Hello crafters!
Today we will quill some cardstock. By using thin strips of paper, this is the perfect challenge to use your scraps. I recommend to use 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide strips and thin cardstock. I used 65lb cs from Michaels .
I started to curl my paper with my bone folder than wrapped it around my needle tool to get a tighter circle. When I was happy with it, I snipped of the excess paper and just used a tiny amount of liquid glue to keep it together. You can make them tight or loose, it is really up to you.
I made two examples. On my first one I used a stencil and filled it up with my different sized and colored coils. On the second card I just created a simple design of my own. The best way to glue them to your card is to put some liquid glue on a piece of scrap paper and dip your coils in it and place it on your card. Tweezers help!

For the twist, we are just dumping a good amount of embossing powder on the desired location and heating it up from the bottom so the powder doesn't go everywhere. Let it cool for a couple seconds and than press your stamp in to it to leave an impression. Red rubber stamps work safe with this.
If you don't have embossing powder you can create this by using a glue gun. Just push out a glob of glue and after a few seconds just press your stamp in to it ( second sample )
I didn't ruin my stamp but to be on the safe side you can always try it with an older stamp or with one you don't care for.

I hope you will give this a try.
Happy crafting!
