Quilled thank you cards and creations

Put together some thank you cards for my relatives.  I had such an awesome holiday, I wanted to make them something special.

This is a quilled creation, my first frameable piece, a collection of spring flowers inspired directly from Georgia's Quilling Planet.  It has fringed flowers, quilled flowers with fringed centres, flower buds, berries, wheat, grasses and scrolls.  Used shades of pink and purple.

Happy with the finished result, want to do something similar for myself.. maybe bigger.

I made a card of quilled roses, my Aunty loves pink roses inspired directly from this paperweight which is lovely.  I used large pink spiral roses and smaller quilled roses with daisys, leaves, spirals, open coils and pearls.

The card itself is like a frame, with layers of thin cardboard for strength and corrugated cardboard for depth.  It is wrapped in thick paper to hide all the layering of cardboard, but you can see some within in the circle frames.  I used two circular shapes (peanut butter jars and the like) to create the paper frame layers.

Inside I themed the text and verse with the pink card.  Looks pretty!

I copied a child's board book to allow the card to open and close well, looks like a tidy finish.

More quilled flowers for this dark purple themed card, centred around a recent photo.  Inspiration taken from some lovely handmade etsy creations and some flower ideas from martha stewart.

 Includes quilled roses, daisys, quilled flowers, bell flowers, fringed flowers, pearls and tight coils.

 Themed text and verse.

Card is made of thick pearl paper around thick card.

And finally a cute and fun thank you card directly inspired from something similar by Moxie fab world.

I used 1cm thick quilling paper strips instead of washi tape for the rainbow effect.  Used a variety of heart shapes and cut them out with a scalpel.  The thank you text was sourced somewhere, reversed and copied onto the back and cut out.

I made the top layer of heart cut outs sit slightly above the rainbow layer with strips of thin cardboard.  Such a fun card.

A Wedding and Birthday Card and Cinnamon Scrolls

Put together this accordian style card for my brother and sister in law.  I started with a watercolour by D as inspiration for colours and the shape of the card and used his painting as the background image.  Uses tissue paper for the main rose and quilling for the petals.  Found it neater to use a non slanted script as opposed to my usual slant.  Made a custom boxy envelope to protect the elements on the front.  Card closes flat.

Put together this fun dinosaur birthday card for a four year old boy.  His party was dinosaur themed and I put this together in an hour for a bit of fun.  Virtually copied from this design here.

Seriously craving American style cinnamon sticky scrolls since we got back.  Followed this recipe and they turned out amazing.. Most were gone that afternoon.. best straight out of the oven.  Not overly sweet but soft.
