How to Use the Scene Editor

Welcome to Papercut Cards!

This is a customizable 12-layer paper-cut scene editor. You can create, save, and share your unique designs. Check out the Public Scene Gallery to view and modify designs that others have shared.

Editing Text

Simply double-click the main title or the subtitle on the scene to edit the text directly.

Scene Options

Click the icon on the left to use the "Scene Options" panel to change the overall look and feel.

  • Theme: Instantly change the entire color palette of the scene from day to night, sunset, and more.
  • Text Styling: Adjust the font, size, letter spacing, and vertical position of the title and subtitle.
  • Customize & Position Layers: For each of the 12 layers, you can upload your own SVG file, rename the layer, and re-order them using the up/down arrows or by dragging. Once you upload an SVG, you can fine-tune its position (X and Y) and scale using the sliders that appear.
  • Layer Animations: Add subtle "Float" or "Pulse" animations to any layer and control the animation speed.

Saving and Loading

If you are logged in, you can save your creations. Give your scene a name and click "Save Scene." You can then load it again from the "Load Scene" dropdown, share a unique link with others, or delete it.

Exporting

You can export your final creation as a high-quality PDF for printing or as a clean SVG file, which is perfect for use with cutting machines like a Cricut or for further editing in vector software.
