Today's Template Tuesday is a simple one. It's of a girl and a little chick. I see that I've been labeling her as Girl and Bunny though and that must be because it's been a long day. If I keep up with the templates, expect to see some Easter, one or two St. Patrick and a few Mother's Day templates over the next little while.<br />

Here's what the template looks like. The trickiest part are the little legs of the chick. Keep your blades sharp and cut from the corner areas outward! That's all the advice I have to give.<br />

This is my last one featuring love since Valentine's day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
This is a cute little mirror image cut. Just fold it in half and cut it out! You could display it in an 8x10 frame or write a little love note on the card. Do what you want.<br />

Here's what the template looks like. It's pretty straight-forward. The only thing I would caution on is to be careful around the beak of the bird. Cut from the beak outward. If you cut towards the beak, you run the risk of slicing right through it. Trust me. <br />

I thought maybe I would try making some more templates again. I've forgotten how to do all the bells and whistles on this thing.<br />
<br />
Here's a little Love Mail for Valentine's day. The trickiest parts are the counters in the flowers and on the little letter. Just remember to cut left to right (or right to left if you're left-handed) and use a sharp blade! No dull blades here!<br />

I haven't done a free template in a long time, but I've been feeling my oats lately and thought I'd make one. Don't count on me to be consistent though! Anyway, today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. As a mom of two little girls, I grow more and more worried about the state of the world we live in. I created this template, it's kind of a heavy topic, but it's an important one to address. I usually don't give permission to resell any of these, BUT, if you would like to create these and resell them and donate the proceeds to an organization that fights human trafficking, please, be my guest.
I am selling the original on etsy and will donate the money to the organization <a href="http://www.318project.org/" target="_blank">31:8 Project</a> in the name of whoever has purchased it. Here is the link to download the template: <a href="http://www.bean-cutter.com/images/humantrafficking.pdf" target="_blank">Human Trafficking Awareness</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is what the template looks like.

Come Follow Me - Week 2 - Matthew 1 & Luke 1<br />
<br />
I have been obsessed with Felicitas Kuhn's art lately and thought I'd try my hand at illustrating something like her. If you want to cut these out and narrate the story to your children of Mary, Joseph, Elisabeth, Zacharias and the visiting angel Gabriel, be my guest!

Sand People EmbroideryI haven't posted on here in a while and this isn't a papercutting post, but I wanted to say Merry Christmas and give you a little something special. If you like to embroider, here's a pattern you can use to embroider something special. Like always, please don't use this to sell for your own. A few weeks ago, I had a booth at a Christmas market. Looking at all the other vendors, I saw someone selling some work and right smack dab in the middle of it was my very own stuff! I thought, "well, that's some nice work." Mostly I just felt bad for them that they were trying to sell stuff at a craft fair that wasn't their own. Anyway, Merry Christmas! That being said, I don't know who made up this quote, but it's awesome. And if they ever stumble upon this page and think, "Hey! That's my quote!", just know that I'm not selling this!<br />
<br />
Also, I don't know how to make an embroidery pattern, this is my best guess at it. <br />

I entered a couple of pieces into the jurying process for the <a href="http://www.smofa.org/" target="_blank">Springville Museum of Art</a> <a href="http://www.smofa.org/exhibitions/exhibition_details.html?exhibition_id=165&name=92nd_Annual_Spring_Salon" target="_blank">92nd Annual Spring Salon</a>. Since I was a young, fabulous BYU Coed, I've had friends who have entered art into the show. Most of my artwork up until a few years ago has mostly been on the graphic design side of things, not really Spring Salon material, so I've never tried to enter anything. Lately though, I've been trying to stretch myself a little bit, to develop a style and to put a little more care into the pieces I cut. Yesterday they announced the <a href="http://smofa.org/files/exhibitions/83nmolit.pdf" target="_blank">accepted entries</a> and I got in! I feel pretty honored. I submitted two pieces and got one in. I'm going to share the one that didn't get in now and the one that did get in after the opening night.<br />
<br />
This is the piece that didn't get in. I called it "Gestohlen." I flip-flopped between a few different titles. I love the squirrel getting into the nest, he's my favorite. Of the two pieces, I love the flowers the best on this one, but the energy on the one that was accepted was far greater. The other piece was my favorite and I'm glad they chose it. <br />

If you feel like swinging by, the opening reception is on Wednesday April 20, 2016 from 7:00-8:30 pm. I'll be there with my squad. They have asked that the artists be there to talk about their work, so if you're interested in seeing a variety of talent from the Utah area, head on down to Springville.

In an attempt to get more attention, I shamelessly asked for a birthday gift of 1000 followers on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beancutter/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.You guys delivered! Thank you so much! As of right now I'm up to 1044 followers. That's small potatoes to a few of you, but to me it's nice and cozy. I'm also so excited for all the new followers I've received from the <a href="http://saltandhoneymarket.com/" target="_blank">Salt and Honey Market</a> publicity for their upcoming Spring Market that I'll be participating in.<br />
<br />
In response to your kindness, I made a little Thank You papercut. The size it currently sits at fits nicely on an A7 card (5" x 7"). I cut it out last night. It took about 3.5 episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" to cut out, so I guess if you do cut this one out, you'd probably better be really thankful!<br />

So I did one!<br />

<br />
This is definitely a more difficult piece if you're not comfortable with cutting thin lines. Just look at the whole thing as a bunch of lines. Try not to go over the borders. These are forgiving lines though, if you accidentally cut through one, the rest will still support it.<br />

