Children's name papercuts

Did these quite a while ago now but again, like the wedding papercuts, I enjoy doing these. I try to include things that the child likes (i.e. cats and picnics!)

Wedding table numbers

My sister in law got married last year and she wanted to have papercut table numbers to frame. Pretty happy with the result. Will have to excuse the rubbish photo, should have taken a better picture-these were done in my lunch worktime at my desk! The result was pretty good, with white shabby chic frames and gold glittery backgrounds to match the wedding theme.

Art Deco wedding papercut

A wedding papercut for a couple who love dogs and art deco. Quite pleased with the result, especially with a black frame and floating above a gold glitter background. Quite different to the ones I usually do.

Wedding papercuts

Have been doing a couple of these over the past couple of years, thought I would share. They all slightly vary from eachother in design so are all different. Love doing these, make great wedding gifts, especially if tied into the couple's wedding colour scheme.

Animal handprint papercuts

Just found these in my drawer from when my daughter was smaller and wanted to share them. I like to be creative with children's painted handprints, for example; turning them into animals. Couldn't see why that couldn't translate with papercuts, so I took a couple of Annie's handprints and adapted it so it could be cut as an animal and from one piece of paper whilst still looking like a handprint and an animal (just did this by drawing on the handprint with a pencil) I then cut it out using my scalpel and then flipped it round, results are below. Was happy with the fish one, but not so happy with the elephant. 

 

For Annie

So just found this in my drawer- it was a papercut I did for my daughter Annie in 2014 when she was a baby. Totally forgot I had done this. It is done using 3 pieces of paper, the top layer is cream, the second layer is blue (with a darker blue printed for behind the tree) which has stars cut out, showing the third cream layer. It uses part of  my favourite verse from Edgar Allen Poe's poem 'For Annie'

'But my heart it is brighter 

Than all of the many 

Stars in the sky, 

For it sparkles with Annie— 

It glows with the light 

Of the love of my Annie— 

With the thought of the light 

Of the eyes of my Annie. ' - Edgar Allen Poe
