Quilled Monogram Initial and Pop Up Christmas Card

I wanted to try my hand at quilled initials, twould make it so easy to personalize each card! 

So I started with the letter R. Just because.

Also had a lot of fun making this christmas pop-up card! A simple template by Robert Sabuda. 

And the whole card is elegantly tied with bright red ribbon. 

Money tree, and more origamic architecture!

Making a card for an ambitious guy who's into high end fashion was no piece of cake, but I enjoyed every second of it! Here's the result =)

Code : AOC007

Size : 14.85 cm x 21 cm 

The space below the building will be white or blue, for message writing. 

This is how the ultimate LV outlet should look like =D

pretty door handles =)

(the writing and detailing are all done in gold and bronze pens, but the faint gleam can't be seen in the photo).

Again, in bronze and gold.

Just to show you the shine, lol.

a theme of "wealth" was requested, hence the money tree on the front cover.

All the leaves were made out of Malaysian Ringgit =)

p.s. Almost all the 90 degree templates I use are from Willem's Origamic Architecture. I modified this one, though =)

European/Middle Eastern courthouse

Made this card for my Youth Teacher, whose birthday is next week. (The only reason I'm posting this is because he doesn't read my blog!)

Code : AOC006

This is supposed to resemble a European, or Middle Eastern courthouse (I'm not very good at architectural history =S), because he's a lawyer by profession. 

The outside of the card, and a teeny quilled heart.

Haunted House Pop Up

Looking back at the quilled flowery card I made a while ago, I felt it was pretty, but lacked what I call the "ooomph". So I decided to add in the haunted house (which i was told is a private joke) as a pop up =D 

TA DAH!

 a pair of sinister eyes watches the doorway for any unwary visitors.

 I was positively determined that the roof should be grey. But no book shop sells grey paper! trust me, i searched every shop i knew. So I had to resort to using the back side of a piece of silver paper.

Code : AOC003

the inspiration/design was by a fellow crafter called Leisha. she's amazing! Had to make the house twice, as I accidentally cut the wrong lines the first time. =S HUGE headache. But now I feel so proud of it =) my first major pop-up card!

I do think my little ghosts are rather adorable, don't you? ; )

jingle all the way!

Christmas is on the way, and here come the christmas cards!

(yes i admit I've been in a card-making frenzy the last couple of weeks, neglecting all my math homework teehee.)

Snowflake card!

This was SOOO tedious to quill! 36 quills and 7 hours went into that snowflake. 

but oh, how pretty and glittery it is!

Code : XM001

Size : 10.5cm x 14.85cm
(inside of the card is left blank for your own message)

The empty space at the bottom is for the recipient's name in glitter (or any other message that you prefer.)

This is what the snowflake looks like without glitter, if you prefer it just plain white.

And... with glitter.

*~*~*~*

Another Christmas card =)

Christmas tree pop-up, complete with gold star and mini flowers that stick out.

Code : XM002
Size : 10.5cm x 14.85cm

The front of the card : quilled multicoloured hearts on a light green background. (I don't know why the green doesn't really show in the picture).

Close view of the multicoloured glitter.

Can't wait for christmas! I LOVE the jingly happy atmostphere of the season, the shopping, the hustle and bustle, the presents, the food! Although it's a little over-commercialized, I enjoy it to the fullest. Of course, never forgetting the real reason we celebrate every Decemeber 25th =)
