Upgrading my blog....to accommodate more paper crafts

When I discovered quilling last year I made this blog to keep a log of my creations so this blog was dedicated to only quilling (hence the URL "www.quillingprojects.com". Slowly after that I started to play with paper and learn to create much more like cards, paper cutting, drawing and even watercolours.

After I got better at doing other paper crafts I wanted to blog about them but I didn't wanted to put it up here as this was a quilling blog. So I created another blog to be able to share my other paper crafts with everyone. But then I realised that it's difficult to maintain 2 blogs specially with a full time job and commuting for 3 hours a day. I ended up neglecting this blog because I needed to develop the other one. I wasn't happy about that.

So today I decided to upgrade this blog to accommodate my other paper crafts projects. It will still have quilling as a main subject because rolling paper strips is still my great passion but there will be other crafty creation scattered around.

I hope my fans will not be to disappointed and my other projects will inspire people as much as quilling (and maybe more).

Here are some cards I've done for some Swap-bots exchanges.

While I was visiting Vietnam I saw some amazing paper cut pop-up cards. There is where I fell in love with this type of paper craft.
This is my first attempt.

I made this for a swap-bot called quick flower postcard swap. So I just made a quick one.

105/365 - Quilled Happy Birthday card

I love quilling. I specially like the 3D texture, the feeling on my finger tips when I press down to stick the shapes it's feels me with great pleasure. Quilling helps me relax and wind down form a long day at work.

Quilling it's a wonderful craft.

I made this card for a swap bot again. (I'm really into swapping at the moment). The person I had to send it to makes beautiful cards using 3D cuttings. I made this card specially for her so she can experience another type of crafting using 3D shapes . Who knows maybe she will take up quilling. He he I love converting crafters into quillers.

Weeeeeee're having fun

This is a card that I did for the second challenge of the week on 365 Cards Day 105 - Mega movie Monday

The shapes that I used in this card were inspired from the "Quilling design-a-day Calendar".

Recycled flower card

Oh it's been so long since my last quilling.

I had been having such a busy period with getting married, going for a long honeymoon, starting a new job, commuting 3 hours a day, looking for a new house, going to the gym regularly....oh I need more hours in the day.

Well... I guess I have good excuses, anyway.... :-)

This flower is another piece made from recycled shredded paper. I'm really into recycling and using free materials for my cards.
