Hello my lovely readers Welcome back after the festive week. Last week was so busy with all the preparations for Rakshabandhan and celebratory mood that it took me a while to post a new blogpost. I have done few wedding invites in quilling and this one was for my college friend. I received a customized order for a handmade wedding card from Preksha. She wanted me to design a card with quilling to be given to Ankur's family. So, I made a quick card with the details requested by her. Here's how the card looked at final step. Since she knew how lazy I am at such works even though I enjoy doing it, she gave me a long time to plan and I still conceptualized it till I reached the deadline.😁 So, the quick thing was to find a template for the card. I really like the printables available online. So I found this really interesting RSVP template Artisan Botanical , fully customisable and free to download and edit. They have explained in detail about how to print and edit t...

A warm hello to all my readers. This post is about a simple colorful floral card quilled for the occasion of Birthday. I love this sunny yellow card with colorful flowers. The leaves have been punched using Jeff punch. 3 in 1 corner rounder for 10mm round edges of the base card. White paper doily of 3.5" adorns the flower bouquet. The inside of this A5 card is blank to write your personal message.  Blue, Orange and Pink flowers have been quilled in marque shaped coils with a tight coil centre using 3mm quilling strips. Yellow flower has been made using tight coils shaped in teardop. Mustard flower is a teardrop shaped 6 petal flower. All the flowers have been adorned using flatback pearls. The quilled leaves are also marque (eye) shaped. The purple is my favorite when it comes combining with yellow color. So the birthday banner has been made from purple cardstock with handwritten sentiment. The envelope was also handmade from a printable av...
