Papercutting Papers

Papercutting Papers — Curated by the UK’s Leading Papercutting Experts

Papercutting is the art of transforming paper with scissors or a blade into intricate, beautiful works. At PaperStory, we’ve worked closely with professional papercutting artists to source and test the very best papers for the craft — from delicate single-layer cuts to complex layered compositions.

Our range includes papers you won’t easily find elsewhere, with finishes and weights chosen specifically for clean cutting, minimal tearing, and beautiful results:

Matte papers — smooth, consistent, and ideal for fine detailed cutting
Hammered papers — a subtle texture that adds depth and interest to finished pieces
Pearlescent papers — a lustrous sheen that catches the light beautifully in layered work
Cotton papers — premium quality with exceptional strength and a luxurious feel
Layered packs — curated colour combinations ready for multi-layer papercutting projects
Shiro & specialist papers — unique alternatives to everyday papers, loved by professional artists

Whether you’re a seasoned papercutting artist or just starting out, we’re here to help you find the perfect paper for your project. Get in touch if you need advice.
