TO MAKE THE CARD:
Trace the diagram of the fan and border pattern.
Place the card open, face up with the fold horizontal
and then place the traced design over the front panel,
aligning the outer line with the card. Use a little masking tape to hold in place and use the embossing tool
to indent the fan shape onto the card, the dark lines
will help mark the position of the three inner struts.
Mark the border pattern then remove the tracing.
Use a length of beige quilling paper and wind spirally around a cocktail stick, remove from the stick
and, now the spiral is formed, wind it by hand to
make the spiral narrower. Use this to make the struts
of the fan, begin with an outside edge, lay the spiral
on the line between the inner and outer curve, trim to
length then glue into place. Do the same for the four
other struts.
Place the traced fan over the pearl card and emboss the small semi circle in the corner, cut it out and
stick into place on the card. Glue a length of gold
cord along the edge below the struts.
Make four hearts from the deep peach paper, ribbling it first (if you don’t have a ribbler plain quilling
paper would be fine). Cut a 10cm length of ribbled or
4
plain paper, make a fold in the centre, place one end
in the tool and wind to 1cm from the fold. Do the
same to the other end. Place these, point up, at the
top of each fan segment leaving a space between
the coils for the other elements.
Cut eight x 6cm lengths of pale green, make into
loose coils and then pinch to a teardrop shape. Glue
these beside the struts at the top of each segment.
Cut four x 6cm lengths of pale blue, make into
loose coils and pinch to a teardrop shape. Glue
these, point down, inside the heart as shown.
Cut eight x 6cm lengths of pale blue, curve into a
loop placing the ends together, place the two ends
into the quilling tool and wind until you have a loop of
about 1cm. Pinch this loop to give a straight top and
curved lower edge. Stick these, with the curls down,
below the hearts as shown.
Make four deep yellow teardrops from 6cm lengths
and glue, point down, between the blue scrolls, as
shown. Use 8cm lengths of deep peach to make four
teardrops, placing these below the yellow ones.
Trace the four dots from the diagram onto a piece
of spare tracing paper, place on a pricking mat, cork
tile or similar. Place a pin into
Actual Size
each of the dots and make eight
leaves using pale green and following the instructions below
for each one.
Fold the strip about 5mm from
the end, place the fold around
the bottom pin and hold in place
while taking the rest of the strip
up around the second pin and
down to the first again.
Add a dab of glue to the fold
(shown orange) and take the strip
below the first pin, pressing onto
the glue and up and around the
third pin. Bring it back down to
the bottom, add glue at the bottom pin then take the strip up
and around the 4th pin, bringing
back to the bottom and gluing
before cutting off the excess.
Remove the pins and pinch the
bottom to form a point. Glue the
leaves each side of the peach
drops as shown.
Add a rope border sticker over
each fan strut and press the top
of each to flatten slightly.
Trace the fan frill and transfer to the brown paper.
Cut the outer curve of the fan using scalloped scissors, cutting the inner curve with straight scissors.
Glue this into place on the fan and add a strip of gold
paper as shown or use a sticker border instead.
The border is worked in deep peach. Make a heart
from a 10cm length, glue into place using the two
dots either side of the centre, embossed from the
pattern, for placement of the coils of the heart.
Make two loose coils from 4cm lengths. Place one
between the heart coils and one on the centre left dot.
All the scrolls are made using 6cm lengths, in the
same way as for the blue scrolls earlier, and adjusting
the length of the straight part to suit the space on
the card.
Add teardrop stickers or any tiny motifs, like hearts
or flowers, then finish off with the wording stickers.
Above: This Easter version uses Curious Translucent
for the fan and a backing of opal Stardream with a
frilled edge. The fan is lifted from the card at the top
edge. The border is worked around a panel before
being mounted onto the card.
