Fathers Day Sailboat Card

Father's Day cards are always a challenge for me. I think this is because I struggle with those "male themes". A safe design is boats or sailboats, so this Father's Day card uses the sailboat theme.

My goal was to create a card that was easy to make. I started by doing a search for clipart, and looked for a sailboat. Once I picked the one I wanted, I printed it along with "Happy Father's Day" directly onto the card.

Now, the only thing left to do was add quilled embellishments.

For the Quilling I did the following

Clouds

• 1 - 4 in (10.2 cm) S-Scroll cloud


• 2 - 3 in (7.6 cm) C-Scrolls to make a cloud.
  

Birds

• 3 - 2 in (5.1 cm) strips folded in half


• Use 1/16th in wide paper.
  

Waves

• 2 - 6 in (15.2 cm) Sculpted Loose Coils


• 1 - 3 in (7.6 cm) Sculpted Loose Coil


• 1 - 3 in (7.6 cm) S-Scroll


• Place these underneath the sailboat to add the look of water / waves.

Sails

• Take multiple colored strips and create Triangle Coil.


• Make one larger for the outer sail that is blowing in the wind.


• Create a 6 in (15.2 cm) Triangle for the flag at the top of the mast and there you have it.

A simple card, using few quilled embellishments that add to the overall look of your card.

I hope you enjoy making this card.

Have fun and Enjoy!

Father's Day Golf Card

This is a great Father's Day card for the golfer in your life.

The "19th Hole" idea is not new, I am certain that if you look around you will see many variations.

This card has very few quilled elements, and is predominantly made with torn paper.

I picked 4 different green papers. Make sure that 2 of them are a solid color and 2 have a design, pattern, or texture. This is simply to give the card a nice texture.

I cut the papers so they were the width of the card and then tore them so that there was variation across the top.

For the Quilling I did the following

Golf Ball

• 8 - 3 in (7.6 cm) white Loose Coils
• Glue them together, start with one in the center and then place/glue the remaining 7 around the center coil.
• When finished take a strip of white and wrap it around the golf ball.
  
  

Pin (Hole Marker)

• Cut a piece of paper for the "flag"
• Create a 4 in (10.2 cm) Spiral for the pole
• Glue the flag to the pole
• Add "19th" to mark the 19th hole
  
  

I layered the green papers, placed the golf ball on the 1st layer, leaving the second layer loose at the top so that the ball slides in.

I placed the "pin" between the 2nd and 3rd layer

Finally, added dimensional tape to the 4th layer.

Add a "Happy Father's Day" and you have an easy card.

Note to self: If I were to do this card again, I would make sure that I had a blue background to add that little extra pizzaz.

I hope you enjoy making this card.

Have fun and Enjoy!

Mothers' Day Book

Hello Everyone,

This is a quick post about a woman I "met" during the One World One Heart event this year. Her name is Barbara, http://blog.barbaracagle.com, and she has written a book about her Mom. The book is called 16 X Mom (in reference to her mother having 16 children - WOW). Her blog is fun to read and she looks like it would be a lot of fun to hang out with her.

You can check out her blog and enter for a chance to win her book for Mother's Day - but hurry, time is running out. Best wishes!

Enjoy!
Antonella :-)

Free Quilling Pattern Pink Flamingo

When I think ofFlorida, I cannot help but think of Pink Flamingos. This is probably a throwback to the 70s and 80s - as it is the stereotypical lawn ornament isn't it?

So, in honor of my proposed trip to Florida for the 2009 NAQGCON Quilling Conference I am going to share with you a really cute, quick Pink Flamingo and show you how you can think outside the box.

For this cutie, I found clipart under the Microsoft free clipart - do a search for pink falmingo and you will find it. I kept the flamingo's legs and the water she is standing in but did not keep the body because I wanted to replace it with my quilling.

Place the clipart on the page as you would like to see it printed and then resize the clipart to fit your project. Note: To remove the body, you can insert the clipart into an MS-Word document or a PowerPoint document and then create a drawing object (a square) that is white (not clear) and place the white drawing object over the flamingo's body. This will cause the body to dissappear. :-)

I printed this on a 3-1/2 x 5 inch card blank.

Then, I did some real simple quilled shapes

The Body:

• Take 2 - 3 full length strips of pink quilling strips and roll them into a teardrop shape.


• Pinch the end of the loose coil ever so gently so that the body looks a bit more like a fish than a teardrop.

The Head:

• 1 - 6 in (15.2 cm) Pink Teardrop


• 1 - 2 in (5.1 cm) Pink Teardrop


• 1 - 4 in (10.2 cm) Black Flat Teardrop - look at the picture, this is more flat and shaped to look like a beak than a teardrop


• Arrange as shown in the picture

The Neck:

• 1 - 4 in (10.2 cm) strip of Pink


• I gently arranged this in an "S" shape from the head to the body to create the graceful neck.

Accent pieces and Embellishments:

• 2 - 2 in (5.1 cm) strips bent in half and lightly curled to make birds


• 1 - 12 in (30.4 cm) Loose coil


• 6 - 3 in (7.6 cm) spirals to place around the sun to create the sun's rays

This lucky lady was used on a Birthday card. :-)

Use the picture for guidance

So, remember to look around at all the things you see and do and find the inspiration all around you.

Enjoy!
