Quilling is an art form that uses strips of paper that are rolled and shaped to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled into a coil which is then pressed to form other shapes. I used my Tabletop Paper Cutter to make 1/8" strips of cardstock to make my coils.
By forming the coils into teardrop shapes I was able to make these flowers. I used longer strips to make the larger center flower. The longer the paper strip, the larger the coil becomes.
Some quilling can be simple. Just a few loops added to a punched out image adds more interest. I have also been playing with the glimmer paper lately to add some sparkle to my holiday projects.
My final example is going to be a card for my son's fifth birthday. I made five candles by making teardrops and squares out of the coils. I also used the Stitched Ribbon from Stampin' Up! on all these cards, which is featured in the special at the bottom of this page.
