Thank you

for your support, kind words, positive feedbacks and for your custom. I am so touched and it makes me so happy to know that the Paris, London and NYC maps are proudly hanging somewhere on a wall of a cosy home near us and on the other side of the planet!

New-York City maps available now!

Et voila! Our latest New-York City prints are available from Famille Summerbelle's website. I designed it the same way as I did the Paris and London maps. The prints are based on an original paper cut design that I did over the Summer. The prints come in two colours: Night blue and Plum and the size is the same as the previous City prints: 42x60cm. (the prints are sold unframed)

New York City paper cut map

This is my latest paper cut map, designed and cut over the Summer. New York City has to be one of my favorite cities (obviously after Paris and London!). I went there for the first time with my best friend more than 10 years ago, Simon did the New York marathon which was an incredible experience and then we came back for our honeymoon while Ophelia was a very tiny bump in my belly. I did a lot of research on the place before starting to draw the different areas. I preferred to focus on the lower part of Manhattan where you find most of the tourist attractions and the Brooklyn border. I have such nice memories of Brooklyn that I really wanted to incorporate it in the design. Here are some images of the original piece. The prints will be in 2 alternative colours (night blue and plum) and are being printed as we speak. They will be available really soon over on our site. Let me know what you think!?

The new colours are here!

It's been a long wait over the Summer, but it was worth the wait! We are very pleased with the results so a huge thank you to you all for helping us make the right choice of colour for the new London map in Red and Paris map in Sage Green.
They are now available on our website. Paris in pink and London in turquoise are also still available.

Choosing the winner was the hard bit. Ophelia helped me and pulled names out of her hat. Kerry and Deb you will receive a print each in your letter box very soon! A very big thank you for you all who left us some lovely and inspiring messages.

Just to let you know, i've been designing and paper cutting the map of New York City over the Summer. I'll post some images soon as the prints will be ready in the next week or so...

Paper cut prints now on sale!

The 2 cities closest to my heart are now available as prints based on an original Famille Summerbelle paper cut design (see work in progress of Paris map & London map). As per yesterday they are on sale on our website.
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments while I was still designing and cutting the maps. It has been quite a long process but still very enjoyable especially when I got such a nice support!


Paris comes in bright pink and the London map in bright turquoise. Both maps are A2 format (42x59.4cm) and are printed on high quality 270gsm embossed paper. (Delivered unframed).

Paper cut London map

Thank you all so much for your overwhelming comments on the Paris map. It really motivated me to finish this one quickly. London map is much more detailed. Well, London is so much bigger, there was a lot to draw...and cut. Promise, these paper cut maps will be made into posters just before the Summer!

It's even better with the shadows...
