Pastel Paper Quilling Floral Composition

I love creating flowers from paper, especially when I can combine different shapes, colors and tiny details into one composition. This 3D paper quilling floral arrangement was created in a soft pastel palette of pink, white, light blue, pale green and yellow.

The whole composition is arranged inside a round wooden embroidery hoop. The large pink and white flowers are the main focus, with delicate open-loop petals and raised yellow centers that give them a lovely three-dimensional look.

I also added smaller blue and white flowers, tiny pink buds and lots of soft-green quilled leaves and sprigs. The long green paper strips at the bottom create delicate stems and help bring the whole arrangement together.

I really enjoy how the pastel colors make this piece feel light and gentle, while all the small quilled details give it plenty of texture and dimension.

This is a paper quilling inspiration project and I hope the flowers, colors and composition give you some ideas for your own 3D quilling flowers and paper floral arrangements.

Yellow and Amber Quilled Flowers – 3D Paper Quilling Card

This handmade paper quilling card features a warm floral design in shades of yellow, amber and green. Two large quilled flowers with dark brown centers are surrounded by delicate yellow buds and smaller bell-shaped flowers.

Flowing green leaves made with open-loop quilling add movement and give the composition a natural, elegant look. The 3D paper flowers are arranged on a white cardstock panel with a subtle green border.

This card is a simple example of how paper quilling strips can be shaped into beautiful flowers, leaves and delicate floral details.

Quilled Cosmos Flowers – Paper Husking Quilling

Cosmos flowers have always reminded me of childhood and warm summer days. Their delicate petals inspired me to recreate them using paper and the husking technique.

For these flowers, I wove 3 mm paper strips around pins arranged in a pattern, creating individual petals and leaves. Once the pieces were formed, I assembled them into delicate cosmos flowers.

For these flowers, I wove narrow paper strips around pins arranged in a pattern, creating individual petals and leaves. Once the pieces were formed, I assembled them into delicate cosmos flowers.

I really enjoy this technique because it allows you to create very detailed shapes from simple strips of paper.

 These handmade cosmos flowers are a little piece of childhood nostalgia transformed into paper art.

Vintage Handmade Card with a Bird and Quilling Cage | Scrapbooking

Today I'm sharing another handmade card, featuring a little bird that has escaped from its cage.

I wanted to create something light and slightly vintage, so I used papers in soft, muted colours and added a few distressed details. The edges were inked and distressed, with machine stitching and cotton lace adding a cosy handmade feel.

The birdcage is made entirely from paper using the quilling technique. I really enjoyed creating this delicate little detail and making the bird look as if it had just flown out of the cage.

The bird was stamped, distressed and coloured to match the rest of the card. I also added a little sparkle to the branch for a subtle finishing touch.

A simple vintage card with a little story about freedom.
