Flowerpot Accordion Card

 

I've been very busy ever since college started, but quilling is starting to become a bit of an obsession with me.

Can you guess what I've been busy with today? In shades of mint green, lime green and forest green =) I'll tell you in my next post, when I'm done with it!

That teeny little quilled rose among all the greens is my sad attempt at quilling a rose. Many times I've tried, using different methods and various tutorials, but still the perfect rose evades me. It's so frustrating! The coils are always loose so the petals are too far from one another. Any tips, anyone? 

One thing to add to the List of Things to Do Before I Die : Quill a nice rose.

And just so you don't link away, annoyed at the lack of update =) here's something I worked on quite a while ago :

This is a 3-fold flowerpot accordion card. 

The flowers glitter in the light, but as usual the details don't show in the photo.

Have a lovely flowery week!

Valentine's Day You're So Sweet Cupcake Card

What better way to say "You're so sweet!" than with a card full of sweet treats? I made this for Valentine's Day, but it can be used for any occasion at all. Wedding anniversaries, Mother's Day, a thank you to someone sweet, a little token of appreciation or just to tell someone what you think of them =)

A glittered cupcake and patterned flowers adorn the front of this card, with a lollipop and candy on the inside. All the embellishments are glittered. =)

I'm thinking of exploring 3D quilling next! Sometimes I wish I didn't have to study and could just craft full time instead.

So, what's been happening with my shop, do you ask? 

Well, I got my first international order (whee!) and had an AWESOME time packaging it.

This is the item I actually sold (Thank You Card with Coffee Cup Dessert Fork) :

 I was thinking and thinking, how, how, how am I to package it? Obviously with the fork, it won't fit in a regular envelope, and it needs to be sufficiently protected so the fork doesn't kill the card =) The postman  wouldn't treat it as gently as I would.

So in the end, I planned out, measured, cut and hand-assembled my own Bubble Box Mailer :

Isn't the heart pretty? =)

Both front and back of the box are lined with bubble wrap, then covered with red paper to hide the bubble =) 

Size : 3.5 x 11.5 x 16 cm.

I wonder how long it'll take to reach the US.

My snowflake made it into yet another treasury!
