Altered vintage book page paper clips

Hello lovely crafty friends, hope you are well! I am back again to share another DT creation for Linda Israel using the gorgeous 'Outrageous Orange' printable journal kit. This time I have created some altered paper clips using vintage book pages. You can find the fabulous tutorial by Paper crafter 45 here: 

Following the above tutorial I tweaked mine to make different sizes, which is super simple to achieve!

The paper clips are hidden at the back of the book page so that it can easily fit onto your journal pages; see photograph below. 

For this particular one I have used one of the pieces of flower ephemera included in the Outrageous Orange kit. 

Here is a close up of the altered vintage book pages. I have used the ephemera in the kit along with some torn pieces of a distressed brown envelope and cheese cloth.

Here is my altered file folder  that I also made using Linda's kit. Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next one! Hugs, Zowie xx

Here I have created an altered file folder using a free basic template from Google images and a piece of Kraft card stock. I distressed the edges of the entire folder using Walnut stain distress ink, then adhered some of the paper from the kit. I also added some of the beautiful ephemera also included. I did however, print off the quote 'fly' as I thought it fitted perfectly with the theme. 

Next I decorated the inside of the file folder using some more of the paper and I also adhered a matching pocket with stored ephemera. 

Finally, I decorated the back panel of the folder; all edges of paper have been distressed using a distressing tool and Walnut stain distress ink. 

Here I have added another of my DT creations; an altered vintage book page paper clip. You can find the blog post HERE

Bella Rose Garden Collection

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for Linda Isreal. I have made a vintage envelope pocket and tag using the stunning Bella Rose Garden collection. 

I created this envelope pocket using a plain brown envelope and adhered these beautiful papers from the Bella Rose Garden collection. I have distressed all edges using a Tim Holtz paper distressor and Vintage Photo distress ink to keep my project old and vintage looking. 

                                       

I also made a tag to fit inside the pocket using co-ordinating paper from the same collection. 

Here I have made a small floral collage using baby pink Sweetheart blossom and  white Cherry blossom. I also added some cheese cloth, white pearl stamens and die cut leaves from M&C Boutique. 

Finally, I added a sweet pink butterfly from the collection and printed out the word 'love letters'.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post. Hugs Zowie xx 

Design Team creations for Linda Israel - Radiant Red collection

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! Today I am sharing with you my Design Team project made for Linda Israel using her stunning Radiant Red collection. 

I am so honoured and excited to be part of Linda Israels' fabulous Design Team.

Here I have made a mini loaded folio, which is super easy to make! 

I started with a plain gold pre-scored card and adhered these beautiful papers from the collection using double sided tape. I also distressed the edges of the paper using my scissors and Vintage photo Distress ink. 

On the front cover I used a Tim Holtz diamond layering stencil along with Decoart media modelling paste. Once dry, I then added some Picket fence distress paint. I then adhered this beautiful image and poppies from the Radiant Red collection.

There is also a video on my Youtube channel:

On the inside of my mini folio, I have used some more papers from the collection.

I have also decorated the back cover. 

Here are some of the beautiful tags from the collection which I added to the inside of the folio.
