Quilled Name Plate

Hi All,

From long time wanted to try a quilled name plate. At the same time it was my nephew's second year birthday and I thought something hand made would be a perfect gift which he can look into even after he grows up.

So here goes my first quilled name plate and a first gift to someone apart from my husband.

When I wanted to quill a name plate I was looking out for inspirations and got few ideas. So this quilled name plate is inspired by many other fellow quillers.

I got inspired my many ideas and ended up quilling two name plates. Both the frames are of A4 size. The letters are first printed onto A4 size cream color punch paper.

First one is quilled using a single color and the letters are printed using Harlow Solid Italic(size 270). Used a 5mm thick brown quilling paper for quilling the letters and to fill the borders. The mountain effect is given by using a crimped quilled paper.

Second is quilled using multiple shades of colours and the letters are printed using Arial Rounded MT Bold(150) font. Used 3mm quilled papers for the second name plate to get a finished look

Would like to do more of quilling to get perfection.

Hope you love my work.

Happy quilling

Quilled Pink Valentine Card

Hi.,

I am so excited to write my first blog. And it's even more exciting that it will be about quilling. My interest for quilling started around 3 years back when I was thinking of making handmade card for my mom on Mother's Day. Since then I am making small quilled cards, quilled earrings for my friends.

After all these years of quilling, my passion for quilling increased. And while through blogs related to quilling, the idea of having my own blog for quilling bloosmed. I named my blog as QUILLING SPEAKS as I would like to express my thoughts through quilling and I feel every single quilled shape expresses something.

When the idea of blogging occured, I was thinking which project to pen down. At this stage I came across Indian Quilling Challenge Blog, which is a fantastic platform for quilling enthusiasts to show their talent and it provides a competitive edge for quilling which adds more interest. There recent challenge : IQCG#23-- Anything Goes with pink in it, gave me a subject for my first blog.

And the thought to give a handmade quilled card to my husband on our first Valentine day was a fuel to my quilling engine. That's when the Pink Valentine Card was quilled.

The card is of Pink Handmade paper with a pink heart on it. Different quilled shapes fill the heart in different shades of pink. I have used both 3mm and 5mm pink shades of pre-cut quilled strips. The alphabets indicates the first letter of my name and my husband's name.

I am excited to tell that I am entering my project to IQCG#23-- Anything Goes with pink in it.

While going through other blogs, came across many other challenges. The links are below:
