~ quilled flower card {thinking of you}


~Hello everyone
I am going deep in to Christmas quilling mode {with nativities and cards)
so I won't have much time to blog but I have 7 quilled flower cards that 
I did a few weeks ago that I can share with you


I designed a {very simple} stem in photo shop that I can use as a 
base to create quick and easy cards for a variety of occasions



all I need to do is change the flower and sentiment
to create a new card


I will show you the rest of them over the next 6 posts

you will see more pictures than words {if any}
so I can have more time to quill

~ quilled penguin card


 ~ good morning
I often get people asking me if I can quill a certain graphic or logo from a picture
so when I saw this graphic on line I thought I would practice with this cute penguin
it doesn't always translate well but for this little penguin 
I was happy with the initial results
 

this was my first shot at it which isn't too bad
but trying to duplicate them was making me go nuts


each one was turning out different which I find REALLY frustraiting 
but I did learn a lot from the process


I need to slow down and take more time when making my shapes 
especially when I want them to look the same

~ card for Sandie Wandie

 ~ whewwww
told you I had lots to share


this is a quilled birthday cake I made for my good friend Sandie
{or Sandie Wandie as I like to call her}


 the cake stand was done in photo shop
I wasn't sure how it would turn out once the cake was glued on but I like it


I have a feeling you will be seeing more of these cakes and stands

and I am not done yet
still lots more cards to show you....

~ quilled purple Malaysian flower


~ I was recently asked to make a card with a purple flower on it....

 

 I immediately thought of the Malaysian flower that is all the rage right now
I went with my old stand-by vase that I usually make....
 

and of course, a little bling never hurts
