It’ѕ Frі. Hurrаh.
I’1000 determined to principal the fine art of newspaper-cutting, so to help me inwards my quest, I’thousand adapting it to every bit many projects every bit I tin! Today, I’k sharing a postcard-manner newspaper-cutting thought, that also helps avoid the problems of tricky letters [I’1000 looking at you lot ‘a’, ‘d’, ‘o’, ‘p’, ‘r’, ‘q’ too ‘b’].
I picked upwards this bunch of difficult-to-photograph glittery goodness in HC – around £ii for xx ‘combat’ sheets, all only under A5 inward size.
[I hope that didn’t injure your eyes]
To create the uncomplicated phrases to cutting inward to the glitter carte du jour, I typed them speedily inwards a elementary, stylised font together with printed on to fighting paper – you don’t ask to worry too much nearly the lineament of this part – every bit long as you can brand out the outlines, that’s the important chip:
…describe around the outlines of the letters inwards a soft, dark pencil. I decided to create a font way that didn’t require the within ‘o’, ‘r’, ‘a’ and ‘p’ to live left – much easier to cutting!
To transfer this pattern on to the carte du jour, plough it over and lay the phrase confront downwardly on to the back, inwards live amongst where yous desire the design to transfer. With the same soft pencil, describe over the marked lines:
…these volition transfer them on to the dorsum of the bill of fare, reflected.
Next, y’all can set out cutting – I chose to practice this free-paw, but you can utilization a ruler to help and guide the cuts. For whatever curved lines, which are a picayune more tricky, lightly make your cuts inward pocket-sized sections, beingness careful not to cutting the bill of fare all the way through [this agency whatsoever mistakes tin can live easily fixed]. Then, i the sections are matched upwards, you can press a picayune harder to cutting all the way through the bill of fare and create a smoother cut:
Remove the cutting sections and voila. A unproblematic postcard, but amongst impact from the carte blueprint:
