What an amazing book! Sarah King offers the reader everything that
they could possibly want to learn how to create epic landscapes in
paper that will be treasured for many years to come. Simple and
effective Sarah offers the amateur and the experience paper cutter
something new in this book on how to add colour and depth. If I
could give the book more than 5 stars I would.

Papercut Landscapes by Sarah King is a simply stunning,
well-structured and colourful book, with very clear step-by-step
instructions. It takes you through what materials you need,
papercutting techniques, bringing the cuts to life with colour
infills and how to display and frame the final product. There is an
inspiring section which gives tips on how to develop your own ideas
from photographs, so that you can achieve your own unique artwork.
There are also many of Sarah King's beautiful templates included,
to practise on. All in all I would recommend this book to any
papercutting enthusiast, in a heartbeat.

I absolute loved this book. It was perfect for both beginner and
experienced papercutters. It starts by explaining everything you
need to know about equipment and techniques. I love how this is a
hobby everyone can have a go at without spending a fortune on
materials. Everything is broken down into simple manageable steps.
I have papercut before but I am not great at curves and this book
has given me some pointers to try! Unlike a lot of similar books
this one teaches you how to add colour to your papercuts which is a
brilliant idea to match the pictures to your colour scheme in your
house or to personalise it even further. I was particularly
impressed with the final chapter about designing your own templates
to cut. It is something I have always imagined to be too difficult
in the past but I am certainly encouraged now to give it a go
myself. It would be the perfect way to immortalise an idyllic
summer holiday memory. But, even if you don't want to design your
own this book is perfect to trace the designs and get stuck in.
Overall a charming and well thought out book that I would warmly
recommend.

Beautiful book, filled with a comprehensive guide on how to achieve
a beautiful infilled papercut. A really delightful book for
browsing through and has projects that a novice through to a more
practised papercutter would find enjoyable.
*Customer review*
Paper is a big passion of mine and when I saw this book I knew I
just had to have a go. The designs are amazing...I adored the
balloon projects. Sarah King is a master papercrafter and she
shares her techniques, giving us a one-on-one tutorial in every
aspect of papercutting. This craft is explained in detail,
everything you need to know is all in this book, which includes a
guide of what you will need to get started. The 'templates' are
stunning, and simple. but the finished effect of each design is
absolutely brilliant. There is good advice on how to make your own
pictures from photographs or by free hand and what I especially
loved was that this is a craft that is affordable and doesn't use
vast amounts of 'stuff' to create something beautiful. This is not
a craft for children, due to the use of craft knives.. but there is
no reason why they cannot share the joy of paper piecing and
learning along with you.
