I was looking through my September 2011 Stampin' Success magazine (for Stampin' Up! demonstrators) and there was an article on paper quilling. One of the projects caught my eye and I had to give it a try.
The original card was standard size, but I decided to make mine into a little 3x3 card. I love how the swirls fit perfectly on the heart punch.
If you're looking for some directions and tips on how paper quill, click here to see a tutorial I wrote a few weeks ago. The paper that I used on the heart was 1/8" x 11". I folded the paper in half and then curled each end separately using the rounded end of my paper stylus.
I used Tombow Mono Multipurpose adhesive to hold the quilled piece in place. I made a small puddle of glue on a paper plate and then dipped the cardstock into it. I glued the "v" part of the heart in place first and then worked my way up towards the swirls at the top. I held the pieces in place with my fingers until the glue dried. It only took a few seconds.
If you have any questions on how I made this, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for stopping by!
