Ever wanted to try paper cutting yourself? 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.

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 papercut templates for all ages and interests at Paper Petal.

Unique Valentines Gifts

Unique Valentines Gift Ideas

It’s not long now until Valentines day.  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!

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.

And I know that there are plenty of men (and women) out there just like my husband, as our papercuts are always popular valentines gifts.  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!)

How it all started


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.

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.

Emily is the reason we started Paper Petal.  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!
