Here I have created some mixed difficulty papercuts to give you an exciting challenge without you having to spend time creating your own design. All you will need is a cutting mat and scalpal of your choice. These can be purschased from most art and craft shops online or in the highstreet. <br />
<br />
The papercutting templates are provided in various digital file types, from png's that are reversed for hand cutting through to scalable PDF's, SVG's for those who want to cut them on digital machines such as the Cricut and the Silhouette Cameo amoungst other models. Another file type available is a vector EPS file, which allows you to print the design on various objects, from cushions and posters to mugs and keyrings. We have <a href="http://www.paperpetal.co.uk/papercut-templates">papercut templates for all ages</a> and interests at Paper Petal.<br />

And it’s definitely the marmite date of all the events celebrated throughout the year! It’s the one day in the calendar that’s guaranteed polarise opinion! Understandably, some single people hate the occasion, whether that be because it reminds them of their single status, or because they hate the idea that romance is just focused on one day in the whole year! Couples seem to either fall into two categories, ones who don’t mark the occasion, and the others who go all out and do the whole gift giving and romantic meal!<br />
<br />
I personally love it, but I guess that’s because I have a lovely husband who likes to spoil me! I always get the ‘traditional’ valentines presents of chocolate and flowers. But he also always gets me a special present too that is more meaningful.<br />
<br />
And I know that there are plenty of men (and women) out there just like my husband, as our papercuts are always popular <i>valentines gifts</i>. They are the perfect present if you want something a little more personalised or special. And this year, I’ve had the privilege of creating a very special paper cut indeed, it’s for a wedding proposal, how amazing is that?! I’m hoping that she says yes (only 4 more weeks to go until I find out!)<br />

As soon as my daughter’s birthday is out of the way at the end of October, the shops seem to be filled with copious amounts of tinsel, glitter and sparkle, TV is overrun with Christmas adverts and the supermarkets are blasting out Christmas songs!<br />
<br />
I'm not complaining, as I love all things Christmas! But it's a big reminder that I need to make a serious start to my Christmas shopping list. Especially as I am now 28 weeks pregnant, I feel like I should be more prepared in case the baby decides to put in an early appearance! (Although fingers crossed it doesn’t, because as much as I love Christmas, I’m not so keen on having a Christmas baby).<br />
<br />
So I really should make a start on my Christmas shopping list. I don't know about you, but I always prefer to buy handcrafted items. They always feel more personal and they are definitely more unique. Plus, I prefer to support other crafters and local businesses where I can. And I know I’m not the only one, as the run up to Christmas is always super busy here at Paper Petal. Whether it be people wanting our Christmas themed papercuts as a unique addition to decorating their homes for Christmas, or people wanting to have that special unique gift for their loved ones. We have paper cuts for all ages and interests at Paper Petal.<br />

Last month I celebrated my first ever wedding anniversary (exciting huh!), and I had spent quite a lot of thought into the perfect present to celebrate the occasion. As many of you will know each wedding anniversary has a theme, such as paper for the 1st anniversary, wood for the 5th anniversary and silver for the 25th anniversary.<br />
<br />
What I didn't know until I did a bit of research, was that until around the 1930's, only 8 anniversaries had a material associated with them. They were the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 50th, and 75th anniversaries. But nowadays we have a material for all anniversaries!<br />
<br />
I don't know if it's because I am recently married, but the first anniversary felt like a really big milestone and I wanted to give a gift that reflected not only the milestone, but also the tradition of it being paper too. And I know I'm not the only one. The majority of the custom papercuts that I am asked to create are to celebrate 1st wedding anniversaries. And I just love to hear other couples special lyrics or quotes, especially as I know I'm going to turn them in to a beautiful anniversary keepsake for them!<br />

