Hey!!

Am on leaves since Christmas and that means lots of time to be dedictaed to my newly developed passion for card making. Though these cards were made last weekend i just didnt get the time to update th blog as i was busy packing for home. Phew! away from the maddening crowd.... thats how i feel being at home sweet home!

Card 1:

So for the first card i have used some patterend paper, the grren card stock is a sheet f handmade paper. i kept the card simple with one big quilled flower. I used my latest quillig strips from Itsy Bity which are acid free but also a little thicker hence i can use them only for bigger patterns, nothing delicate. the Glitter strips are also a purchase from Itsy Bitsy. Finally found a use for them :)

Card 2:

These are 6 fringed flower with a simple flower pot made by creating a dome shape with various quilling strips closely placed with inside folds pasted to the cards. I did not add any greeting to this card to keep it optional for the user.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!

Closer Look

My flatmate is an avid reader and requested for a bookmark. With Christmas fast approaching i decided to gift her a pretty and simple bookmark. At the same time made sure it was vibrant and colourful too just like her personality!

I took a break from the usual quilling - the fringed flowers, folded roses et all. So i took up my project to create an aquarium with some more exotic sea creatures like octopus, jelly fish and the crab. I had seen some of these quilled by some experts. Seeing some blogs and sites gave me some idea and foundation to work on project. The background used was a sheet of light blue sheet that bought out the look of the whole project. It took me a week to complete this and finally an sharing it with you all. Please drop your comments if you like my work!

Quilling miniatures is an art in itself. It requires quite a lot of precision to get the right size and look.

But the trick is to never give up :)

I have made 2 flower pots with roses. Have a look!

The pots are easy to make. i have used the pearlised 3mm quilling strips atleast 3 of same colour and then pushed the center with a quilling tool or a toothpick/pen to get the pot. tap the bottom on the floor to make it stand. Add some glue inside to make it hard and set it aside. Folded roses were made with 1/3 a strip of a 5 mm coloured quilling strip. The leaves and stems are made by folding a green strip and gluing it to make to it stronger. Then cut along a sharp end to get the grass look.

It was a challenge to make the roses and the grass stand in the pot so i used a 3mm brown strip and rolled it along a toothpick then cut the rolled strips into tiny parts to add volume to the pot as a base. And Voila you got yourself a pretty flower pot!

Cheers

Tis the season to be Jolly.....la la la ....la la la la....

Yo people.... its Christmas time.... so i made a few for the festive season.. :) these are for my special friends.... i hope they like these.... :)

i like the pink one specifically.

Cheers!

This was for my sweetheart. So the red..

here are all the cards together. dont they look just gorgeous...all the pretty colours :)

I wasn't able to work with my last blog template... so spent the weekend to a find a new look! i think its really pretty.....what do you say? :)

I had been planning to try some folded roses with quilling strips for long but somehow always thought that these were little difficult to make. i would see them being used in other peoples creations and just sigh. And finally i gave a shot at it. thanks to some instruction i found online via blogs :)

I had a cut out of a handmade green paper with a lace border and i used just 3 roses. The pink one, being a little bigger than the 2 red roses. for some add on i used the green leaves look. just fold a quilling strip and cut it diagonally to get a pointed tip. both the parts can be used like i have done here. Red tight coils of 1/4 length of the strip have been used along the leaves. The pink bell flowers are made with 1/2 of the strip length with tiny white tight coils in center.

I hope you like this one. i have finally laid this cut out on a maroon card stock :)

For my parents anniversary this year i couldn't think of a better gift than a quilled card befitting the occasion....
