I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love free stuff. Well I love it, and I enjoy sharing my free resources with you. Ever since I read BittBox’s tutorial on how to make awesome grungy paper textures I wanted to do it myself. Finally I found the time to play with it. Once I had started there was no holding me back. I was looking through all my old paper stocks to find some more special textures to scan and tweak in Photoshop. In order to achieve an even grungier look some of the paper sheets were “marinated” in tea, folded and dried before scanning them. To be honest these freebies are the ones that took the longest to complete, but it was good, although slighlty dirty, fun to make them. I hope you enjoy them. As always I encourage you to send me your designs as I am really curious as to what you used them for.
There are a total of 10 free high resolution textures divided into 2 sets. Almost all paper textures are a stunning 3000px wide (well 9 out of 10) and you have the chance to see previews (with the exact dimensions) of them all below.

    What is your terms of use?

  18. fudgegraphics

    @Inger:

    The textures are free to use in personal and commercial projects. No credit is needed. The only things you are not allowed is to claim them as you’re own or sell the source files as such. Basically you can use them as you like.

  21. Poster Printing | PrintPlace.com

    These are great – esp. with the economy in its rough shape. I bet a lot of designers will be using paper bag motifs to show how people are struggling with losing jobs and such. The second plain paper one will be great for a bulletin board background. Thanks for the freebies!

    I found the best thing to my friend’s birthday… It’s really hard to find cool and still unique.
    So today I saw this thing from ZTARLET on facebook where you can name a real star in the sky and have the certificate and a teddy bear sent to you and pay it by a single SMS. So awesome :)
