<br />
This year, Easter Sunday falls on April 8th and with just under a month to go, we've noticed some exceptional examples of Easter quilling on the <a href="http://quillingcafe.ning.com/">Quilling Cafe network</a> already. We thought it would be nice to see what other great quilled Easter creations you can come up with, so for our first ever competition we want you to upload your Easter creations for the chance to win some card-making goodies. We've got some blank cards, envelopes (not pictured) and die-cut paper up for grabs for the winner.<br />
<br />
To be in with a chance of winning, you need to be a member of the <a href="http://quillingcafe.ning.com/" target="_blank">Quilling Cafe network</a>. It's free to join and full of quilling artists from beginners to seasoned artists, but everyone has an equal chance of winning.<br />
<br />
To enter, just upload a photo to the network of your Easter creation before April 8th. The most popular photo on Easter Sunday wins the prize!<br />
<br />
So how do you find out if your photo is popular? The Quilling network has a very cool <a href="http://quillingcafe.ning.com/leaderboards" target="_blank">"Most popular" section</a> where you can see who the most active members are and how popular content is on the site. Content that people have commented on and shared is recorded by the system and becomes more popular, so the more people that like your photo the more likely you are to win!<br />
<br />
So, what are you waiting for? Good luck!<br />

<br />
I'm really excited to announce the launch of <a href="http://quillingcafe.com/">the first social network</a> made specially for quillers like us.<br />

The choices are limitless and all in one place.<br />
<br />
Quilling is a rare art form and is not known worldwide like other crafts. Is not as popular as painting or embroidery or jewellery making and the bunch of us who quill can feel lonely. At least that's how I felt sice the moment I discovered quilling. I very rarely see any quilling supplies in shops and never seen any books in libraries. There wasn't a specific place where I could ask questions or or get tips about how to quill. Which one is the best quilling tool? What's the difference between a slotted quilling tool and a needle point one? Where can I buy good quality supplies? What are the best quilling books? This are few of the many questions I asked myself in the past and had to spend ages online finding the answers. I many time wished that there was a place where I could just ask the question, go and do some quilling and come back few hours later and the answer will be there. I couldn't find a place like that so I made it myself (with help form my lovely husband, Andy) .<br />
<br />

I made this framed quilling piece for one of my neighbour and give it to her as a Christmas present. She works near to where I work and sometimes she gives me a lift in the morning.

I made this origami box to accommodate 2 of <a href="http://quillingprojects.blogspot.com/2012/01/last-snowflakes-this-winter.html">the snowflakes</a> I've quilled and gave it as a present to one of my work colleagues.<br />
<br />
The white cut-out on the top of the lid supposed to be a snowflake. The problem (that turn out not to a problem in the end) was that I didn't fold the paper enough times and it ended with 4 sides instead of 6 (as a snowflake should have). But I'm happier that it came out like this because it fits and looks better on the box.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big fun of Christmas presents as most of the ones I received haven't brought me any joy. So I normally don't buy presents as I don't want to waste my money on something the other person might never use. But I do like crafting small things and give to people.<br />

Is that time of the year again when we decorate our house and the Christmas tree. I personalty have a small tree this year so I wouldn't need loads of quilled snowflakes to fill it. <br />

I discovered this image on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/quilling-swaps/pool/66745586@N08/">my flickr group</a>. I used to watch Betty Boop cartoons when I was young so the image caught my attention. As the image is just a small icon in the group and it looks so much like the original my next thought was: " Hmm, what is this image doing in here as the group is mainly for quilling and paper crafts and this is just a photo of a cartoon?". I clicked on the image to see more of this person photos not even thinking that this can be quilled. Little did I know. When I got to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miguelguiter/6100006691/in/photostream">original art work</a> I was confused for few seconds:"is this really quilling?" I thought "no it can't be" and then boom I realized "this is actually quilling. I am totally amazed.<br />
<br />
But that's not it, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/miguelguiter/">Miguel Guiter</a> has more amazing quilled work.<br />

