Crafts Beautiful - Quick & Crafty - Let's Make Cards Magazine

Thanks Nicola

Wow that’s gorgeous. Yummy pink too my favourite I’ve been having a dig about this morning and I’ve found loads of my first cards from about four or five years ago. They have brought back so many memories I know I still have some more somewhere I must carry on searching.

I’ve posted some of my old tea bag ones at the bottom of this thread.

Also I’ve just started another thread off here if you want to add any other old cards you have lurking about.

I love how you guys did the roses on those cards. How did you make them?? I never did roses yet either.  I guess I am still at the simple stage for me whe it come to doing quilling.  lol.

OHHHH WOW ICKLE PICKLE AND NIC! Only just got round to looking at this thread as i came across a couple of links to put on here - which i’ll do later - and soon to find cards by you 2 and, I just wanted to say that both of yur cards are STUNNING! nGreat work girlz! Keep it up.

PS If you don’t have a quilling tool and want to try them you can use a cocktail stick instead. It is a little harder to start off than with a quilling tool but you get the same effect. Sometimes in quilling when I want a really tight centre I use a cocktail stick instead, they are really handy

Thanks Sequin

I don’t use quilling that often, but when I do I always enjoy the process. My favourites are butterflies. Here is an ATC I made using them.

Those butterflies are so cute on the ATC.  you did a wonderful job on those.

Wow - what beautiful cards ladies! I’ve never really tried quilling, but the feature in this month’s mag has made me think that perhaps I ought to give it a try. The roses look soo beautiful!

It’s not as difficult as it looks Becki. I find it very relaxing too and totally addictive.You should give it a try

Wow ickle pickle and Nicola J they are fab! i tryed quilling 2 days ago, first atempt wasn’t bad, i did a flower and found it hard getting all the petals the same size, but i did find it relaxing, and will keep doing it. i think quilling gives such a lovely effect.
