Often when I am talking to people on our designer chat or through email they are wanting to make a shaped card but don’t know how. So I’ve had in mind for a while now to make a video on creating shaped cards. They are just so easy and so fun that I think even beginners will be able to master the few simple steps.

I love, love, love collecting fonts! In fact, I have so many fonts that I needed to take some of them off of my computer. Who wouldn’t love to have a collection of fonts to choose from? Especially since we can use any True Type Font with our Inspiration cutter. I imagine most of you wanted to make words and titles almost from the moment you took your machine out of the box.

I love ruffles and pleats. They can soften a project that is too stark and add class to something that is too simple. Usually, I use fabric ruffled ribbons to add to my projects. But pretty as the ruffled and pleated fabric trims are, they can be a costly addition to my design. Recently I decided to try my hand at making my own ruffled and pleated ribbon out of paper.

Are you like me? Do you hate to throw away even the smallest piece of paper? I just can’t bear to toss those nice strips of paper left over from projects. They are too small to cut anything out of but still…they might be useful! Of course, I can use them as borders and under edges of frames but I seem to manage to accumulate more than I can use. In today’s Tricky Tuesday I am going to show you how a quilt project inspired me to find a way to use those strips of paper.

I love making these sweet bon bon treats from cake. You may know them by another name: cake pops or cake truffles. They are absolutely divine tasting and can be made in so many different flavors. Use your Pazzles Pastry Tool to cut fun topper designs from fondant or sugar sheets. You can cut 2 or 3 dozen toppers at one time so you have spectacular results very quickly. I have made them so often that I have come up with a few tricks to make the job easier and faster.
