Merry Christmas

 

Christmas Flowers

Flowers and flower arrangements are a big part of any Christmas table decoration and here quilled flowers and foliage create wonderful cards for loved ones - instructions found in Crafts Beautiful magazine pages 65 to 67.

Festive Finery

Making patterns with quilled shapes is very relaxing and is suitable for Christmas Bauble cards and decorations. The quilling sits in a recess where the aperture is lifted from the background with foam pads. These pretty baubles are in the October issue of Crafts Beautiful magazine pages 12 - 13 and also on the cover of the magazine!

Frosty Looks

Snowflakes can use many different techniques in quilling allowing so many variations no two are ever the same! These snowflakes can be found in the September issue of Crafts Beautiful magazine on pages 12-13

Christmas Pudding Card

This card celebrates the Christmas pudding with beads stitched on to the brown card for a sparkly touch.

Favour Bag Quilling

Small favour bags or gift bags are ideal for table decorations, and quilling is of course ideal to decorate the bags with! Here my quilling is on the cover of Crafts Beautiful magazine December 2017, out now. 

Christmas Card Workshop

A fun Christmas cardmaking workshop last week when we tried out "TeePee" cards and dimensional cards. 

Geometric Snowflakes

A variation on the usual quilled snowflakes can be found in the latest issue of Crafts Beautiful magazine November issue out now. I've used a Border Buddy Tool ™ to make diamonds of paper, then they are glued together for a geometric design. Although its a bright sunny autumn day here in the UK it's not too early to planning snowflake cards and decorations......

PaperCrafter Magazine

Autumn is here but its still Christmas in the magazines! My quilled elf is on the cover of the latest PaperCrafter magazine and "Expert advice" from me on budget cardmaking inside!

Quilled Christmas Baubles

Crafts Beautiful magazine Christmas Special is out now (yes it is still September!) and features my quilled baubles on the cover and full project with steps on pages 24 and 25. The quilling is set in the bauble shaped apertures of the cards which makes them a slightly different design I hope quillers will like. 

August Bank Holiday Christmas Crafting

It's quite hard to think of Christmastime on this sunny and warm August Bank Holiday here in the UK! Generally our Bank Holidays are cold, raining and about staying indoors, however my quilled robins are on the cover of PaperCrafter magazine issue 112( Robins were first seen in Crafts Beautiful magazine last year) and my die cut forest card is also on the cover. The forest card can be found on page 89 in the feature "Ask the Experts".
