Fresh Off The Cutting Mat!

Realised I had quite a few photos of recent commissions that I hadn't even taken off my camera so thought I'd finally have an edit. I've had lots of orders for personalised hand cut poster papercuts lately but, with moving house and studio, I often haven't had time to photograph them before running to the Post Office to send them to their new owners. Here are a few of my latest scalpelled creations that I did snap though...

Christmas Post Dates, Papercut Pretties & Giveaway!

Hurrah! I've emerged from my piles of paper to do a quick Storeyshop update. My studio really needs tidying as there is even more paper on the desk and floor than normal. All good though, as I have been merrily scalpelling away. I'm excitedly waiting for a magazine to come out with my papercut winter wonderland inside, just about keeping up with card and poster orders and also working on a range of design projects.


I have been freelancing a lot aswell. Designers across the land seem to be taking their last few days or weeks of holiday before the new year and I'm filling their seats and doing their work while they're away! It makes for some late nights, trying to keep up with orders at the same time, but also means I get to mingle in normal studios and offices and give my hands a break from scalpelling. I even got invited to a real work's Christmas do. Result! Sorry for the lack of recent blog posts, especially my 'I Want Wednesday' lovely shop recommendations but normal service will resume very soon!

Right, the dull but important stuff. Last Christmas posting dates:

MON 5TH DEC - South & Central America, Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, Asia, Far East, Australia and New Zealand
FRIDAY 9TH DEC - Europe, United States and Canada
MONDAY 19TH - UK

Please bear in mind that these are the dates I'll need to have orders made and packed by. Current waiting time for hand cut orders is around 10 days so please order as early as possible to avoid disappointment. As with all my estimated shipping times, these dates are a guide and delivery will not be guaranteed to arrive in time for the big day. I'll do my best though!

I'll leave you with a couple of my latest papercut posters...

















ps. In case you haven't seen on my Facebook page, I am having a little giveaway this week. Just head over to the Storeyshop page and 'like' and/or comment on my status about the giveaway. Winner will receive their choice of laser cut card absolutely free! I'll announce the winner on Friday. Good luck!

New Storeyshop Papercuts

I've been cutting lots of tiny stripes after designing these new papercuts. The black 'More than you'll ever know' one is based on the papercut I gave to Mr Storeyshop on our first wedding anniversary in April. Ever since that one (and even though it took ages to cut!) I've had other more intricate cut out designs up my sleeve.























The next papercut was a recent custom order for a first wedding anniversary gift. The commission was to make the design ornate and romantic. I loved cutting this one and included a few little initials and dates through the design, as I was cutting.

New Custom Papercut Posters

Bit slow on the blogging front lately but I have a very good excuse: Lots of lovely Storeyshop orders including personalised cards, notebooks and posters. My scalpel and I are very busy! Here are a couple of recent hand cut poster orders. I definitely need to work on my photography skills but I loved cutting these and I like the subtle white on white when they are shown against a white wall...










Think I might make hand cut some more posters as Christmas presents for a few friends and family members. The plan is to go completely handmade for pressies this year; either by making things myself or treating folks to gorgeous handmade items by other makers. I shall keep you posted with some fab festive finds over the next few weeks!

ps. GIVEAWAY TIME! I have finally got round to creating a Facebook page for Storeyshop. When I reach 200 fans/likes, I will be selecting one fan at random to receive a special Storeyshop treat. Tell your friends and good luck!
