A warm welcome back to Laura Shirley, whose first guest post and papercraft project here on the All Things Paper blog was the beautiful Moroccan Lantern. In her latest tutorial, Laura shares her "Simulated Embossing" technique—a way to achieve that luxury, old-world tactile feel using your modern electronic cutting machine. With precision-cut layers, you create deep shadows and a substantial boutique feel.
Hello! It is such a joy to be back with the All Things Paper community.
I’ve often felt I was born a hundred years late, and perhaps you can relate. For years, I have been captivated by the elegance of antique craft styles and design. I’m Laura, the founder of Bella Carta Design, and my journey began with a simple, lifelong love affair with paper.
Drawing from my professional background in art and publishing, I’ve spent years translating a timeless, nostalgic aesthetic into modern cut and engineered paper designs. And I’m so excited to see an old-world aesthetic, like embossed paper, coming back!
