Quilled flowers card

Have you seen a quilled card? Have you ever try to make one? If not, you should! It is actually easier than it looks and it is a lot of fun. :) Just trying small and simple will get you hooked!

Here is one of my quilled projects: Mother's Day card. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Flowers are very easy and probably the most common to quill. You can make a whole bunch in no time. But you can get as detailed as you want and as dimensional as you desire.

What do you think? If you try to make one yourself, please link in in comments!

Thanks for looking!

CPS challenge card - 1st!

     Presenting: my first challenge card:)

     I decided to take a part in CPS challenge this week. Because I am in love with all the butterflies stamps and punches, I had to incorporate them into this design.

    Thanks for looking!

The Best Friends Card

          Discovering new things is exciting and inspiring. Especially for a beginner scrapbooker and paper crafter. :) When I got a white chalk ink at JoAnn's store the other day, I had no idea how to use it. I just started stamping on different colors cardstock paper scraps. It turns out that white chalk ink stamps beautifully on dark colors ( reminder - I am a beginner here:) ).
        Inspired by that, I created the following card:

        I stamped the border on teal cardstock and using Fiskars' Victorian edge scissors - I finished decorating the background piece. I used two sizes of the same tag template to create the center of the card. I also stamped the butterflies with chalk ink, which peaks from underneath the cut out ones. :)

       This card celebrates the friendship that my Husband and I share. I am the luckiest woman in the whole world to have my Husband as my BEST FRIEND. :)

Thank-you card

            So here is the deal. Not too long ago I found an amazing blog: www.lollychops.com. Lolly, the owner, is an amazing crafter and designer. And she is absolutely hilarious! Just watch her tutorial videos! :) I love her butterfly projects. I spent a lot of time going through her archives and that's when the world of paper crafts opened infront of me :)
            Since then I found lots of great websites and  blogs and learned techniques, like paper piecing and stamping. I decided to give it a shot and made this card. 

            Not bad for a first one, huh? :) I love the freshness and Spring-y feeling of this card.
