Ya know, every time I start to write scherenschnitte, I have to go look it up. Maybe I'll start calling it paper cutting and be done with it!
I recently re-discovered paper cutters, my new favorite site for scherenschnitte (I mean paper cutting) patterns. (My other favorite is still Basteln mit Elisabeth.
Like so many things in life, it's a little cumbersome to wade through to get to the good stuff. What I would do for an index!
I've finally kinda-sorta figured out how to get a good vector trace to cut with Craft Robo, so I've been on the prowl for good patterns.
This one is from the book called Back Street Designs Holiday Collection. I filled in the other half of the pattern (duplicate and flip) and then created DXF and GSD versions for cutting files.
The cutting file is a bit rough. My Craft Robo stutters a lot cutting it and you have to pickpickpick the little bits out of the finished piece with a pair of tweezers. If I were a little more obsessive I would go back and close all the almost closed shapes. But...whatever, it's good enough.
You are welcome to it. Personal use only!
Here's the pop up card I made with it. Tutorial coming along soon.
