Custom First Anniversary Paper Gifts

Congratulations! Welcome to Papercuts By Joe's custom first anniversary paper art page.

Each of my pieces is cut by hand from a single sheet of black paper and ship ready-to-be-framed in about one week!

Traditionally, paper gifts are given for first anniversaries, however my papercuts make great gifts for any anniversary, holiday, or event! Many people show my silhouettes at their wedding reception, and they make great Valentine's Day gifts!

It's incredibly easy:

• You send your favorite photos to PapercutsByJoe@gmail.com (the bigger the photo, the better). Let me know if you want a silhouette or detailed cut (see below) and what size you would like.

• I send FREE design proofs within 48 hours

• I will only request payment when/if you approve the design proof(credit card over the phone or paypal). Once paid for I will start cutting your piece immediately.

The design proofs are completely free, and you are not obligated to purchase unless you want me to cut and ship the piece to you, so you may as well send some photos my way and see what I can do with them. You won't be disappointed, and if you don't want to purchase one, you don't have to!

Your finished papercut will be mailed to you no more than three (3)
business days of receipt of payment, so it typically takes about one
week from the time you first email me until you receive your finished
piece. (Need your papercut in a hurry? I can also provide Express
Mail shipping (additional shipping charge applies) to ensure that you receive your piece in time for your special occasion.)

More than 300 happy customers since 2008 and counting!
