Pretty autumn florals sunflower svg papercutting project tutorial...

Craft tutorial for this floral sunflower svg - layered papercutting example. You could also create this design in other materials, such as layered vinyl, iron-on vinyl, stencilling etc.

Ideal for use with cutting machines such as Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut - but can also be cut by hand.

This project uses my layered floral sunflower svg cut file from Etsy - available for instant download.

​The file is available in SVG, DXF, EPS & PNG formats so is suitable for a wide range of different cutting machines or for cutting by hand.
​

The multi-coloured effect is produced by layering up of colours - so the file includes all the different coloured layers you need to create the design in four colours...

I'm hoping to extend summer a little with my gorgeous sunflower SVG cutting files (SVG, PNG, EPS, DXF) - hand-drawn designs specially created for machine cutting or hand-cut crafts...

Three separate sunflower SVG files are available, plus one bundle file which contains all together...

Beautiful butterfly SVG cutting files for papercutting, cutting machines, hand-cutting, vinyl crafts and other crafting...

All the files are hand-drawn and created by me from scratch - the lovely butterfly papercut template files are layered so that you can use them as a single delicate layer or layer up for a multi-colour effect.

Files are available as SVG, EPS, DXF and PNG formats so are suitable for cutting machines such as Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut, Sure Cuts a Lot and more. You can also use the cut files with other design programmes and the PNG file allows you to papercut by hand or to print out the deisgn.

The files are available for personal and small-business commercial use - in both cases for physical products only (no digital products or sharing). You can read the terms of use here...

A beautiful cat and mouse SVG file for cutting machines, papercrafting, papercutting, vinyl crafts and more - personal and small business commercial use...

My cat and mouse cut file can be used for cutting machines including Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut and more, also various design programmes, or hand-cutting and printing - use with paper, card, vinyls, fabrics, light woods, acetates etc. The file can't be used in digital formats.

I hand-draw all my designs - this one is based on a design I did several years ago that's always been a favourite of mine. I added some floral patterns and adapted the style to suit a cutting file format. I think this is a very sweet design with an art nouveau style to it - perfect for themes of friendship, love, and for the nursery.

The file is layered - there's the intricate cut layer (top layer) which you can see above, plus a base silhouette layer that can be underlaid to give a multi-colour effect if you wish.

Understand where you are in your own artistic adventure and start to make more meaningful art…

The aim of this page is to help you start to understand your own artistic journey.

This is important as an awareness of what you like, or don’t like, what attracts you, what you’re curious about can help you to make the right decision about what to focus on in your art…

So that you’re not wasting time drawing stuff that you’re not interested in, or developing techniques that don’t do it for you.
​
This will also make your art more enjoyable for you, more meaningful, and more fulfilling. 

​Perhaps there are particular subject matters, themes, or questions that you want to explore, things you’re curious about...

Something new and exciting for autumn 2021 - designs to help you with your craft and creative projects...

I've spent most of the summer enjoying exploring paper cutting, something I learnt initially at school and have revisited on and off since.

​I now have a new Cricut 'Maker' machine which does the intricate cuts for me (no more slicing and dicing fingers with a craft knife!) so I've been learning how to adapt my drawings to designs to make the digital files that the machine can read. Here are some I made earlier!

Enjoy the ride! In this modern world, where we can have, and must have, everything faster, bigger, better, brighter, louder, overdosing on experience… these three words ‘enjoy the ride’ always seem to evoke a rollercoaster-like experience. Fast – adrenalin-pumping, thrill-filled, awesome – enjoy the ride…

Living life in the fast lane isn’t for everyone though. For me – and perhaps for you, too – the ride is more enjoyable at a slower pace...

Especially now, 18 months into the pandemic, I believe that by living 'slow' we can gain the respite and perspective we need to recover and heal - as it's been a difficult period for us all in some way, no matter our individual circumstances.

Whilst I do believe we shouldn’t waste whatever life-time has been allotted to us, I don’t, personally, think that life in the fast lane enables us to experience life to its fullest glories.

‘Slow’ is always seen as a poor cousin to the glorious ‘fast’ – but living life in the slow lane allows us to really appreciate and connect with what’s going on around us – whether it’s our significant relationships, or feeling a deeper connection with our natural world.

Living life in the slow lane is the artists’ way – taking a little more time to notice and connect with all the wonderful things that most people completely miss...

Learning to make better art by loosening up, not worrying, getting curious... and playing!

Art isn’t about doing it ‘properly’ or doing it the ‘right’ way.

True creativity is about curiosity, exploration and play so that you can create great drawings in your own way…

The objective of this drawing lesson is to start to develop a creative mindset with a light-hearted (playful) and curious attitude towards your art-making

(…and today, that actually doesn’t involve ANY drawing!).

This is important because it really helps you not to take your art too seriously!

This allows you to disengage yourself with the end-result and enjoy the process – feeling free to experiment and have fun.
​
This is far more enjoyable for you and it also creates innovative and fresh art and helps you to develop your own unique style when you do get back to your drawing...

Celtic Otters art plus a look at the Celtic folklores, myths and meanings around otters... 

Graceful and playful, the otter is one of our rarest, but most cherished wild animals…

I’ve only been lucky enough to see one otter in the wild – busy eating a fish on a rock by the shore on the remote island of Jura in the west coast of Scotland. A very special sighting and memory!
