A new book, Simply Paper Cutting (Design Originals, October 1, 2012), shows readers how to decorate homes, holiday tables and children's rooms with bold, graphic art made from colored paper. Paper crafting artist Anna Bondoc reveals her deceptively simple techniques for using an X-ACTO knife like a drawing instrument to create everything from stationery to gift tags.

Anna Bondoc's artwork has simple yet bold graphic motifs, eye-catching colorways, and a richly textured quality that begs to be touched. Now crafters of all skill levels can learn to make and design layered art and dècor with her new book. In Simply Paper Cutting, Anna Bondoc reveals her inspired techniques for cutting paper. Using only cardstock, a knife, glue, and a cutting mat, she shows readers how to put a fresh spin on traditional shapes and colors as they create beautiful patterns.

The former teacher shows how to create table cards, wine tags, wall art, picture frames and more in an approachable, encouraging style. The book provides 15 unique projects, accompanied by hundreds of colorful step-by-step photos and Bondoc's signature patterns. The author provides a complete tutorial on basic cutting techniques, with practice exercises to get started. Anna also explains her "recycling by design" technique, in which cutout pieces left behind can be reused to enhance gorgeous gifts.
