Quilled roses

This card was made in a jiffy. I just had all the right things in front of me at the right time!! The cut-out that you see here is actually taken from a wedding card. It blended really well with the cardstock. I had the roses in my toolbox and all that was needed wast to put all of them together :) If you note carefully the border is made out of the small cutouts from a border punch that we usually discard.

Quilled flower pot

After a long time I made this quilled flower pot for my friend on her b'day. I just love baskets and cute li'l quilled miniatures. Have not tried them much though. Here are the links of some of the baskets and miniatures I made earlier.

Winner's cards

Finally, the cards for the winners of my blog contest are ready :)

The winners had a choice to either choose from any of my handmade cards or to order a customised one. Neha and Hussena wanted a card similar to the handmade roses card that I made. They both loved the roses very much! So here are their cards (center-Neha, right-Hussena)

The 3rd winner, Huzefa, wanted a Birthday card. The brief was to include flowers in the card. I shall post his card in a few days (after he's given the card to the person for whom he ordered it, Don't wanna leak his secret).

UPDATE: View the card I made for Huzefa, here.

There was also a surprise element for the winners. They'll receive the following yummy craft goodies from me. Hope they like it. Looking forward to seeing what they create from it. :)

Quilled roses card

Hello everyone! A new day and a new card.

This card is especially made for Kavitha's Anniversary Celebration Week 3-Inspirational Challenge.

The contest was to CASE a card. Casing means copying the main theme and the layout of the original card, other things like colors, design papers and embellishments can be different as it is not possible to use the same products.

The inspiration was none other than Kavitha's card. Here is my card based on the same theme.

Update: I was chosen among the top 3 designers for the Inspirational Challenge at Kavitha's blog. For details, click here.

Handmade roses - Tutorial & Card

Hey friends, sharing a tutorial of roses which I had learned in my childhood. I had actually learned to make these roses with organdi cloth. I wanted to try them with paper. I have also showcased a card that I made using these roses. Hope you like the tutorial and the card.  :)

I am going to enter this card in Kavitha's blogoversary contest for Guest Challenge :).

Update: I won the Guest Challenge at Kavitha's blog. For details, click here.

 1. Cut squares of 3x3 cm. I have used 7 petals for the bigger rose and 3 for the smaller.

 2. Fold the squares into half.

3. Curl both ends of the petal with the quilling tool as shown below.

4. Make the bud by rolling the petal completely towards one side with the quilling tool. Glue at the end.

5. Assemble the flower by adding one petal at a time. 

6. Add upto 7 petals to make a bigger flower, and 3 for a small one.
