Susan,

The folksy craft of paper cutting is known, and practiced, in many countries under different names. “Scherenschnitte” is the German form. It is also quite popular in the Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsch) area. They can be quite simple or elaborate. Left the color of paper or embellished.

This website offers some great ideas of varieties that are available – even today: http://www.papercuttingsbyalison.com/

Hope this helps.
