The old art of quilling, sometimes known as "paper filigree," gets a new guide specially applied to the fast-growing crafts of scrapbooking and handmade greeting cards. Quilling is the simple art of rolling, shaping, and arranging strips of paper to make beautiful designs. It's easy and fun to do, and the supplies are easily available and inexpensive. Some of the designs work for a variety of themes--flowers, alphabets, numbers, and geometric shapes, as well as golf clubs, fishing poles, footballs, hearts, and shamrocks. The 25 card and 20 scrapbook projects emphasize special occasions: a birthday cake with candles, a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day, a graduation cap with tassel, and tiny feet for sending congratulations to parents of newborns.

Nice, but cannot stand alone,

This review is from: Quilling for Scrapbooks & Cards (Hardcover)
This is a lovely book with some very nice patterns. (Other great books for cards are Anne Redman's and Diane Crane's.) HOWEVER, if you're going to use or give it as a gift, if not already familiar with quilling, make sure to also purchase something more basic, such as Malinda Johnson's treasure trove. This book is definitely not a standalone for beginners. By way of example, most quillers agree that folded roses require lots of practice -- but this book is the first I've ever seen WITHOUT EVEN DIAGRAMS. The average person wouldn't have any chance of mastering folded roses by that brief description alone!

This review is from: Quilling for Scrapbooks & Cards (Hardcover)
If you are looking for clear and simple instructions and designs, this is the book you want. The easy to follow instructions explain how to make the many shapes in this extremely easy craft. There are designs and instructions for making cards for every occasion and holiday. For scrapbookers she shows wonderful and funny ideas for pages for vacations, school days, hobbies, weddings, etc. All the designs are doable by even the most inexperienced, such as myself!
