Night and Day quilling

Oh yes, yes, more new papers from April's Mini Catalogue!! Have you got the message yet that I love everything in the upcoming new catalogue??

As I was making yesterday's card I thought about this new paper which is part of the Night & Day Speciality paper pack. What makes it a Speciality Pack? As well as the expected fantastic quality double sided papers, you also get two 12cm x 12cm sheets of black spotty printed window sheets (thick acetate)!!

I made this card the same way as the Vintage Vogue En Francais card, but instead of the black strip I used a die cut shape. The sentiment from Fun & Fast Notes was punched out using the Word Window punch and layered onto some Mellow Moss punched out using the Small Oval punch.

Another skewiff photo!!

Vintage Vogue En Francais quilling

Quite a while ago I bought a quilling book (as some of you know I adore quilling) and one of the projects just stood out from the rest. That project is my inspiration for this card.

My base card is a landscape A6 card in Basic Black. The So Saffron paper is from the Tea & Crumpets designer paper range which I over-stamped with the En Francais background stamp in Creamy Caramel. I added a slim strip of black card to act as a background for the quilling and, in black, stamped the 'friends' sentiment from Vintage Vogue (ANOTHER set from the up-coming April Mini Catalogue!) on Very Vanilla, layered with Always Artichoke and Basic Black. I made the quilling strips from Basic Black, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla and left-overs of the over-stamped So Saffron for the flowers.

Is this photo skewiff or is it me.........?(!!)

Birdhouse with quilling

Sooo cute!! Told you there would be more quilling!

The house and quilled flower is cut from Tall Tales designer papers, and the quilled leaves and stem are Old Olive cardstock.

The roof looks a bit wonky in the picture, but in real life it is straight - honest!!

Quilled Happy Birthday

I absolutely love quilling, so decided to have a go at combining it with Stampin' Up - I think it works!

My base card is So Saffron and Old Olive, and the papers are from the Tall Tales and Tea & Crumpets ranges. The label and greeting is from the Sale-A-Bration offer and is called Vintage Labels. It is free when you spend £45 in the main catalogue - fabulous!! Contact me for more details.



The quilled flower is made with a fringed strip of designer paper and a quilling tool. The leaves are strips of Old Olive cardstock. Now I know it is possible to quill with the thicker papers and cardstock, I think you will be seeing more!
