Parchment craft dates back to the 14th century. The craft began with communion cards and devotional pictures in Europe and the Netherlands.
19th century Paris saw a change in the parchment cards. The themes became more romantic and personal, introducing floral themes, cherubs, and portraits, and introduced embossing to the art creating the raised effect. Most of the borders, perforations, and cuts were done by machine at this time.
The art of Parchment Craft is enjoying a revival today, with the cards being hand drawn, painted, perforated and embossed, all done by hand, with the most common tools being a single needle to perforate the holes, and very small scissors to cut out the various designs. The items crafted in this manner require a great deal of patience, time, and ability. If you
are lucky enough to have a handmade Parchment card, bookmark, or other item, cherish it, because it was made and given with a great deal of love.

The unit has a metal base which means you can use a magnet as a guide so you don't have to keep measuring the same distance when doing repetitive cuts or scores. Spare blades can be kept in storage compartment in base.
