Quilling just got a lot easier!!

YAY!! I’m sooo happy nowadays!! Cos I finally found what I was looking for a long time!! And that’s A PAPER SHREDDER!! You have no idea how valuable it is for me!!! Well if you are a Quiller you sure do!!

For those who don’t know what a paper shredder is, let me explain it to you!! Paper shredder is actually used for destroying paper, but here, we quillers use it to cut strips for quilling. It’s really interesting to see that, something that is used  for destruction can be used for construction!! This shredder actually trims paper in to thin strips,  therefore it’s perfect to cut paper strips for our quilling projects. 

 Until now, I used a metal ruler and a paper cutter to cut strips! Which is a very very boring n tiring process indeed! The pains in my arms after cutting lots of strips! First I have to mark strips of 3mm wide, then cut them. vry time consuming process, too! Phew! Well, goodbye to those days now, cos I got my new baby in my arms…hehehe!!

This one is a mini hand paper shredder, because it is powered manually, it cuts strips of 3mm length , which is the perfect size for quilling strips. I still have to cut my A4 size papers in half to feed the cutter, as it only accept 123mm wide papers.

I actually found it in the stationary shop that I usually shop for supplies. It was in a corner in the shop in a part where I never looked, because that’s where toys and school bags ..sort of things are.. So I never took an interest to go there.. well, it just might have been sitting on the shelf all along! Well, better late than never! I was so happy to see this hand shredder, and wanted it so badly, no matter what the price was!! Haha , and luckily for me it wasn’t very expensive. And I also found this circles template, which can be a great help when quilling flowers, so that you can create petals of the same size. 

So quilling just got a lot easier for me!! I’ve been hoping to do some new quilling projects lately, and found this baby just in time…  they are gonna require lots of strips.. so time to do some serious quilling!!!! 

Thank you card in Blue and White

             Another design using the two tone idea!! Blue & white again! I’m kind of getting tired using blue and white now..hehe.. but that’s what the request was !! hehe..  Sorry about the photo though!! :((

 

The client who is a good friend of mine wanted a thank you card which was inspired from two tone birthday cards that I did earlier. HC019A

             A very simple design is done here using a butterfly, flower , heart and some spirals!! No pop up inside! The inscriptions were written using glitter blue color pen.  Padded envelope is provided for the protection of the quilled shapes!

Blue and white design

 

Hello guys.. sorry for being so late to post something.. again!! I do have some designs that I did in January. Really sorry about the picture quality here.. it was a last minute order and I had to do it as fast as possible, and it was almost midnight that I finished it.. then I took the photos, coz I had to post it first thing in the morning! so the photos are not in good quality! Sorry! 

However, the design is done in blue and white, lots of people seems to be digging this two tone idea actually!!! I only managed to do blue & white color so far though! This was a spontaneous design, I didn’t actually draw a sketch or anything.. just worked it as I go along!!! J Turned out pretty though! The two letters, ‘ BB’ was a request from the client and as I didn’t have time to do a pop up, did the inscriptions inside. There was no room left on the front, as the design took whole space!!

Birds in love....

AC006A

 Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope all of u guys are having a great time and enjoying the christmas!!. I don't have any designs for the Christmas though! Sorry guys had no time to do one. Anyway i want to share with you this couple of birds in love!!!

 So, this is a wedding anniversary card. This card is a fully designed card, both inside and outside. I usually do a complete design on the front of the card and use a simple pop up inside. But this time I created two scenes both on the outside and the inside. On the front you can see couple of birds in a swing. The couple is so madly in love!!! Hehehe… well I think that’s what marriage is about!! My client wanted a card for their 2^nd wedding anniversary; it’s for her husband of course. So the idea that kept running in my head was “a couple madly in love”…heehe.. So instead of a human couple I chose a bird couple!! 

On the inside I created a night scene with the two birds in love, the boy bird is holding a rose in his beak and the girly one which is wearing a white ribbon is singing “it’s our 2^nd wedding anniversary…” hehe…. I used this dark blue color for the background, with a few silver stars and clouds with a glittering moon! 

On the front instead of using green for leaves I used … who says leaves have to be green after all!!! Hehe.. I think this color goes well with the color of the tree, brown. The couple is in pink and blue, the boy bird is wearing a black hat of course, little bit of a gentleman, I guess.

So as usual, the card is customizable and the envelope is very simple. Also this works for a birthday of a lover too! You know what to do if you like this card!!!

Card size : 16*13cm

Envelope: Padded

Another version of HC003

HC003P

This is the same version as HC003A but with different colors. it looks like that this design is the most wanted one. Most of my customers ask for this design with different color themes. I used soothing and serene colors this time. I find these colors are very relaxing to the eye. used pink as the dominant color and I think the colors have a pastel look.

Two hearts in love...

AC005R

 

 

Hey guys…… Do u remember me???? Hehe…I guess Chami crafts could be forgotten by now… I’m extremely sorry guys…! I’ve been super busy recently…having exams and ….all.. yup that’s what I always say!!! EXAM!!! Well I’m happy to announce that finally it’s over and I’m free like a bird!! So that means I’m ready to adventure the Crafts World! Hahahah! However I managed to do a card for firnd who is also a regular customer just before the exams and I wasn’t able to post it here though..

So hee it is… she wanted a card that looks the same as AC002R but with teo hearts not one. So it designed two hearts using spiral roses but there wasn’t enough space to write the words on..so I had to write it on the bottom of the card… 

Since the hearts looked a bit empty I added another heart with a red color ribbon. It’s a simple card… not too many items on it, the inside consists of a pop up with two hearts….

Well that’s all I have for now.. but hope to do more designs and try new things cos now I have lots of free time….I’m also hoping to do some tutorials, too. Well then catch u all soon…J
