Full of Card Making Ideas

For those who have never done paper quilling before, I would recommend Paper Quilling For the First Time by Alli Bartkowski. For those who would like to see paper quilling raised to an art form by an expert, I would recommend The Art of Paper Quilling by Claire Sun-ok Choi. For card crafters who want to incorporate paper quilling to their handmade cards, this book is it. It's full of card making ideas using paper quilling along with other commonly used card crafting elements such as rubber stamps, paper punches, chipboards, patterned papers, ribbons, brads, etc. I especially love the frogs! There are a few items in the book that really do not use any quilling elements and would have been better off not being included in the book. The book would still be great without them.

Great Ideas

There a lot of great ideas in this book. I recommended to all Quillers and Scrappers a like. The only negative thing there is a "spiral flower rubber stamp" technique but I can not find it anywhere on the net. I would love to do this. I even thought of making a foam stamp similar to this but I don't quite have the confidence to do so.

Great Book!

I received this book in the mail last week and have already "dug in". I have several quilling books and was wary about ordering it for fear it would be the "same ol' thing"...but it isn't! The designs are different, and if you enjoy making cards and/or scrapbooking as well as quilling, this is the book for you! There are several husking projects which include bees, frogs, dragonflies and ladybugs. The graphics are great and the instructions are easy to follow. A definite plus to your library for anyone interested in quilling!

Paper Quilling

I have a collection of quilling books, but by far think this one of the best. The directions are easy to follow and the graphics are beautiful and easy to adapt into any project from beginner to advanced. I have shared this book with my card making club and everyone was delighted with it and some plan on placing order. For the card makers and anyone who enjoys paper crafts this is a must have.

WOW is all I can say, love it.

All I can say is WOW! I have numerous quilling books and love them all but this one(New Concepts in Paper Quilling: Techniques for Cards & Gifts by Marie Browning)just made me stop in my tracks. The designs are simple but very elegant or cute depending on the design. It's one of the few times that I actually started from the beginning of the book and read what was written. Since I have been quilling off and on since the 1970's I don't usually read first I just go and quill. I ordered this book on pre-order and received it last week so I haven't quilled anything yet but boy will I be busy. I love all the designs and the flowers made from the Bloomer stamps - just a little different way of doing things. I will be looking for more books from Marie Browning in the future.
