_blank”><img class=”aligncenter” style=”border: 0pt none;” src=”
http://vintageholidaycrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/free-vintage-clip-art-1.png” alt=”free clip art” /></a></center>

If you don’t want the image centered, just remove the “<center>” before the code and the “</center>” after the code.

Here are some suggested text links you can copy and paste to use in blog posts or sidebars, or in Web site copy:
