Online Library Card generator to create fake ephemera

I love fake ephemera and I am always fascinated when new technology imitates old technology. This Library Card Generator is a bit of fun. The free online software created by John Blyberg generates old library cards. You simply type in what ever details you want in the fields provided, and the site generates a fake library card.

Catalogue card generated by an online card generator

I love the idea of fake ephemera as it hints at a story that could be told. If you create art journals, junk journals, or alter books, you will find generating and printing out your own card fun.

Don’t forget you can also print images like this on fabric. You could tuck it in the front of a fabric book! I think I will print one of these out on fabric to include in a textile piece or it would be a wacky quilt label like the one below.

I really like how each card looks a little different and they have been battered and bruised a bit. You can print the cards out on the website.

If you are interested in Art and/or Studio journal browse the category here.
