Quilled Word Collage Theme

I’ve had in my mind to do a set of quilled pieces using word collages in the background. I’ve tried getting my Cricut to write for two years and for some reason it’s been skipping out in certain spots and not making contact.

I had tried everything (I thought) from resetting my pen to restarting my Cricut to cleaning the mats several times. Nothing worked! Finally after asking several times on some Cricut Facebook pages, a lovely lady suggested for me to pop the pen holder out and put it back in following the directions on a video. So, I did.

Lo and behold y’all, it finally worked! So, today I worked on one of the collage pieces and here it is.

I used the combing technique to make the football and cut out the flames and layered them for a cool effect. The yellow paper is a pearlescent kind and adds just the right touch of flare to the flames. I love how it turned out and I think the combing adds such a neat effect of highlighting to the football. Hope you enjoy .

Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Ballet, Dancer I wanted to try something challenging and I saw a picture of a ballerina that I thought might be the one. Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Pointe Shoe

My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff. I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer. Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery! I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament. After a few minutes, I was ready to start. After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside. I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry. I then added the third leaf.