<p>Cross stitch is another craft I picked up lately. It's so much easier to carry around in my handbag and do some while waiting 20 minutes for the train or while having a coffee in a coffee shop. I found that is even nice to make some stitches while in bed, just before going to sleep. Since it doesn't require to much brain work it sends me to sleep nice and relaxed.<br />
<br />
This is one of my first projects. I made it for my friends wedding that happened last month. I wanted to make something special for them but I didn't have to much time on my hand or motivation as I was in the moving house mode. So one week before their wedding I was looking on the internet for ideas and I came across <a href ="http://www.freepatterns.com">this cool website</a> where they have lots of free patterns. <a href="http://www.freepatterns.com/detail.html?code=FX00165&cat_id=358">Here</a> is the link to the pattern. I added their wedding date and initials to personalise it.<br />
<br />
The end result was meant to be in a nice frame but I was so busy, didn't have any time to buy one. So around 12 o'clock, on the night before the wedding, few hours before the flight (the wedding was in Turkey), I had to make up a frame for it. So, half asleep, I took a hard backing card, few bits of paper, a hole-punch and a ribbon and came out with this. <br />
<br />
I'm quite pleased with the result taking in account little time I had. And I think my wedded friends were pleased too.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-85134738828195644782011-11-10T15:09:00.002+00:002011-11-10T15:13:02.592+00:00Watercolour poppy<div align="center" style="padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elenatgeezer/6309862599/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6216/6309862599_5406433982.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" width="350px" /></a></div><br />

Finally the moving is almost done. Few more boxes left to sort out but the main stress is gone. Is time to go back on making art.<br />
<br />
Now, you are probably wondering how come there is a watercolour on a quilling blog. Well...you see, I am one of those people who gets board very quickly, who starts a project and rarely finishes it. Although quilling is my first and only love I am trying to learn to do other things and now is watercolour.<br />

I've done just few pieces so far and this two are the best ones. I'm really having fun water-colouring but I have to say is harder that I thought. But I'm not giving up, at least not yet :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-15657477110023754792011-09-16T13:20:00.003+01:002011-09-16T13:24:18.498+01:00Moving house<div align="center" style="padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elenatgeezer/6049494212/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6078/6049494212_9890b825b7.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" width="350px" /></a></div><br />
I am currently moving hose so it will be a while until I'll make anything again and have time to post it. My house is box city (you all know how it is) with no furniture as me and my husband moved into an unfurnished house. So there is a long way to go until we settle there. <br />
<br />
This card is the last one I did before all this madness started.<br />

I have to say I like my little fringing machine. It took me a while to get used to it but I like the perfect fringing that comes out on the other side. It was a bit pricey but a good investment in the end.<br />

<p>What can I say I really like quilling flowers. <br />
<br />
I have to make some more cards to send to my swap-bot partners and then I want to go big. I want to try to make framed quilling. I never made anything bigger than a card so I'm a bit scared but I'll do it... soon.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-73674694628412205432011-08-16T14:16:00.002+01:002011-08-16T14:19:01.896+01:00110/365 - Best wishes<div style="padding: 3px;" align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elenatgeezer/5903129480/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5196/5903129480_935dc08893.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" width="350px" /></a></div><br />

Oh I didn't blog for a long time now. I've been extremely busy lately with my work relocation and summer it's not a good time for making crafts anyway. Summer is way too precious here in England. We have very few sunny days in this country and I need to make the most of it so at the moment I'm out most of the time. And quilling is not something that I would take out for a picnic in the park. I don't trust this windy weather with my tiny strips. Deep down inside I kinda want the winter back so I can quill every night again.<br />
<br />
Anyway this post is to say thank you to <a href="http://www.crimsoncloud.co.uk/">Crimson Cloud</a> and <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-113-tuesday-trio.html">365 Cards</a> for this lovely prize.<br />
<br />
I won this prize on a competition, a while ago, on 365 Cards and my card (underneath) made me one of the spotlight designers. Yay that was definitely a great day for me.<br />

<br />
There was a film theme that week on 365 Cards. That means every day the designer put up a movie poster and we had to make a card related to that specific poster.<br />
<br />
For <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-106-mega-movie-tuesday.html">Day 106</a> they had this poster.<br />
<br />

