A ginkgo leaf is the most elegant single shape in the collection – a fan that no other tree produces. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.

What’s Inside
- Ginkgo Leaf · Ornate — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Ginkgo Leaf · Ornate. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A narrow stem opens into a fan-shaped blade with a shallow notch at the top edge. The radiating veins are suggested by thin negative lines; cut them last, working from the outer edge inward so the blade stays supported. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Autumn windows, minimal interiors, book corners and gift cards.
FAQ
Are the veins fragile? They are thin – use 140 gsm and cut them last. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
Why a notch at the top? That split is what makes a ginkgo a ginkgo.
What colour? Golden yellow paper is the classic choice.
