Quilling for Scrapbooks & Cards

This is an amazing book. I made so many cards for Christmas with this book, and EVERYONE was thrilled to get the "special" cards I made just for them. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. I also decorated photo cards using this book. I will purchase this book for gifts for my friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Bright color photos throughout encourage the would-be artist

Quilling dates from Renaissance times and involves the art of rolling and shaping small strips of paper into delicate shapes. These then were used to make decorations for everything from furniture to sconces and boxes. Today they can also be embellishments for scrapbooks - and beginners receive instruction on how to put together winning results with a minimum of materials and experience. Bright color photos throughout encourage the would-be artist. Diane C. Donovan, Editor California Bookwatch

This book CAN stand alone ...

I must congratulate Susan for authoring such a complete quilling book. This book is full of useful and practical designs for embellishing cards, tags, scrapbook pages, etc. Of the 40 plus projects, my favorites are the "sports themed" designs .. they are always hard to find. This book CAN stand alone and is perfect for the novice or experienced paper quiller. As a fellow Society of Creative Designers member, I had the privilege of seeing Susan's original projects firsthand. Her work is unique and this book exemplifies her talent and beautiful quilling designs.
