For those of us scrapbookers and card makers, this book has many ideas.

Product Description

The old art of quilling, sometimes known as "paper filigree," gets a new guide specially applied to the fast-growing crafts of scrapbooking and handmade greeting cards. Quilling is the simple art of rolling, shaping, and arranging strips of paper to make beautiful designs. It's easy and fun to do, and the supplies are easily available and inexpensive. Some of the designs work for a variety of themes--flowers, alphabets, numbers, and geometric shapes, as well as golf clubs, fishing poles, footballs, hearts, and shamrocks. The 25 card and 20 scrapbook projects emphasize special occasions: a birthday cake with candles, a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day, a graduation cap with tassel, and tiny feet for sending congratulations to parents of newborns.

GREAT BUY!!!

Nice, but cannot stand alone3
This is a lovely book with some very nice patterns. (Other great books for cards are Anne Redman's and Diane Crane's.) HOWEVER, if you're going to use or give it as a gift, if not already familiar with quilling, make sure to also purchase something more basic, such as Malinda Johnson's treasure trove. This book is definitely not a standalone for beginners. By way of example, most quillers agree that folded roses require lots of practice -- but this book is the first I've ever seen WITHOUT EVEN DIAGRAMS. The average person wouldn't have any chance of mastering folded roses by that brief description alone!

Bright color photos throughout encourage the would-be artist5
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.
