Quilled Paper Cards!

Quilled Paper Cards!

Quilling is not for the faint of heart!
It takes forever!  But it is so cute!
Check out this rolled paper frame we did a few months back.

I used Astrobrights paper and layered black, white and blue.

Added some torn green at the bottom...like grass

And then cut strips of 1/8" paper.

We used a quilling tool.
(Wholeport has tools and precut paper as well as kits ready to go)

The paper is inserted into the quilling tool slit...

And then twisted around tightly.

Then the paper can be glued...removed and used!
The petals were pinched on one side to make a tear drop shape.

Cuttlebug has made some quilling flower kit dies,
and my sister got me one for my birthday.
(these are way faster than just quilling)

You cut the paper with the die and roll it up!
Then glue it...

And gently press the petals down!

Fast and pretty!

My daughter did the little snail...it was tedious for her.

And then just glued them onto the cards.

Super cute...but rolling takes time!
