Quilling flowers on paper bookmarks

PBB024

Wow...I have not been updating my bead blog for a very long time now. This is all due to my workload at Lin Handmade Greeting Cards .....huhu. I hope to be more active here from now onwards. There are a lot of things to be done here and I need more time to focus on it.

Anyways......lately, I've been so addicted to quilling. I've been applying it on my handmade cards. I've never tried applying it on my paper beaded bookmarks before and today I gave it a try :). I love how it looks!! I tried experimenting it by using the bookmark ....placing it in my book.....and it's great....no problem at all with the 3D flowers and leaves. I love it!

I plan to make more of it soon! I have so many ideas......and as usual....so little time hehehe......but I will give my best this time! Till then! :)

I got this idea from thinking of what my Chinese New Year theme cards would be this year......I was just playing around with my new craft punch and see how it would turn out. So that's how these bookmarks came about. With the red, white, orange and gold combination.....that has been the common colors used for Chinese New Year's celebration. I kinda like the red design the most.....it's more outstanding than the other one.....but then, hey....that's just me! hehehe! Which is your fave? :))))

Lovely hearts....

PBB021

Lovely hearts.....all sorts of shapes and sizes! Love doing this one.....in conjunction of the Valentines Day that's just around the corner. :) I used red hot color paper and layered it with a cream color paper at the back. In between it is the white transparent shiny organza fabric to make the heart shine :) Love that effect! Then I decorated around it with multi-colored heart shapes. Last but not least, I dotted some glitter glue to add a special touch to it. Noticed that I did something else that's different this time?? Yes, it's the corners of the bookmark. I used pattern scissors to cut the corners of the bookmark. I love that effect. Don't you? hehehehe! :)))))

Green paper bookmarks

Green! Yup! Another new paper beaded bookmark made in apple green color. Combination of green and purple which I love and also combination of red and green that feels a little Christmassy hehehe.... These bookmarks are made using the same technique like I did previously and am so loving it as it is easy to do. It also gives me a chance to use my flower and leaf craft punches in another type of craft. All this time I've only used them for my cards and now it can be used here for my bookmarks. Cool! :)

New bookmark!

PBB019

I experimented on a new design for my paper beaded bookmark. This time around I wanted something that is easier and faster to make. So I used my medium sized craft punch and punched out some flower patterns on the paper like the one you see above. The punched out part I layered behind it with a white organza fabric. The same technique I did for my other paper beaded bookmarks except this time around I pasted or shall I say decorated the bookmark with flowers and leaves made using the craft punches. I also decorated the ribbons with colored plastic beads that match the colors of the bookmark. I will be making more paper beaded bookmarks similar to this technique in future. I'm so loving this! Hope you guys love it too! :))))

Wordings on bookmark

PBB018

Kinda excited about this design! Especially since there is wordings involved hehehe.....just simple ones with a short first name and some beads on the ribbon with letters on them and arranged to form words. I bought these beads quite a long time ago but never really done any design with them yet....so with this new idea I can do more designs in future...... :)

It has been a long time since I actually posted new beaded bookmarks designs here. Feels great to be able to do so today. Here are some paper beaded bookmarks I made today inspired by a few of my handmade cards. I used to make my handmade cards with designs like these. I made the wordings as part of the flower and leaves....... :)

If you are interested in this design, but do not like the color combination found here......do let me know so that I can make one for you with the color of your choice. Thanks! :)

This one really stands out simply for it's color! Red and yellow....what a combination! hehehe! But I love how the red color just stand out from afar. :) If you click on the top photo you could see that I layered a red net cloth between the paper.....it's a different approach to my paper bookmark technique. I like to try out new materials every now and then. I do think it worked out just fine for this one. As you can see for this particular bookmark, I decided to use a wider ribbon compared to the smaller ones that I used for this similar design. So, I ended up using only one heart shape bead at the top part of the bookmark.

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide and 14.8cm in length.

White swans...

PBB015

I simply adore this one! It's would be perfect for a Valentine gift! The front and the back of the paper beaded bookmark has different color papers....one is dark red and the other is white. Both papers are new and very pretty with embossed designs on it, giving them a little texture on the surface.

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

I have always loved this design because it was inspired by my two dear friends who are the most darling lovebirds I've ever known. :) I would love to make more of this design in other colors beads, paper and layers on the inside of the bookmark itself. As you can see from the original design, I layered the paper with a thin see through organza cloth between the two papers. But here in this new bookmark, I layered it with just another metallic silver paper. It works just as lovely. I love how it shines whenever it hits the light!

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

I made another rose themed paper beaded bookmark today........with dark red card as the background.....I love dark red colors....so romantic! hehehe......for this one I couldn't get smaller dark red ribbons so I used a wider ribbon with a dark red color to match the rose. I place a simple medium sized bead on top of the bookmark that matches the cream colored paper.

I love rose themes :) Wish I could make them in several colors and designs. This is the same design as the one I made before except that I changed the color. I am loving this color recently hehehe..... :) I even used clear bright pink beads for the ribbons.....so cute!!!

Similar to the black and brown rose design I posted earlier, this one has a lighter shade to it. I made it in cream and brown combination that looks simply elegant as well. With matching brown beads at the ends of the brown ribbons, it gives the bookmark a shine that lasts forever :).

The size of this paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

Rose collection 1

PBB011

This paper beaded bookmark was inspired by one of my card designs that I made a while back. The design of the rose was hand carved with a craft knife to form the shape of a rose with it's petals and stalk. I adorned the black ribbon with brown and black beads to match the color of the rose. Very simple and elegant looking :)

The size of this paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

A bouquet.....

PBB010

Another request that I received recently for a paper beaded bookmark. Very fancy, very sweet! It's a lot wider and longer than the other paper beaded bookmarks that I have here in my bead blog. The bookmark is approximately 7.5 cm wide and 21 cm long.

My customer was very interested in the Hen Night card I made sometime ago. You can view it here. So the bookmark has the same bouquet that the Hen Night had. I wish I could put in the same laces though, but unfortunately they are all out. So I had to use whatever laces I had available to match the flowers. I really am in love with this bookmark and I hope the receiver will love it too!!! :)

Autumn leaves........

PBB009

This is another one of my leaf motif paper beaded bookmark that was inspired by my card design. I love this colour combination very much. Each bookmark has one medium sized bead attached at the top part of the bookmark. These bookmarks are about 5 cm wide by 14.8cm in length. I don't have many of these available....I only made about 6 pieces.....so if anyone is interested please email me for the details of prices for these bookmarks :). Thanks!

Leaf motifs.....

PBB008

The leaves in motion........flowing, heading towards one direction.....way to the top! This paper beaded bookmark was inspired by one of my card design..... :) You can view the card here. These bookmarks are about 2 inches by 6 inches in length. Each bookmark has a medium sized round yellowish bead attached to it at the top part of the bookmark. I did not produce them in bulk....I only made about 7 of them. So if anyone is interested to purchase these bookmarks please email me for the details of the price. First come first serve! :)

Cute pictures.....

These are some new designs I made incorporating pictures from a wrapping paper. They are so cute I couldn't help but use them for my paper beaded bookmark. I only made one of each design since I don't have available many of the same wrapping paper......so these are definitely a limited edition collection. The paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide by 14.8cm in length and has a bead attached to it..... :) Please email me for details of the prices for each of these bookmarks if you wish to purchase them. First come first serve! :)
