Candy Bowties

Candy Filled Bow Ties for ...

My dad is a hard man to give gifts to. He really doesn't have any hobbies besides reading and attending all of his grand kids sporting events. Nothing themed ever fits the bill for his gifts. He doesn't hunt, fish, golf or do any of the other manly things fathers do. As a result he usually gets a new book or two and a treat for every major holiday. I've learned you really can't go wrong with candy. And although my dad doesn't wear bow ties either, this year he's getting his candy with a bit of style. There are two versions of today's project. The first is a simple tag to attach to a bag of candy. I've included tags sized for both the larger bags of candy and the individual sized bags.

Sun And Cloud Gift Box

It’s Sunshine Week at Pazzles! All this week we are sharing sunshine inspired projects to warm your hearts and inspire some bright, cheerful crafting! Goodbye winter! Hello Sunshine! I am a sunshine kinda girl and I am glad winter is behind us in the US. I decided to celebrate the warmer weather with a sunny project. I made this sunshine box using the Sunshine Title, the Scallop Sunshine file, and the St. Patrick’s Day Pot of Gold Treat Box. I used vinyl for the lettering because I love the fact that you transfer all the letters at once and they are already lined up. No glue, no fuss. I followed the directions that are provided with the St. Patrick’s Day Pot of Gold Treat Box to assemble the box, but I moved the cloud to the left side and instead of using the pot of gold, I substituted the Scallop Sunshine file.

Upcycled Truffle Gift Box

More recently, I have found that I am looking at packaging and thinking how I can use it for my projects. At Christmas we received a lovely box of truffles and I immediately thought how I could decorate it, when all the chocolates had been eaten. I measured the dimensions of the box and laid my patterned paper onto my cutting mat. I cut the pieces for the wrap around the box, the inside and top of the lid. It was so easy using the Transformation Menu in my Pazzles software to create the exact measurements for my paper piecing. The video tutorial in the Pazzles Craft Room called How to Resize Images helps you understand the capabilities of the Transformation Menu.

Hot Tamale Treat Topper

I was so inspired by Amanda’s So Lucky To Have You Treat Topper that I turned it into a treat for my hubby. With just a few changes and his favorite candy it came out so cute. First, I changed the Lucky wording to Hot Tamale and then changed the Pen Tool writing to read "You are one". I added a couple of hearts and hot tamale candies, then some stickles to fancy it up a bit. He’s going to love it!

Easter Egg Carton Carrier

March Challenge Reminder

Have you been inspired by our March Challenge yet? As a reminder the challenge this month is to take some form of inspiration from this home décor picture and make a project. We want you to find something within the picture that inspires you and make a project. You might love the colors, or the pattern on the rug, or you might make a card with a chair or couch on it. There is no right or wrong answer on this. Just have fun! Details on the challenge can be found here. Are you ready to see what a few of the Design Team Members came up with? Joanna Wright

DIY Dimensional Flowers

I love springtime, as there are such pretty flowers to admire bursting into bloom. Also, there are some beautiful cutting files in the Craft Room Library that can be teamed up with pretty floral papers to create a lovely 3D project. Today I have used the Banner Box cutting file in the Pazzles Library for my gift box. I have cut this out using pretty floral paper. Remember you can resize the box smaller or larger using your Pazzles software. I also resized the banner overlay to make a smaller banner in coordinating paper as a background for my flower. I was browsing through the Tips and Tricks section in the Craft Room and came across a blog post, Dimensional Flowers. I watched the accompanying video tutorial on how to create 3D Flowers which includes several cutting files for you to use.

Pocket Card Gift Box

I was excited to see the new addition of the Pocket Box Card to the Craft Room Library.  The little box is just the right size for fun gifts.  This project was enlarged to 11 1/2" width. After covering the box card in pink papers, I added some of the Handful of Hearts file sized at 4 3/4”.  I love to add sewing to projects and so my absolute favorite tool is the Piercing Tool as it makes pierced holes that are separated by whatever spacing you want.  Hand stitching has never been so accurate and easy!

