Book review and giveaway: Pretty Quilled Cards




Quilling is something that never pops into my mind when I'm casting about for my next project, but I might have to rethink that!  Cecelia Louie's new book is called Pretty Quilled Cards, and that is the honest truth.  The effect of quilling is dainty and feminine, but not cutsie in the least.

The quilling basics will give you an overview and introduction to everything you need to know to get started.  There are only a few tools and materials you'll need, so this is a very accessible art form to add to your repertoire.  And here's the amazing thing about this Lark Book design: Cecelia has provided not only step-by-step instructions for each quilling project, but also step-by-step actual-sized templates!  All you have to do is lay your quilling strips on to the of the provided illustrations and do the curves and folds as shown.

But wait, there's more!  There are also printed backgrounds  of Cecelia's illustrations that you can photocopy and use for your cards if you'd like!

Hi Cyndi
This book looks like it contains a wealth of inspiration! I've been creating cards this year and would love to win it. Thanks for the chance.
Stay inspired!

Funny while at work today with cases and reams of paper surrounding me I thought hmmmm I should learn to quill it's not like I don't have the supplies to do it with! Maybe your book giveaway is a sign!

It looks like a very interesting book. I have done a bit of quilling in the past.