Here are two ladies that look like they might have had a few stones in their lifetime, too. I like to call the one on the left, Ratty, and the one on the right, Batty. Two sisters who are oh so different in all the same ways. Does that make sense? It sounds cool.<br />

It looks like the site is still active, I don't know if he's in charge of it or not. I'll find out. You're on the edge of your seat, I know. Anyway, I made him a zombie template to have fun with. He particularly liked the grandma zombie, if I remember correctly. Here are all five of them. <br />

But this time around I have a little tutorial on what you can do with these templates. You can put them up in your window! Crazy zombies! The grandma one would look awesome on a sliding glass door.<br />
<br />
First thing you do is print one of them out. I sized it to the size I wanted it and then when it came time to print, I clicked the "tile" button and it automatically printed everything out on different sheets. All I had to do was tape them together. I printed mine on 11x17 size paper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqWuuJ_yimJIJc0V5cNrA-nZ9OfrW-4ehzVst_MbIf3R84OAyPremrqY7DxcR-eg1JnSjGJ5uDEbFkcStxZBCE2kkaXePk9LzpPVt9tYb_Qg1AfQ3wOWreySq_VGU-juG6A_a1Q/s1600/IMG_2538.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqWuuJ_yimJIJc0V5cNrA-nZ9OfrW-4ehzVst_MbIf3R84OAyPremrqY7DxcR-eg1JnSjGJ5uDEbFkcStxZBCE2kkaXePk9LzpPVt9tYb_Qg1AfQ3wOWreySq_VGU-juG6A_a1Q/s320/IMG_2538.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, you tape that tiled zombie to your paper. I had a giant roll of black paper somewhere in my basement that I used. Marie Kondo would have thrown that away a long time ago. Not me! Anyway, you could use butcher paper. I think they still sell that somewhere, right? It's at all schools. Just go to a school and use theirs. I'm sure everyone would be fine with that.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then you cut them out and tape them to your window.<br />

From now on, the free templates provided will happen on Friday. I will still make templates on Tuesday, but they will be a little more ornate and available for purchase on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/cindymindypindy" target="_blank">Etsy</a> site.<br />
<br />
That said, here's a free template! It's October already, guys. Can you believe it? Halloween will be upon us soon. Here's my first template this month, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death's-head_Hawkmoth" target="_blank">Death's-Head Hawkmoth</a>. Can you believe these suckers really exist? The first time I had ever heard of or seen one was when I was a teenager watching the movie Silence of the Lambs. That movie freaked my noodle right out. Anyways, these moths are just fascinating.<br />

Here's what the template looks like. There are two difficult things about this cut. One, the skull in the center. I'd start with that first in case you mess up so you can just start over. I think if you mess up on the wings you can glue them but those eyeball and nose holes are tricky at the attachment points. The other part that is tricky is the wing lines. Be sure to cut from left to right (or right to left if you're left-handed) so that you can see how thick you are cutting. If you cut the opposite direction, your hand gets in the way.</div>

If you happen to be lucky enough to work at a company that gives you this day off, it's the best thing in the world. If you work for a stingy company in Utah that doesn't give you Pioneer Day off, you might want to think about changing jobs because you're going to feel nothing but resentment towards all the floats and historic outfits passing by your window.<br>
<br>
In coordination with this week's Pioneer Day celebration, I thought I'd make a little papercut that anyone can enjoy. I was going to do a "West is Best" cut, but felt like that might ostracize some of you. This one probably ostracizes a lot of you, but oh well, you can't win them all!<br>
<br>
To those who came before us, and to those with a pioneering spirit, here is this week's Template Tuesday: <br>

This is a pretty simple one to cut out. I cut mine out of vinyl. I might put it on my car. Maybe. I don't have any bumper stickers on my car but this might make me bumper stick.<br>

I just had a baby! I figured I should get one more thing posted on here before the end of the year. We sang the song that this papercut is inspired by in church on Sunday and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It doesn't help that I've been drawing part of a verse of it since then either. Pretty soon I'll have a different earworm, but for now I'll just keep on humming Longfellow's poem. It's a pretty song and it could be worse! I hope, wherever you are, that you are comfortable, warm and content. Happy New Year!<br />

Here's what the template will look like. The tricky part about this is to not get cocky about the thin lines. When you get cocky, then you slice through one. I know this from experience. The other tricky part is to not look at it and think it'll be easy because there aren't very many letters. Letters take forever for some reason!<br />

A friend of mine works up in Portland for <a href="http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/" target="_blank">OHSU</a> and recently asked me to design the t-shirt logo for the race they were going to be participating in (<a href="http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/health/services/cancer/how-you-can-help/ohsu-race-for-the-cure.cfm" target="_blank">Race for the Cure</a>). The design originally had the name of the race but they liked it enough to want to use it for other races they might be involved in, so they scrubbed that part. It was fun to work on and research. All those little running people to cut out really maxed out my skills.

The only prompt she gave me was bubbles, I can't remember why. I decided to do a little fish papercut for her with bubbles. The fish represent the family, two parents and four kids. Now all I have to do is mount it and mail it!<br />

If you are at a loss for a gift to give that special Dad in your life, I can't help you. But if you need a helpful suggestion for a fun card to make, well today is your lucky day! Here's a simple little papercut card to give to the father figure you adore.<br />
<br />

This is what the card looks in it's flat form. <br />

<br />
Here's what the template looks like. The images are kind of small, you can change the size if you know how to do that sort of thing. I made them so you could cut them out and fit them on a 5.25" x 5.25" card (easily made with an 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock). I also made a girl version for those who might want the card to be a bit more gender accurate.<br />
