Artist Makes Paper Cutouts Stars of Her Travel Photos

During one road trip, artist Ana Stretcu started thinking about ways to make her travel photos more unique and memorable. She settled on creating paper cutouts of her and her boyfriend to be the stars of the photos. And the results were much more impressive than she expected. 

Having paper cutouts as stars of the photos made her road trip unforgettable, so Stretcu decided to turn this awesome idea into a series titled “I was cutout for this.”

“I thought this project would come to a natural end when our trip ended, but the paper dolls were bitten by the travel bug so I decided to keep going,” she explained in a recent blog post on Bored Panda. “And now they’re still going on little adventures, but usually closer to home.”

Besides traveling, Stretcu’s cute paper cutouts found themselves in all sorts of others situations. This included spending time in the kitchen cooking or enjoying a relaxing bath.

The paper cutouts series is a passion project for Stretcu. Her main focus is illustrating children’s books. According to her website, she specializes in “illustrations with a strong aww-factor.”
