I can’t believe it’s already July! I have to say, this summer has been so pretty relaxing so far. It’s just the break my Moose needed after his year of Kindergarten. The kids and I have been spending our time exploring our local parks and running through the sprinkler in our backyard. But in the midst of all our playing, I have found the time to experiment with a new quilling tool. This week, I’m sharing what I found and…

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ve seen me write time and time again about quilling tools. But, I’ve only written about the tools you really need to start quilling. I’ve never really dived into the less common tools. All those extras that you might not “need”, but they might make some processes easier or more efficient. Or maybe they’re just fun! So I decided that I would start a series where I play with some newer…
We’ve all been there. You’re in the craft store, where you swore you were just going to pick up that one thing for your next project. The next thing you know, you’re at the checkout with $60 worth of who knows what in your cart. No judgment; I’ve been there many times. We crafters are notorious supply hoarders. But I’ve been on a mission lately to declutter my stash and make my supplies multitask. Yet, the one place I just…
Every once in a while, you’ll come across a quilling paper artist whose work is instantly recognizable. Sena Runa is definitely one of those artists! I’m sure you’ve seen her famous quilled heart or her lovely paper camera many times! I’m a huge fan of her modern quilling style, so, obviously, when I was contacted to review her new book, I was just thrilled! So, for this first post of the brand new year, I’m sharing thoughts on Sena’s book,…
I’ve come to a realization recently. I figured out that as much as I enjoy coming up with quilling paper tutorials for my blog, I’m pretty sure that writing about and reviewing quilling tools comes in a real close second. I love finding new and efficient ways to create my quilling designs, and there are so many available out there! While there are some fun gizmos that can be really useful to your quilling, there are also be a bunch that…
About a month ago, I stumbled across a selection of craft tools on a discount website. Now, this is in no way going to be a recommendation of that site (since I’ve read many mixed reviews), but the fact that they were selling quilling supplies really caught my eye. I scrolled through for a bit and found a battery operated quilling tool. The price was absolutely unbelievable, so I took the plunge and ordered one. After trying it out for…
The quilling paper artist world is a small one. Even fewer are the number of people who are sharing their work online. But, there are still definitely those artists who are really well-known in the paper craft circles. And one of those is Ann Martin of All Things Paper. So you can imagine my surprise when Ann Martin herself contacted me to see if I would be willing to write a post about her newest book. Of course, I jumped…
It’s no secret that lots of crafters are supply hoarders. Quilling paper artists are no different! There is always the newest tool or another pack of paper strips to buy. It is easy to get overwhelmed! But a newcomer to quilling doesn’t really need many supplies at all! Today, I’m sharing the essential toolkit for quilling beginners so all newcomers can get started now! This post contains affiliate links. If you click on the links below and make a purchase, I…
