Zebra and other cuts

These are pages from a sketchbook I keep for my experiments with my cutting machine.

The zebra was cut from. black card on a painted background.

I used the apple cut as a stencil [not the neatest painting]

The butterfly is yellow card on a painted background.

The following I cut and used as stencils, some from card [cereal boxes] some from plastic [folders].

Pink card cut outs. 

The green bricks are part of stencil - I stopped the machine half way through as the plastic wasn't fully secure.

Cut Work Book - Pages 61-71

The final pages of this book.

Sketchbook 50

This book is for my collection of paper cuts. These were mainly designed on my tablet, transferred to the computer, then brought into 'Make the Cut' as a pixel trace and then cut with my cutting machine. The machine is a KNK Zing Air and all on this post were cut on thin card. 

Border Cut Cards

My first border cut cards using my Zing. The cuts are not perfect but I think I know what the problem was - a dirty mat. The blue one was created using basic shapes in MTC [Make the cut], the white one I created on my tablet then brought it in to MTC to add it to a card shape and then cut it on the Zing.

Wedding Card

A card a made for a couple who were married last Friday. 

My own design but I used my Zing cutting machine to cut it all out.

Handmade Stamps

I recently bought a cutting machine, a KNK Zing Air. One of the first things I cut was fun foam to make some stamps. The birds were images I found on the web, the rabbit and frog with snail were drawings from my sketchbook and the hare was from a photograph of some decorative architecture relief. I stuck the foam shapes to wood, cardboard and an old plastic card.
