Triangle Shaped Card

Brighten up the birthday celebration with this simple triangle shaped card! It's made of a green metallic stock card as base and a coordinating glittery cardstock. It was pretty easy to make this card as there is not much embellishments used for decoration. The message "Happy Birthday" was hand stamped on a circle scalloped card and finished off with a gold string on both sides. I think the shape is the element that makes the card more special :)

Quilled Thank You

Here comes a lovely way to show someone your appreciation and gratitude... I believe, a handmade thank you card adds special essence to it! Thank your family and friends for the unexpected wonderful things that they have done in your life by having this lovely quilled thank you card!

For Her...

Every woman loves to receive flowers on their special day since flowers are one of the most prettiest and beautiful creation of God. Including flowers in your gift is an ideal way to make them feel special and loved. So here, I made a floral designed birthday greeting card - perfect for mom, daughter, sister, co-worker, special friend or anyone who adores flowers!

Tiny flowers and stems

I have created three pretty flowers (combination of gold and ivory colors) and embellished with a gold brad on each of the flowers. The stems were made of a strand of brown paper raffia which I saved from trash. :P The end of each paper raffia was tightly twisted and glued on a curvy cornered red card. The other ends were also well glued to hold the flowers firmly.

Finished Card

I often use ribbons on my handmade cards as it enhances the design beautifully. In this card, the flower bouquet is nicely placed over a gold ribbon which also can be treated as a grand base for the flower spreads. The flowers are mounted on an ivory color card which has a decorative border. This design suits for any kind of greetings such as "Thank You", "Congratulations", "Best Wishes", or "On Your Special Day". Here I stamped a simple "Happy Birthday" greeting.

So, come on and make your choice! Make her feel elevated and convey your thoughtfulness by sending this sincerely made card.

I guess the diaper theme will be the least preferred one. I simply chose a baby crawling picture for the back of the bag.

Anniversary Gift

Time for more strips and coils! I was very much excited to make a wonderful gift for one of my friends wedding anniversary. It was their first wedding anniversary…and they both love pets…So, I thought it would be great to create a small animal or bird themed gift for them. Instead of googling, I bought a quilling book titled Twirled Paper by Jacqueline Lee which includes the kit. Yay! now I have a proper twirling wand, paper strips in different colors, glue and cute goggly eyes! Okie, let's come to the making…

(1) A twirly bird

It may look simple and I felt not much twirling work involved…but it took me hours to get those funky feathers! Gluing the bitty bits was the toughest part while making the bird. Overall, it was fun working on its curly tails and colorful feathers!

(2) Spotted butterfly  

This lovely butterfly was the most easiest I would say. At first, I thought its going to be difficult to get the exact size of upper and lower wings…but I was wrong…I made it within an hour! The antennae alone took about five to ten minutes…

(3) Peacock  

This guy is tough! It was challenging to get it done as the peacock's feathers was made with loose curls and it took some time to glue the feathers together in bunches. Next on the list was, the leg and feet with bent knees and "S" shaped neck. Oh not forgetting, the top knot…it was made with just half a inch of strip.

Bird + Butterfly + Peacock = A lightweight wall hanging! 

I'm glad that the couple loved my gift :))

Blooming Fan!

My first quilling experience has given me the confidence to try out more, much better and greater than the first one. The ingredient is - experiment! I did a bunch of search in Google and found out the advanced techniques of quilling. Gosh...! they have something called quilling kit! It has a slotted tool, designer board, quilling cork board, paper strips, and more... sounds great! but I was just a beginner and not afford to buy those stuff at that time. I thought, alright! I better stick to my tools and try something with what I have. Actually, I wanted to create something bigger, bright and colorful! So, my second attempt was a paper quilled fan!

 

My idea was to create a fan that can be lifted and stand...but it was pretty difficult to glue it with a sturdy base...so I glued them on a piece of black cardboard. Oh wait...I didn't let my work unframed! I chose a nice frame style that goes well with the bright colors and give it to my parents as a gift! :)

Passion towards Quilling

Few years back, when I was studying in Singapore, I used to spend my spare time in the library...flipping some craft books, comics etc. One day, I came across a quilling book (can't recall the title) and amazed looking at the decorative artwork...how simple it is! with just simple paper strips rolled and shaped..you can make almost anything! flowers, alphabets, animal, tiny bugs, even aliens! woah ~ like a wonderland! That was the moment where I started to look deep into arts and craftwork. Quilling involves simple technique but you need A LOT of patience! even if you want to make a small swirl! Well, this is what I have tried after getting some intro to the art of quilling. 

I made my own paper strips (tiring task) and came out with the above result! A butterfly on a Compact Disc :)
