Friends Forever Quilled Card

Hello friends, 

Welcome back after a long break. I was not keeping well and hence couldn’t upload a post. But here I am today with another favorite card of mine. 

It’s a simple card I made for friendship day. With friendship day just around the corner on 4th of August in just 2 days, I thought of sharing this easy and quick quilling card for your BFF.

You always gift your best friends gifts, chocolates and bands. Try making a handmade card this time. It really adds up the special touch to your friendship. 

Front of the card

This card has the same fringed flower I shared about in my last post. For detailed tutorial refer to my previous fringed flower bookmark post

For the base of the card I have used 120gsm Blue cardstock and a white paper doily of 5.5"  

Over the paper doily I made a flap using 200gsm black cardstock.

Some details on the front of flap

The flap in the front shows a picture of two girls holding hands. And once opened, it shows a quote inside stating "Friends are flowers in the garden of life." 

Some details on the insides of flap.

I have used Eva punch for large butterfly in yellow and pink color with small pearls on it. For the small butterflies in purple I have used Jef punch.

The detail of inside and butterfly punch.

The insides have a triangular bunting banner with FRIENDS FOREVER written. All hand cut from colored papers and tied on card using pink paper twine.

There is a poem dedicated to friendship in the inside leaves. The design on the sides are hand drawn and colored with glitter pens.

Quilling Details

Quilling Details to notice

1. The fringed flowers have been made using 10mm colored strips in Yellow, Blue and Pink. With a centre coil using 3mm strips.

2. For the leaves I have used 3mm green strip shaped in marquese.

3. For the pink and yellow small flowers, I have simply made tight coils from 3mm strips and shaped them a bit to make a tight coil teardrop and glued them together to make one flower with 5 petals.

4. With the help of black marker have made the stems.

5. The green grass is basically the fringed 10mm strip glued to the bottom of card.

6. For the final finishing I have pasted flatback pearls on my flowers and butterflies.

There are so many details in this simple card that I can point out since I made it with so much efforts.

For any further detail I may have missed in this post please let me know. I would love to answer them and help in creating a card if you wish to.
