Craftsy Online Class Giveaway: Quilled and Sculpted Cards
I’d like to introduce to you, my friend Cecelia Louie, of Paper Zen. Author of the book, Pretty Quilled Cards, she creates amazing paper quilling works of art. Now, add Craftsy Instructor to the list.
She’s a VERY talented lady and I’m honored to know her.
One lucky reader will have the chance to win her Craftsy class: Quilled and Sculpted Cards. (It retails at $29.99, but is on sale for $19.99, a 33% savings.)
Craftsy offers a happiness guarantee on all of their classes – 100% satisfaction or a refund within 30 days of purchase. In addition, Cecelia is always available to answer questions from class participants.
There were many things about Craftsy that impressed me. It takes a talented team to put a class together, beside ensuring I looked and sounded good (and feeding me well too!). Throughout the entire process, Craftsy focused on teaching skills that students could then use in other projects.
For my first lesson, I teach how to make a Fanned Die Cut Christmas Card. It even holds a little prezzie in the tree – a Hershey’s Kiss! Rather than throw away the paper in the middle, I thought it would be nice to make a bonus item, so I came up with a mini tree that also works as a place card or a menu item note. The 3D star sits flat on the card and puffs up while you start forming it. It’s hard to see in this photo, but in the class, I show a method to make them textured and look like fluffy flakes!
In Lesson 3, I teach how to sculpt your die cuts, so that they take on more life and movement. I love combining quilling with my paper projects, and show how to accent the card with simple scroll embellishments.
I’m pretty sure the topmost item that inspires most people to take up quilling is snowflakes. In Lesson 7, I supply pre-measured quilling strips (I like to cut my own) and a grid to follow along to make it super easy.
There are 7 lessons in total and run for about 20 minutes or so each. If you’ve never heard of Craftsy before, it’s an online learning classroom for a wide range of hobbies. Your class never expires and I check in to answer questions.
House #1 – Round Pumpkin
Jin Yong’s house is Under a Cherry Tree and she has the most amazing ways of taking regular die cut files and transforming them in subtle ways to become more tactile and dynamic.
House #2 – Tall Pumpkin
All Things Paper is what you’ll discover at Ann Martin’s house. Ann creates the most exacting quilling pieces, and pairs them delicately with wedding certificates and invitations. She also has a discerning eye for all the different ways we manipulate paper. Just like a newspaper, she edits out the clutter and delivers the best of paper creations by talented paper enthusiasts.
House #3 – Wide Pumpkin

I want to learn to quill. It looks like so much fun.
Such great creative ideas and files. Thanks so much!
I’m especially interested in learning how to do those perfectly symmetrical snowflakes. It’s the right time of year for THAT!
Love quilling and making cards also. This class would be perfect to get my confidence going!
I love quilling and cardmaking!! I would be very interested in seeing how the tree card with the hershey kiss is made. So cute! Thanks for the chance to win the class.
Qulling is such a fine art. And the finished products are amazing. I’m only a few months into quilling and really could use the lessons.
I haven’t quilled in several years. This makes me want to get started again.
Oh Thanks so much for sharing with the other ladies. I have a new blog to follow 😉
I’d also love to be in the draw for the craftsy class if I’m not too late.
Thanks! XO Nana

I like many crafts but I love to work with paper. I made quilled cards – and kept them all – but I would love to improve my technique a lot so I can actually send them to others. Like that cute owl card or for this Christmas a card with a perfect snowflake… Thank you so much for this chance to win your class. Hope to see you there.
Love your work, it inspires me!
Love Cecelia’s work. I have some of her files. Would love to win this class (or get the reduced price).
Would love to learn more about quilling. Thanks Cecelia for a chance to win.
The wide pumkin and the round pumkin seem to have the same template in the pdf files. Is that so or is it just me that can’t see the difference between the two templates??
Apart from that I love the tutorial and it’ll be fun to make all the pumpkins!!
