These are very easy to create using coordinating papers and blank cards.
The fans are 2.5" x 8", accordion folded lengthwise at 1/4". I score my folds first with a quilling needle tool and ruler. Pinch and gather at the bottom and hold with a clip or clothespin. Turn over flat and glue underneath to hold the fan shape.
Make a punched flower or use another embellishment if you don't quill. The loose tendrils are strips of paper cut 1/16" wide. Wrap the strips loosely around a toothpick or small dowel and adjust the tension to your liking. Or you may want to or draw, paint or print a flourish.
I like to make matching embossed tags, use distressed ink or chalk and a craft thread through the eyelet.
I am thinking Christmas fan cards using some beautiful papers I bought too late last year :)
Have fun!
