I have to admit that my right hand is in bad shape.  Ever since I figured out how to make these dimensional paper cut cards I can't stop making them!

It all started because my friend Cheryl received this laser cut birthday card:

Koalacard
I saw it and thought, I can do that!  I snapped this iPhone photo and started cutting.

I think they look super amazing.  And I'm loving the brain tease of designing them!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • WOW! Only you could enjoy the challenge of the design. Needless to say my frustration would cause me to have a ball of cut paper in front of me while you have a work of art.

  • Julie, You must stop with the great ideas. I have too many things to do already! For Mother’s Day I made my mom a card with your banner idea from a week or so ago. She loved it, but compared to yours it was “epic fail”! Of course finishing it up in the car on the way to lunch couldn’t have helped…This paper cutting reminds me of scherenshnitte, a German papercutting technique I did years ago.