I used a little girl stamp on my card to match the girls on the poster and then I used a multicolour background specially concentrating on green. I am quite happy with the outcome.<br />

On <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-108-mega-movie-thursday.html">Day 108</a> we had this poster to work with:<br />

I'm bursting with desire to make cards at the moment. I singed up for 10 swaps on <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/">swap-bot</a>. A real mad period of creation after a looooong brake.<br />
<br />
I made this card for <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-104-super-sketchy-sunday.html">Super Sketchy Sunday Day 104</a> on 365Cards and I'll send it to a swap-bot member for an handmade card exchange.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-67322702729513146412011-07-04T08:24:00.000+01:002011-08-15T17:48:34.828+01:0085/365 - Bamboo<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="center" style="padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elenatgeezer/5662910402/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5105/5662910402_d6965e3a13.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" width="350px" /></a></div><br />
When I was in Vietnam for my honeymoon I saw bamboo for the first time in real life. It was growing everywhere, from woods to peoples gardens and road side.<br />
They are using it in constructions.<br />
<br />
It so was exciting to be there. There were so many flowers, trees, plants that I haven't seen them before (that was my first time in Asia). My whole month in there was an adventure discovering new plants everyday and being amazed by everything.<br />
<br />
The two most unexpected trees that I discovered were the banana and the coffee tree.<br />
<br />
Banana tree had the most unusual flower. It was totally unexpected and hard for me to imagine the bananas coming out from that dark red flower.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H0QCVQX9Xrs/TfjdG0GBoaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/HdB4vk9WZ_A/s1600/banana+flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H0QCVQX9Xrs/TfjdG0GBoaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/HdB4vk9WZ_A/s1600/banana+flower.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The coffee tree.... well.... if someone wouldn't have told me that was a coffee tree I would have never guessed. The flowers had an amazing strong smell and the coffee beans tasted nothing like coffee. Apparently the beans get the yummy taste after being dried and roasted.<br />
<br />

This is another vintage card that I made for a swap-bot swap.<br />
<br />
For this swap I had to send a postcard with a flower on it. The person I had to send to stated on her profile that she totally adores stuff with Eiffel Tower so I made this specially for her. I hope she'll like it.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-39523438090606019762011-07-02T08:37:00.000+01:002011-08-15T17:48:34.835+01:0093/365 - Vintage<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="center" style="padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elenatgeezer/5810685941/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5182/5810685941_9202e7fd65.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" width="350px" /></a></div><br />
I made this card for a swap-bot. The person I had to send it stated that she likes vintage looks. So I made this using some paper that came with a wicked craft magazine that I bought few weeks ago from Manchester.<br />
<br />
The rose was inspired my from DayDreams blog.<br />

I made this card for a swap-bot exchange. I love flowers and this was really fun to make and it's one of my favourite. <br />
<br />
After I made I was wondering on one of the sites that I regularly check, <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/">365 cards</a>, and saw that my card it's perfect for one of their challenge <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-98-lucky-13.html">Lucky 13</a>. <br />
<br />
For this challenge we had to have exactly 13 of the same item on our card. I looked at my card and realised that "Happy Birthday" has exactly 13 letters.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com051.5001524, -0.1262361999999939151.5001524 -0.12623619999999391tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634874019678360376.post-34882805799285194882011-06-30T12:15:00.002+01:002011-08-15T17:48:34.840+01:00Upgrading my blog....to accommodate more paper craftsWhen 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
I hope my fans will not be to disappointed and my other projects will inspire people as much as quilling (and maybe more).<br />
<br />
Here are some cards I've done for some <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/">Swap-bots</a> exchanges.<br />
<br />

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.<br />
This is my first attempt.<br />

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

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. <br />
<br />
Quilling it's a wonderful craft.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Oh it's been so long since my last quilling.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Well... I guess I have good excuses, anyway.... :-)<br />

This flower is another piece made from recycled shredded paper. I'm really into recycling and using free materials for my cards.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042189894463526302noreply@blogger.com12
