I'd like to thank all my previous readers of Crafting Creatures and any new ones who've found me here by giving you my quilled Thank You card. It's a printable PDF with score/cut marks to make a 6" x 4" card. It'll be for sale in my Etsy shop afterwards, so grab it while it's free.
I also designed a matching fillable envelope (simply type in the recipient's name). It has score marks and trimming outline as well.
I have always loved the retro look of banner ribbons, a vintage look that's come back in style big time. I used my Silhouette digital die cutter to cut the banner, then shaped it just so. A simple die punch made the flowers which I sculpted with a burnisher. The quilling is 3D, because I didn't glue it all down so it's more free flowing, casting soft shadows. Lastly I shot a photo of the layout, then added my text following the curve. I thought brides and grooms could also use this card to give their guests because yellow and grey seems to be quite a popular combination lately.
Until Aug 16, 2013, if you leave your email in a comment below, I'll send you a downloadable link for my printable card. If you have time, I'd be grateful for your thoughts on my new work, how it prints on your printer, or how the recipient enjoyed it – thanks!
Thanks for the free card, and good luck with the new blog. I think your mystery box in the "All Things Paper" book is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks SO much Stephanie! You're my first commenter on my new blog and you've made my day with such a compliment :D I remember seeing your work after Ann Martin blogged about your beautiful book folding techniques. I laughed so hard reading about your spider re-enactment!

Hola Normangelica! I'm sorry but I don't live in LA so I don't know where one can buy quilling supplies. I buy mine from Amazon because I don't sell supplies. Best of luck!

ReplyDeleteHello Cam, I'm happy to hear you are practicing quilling in Pachuca and hope it does eventually grow in popularity. I'm sorry I can't suggest places in LA to buy materials because I don't live there. I hope you'll be able to source it via the internet.
