"For the first National Quilling Day, we want to make as much noise as possible. With your help and shared passion for quilling, we can bring more eyes to this craft. We’d love it if you’d participate and help celebrate quilling." - declared by the Quilling Card company, the event organizer.

Quilling Card chose May 10 because that was the company's launch date back in 2012. What a fitting way to celebrate their tenth anniversary!

If you've never had the chance to see the quilled greeting card selection and additional items that are created by the Quilling Card company's master artisans in Vietnam, you just might be amazed. Their precise technique, often paired with a watercolor printed background, is simply exquisite. 

 

You'll find Quilling Card greeting cards in many locations around the country including museum, gift, and flower shops. I've even come across a selection in the Wild Birds Unlimited stores in my area and have received two cards in the mail from friends at Christmastime that you can be sure I've saved.

Huong Nguyen Wolf, the company's co-founder, is a native of Vietnam whose original career was in Marketing for large corporations in Southeast Asia and the U.S. In 2011 she left her job to pursue her passion for quilling by joining with her husband Raphael to create the Fair Trade Federation greeting card company.

In addition to greeting cards, the company has added quilled journals, wall art, sticky note pad covers, earrings, 3D ornaments, and quilling kits to the online shop. They also have several styles of wood shadow box frames that are just the right size to display their 6" x 6" greeting cards. Custom designs can be created for companies and events.
