Quilled Card Tutorial
This is an all occasion card I made after visiting a beautiful garden. Some of the flowers were quite unusual in that they appeared to be growing upside down. I came home wanting to try to duplicate...
Rolled Paper Bead Christmas Card
This is a handmade Christmas card on which I used rolled, metallic paper beads to create a stylized Christmas tree. I've posted a tutorial on my blog, all things paper, if you'd like to see...
Paper Filigree Greeting Card
This simple card is embellished with a quilled flower. A complete tutorial can be found on my blog, All Things Paper. I included lots of tips for beginners and hope you'll give it a try...
Merci Beaucoup Card
I rolled narrow strips of paper to make the scrolls that embellish the stamped daffodil on this thank you card. If you'd like to read more about the technique, I posted about it on my blog...

Re: Book Giveaway: Kanzashi In Bloom
The cover of this book is eye-catchingly beautiful. Knowing how well Sister Diane writes her blog, e-books, and delivers her podcasts, there's no doubt the contents of this book make it a winner too. I'd love to win a copy.

Beautiful - a real art object! The hinged binding looks like it must be quite complicated to do.

Jeffery, you never fail to look at things from an inspired perspective. That's what I love about this site... the way you and the other crafting experts constantly surprise us with new ideas. You might have been after Bitter Chocolate that day, but you came away with nourishment for the soul. Earl's photographs and landscape paintings are beautiful.

What a great project - and well worth the dumpster dive! The box is cool and the beautiful ribbon adds just the right touch.

SO pretty! The ball of yarn as a holder is a great idea. I'll need to post a link to this page on my blog.

I love this collage and the fact that the artist used the NYTimes from inauguration week makes it even more special.

Very cool!
posted: 11:34 am on April 20thRe: How to Make a Magazine Reed Box
So neat - thanks! Great instructions too. I'm happy I've saved stacks and stacks of Martha Stewart Living - the heavy, glossy paper will be perfect for this sort of project.

Uber-impressive - Jeffery, you're a star. :-) A more complicated project than the Moravian folded paper stars, but well worth the hair-pulling hassle.

So elegant, both the eggs and your packaging. I love the luminous look the Pearl Ex gives to the eggshells.