Adored and admired by many (especially me!). I used to spend my childhood dreaming of Peter Pan adventures, flying to the mystical world of Neverland. As I’m a big fan of the story, I decided to design and cut a collection of Peter Pan scenes to remind me of those childhood memories. <br />
<hr /><br />
<h3>Come with me where dreams are born</h3>This lovely starry night scene whisks you away to the memories of Neverland. The phrase within the scene is "So come with me where dreams are born and time is never planned. Just think of happy things and the heart with grow on wings forever in our neverland" Phrase can be personalised.<br />
<br />

<hr /><h3>Flight to Neverland</h3>This magical Peter Pan papercutting scene includes Peter tempting Wendy to fly with him to a mystical, magical world that exists within a star, named Neverland.<br />
<br />

<hr /><br />
<h3>Never Grow Up</h3>Here we have a layered shadowbox papercut scene with the foreground encorporating Captain Hook battling with Peter Pan in Neverland. Captian hooks pirate ship sails on the sea with palm trees and the phrase 'never grow up' in the foreground. This <a href="http://www.paperpetal.co.uk/papercut-templates#storybook-papercut-templates">Peter Pan piece is a template</a> for budding crafters to cut themselves and mount it in a box frame using foam board to create the depth between the two layers. You can even add stars to the background and enclose a led light in the frame if your feeling super adventurous :)<br />

<h3>Peter Pan's Escape</h3>For my second Peter Pan paper cut, I focused on the Darling children and Peter, flying away from the crooked Captain Hook. In the paper cut, Hook is confronted by a creepy crocodile, and battles with him on a collection of rocks, whilst <a href="http://www.paperpetal.co.uk/peterpan_flying_papercut.html">Peter Pan</a> makes his escape. The background of the design, shows Captain Hook’s ship in the water, as well as magical swirls of stars flowing from the flying characters. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSAJ5VDYvFrcdvTqvbK62UqBH9fk41q8aVNH6PBJPgYca2lZM9feSqrj5IMlz2mURTGtQ4fezRSvPQewOZ2PC-AfENl2aTRbgWMEYMBSz3jPCbXpM_CvY_KR1Q3VqvGsVVitBIILpVCpK/s1600/peterpan_flying_papercut2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="London Peter Pan papercut" border="0" height="473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSAJ5VDYvFrcdvTqvbK62UqBH9fk41q8aVNH6PBJPgYca2lZM9feSqrj5IMlz2mURTGtQ4fezRSvPQewOZ2PC-AfENl2aTRbgWMEYMBSz3jPCbXpM_CvY_KR1Q3VqvGsVVitBIILpVCpK/s1600/peterpan_flying_papercut2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<hr /><h3>The Fierce Battle</h3>The third Peter Pan design I created, is set on the island of Neverland, where a fierce battle commences. This <a href="http://www.paperpetal.co.uk/peter_pan_neverland_paper_cut.html">Peter Pan papercut scene</a> is filled with action as Captain Hook fends off Peter and a Crocodile, whilst Wendy and Tinkerbell watch with fright. The background of this scene shows a cliff face of the island with jagged rock below, and a cloudy night, with a moon in the sky. In this deign, I focused on the detail of the characters, by using miniature cuts to emphasis the key features of each character.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="clear: both;">
We are Paper Petal. By ‘we’, I mean Graham and Melanie. We are a husband and wife team, who design, cut and frame all of our beautiful paper cuts by ourselves.<br />
<br />
Graham has always been a creative type. In his day job he works as a web designer. Melanie’s day job isn’t creative at all. She’s a cost management analyst, but she does love doing all things crafty with our little girl Emily.<br />
<br />
Emily is the reason we started <a href="http://www.paperpetal.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paper Petal</a>. It all started nearly 3 years ago, when we had just bought a house and were very heavily pregnant. We didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl, so we went for a neutral theme. We looked online for inspiration, and came across wall decals and thought that they were a brilliant idea. But being the fussy people that we are, we couldn’t find anything that was just perfect, so we decided to design our own. We drew out various designs onto paper, but thought if we could cut them out, it would give us a better idea of how it would look. So that’s what we did, and that is how we discovered a secret hidden talent, and the rest is history!</div>
