Tea Time
This person loves tea, and peace and quiet, especially with two little boys around. I wish this for her birthday. Cecelia
Monkey
My friend’s birthday card, who’s born in – you guessed it – Year of the Monkey! Cecelia
Nodding Dog
A friend who loves German Shepards also loves those nodding head ornaments placed in the back of a car. This is his birthday card, complete with nodding head attached with a fishing line, which is hidden by the collar. I wish the video turned out so you could see it nod – well, more of a shake of his head. Cecelia
Sweetpea
My Sweetpea in real life is my Justin. The two peas out of its pod represent me and Justin. When he comes home in June we’ll soon be in our pods again. Yes…very cheesy, I know. Angela
Cockadoodle-doo
This rooster is no morning riser because he spends lots of time preening and fluffing out his feathers. I split the quilling papers and curled them so they overlapped to create more dimension. Check out his headfeathers and butt feathers! Oh yeah…he’s not going anywhere because his little chicken, or should I say rooster wings, aren’t going to take him places. Angela
RCMP Mountie
Inspired by my fiancée, Justin, a cadet at Depot, RCMP Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan. Note the yellow stripe detailing the side of his pants. Chevrons decorate his epaulets and his fringe of hair really does only appear in front, as the rest is shaved. I plan to give this card to him when he graduates and becomes a constable. Angela
Catapillar and Leaves
When a heart punch is turned upside down, a stem can be added to make it into a leaf! Spring is here! My catapillar is going to feast on them! Angela
Butterfly
Glued on the left panel of these “doors”, the butterfly appears to fly as it is opened. Angela
Amigurumi Bunnies
Here is Jake Bunny and Sabrina Bunny! They are not complete yet, but will be. My niece’s 5th Bday party is this Sunday and she will get to keep Sabrina. Amigurumi is a Japanese craft using crochet or knit to make characters (and toys).
Ok, just finished assembling Sabrina Bunny. She is complete except for her white cotton tail. She is wearing a fine bead necklace and some bead work at the bottom of her embroidered heart. Total hours: 14 hrs — whew!
You’re one in a million
Just playing with different types of flowers and somehow a multi-circled scrapbook pattern came to mind – different versions of the same thing. It was difficult to line up the circles on the front and on the inside, so I don’t think I’ll be doing this again. Certainly was fun trying to make it happen though. Cecelia
Yellow Bouquet
Simple yet full looking bouquet full of yellow flowers, my friend’s favorite color. I scanned in the bouquet and laid out with the curved text first. Then printed the card before glueing it permanently. There’s a shadow of the dragonfly in lighter blue beneath for added depth. Cecelia
Yummy amigurumi
Cupcakes galore! Just learned to make these crochet cupcakes — they are so cute and cudly. They are the actual size of a real cupcake.
Cookoo Peacock
Here is my first project with help from Cecelia. I felt like it was my 12th Birthday, bcs here we were two giggly girls twirling coloured paper and making funny animals… Well it was fun anyways. This is my cookoo bird, but it turned into a peacock. Here it is before it was put onto a black background. Marlene
Butterfly
This quilled butterfly is a Thank You card for my cancer surgery team. My oncologist is Irish and wore a surgery cap decorated with 4 leaf clovers, which are represented in the wings. The white is pure luck because they found the cancer, and the cancer itself is the black dots. The iconic pink ribbon which represents cancer causes, completes the butterfly’s antennae. Cecelia
