The Art of Paper Cutting

The Art of Paper Cutting to enhance all your projects.


There are many ways to practise the art of paper cutting to get the looks you want for your cardmaking projects and all have their own special qualities.

Whether you want to add paper ribbons and Bows or just create a different shape.

Try Paper Pleating ... Piecing ... or just simply tearing the paper can all give a different feel to each card.











But here is one paper cutting system that can give you results easily and quickly.

This Freestyle Mouse Cutting Kit is so versatile.

It is from Purple Cows and features their Click Blade system.

This makes it very easy to swap and change the blades for a different look each time.

The blade won't cut the paper until it is pressed down.



In the kit you will get the mouse, 10 fancy edged blades, a straight edge and a perforating blade.

All of them stored in their own "click" holder so that you can keep them on your work top safely, and ready to use whenever you want them.

(They work very well with a Glass Cutting Mat.

You are supplied in the kit with a cutting mat and a ruler with a central slot.

The slot helps you to place the freestyle mouse for a straight line...

... or to help you use the fancy blades in a straight line too.

You can create some lovely edges to your paper ribbons in this way, or to the edges of your Matting and Layering

(The pattern in this cut is quite intricate and the photo does not give the real effect)

But of course as the name suggests you can also use the mouse "freestyle" and get an individual look.

Take the mouse and press the blade down and run it through the paper to give the desired shape you want.

Have a play with this very versatile tool and practise the art of cutting paper.



I have the Purple Cows Paper Trimmer which also has the "ckick Blade" system.

All of these blades can also be used in that equipement and so giving me a greater versatility in my cardmaking.
