Quilled Bells Christmas Card

Making Christmas cards, do you participate?! I make a few, but not for everyone on my list! But here is a cute one for someone special (like maybe my next door neighbor!)



I started this card with just the idea of a quilled wreath. I looked around the internet for inspiration, but didn’t really find anything that caught my eye. So, I decided to create my own design. Which is easy to do with basic shapes and some quilled coils!



After my wreath was done, I knew it needed something else and that is where the bells came in! I took Chasity’s acorns as an idea and tweaked it. I glued 10 quilling strips together and then just rolled with it! Once I got the coil done, I stretched it similar to how she did her acorns. Then I SMASHED it! Which gives the bell it’s shape. I lined the inside with the glue, just like she did and let dry.



At this point, I still needed to add something, so I pulled out some stickers from the Holiday Quilled Cardmaking kit and then the Sticker Flair kit and created my sentiment.



And even though, I probably won’t mail this card, I think you could. Especially since the bells are smashed! In your cardmaking kit there are some foam sheets that are to help cushion your card if you should decide to mail it. How clever!!!

Christmas Card Ideas Part 2 using the Holiday Season Quilled Cardmaking Kit

Hello 3 Birds Fans! It's Juliana here to share some Christmas card ideas with you using our new Holiday Season Quilled Cardmaking Kit! I love how this kit covers the rainbow with both traditional and nontraditional Christmas colors. Yesterday, Robbie, shared two Christmas cards that were made using some of the brighter color combinations that are in the kit. The two cards that I'm sharing with you today were made using some of the more traditional colored pieces from the kit because I was drawn to the wood patterned paper and I just had to play with it!


To create the Good Times Good Cheer card, I cut a strip of the wood grained paper (from the Flora Festival Page Kit) and added it to the card front along with the green frame die cut. The sentiment is another die cut that I placed inside the card and you can see it through the square die cut window opening on the card. I then quilled a red poinsettia and two green holly boughs following the directions that come with the kit. The final touch was the addition of some red jewels from the Pearlescent and Foil Goodie Box and a twine bow.



The Tis the Season card started with another die cut window card as the base. I added a strip of cardstock paper to the card front as well as the die cut frame. Next, I attached the small square die cut images to the inside of the card. I then added the Tis the Season sentiment and created a quilled holly berry to further embellish the card.



 

So have you started working on your Christmas cards yet? We sure hope that you'll be using your 3 Birds Holiday Season Quilled Cardmaking Kit to create them!

HUGS!
