A Baby's First Paper Cut

Here's a commission I just sent off to celebrate the birth of a new baby girl. I was asked to create something for the new baby and also for her sister, with the idea that there could be more kids to come in the future who might need their own paper cut. I chose a simple concept so that if they ever get a little baby brother or sister, it would be easy to make a new one to go with them.

And good news - these are now up on Etsy! The designs are 4"x7" and completely customizable. They can come in a 6x8" floating frame, or you can order them unframed. To request a commission, simply email papercutsbykatie@gmail.com, or head to Etsy using the link at the top of the page.

A Wedding Commission

Here's a commission I did recently for someone who needed a gift for an upcoming wedding. The only personalization is the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date. For the rest, I was told to just come up with something. A summer wedding? Why not flowers in a heart shape!

A Mother's Day Card

I know it's been a while...my full time job as a health coach has sort of been interfering with my paper cutting. But the good news is, I've got a few commissions in the works so there should be some more posts in the near future!

Here's a card I did recently for my own dear mom for Mother's Day. I wanted to focus on intricate lines and chose a floral theme that seemed fitting with the holiday.



Since it is very intricate and delicate, I chose not to mount it or back it on anything so as not to lose any of the detail in the background. I simply put it in the envelope shown above with some card stock to make sure it didn't get bent en route. Now it's free for my mom to either frame it in a floating frame, or mount it on a window so that the sun can shine through it, like in the picture below!
