Birthday card with looped flowers

Another Birthday Card for a very special friend ...
I got a stamping set as I was window shopping in a mall nearby... I grabbed it the moment I saw.The cost was pretty reasonable.
It had butterfly and Best wishes stamp with red and green color...

The swirls are crimped.
Finally I got the looping idea from a video I saw on youtube...
But I put into flower petals instead...
And the beehived leaves...
Also used the border punch gifted by my sister...

Thanks to the quillers who share there ideas through videos and tutorials...
Hope I can share some too may be in future when I have enough resources...

The best part in gifting this was to capture the smile I saw in my friends eyes...

Quilled Frame

A simple Birthday frame for a friend made with Fringed flowers...
This is the first frame I designed with quilled flowers...and I had to design it in a great hurry...
I took almost 2 hours to assemble the flowers, leaves, swirls, pollen's and the rhinestones.
I had made these fringed flowers, and leaves before...

The day I made this frame I realized that its so good to just keep leaves and flowers ready.
Whenever there is an occasion it just takes few hours to assemble them to make a simple, beautiful and extraordinary gift which you cant buy it from any shop...

I had to rush to the restaurant as my friend was throwing a party on the same day...
I went to a small stationary shop nearby.
As I asked the shop boy to warp the frame I realized I need to take a picture and I just clicked this from my phone.
Then I took a photocopy of my friend put it inside and handed it over for wrapping...

I still remember the exiting happiness on my friends face whom I gifted this...

Its good to make people around you happy... Give happiness and you get it back in return in someway
I feel more inspired to spread happiness through simple quilling ideas...

Quilled Round Pink Flowers

A Simple Card with round pink flowers.
Made it long back during my initial days of quilling.
Thought of posting it today.

I was always amazed with the looped leaves which I saw made by many quillers...
As I was browsing through I came to know we need a comb to prepare them...

But I ended up with these round leaves.
My mom says these look like oval watermelon ... :)

Quilled Money Plant

I have been quilling since last 3 years...
Many people insisted me to do something more and grow in this area...
I too want to ...yes I did and still do...
I had to open a proper blog for only quilling...
A precious friend of mine gave me this blog name... I loved it the moment I heard it..

When I think back about my quilling in those last three years.... I have prepared cards, anndd... thats it only cards.

I wanted to make something different this time for this friend of mine...

So I made made this money plant.., I ordered two shades of quilling strips online...
One is Lime Green color and another Dark Green color ...

It took 60 Lime Green strips and 30 strips of Dark Green Strips...

This arrangement is inside a Tea Poy and pics are taken without the glass covering the top...
