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
