Quilled Snowflake Thank You Card
The free for all challenge at Splitcoast was to make a card to have on hand to thank a hostess who is especially generous to you. I made this for my senior pastor's wife, Ethel. She works so hard each year to host our annual Thanksgiving meal at the church's fellowship hall. She spends hours decorating, planning, cooking and cleaning up afterwards. She has such a servant's heart and doesn't do this for man's praise or thanks, but she definitely deserves to be thanked! I used the sentiment stamp from Mark's Finest Papers - THANKFUL MUMS AND PUMPKINS set. I stamped it randomly on a piece of dp that I got several years ago from the dollar store. I zig zag stitched the panels to the card. The ornament is attached by a piece of thread that is taped to the back of the top 2 panels. It can easily be removed.
Quilled Snowflake Tutorial
This is a quilling tool. It has a notch on one end. Slide the end of the strip of paper into that slot and roll the paper around the tool.
This is what it looks like rolled around the tool.
I take an opened paper clip to dip into the glue. I put a dot of glue at the end.
Hold for a few seconds until the glue starts to hold. This shape is called a "COIL".
I place the coil onto the drop of glue on the folder.
Take 6 more strips. Roll the paper as you would to make a coil, but before you add the glue, pinch one side. This makes a "TEAR DROP" shape.
Add 6 little drops of glue to the folder around the coil. Put them at 12 o'clock, 2, 4,6,8 and 10.
Dip the pointed end of the tear drops into the glue.
Put the tear drop onto the folder. Making sure that there is contact between the tear drops and the coil.
This is what it looks like with the 6 tear drops.
Take 6 more strips of the paper. Fold each one in half. Roll the strips just to before the fold. Roll them so that the coils go to the outside.
This is the result.
Dip the pointed end into the glue.
Slide it into the snowflake at 1 o'clock, 3,5,7,9, and 11.
This is how the snow flake will look.
Take 6 more strips. Fold them in half. This time roll the coils to the middle. These will look kinda like hearts.
Dip the rolled ends into the glue.
Take rolled ends and place next to the rolled ends of the snowflake.
Dip the end of the tear drops, rounded ends into the glue.
