Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cut outs onto it in combination with varnish or lacquering. Traditionally used to decorate furniture and household items it has become a modern papercraft used for making high quality greetings cards and for decorating scrapbooks, or scrapbooking.
Die cut decoupage is the practise of pre cutting the decoupage designs to allow them to pop out of a backing sheet with light finger pressure. This pre empts the need for cutting out and dramatically improves productivity for the serious or lazy crafter.
