As I am self taught in the art of paper cutting, my style is a bit Papel Picado (Mexican paper cutting), part scherenschnitte (German paper craft) and a whole lot of me. I personally design and make every piece I sell.
For the individually cut note cards:
First I hand draw each image. After I am satisfied with the aesthetic look I redraw the image on the computer and size it up or down to the actual size it will end up being - 5x7 for cards and up to 18x24 for limited editions. After trial runs and many revisions, I am finally satisfied with my design. I then cut the designs with a laser cutter. This enables me to cut and reproduce beautiful images quickly and accurately. Each sheet is individually placed on the laser bed to be cut (unlike automatic feed on a printer), individually folded and sleeved in a clear acetate bag. Some of the note cards are lined with acid free paper before being sleeved with a matching envelope. These cards are cut on beautiful, smooth, and creamy natural Cougar card stock - either 65 or 80lb.
For the reproduced note cards:
These cards are scanned and printed reproductions of hand cut pieces. These were cut with scissors or x-acto knife, sometimes I use both. These are printed on a soft white lightweight card stock, sleeved with a matching envelope in clear acetate sleeves.
All cards are blank inside inviting your personal sentiments.
