Stacey is a super crafty woman: she possesses some skills I wish I had access to. Thankfully, I DO have access to them - yesterday we had craft time together... and I got to keep the craft!
I found the idea of Papercutting on another blog and thought it would be a fun/inexpensive idea to try, with the main goal of sprucing up our Guest Room / Future Nursery. We already had the frames, and the templates were free on this fascinating website, so all I had to buy was cute paper (dollar store!) and exacto knives ($5).
Thankfully Stacey went for the ultra complicated designs so I could fumble with the less curvy (read - no balloons) templates. They turned out really well - now I'm interested to see the result of Brianna, who has also considered the Papercutting endeavour!
woahhh yours look amazing..where did you get that paper??? I did a practice run last weekend, but I haven't been able to use a printer with card stock (I have some plain white cardstock)...don't worry..I'll do it..eventually :p
ReplyDeleteWe got a pack of 10 sheets of scrapbooking paper from the dollar store (for $1)! The knife we used though was from Wal Mart, and it was like an exacto knife (well it was) but it had a loop that goes around your finger so you can maneouvre better.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't print on to card stock - I printed onto regular paper, and then basically taped the regular paper to the scrapbook paper - so when we cut out on regular paper, the scrapbook paper cut, too. If that makes sense. If not I can post a pic!
ohhh amazing!! :) I am going to do just that! So helpful!! Sorry I haven't got around to it yet but I plan on doing it in the near future :)
ReplyDeletePS: You chose some hard ones!! Im proud of your craftiness!!
