Slice like a ninja.
Cut like a razor blade

I believe in the truth of fairy-tales more than I believe in the truth in the newspaper.
Lotte Reiniger, papercutting queen
Many years ago, I started figuring out how to cut paper with a craft blade. There weren’t many how-to books, so I tried to figure it out on my own. With a lot of trial and error, I began making a few without cutting through the paper or myself. Figuring that the best way to learn was to teach, I started making weekly templates to help others try their hand at the art. Here are some of those templates. The simpler ones are free. The more detailed ones have a small fee. I hope you enjoy learning about this art as much as I do.