Barrel Of Monkeys Birthday Banner

The best projects in my opinion are the ones that have the biggest impact, but don’t take a lot of time to create. That’s just the kind of project this is. These cute monkeys make a great card or party banner for any event. I’m sure you have a favorite monkey in mind who would go bananas to receive it, so get to it!

Customized Patterned Paper Valentines

One of my favorite things to do with my Inspiration Studio software is make my own custom patterned paper. I first change my mat size to 8.5 x 11 because that’s the size of my printer. I then import files I'd like to use. The one I used here is Heart and Bow from the Craft Room Library. I removed the bow, leaving just the heart. I thickened my lines, duplicated it several times in different line colors and stacked them slightly askew. Then I grouped and duplicated them, made some bigger, and some smaller placing them all over the page and rotating a few in different directions. I then resized some hearts very small, multiplied them, filled them in the different colors, and added them to the spaces as filler. When my design was complete I just printed it out on white cardstock using the borderless option on my printer. I really enjoy being able to make my own custom paper designs.

Heart Shaped Box

We introduced our team up with Spellbinders at CHA Winter this past January and the response has been fantastic. We are thrilled that you are finding inspiring ways to use the Spellbinders Digital Dies. Design Team member Tara Brown created several samples for the Spellbinders booth and her work drew a crowd. Her creations are amazing and I wanted to share one of her projects with you that is perfectly suited for Valentine's Day week.

Glamour Girl Collection: WPC, AI ...

As a young girl I used to love to sneak into my grandma's bathroom and look at all of her old fashioned Avon perfume bottles. She had so many of them with just a drop or two of perfume left in them. I didn't dare pick them up, but I would run my fingers over the edges to try and pick up some of the scent. Her old fashioned vanity set seemed so glamorous to me. We've named this pretty paper vanity set Glamour Girl and hope it will inspire you to create for the glamour girls in your own life!

Treat Cups

Heart Treat Cup

This fun little cup is very quick and easy to make. You just need to fold and glue, then add a special treat. I chose to use just a solid card stock and then use twine to put the tag on.

Love Notes Mailbox

Here is a mailbox, just in time for Valentine's Day or as a special box to pass "Love Notes" back and forth between family members year round. It would also be great to add to a wedding table for envelopes.

Be Mine Valentine Collection

Tatum the party queen has struck again! She's created the cutest Valentine's Day decorations and little tokens of love to help you celebrate with your special someone. The Be Mine Valentine Collection features eight different projects that are easy to assemble and ready for your personal touch. My favorite from this collection is the wings. Tatum used a gold pen and the Pazzles Pen Tool to draw the feathers and then cut them out. The cutting file includes an additional cutting line so you can back them with chipboard for sturdiness, or add a vellum layer for softness. I'm already planning the projects I'll make with them.

Valentine Gift Set

I keep hand sanitizer in just about every room of my house. I think the bottles are boring and stick out like a sore thumb so I decorated them for Christmas and that got me to thinking…why not do it for every holiday or season? I used the subtract weld technique to create these fun Valentine’s Day covers. I used vinyl so splatters would not ruin the design. Now the bottles are a part of the holiday decor instead of an eyesore.

It may seem like a simple gift, but when packaged perfectly, it becomes a thoughtful way to remind someone of a treasured memory they've forgotten about themselves or someone they love.

Ice Skate Box

Ice Skate Gift Box

This ice skate box makes a great gift box or party centerpiece. Cut two Ice Skate and one Cereal Box from the Craft Room Library. No need to change the sizes of these as they are perfect just as they are. Assemble the cereal box. Apply decorative paper to the ice skates and cereal box. Cut two 3" x 6" pieces of white corrugated card stock. Align and glue the bottom edge of each corrugated piece to the bottom edges of the longer sides of the cereal box. The corrugated cardstock not only provides extra support for the project, but looks like leggings.
