Card Christmas Quilling
Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:01:23 +0000
Well, I've got some more Christmas cards, and am now ahead of my one per week, which is a good thing! I have a couple of quilled ones to show, and a couple of cards I made from kits, that aren't quilled, but I did emboss the backgrounds, which really dressed them up. All are embossed with Sizzix Texture plates from set #5. These work really nice, but I use 3 cardstock shims to get them to emboss deeper. This first one is a design by Jane Jenkins © 1983. It is a Christmas caroller, and I used 1/16" wide strips for her. For the 2nd one, I again used Jane Jenkins designs© 1983, but modified it by changing the corner design, and adding more scrolls, and holly leaves. She have quilled mistletoe in the top right corner.On my first video tutorial some of you had requested me to show you how to quill snowflakes. I know it's March but it snowed at my house today so I thought it would be fitting. That way you can get started on your Christmas quilling now :o) You might need the tutorial on how to quill a flower after watching and you can find it HERE. Thanks for watching!
