this is a piece i designed and made for my lovely Step Mum Carla last year for her birthday. it was based on the Peruvian flag, including some things i know she loves, like chillies, candles, oysters, champagne, stars, bows and a heart!
it just so happens her birthday was yesterday (i know i'm a day late, but i have a baby ok?) so HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLA!!! thank you for everything you have done for me over the last year, both Max and I really appreciate you being around.

a very bittersweet announcement...
i have stopped taking commissions for this year.
i am now fully booked until i go on maternity leave in July. as much as i would love to say yes to everybody there are just not enough hours in the day, and i don't want to over do it at the moment! I will start taking commissions again in the new year, but will still be checking my email, so please get in touch if you have any queries.
i will still be updating this blog weekly (hopefully) with past commissions so you don't forget about me!
this piece was commissioned by a lovely lady who found me via pinterest. she wanted to commission me to design and cut a piece which she could then use as wedding invitations. the piece was later professionally scanned and printed to provide her with lots of invites! she wanted me to include the main wedding details, the two of them together and a little something to describe each one, in this case a rugby ball and a cake! their wedding was last weekend, i hope she had a wonderful day!
i have decided to stop work in July in order to organise myself and try to rest (without feeling guilty about it)... also by then i'm not sure if i'll be able to reach my cutting mat!
therefore i will have to stop accepting commissions as of early June in order to get everything done in time. so if you are thinking of getting a commission for this year, please get in contact before June to avoid disappointment! i will of course make last calls and let it be known if i have any spaces or sudden bursts of energy (ha!). After this i will start taking commissions again in the new year!
over my leave, once i learn the art of multi tasking with a baby, i will be reading and replying to emails as usual (but probably not as quickly), so please get in touch if you have questions, i also still have a back catalog of commissions i will be posting to this blog, so you don't forget what a paper cut is.
however my main source of contact with the outside world will be my personal blog paper & pasta, where i will try to share what i learn about becoming an actual parent and will use as a place to put the inevitable baby photos without my other social medias becoming too 'wallet in the face'y...
described perfectly here, thanks family guy...
this is an A5 commissioned piece i made for a previous recipient of a paper cut (a nice glittery one!) who wanted to give her best friend a special wedding gift. i was told that the couple got engaged after doing a skydive (what an epic day that must have been!) and that they love cupcakes and the countryside. this is what i came up with...
if you are interested in a commission or would like to find out a bit more about the process please feel free to email me at emma@emma-daniels.co.uk
this is a piece i made for some awesome friends of mine who had moved house. i didn't know what to put in the cut as i wasn't able to google map the front of the house, but some swearing later, it got me thinking that it didn't really matter what the house was like, as they are just so in love! YES it sounds cheesy, but it's a fact. so i themed it on the idea that home is wherever they are together. i later got to visit their house and i can happily tell you it is indeed very nice, and that they are still ridiculously in love!
if you fancy a commission for yourself, or as a gift someone you quite like, please feel free email me and ask lots of questions.... emma@emma-daniels.co.uk
this was a commissioned birthday card i made for a special one year old. i was told he loves music and nature, so was asked to include; trees, birds, an old fashioned radio and bass speakers (he is a very cool sounding one year old!). it was given to him as a card and is now framed and on the wall in his nursery!
if you would like to talk to me about prices or a commission idea please feel free to email me on emma@emma-daniels.co.uk
this a4 heart cut was a gift for a lovely couple who live in Australia, from a proud dad back in England. it was to celebrate the couple moving into their newly built house. i was given a VERY long list of things that they like and do, and asked to put it into a heart shape. this is what they got...
hello! sorry i was far too distracted with my paper & pasta blog last week so plain forgot to add a new commission on here!
this piece is an A3 hand drawn and hand cut paper cut commission for a lovely lady who wanted something for herself for her birthday. she gave me a list of things, and particularly a list of plants that were important to her, which i then made into this...

this is an a5 commission i made for a beautiful lady looking for something special to give her friend as a wedding gift. armed with the knowledge of where, when, and roughly the cut of the brides dress i came up with this. it was popped in a lovely glass on glass frame and hopefully wrapped in lots of bubble wrap!
if you have any questions about my commissions or would like to chat to me about an idea you have please don't hesitate to email me at emma@emma-daniels.co.uk i'm friendly i promise!
