A papercut you’ll want to receive!

Personalised, handmade papercut from Twenty Fingers | H is for Home

Hi guys! We’ve got a wonderful giveaway offer this month from Lana & Ivan over at Twenty Fingers.

We’ve recently had a wedding in the family – and we presented the happy the couple with this gorgeous, framed papercut to commemorate their big day.

You could go for the kettle, toaster or cruet set gift option, but we felt that this is a more personal choice. If you missed the big day, paper is the traditional 1st anniversary gift, so you’ve got a second bite of the cherry!

A papercut can be displayed against a wall or window – and are a perfect reminder of a special occasion. It’s not all about weddings, though – it makes a great gift to yourself or others for all manner of event or celebration.

Etsy List: Dream Stationery

'Dream Stationery' Etsy List curated by H is for Home

As a child of the 70s, I remember being part of that great stationery collecting craze. I vividly remember having Garfield, Holly Hobbie and ‘Love Is…‘ note pads in my stash of paper, envelopes and cards. For a while, everyone at school collected and traded scratch & sniff stickers and erasers.

Way back then, I used to write actual letters; I had pen-pals half way across the world. I wrote thank you notes – with a real pen… on actual paper – to grandparents and other family members for birthday and Christmas presents I’d received.

This Etsy List contains paper items that are somewhat more mature and refined… but still with a sense of fun. These days, I use stationery for business, to plan my year, write lists, take messages and just to be able to remember things from one minute to the next – the memory isn’t what it used to be!

We also think that they’re great for use as Christmas decorations – and we’ve been experimenting in our own house this week.

They’re very easy to use. The sheets can be applied directly to the wall using the paste mixture supplied or mounted on movable & re-usable boards which adds a further dimension of flexibility.

Even though I do a whole lot less writing these days, I rarely leave Paperchase without some beautiful handmade paper, notebook, pretty coloured ink pen or some-such. I guess I’ve never stopped being that little paper goods magpie of yore!
