Christmas/Valentine's Quilled Heart Cards

 

Here's what I've been busy with - Christmas mini cards!

 

First I quilled the hearts.

 

Then I made the backing with space for a message. Wanted to decorate the back a little more but I had less than a week to finish 40 of these sweeties.

 

Glued on the quilled hearts, personalized it with a message from me as well as the recipients' names, and voila!

 

Arranged neatly in my Christmas box, all ready to be Miss Santa =)

I'd actually thought making these would be a breeze (the heart is the easiest thing to quill, after all!) - but making 40 was NO joke. Even so, I'm not done; there are plenty more people I need to make cards for and am super late! 

I hope they won't mind <3 Maybe it'll be a Valentine!

Quilled Valentine's Day bookmarks

I made a couple of bookmarks for a friend and another friend's mother for Valentine's Day and forgot to share : here they are!
I don't know why but the colours are a little washed out. They looked beautiful on my craft desk, but the photos don't do them justice =(

I adore this little guy.

This was my first ever attempt at the technique of alternate side looping.

Kinda sad to give her away (yes, the butterfly's a her, though I didn't give her a name) but I'm sure she made that special person happy so that's all good.

Have a lovely weekend everyone =)

Shooting Stars and Sheep

This was done as a gift to a friend : he wanted a shooting star, a couple side by side, and grazing sheep.   

Quite happy with how it turned out : simple but sweet. I do think I should have kept the focus more on the couple though. Right now the viewer's focus is a little diverted because of the sheep.

It's a little as if the shooting star is gonna fall right into her hand =)

An indifferent sheep stands on the hill while the shepherd keeps watch over a sleeping lamb. And the curious little one gazes into the sky with wonder at the glittery swoosh.

I <3 my curious little one! =)

Penguin bookmark!

aren't they adoooorable? =)

Code : BM001

A friend requested a bookmark with an animal on it, and because he kept sending me penguin emoticons on facebook, I quilled him 2 penguins with silver snowflakes all around. cute right? =D

I also added his (my friend's) name up there below the first penguin, but this photo was taken before I did it.
