Red Zinnias #2 Library Pocket and Tags

Howdy!

 

Today's share is a lovely vintage style library pocket and tag set I created for my Etsy shop.  You can find the link over in the side bar.

 

 

This set started life out as a manila file folder, a old book, and some packing paper.  You have to love junk journaling!!! 

 

Both the tags and the library pocket are cut using my Accucut machine.  Leave I comment if you would like me to start listing some of these die cuts in my shop so you can create your own pocket and tags.

 

I started out by coffee dying the tags and pocket.  This tag was stamped with the ledger stamp from the Paper Work stamp set from Prima.  Then I layered the scrap of red polka dot cardstock on it.  Next I set a black eyelet into tag.  Then I grabbed a piece of vintage book paper and stamped the Zinnia's from the Cottage Bouquet stamp set.  After I colored them, I tore the paper to fit my tag.  The final touches where the bits of ribbon, a button and twine to complete the tag. 

 

The pocket was done in much the same way.  I stamped it with the Vintage Notes stamp set in black ink.  Next I cut a strip of brown wrapping paper and machine stitched the red polka dot cardstock onto it.  After I glued it to the front of the pocket, I wrapped it with black gingham ribbon and tied a bow.  I stamped and colored the zinnias on another piece of old book page.  Then I tore it, and layered it onto brown cardstock.  I stamped the number 2 onto a piece of craft cardstock, and attached it to the colored image with a black eyelet and tied it with some black twine.  All that was left was to glue it to my pocket!
