Canning label template in five cheery colors

Canning has been a theme the past few weeks so I’m excited to share these free printable canning labels with you. My pretty floral printable canning labels come in five colors — red, blue, green, purple, and yellow — for your jams, salsa, and relish. You can print my free labels for mason jar lids, or try my optional personalized canning labels, too!

It all started with a canning night from iheartcrafting, a Chicago ladies’ crafting group. Hostess Lisa bought large boxes of lovely blueberries, fresh green tomatoes, and flavorful apricots from a local farmer’s market. We all pitched in jars, lids, pots, and labels and canned enough blueberry jam, apricot jam, and pickled dill green tomatoes for each of us to take home five canning jars.

Next up: Northern Michigan. I brought personalized canning labels as a hostess gift for my good friend, Jennie. She’s been learning all about canning, including raspberry freezer jam that needs no boiling …so much easier and no boiled fruit.

So now that you’re properly in the canning mood, let’s get to the labels! My printable canning labels were inspired by the cute label designs by Kendra at A Sonoma Garden. My canning labels design involved scanning in a swatch of Anna Maria Small Gathering fabric in citrus…

…then I cropped in close, changed the colors in Photoshop, and typed in the labels. NOTE: Some of the photos say “Dykens Family” but the free downloadable template says “Yummy Homemade.”

You can download my free printable canning labels template in the “Supplies” section below. There are two versions of free labels: (1) blank labels for handwriting, and (2) Yummy Homemade blueberry jam, strawberry jam, salsa, and relish. You’re more than welcome to use this printable canning label template for free with the request that anyone using this template or design post a comment below.
