I've been quilling away here and I have another card for you.



I used the Create A Critter Cartridge.

Quilled Ladybug Card

.


I am having so much fun quilling my die cuts. Here's a ladybug card I did this afternoon.




The Ladybug is from Create A Critter Cartridge Cut at 1".

Paper Quilling With Create A Critter Cartridge

I saw some paper quilling kits. I have some paper quilling supplies here. So I thought why not paper quill with some die cut images. So I looked through my Create A Critter handbook and came up with a couple of animals to quill.







First I used my Gypsy to flood fill the colors I wanted from the Create A Critter cartridge.
I cut them out on my imagine at 3-1/2".


Next I used the die cuts as a template for quilling this butterfly.

Now I have the quilling done and it is ready to be assembled to the base of the butterfly.

I used  dimensional
 to pop up the butterfly wings


Before I placed the wings on the base of the butterfly
I ran the wings through my Sizzix big shot and embossed the wings.
Next I placed the wings on the base of the butterfly.
Next I glued in the quilled papers.
I used dimensionals to pop up the butterflies body.
I used glossy accents over the embossed area to pop out the embossing.

Here's the giraffe I did with Create A Critter Cartridge.
I cut this at 4".


Here are these 2 cuties together.
It really didn't take all that long.
I am not a professional quiller.
Actually this is my first try using my quilling supplies.

Floral Card

.


I amaze myself sometimes how working with different products I get totally different results. I am liking the results I am getting from Tim Holtz and Sizzix products.



This card was made with the Tim Holtz tattered floral die.
The papers I used are from the Mariposa Stack by DCWV.
I used a florish stamp set to make the florishes. I don't remember the name of it.

Todays Snow Storm

I took some pictures of the snow storm where having today. Look at the size of these snowflakes.
I have never seen snow flakes this big before. This is what the song must of meant "It's A Marshmallow World In the Winter". It really does look like Marshmallows on the ground. We're having thunder too.
It's pretty but I want Spring!
