About a month ago I took a paper cutting workshop from Bmore Papercuts. It was so much fun and ever since then I've been wanting to try more! For my birthday I got a set of x-acto knives and a cutting mat, so that was perfect!
The other day I cut up some kraft card stock into 4x6 cards and decided to just start cutting. I had found some cute (short!) quotes on Pinterest so I tried using what I had learned at the workshop to cut some cute stuff! And I did!
I can't post pictures of most of them yet, but here's one I did with some lyrics from a Sondre Lerche song that I love called Modern Nature :)
I practiced doing negative and positive space with the lettering. Writing backwards is a little hard but I got pretty good at it since I did so many that day :)
Here's one that I made for Alex for Christmas! Don't worry, I already gave it to him!
I need to get a frame for it and put some colored paper behind it, and we'll be good to go!
I had so much fun and I'm getting lots of ideas of things I want to try. When I went to the Last Stop Hops-n-Shop show the other night, I looked closely at Annie's papercuts (from Bmore Papercuts) that were for sale to get some ideas, too! She does such small details and all of her cuts look so smooth! I need to practice a ton!
Thanks for reading!
