Layered Paper Cut Ocean frame!

Again I say, I aspire. Nice work!

[adsilike]

Wow, this is very nice! Can I buy the file???

Welcome to the forum. Just a head’s up that it is against forum rules to ask for files. If someone wants to make files available they will be in the Free Laser Design section. Perhaps you could send a private message to the maker and make an offer to purchase, but in the open forum this isn’t allowed.

Cool! I saw this same file on Shutterstock and wanted to try it out. Glad it came out well. I like the colors you used.

I’m assuming it’s acrylic paint?

[LaserCutLife]

Shutterstock has it

As indicated in the title, this is a layered paper cut.

[LaserCutLife]

Gotcha, cuz I’ve seen people cut ‘paper cut’ designs in 1/8” or “1/16” and paint them, then layer them.

[LaserCutLife]

What do you separate the layers with?

Foam tape?

[cordioli]

Do they have it? Really!? Can you send me the code of the file? Thanks!

[cordioli]

Yes, foam tape!’

[cordioli]

They are coloured paper. Didn’t paint anything!

[joann.freed]

Do you recommend any particular type/brand of paper?

[cordioli]

To be honest, take as thicker paper you find… don’t have a specific brand… There are lots out there… Mine I bought at the supermarket here in London.
270gsm (g/m2)
Also from an American brand: HEIDI SWAPP

Thank you, I will check our local art supply store for colored cardstock. Do you use any kind of protective film like transfer paper or does the paper cut without burn marks as is? Thanks again.

[cordioli]

No Masking tape! straight into the paper…

[margaretrgriffith]

how did you cut the paper without any burn marks? Did you use the cut setting?

[trually]

I’m new and paranoid to cut paper in the Glowforge! I use my Cricut for cutting paper so I haven’t tried it.

Maybe I’ll try it in the future when I am more experienced! And I have so many questions… like how do you keep the paper from moving? Do you use something to hold it down or is it just heavy enough that it didn’t move? Did you make the frame, too?

Have a look at the Tip & Trick I posted a while ago!

Cutting paper Nightmare is over! (Good tip used & approved)!

Hi there guys! After loosing few good paper cards cutting for cake toppers etc, I’ve decided to try a thing here! And I’m only sharing it because I’m happy with it and why not share it once it works! So, Basically, I’m using a “scrap piece of acrylic” that has written in it to use as a mat. So, the material I’ve specify is the thickness of the acrylic, in my case: 3mm. So, I’ve bought these Stick & Spray thing that I’ve once used to remake the Silhouette Studio mat to get sti…

That will help you to achieve the same results!

Send me message if you have any other question!

[cordioli]

I think that would help you too!

And, the glue I’m using now to make/remake the sticky part of the mat is this one!

REALLY good ! Used to use it with the Silhouette mat!
