Collage of our wedding invitations from different angles
All four hand-cut pieces laid out
130 cut paper bow ties made of blue gingham plaid paper and orange card stock
My favorite of our wedding photos (and still my phone's lock screen image almost 12 years later)
The one that started it all... Our wedding invitations are the reason I got the job at ROAR Groupe to work on @arbys social. I hand-cut, folded, and assembled more than 130 of them from March to May 2014, making 3 or 4 every night (and went through a LOT of X-Acto blades).

This is one of my favorite 3D mandalas I’ve made so far. There’s a lot of texture and detail and I love the color combination. These are fun to make but they take a lot of time!
A complex star design made of metallic gold, deep red, and white cut paper mounted on a cream colored card. The custom design was created in Adobe Illustrator then each layer is cut using a Cameo cutting machine. Each layer is carefully positioned and glued into place. If I had to cut these by hand, it would never get done because my fingers would be bleeding by the tenth card! Art by T Jacobs.
This year’s handmade holiday card is a star consisting of four layers of cut, stacked paper. I make about 50 cards each year for friends, family, and clients.

Woman blowing stars into the deep blue night sky bordered by vibrant orange and flowers. This piece has been damaged in transport over the years and desperately needs repair, thus the bottom portion being cut off in the image. I still love it, though. The cut paper stars are mounted on torn textured paper painted deep blue. The flowers and woman are also cut paper that have been painted with acrylics. Art by T Jacobs.
