love more

I’ve dabbled in the art of papercutting for more than a decade. Initially I used patterns I found online, but later I made a few of my own designs. My original work tends to be very simple, such as this tiny papercut I made a couple months ago.

The frame holds a picture that is less than three inches square, so I chose a very short inspirational phrase. I cut the words out of a sheet of white cardstock with my X-Acto knife, making the words and white frame all one continuous piece of paper, which I then mounted on a kraft background.

And now this little papercut sits on the shelf in our laundry room, serving as a frequent reminder to love, love, and love some more. Because really, no matter how much you’re loved, who wouldn’t benefit from more love?
