Here are some beautiful examples of cut paper that I gathered up from around the web.

The above are probably the easiest to attempt out of everything on this page, but I’m not fooling myself. It’s still hard. And time consuming.

My hands cramp just looking at this one. (The X-Acto knife was not my friend freshman or sophomore year. I would liken one of my professors to a spin-class instructor. Brutal.)

(Umm, gorgeous!)

Can I get this with his/our future initial, please?? (The paper curl art is by Yulia. Her work is my absolute favorite.)

Even my iGoogle homepage is paper (Martha Stewart)!

Which leads me to…

…this fabulous paper-flower backdrop for a wedding ceremony featured on Style Me Pretty. How awesome would this be for a photo booth background?

What is your inspiration?

This is so pretty. Although the teeny, tiny words are intense because it had to have taken so much time.

Love it! We used rice paper cutouts for our table numbers - the same vendor Mrs. Hot Cocoa featured from etsy. They were really gorgeous, and I think she does commission pieces too.

Beautiful examples! I too lack the exacto knife wielding skill… I wouldn’t have the patience to sit and cut all the little edges out without mistakes.

The paper curling reminds me of an elderly friend who started doing that before there were kits. She took an old fat plastic needlepoint metal needle, hacked off the end, nailed it into an old wooden spool and would roll the thin strips of paper she cut through the remaining eye of the needle. As she cut the end of the needle off, the paper slid right off. It was fascinating to watch her make and glue all these little shapes onto a card. =)

I am in mad love with all things paper. Unfortunately I am not nearly talented enough to create things as awesome as these!

I love paper art! My brother used to have a laser engraver/cutter; it was a sad, sad day when I found out he no longer had it. I had hopes of buying it off of him someday!
