...and take a look at Lin's printing. She has the most exquisite printing I have seen...I would love to print like this. (Lin...your own printing would look great on your cards)
It's great to see other quillers work in person and especially Lin's. I have always loved the look of her hand-cut (by shredder I think) paper which adds a nice detail to the edge. And her coils are super sturdy....I did not expect that from hand-cut paper. I've taken a lot of pictures so I can show you all of the details in Lin's cards and also because I wanted to test out the settings on my new camera too.
I love both cards Lin.....thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful 2011

Very nice cards Lin and of course Cheryl. You are both very talented. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all....
Oh what a sweet surprise that must have been to get those. That teddy bear is just adorable. I would have chosen to keep it also :)
ReplyDeleteSuch very nice cards! I especially love the little, modern trees. Happy New Year, Cheryl and Lin!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see that you have received the package already! Yay!! I've been wondering if you have received it yet or not. It's nice seeing the cards there at your place :).
I'm so happy to know that you love my handwriting hehe! Some of my friends even think that I stamp the wordings on some of the cards I made instead of writing on it. LOL! That came as a surprise to me! I'm flattered as well hehe! :)
Yes, I cut the paper using the mini paper shredder to make those quilled teddy bear and Christmas tree. I must say that I can't imagine doing quilling without the paper shredder now. It's so convenient! :) Do you cut your paper strips using razor blades or do you buy store pack quilling strips for quilling? I guess my quilled creations will always have those rough textures at the edges because I'm too lazy to cut the paper by hand and buying them would cost more money. So shredding is my best option for now :)
Happy New Year Cheryl!!!! Hope you'll find more joy, happiness and success in the new year! :)
Happy New Year to everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt is neat to see your cards on my mantle isn't it Lin. I do use store bought quilling paper...usually from Lake City Crafts. I work next door to a store that sells some of it and the rest I order on-line. It is quite reasonably priced here in Canada and even cheaper if you can buy it in the US. I would love to try the shredder though so maybe I will do that this year.

The little christmas trees are adorable! They kinda remind me of cheeky little elves' hats.
ReplyDeleteMerry christmas Cheryl and Lin!
