Hello, everyone! My name is
Lauren Alarid. I’m a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in California and 2019 Artisan
Design Team member, and I am so happy to be sharing my creativity on the
company blog. Today I wanted to share with you a fun technique that has been
around for a while but is new to me – paper quilling.
Adding paper quilling to
scrapbook pages can add so much interest! The dimension creates so much texture
and you can add as many curls and layers as you like. Additionally, the
quilling allows you to create the look of a background and foreground with
little effort. I just love the unique effect it gives!
This paper technique can be
as simple or as complicated and detailed you want it to be. You can just add a
few paper strip accents or you can add layers upon layers and extra bits of
papers for a more intricate look. My page was on the more detailed side and
ended up being quite a process, but it was so worth it.
I began by using some of our
new Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and my Aqua Painter to add
subtle color to the paper, making sure to paint the edges as well. I repeat this process on the other side of the
paper. It doesn’t need to be a perfect match because the differences will be
too subtle to see on the finished page. Also, the paper may curl, but that’s
okay because we’re curling it anyway.
After the paper has dried, I
cut it into ¼” strips. Once you have cut the paper into strips, you will need
to go back and add color to the freshly cut edges for a cleaner, cohesive look.
Next, I used my “Take Your Pick” tool to wrap my watercolored strips
to make them curl. You can use different parts of the tool for a more loose or
tighter curl.
The final step is to arrange
and adhere your strips to your page. To me, this was the most complicated part.
You can use hot glue for a quicker adherence, but I like the cleaner look and
how forgiving wet glue is, so I prefer the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
It allows me to maneuver my strips before committing to a position and doesn’t leave
the spidery string that hot glue does. It takes patience and a few clear stamp
blocks holding your strips in place, but the results are well worth the effort.
I also used a few ocean themed stamp sets (Magical Mermaid and Sea ofTextures) for more interest and to tie in the theme of my page. Below
is a close-up of how I placed my curled strips.
I wanted to include a few final
pictures (below) so that you can see all the dimension and detail that I was
able to achieve with this technique. Though it took some considerable time and
effort, I love the effect and the memory I was able to capture.
I hope that you have enjoyed
this fun technique and will consider giving it a try yourself. It’s just
another great way to add so much interest and to spice up your pages!
Happy Crafting!

Does anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including Herpes, Diabetics, Asthma, Cancer, Hepatitis, etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of Hepatitis B and my Sister and her Husband were cured of herpes by chief dr lucky who uses natural herbs to cure different kinds of illness. Even chief dr luck proved to the whole world that natural herbs can cure all diseases and he cured countless people using natural herbs. I know it is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm in trying herbs. Contact on WhatsApp +2348132777335 or email chiefdrlucky@gmail.com
