Cut And Paste Sketches: Just ...

I like to have a few all purpose cards on hand for the times when I need a card quick. Today's Cut And Paste Sketch can fill in for a birthday, a get well card, or anything else you might need last minute. The Just For You sentiment applies to any occasion. The sentiment is cut from the top layer so whatever paper you have placed underneath shows through. Try a brightly colored patterned paper for a fun look. Add a character or a floral design on the circle piece, or add a die cut shape in place of the circle.

New Year's Midnight Countdown Bags

New Years Party Collection

Tatum has designed yet another adorable collection and as soon as I saw it I knew just what I would make with it. The New Years Party Collection has everything you need to ring in the New Year and then record the memories. I have small children and this year my niece will be joining us for the night. I've created party bags for every hour, that the kids can open and then complete the activity. I used the images from the New Years Party Collection to decorate my bags and then added numbers to represent the time the bag should be opened. I think my kids will love this and as an added bonus, maybe the "How much longer?" questions will be fewer. You can fill your bags with whatever activities you'd like to suit the ages of children (or adults) you are entertaining.

Layered Prize Ribbons Using The ...

Isn’t it fun when you get an award? Your heart starts racing, you have an uncontrollable smile on your face and maybe a little more color in your cheeks than normal. I think it’s almost as much fun to give the award as to receive it! Can you think of someone in your life that has reached a milestone or is just a great person? There are lots of reasons to celebrate a person or an event. How about putting one in your child’s lunch box just for being “The Best Kid Ever”? Or do what I did, and use it on a layout. I always use my Pazzles Inspiration Studio software to design my layouts. I love that I can easily move the elements of my page around, change my mind and move them again...lol. It is also fabulous that I can pull files right from the Craft Room Library, size them to fit, and use them on my layout. It sure makes the design part of my layouts go smoother and I know everything will be the exact size I need when I cut it out.

Merry Christmas From Pazzles

Thank you all so much for another wonderful year. We so appreciate your support of Pazzles and we can't wait to share with you the great things that are coming in 2014! Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season! ~The Pazzles Crew

Snowflake Embossed Cards And A ...

If the weather outside is frightful, stay inside, and make some winter paper projects. Armed with a few pads of Core'dinations cardstock and the Pazzles Embossing Tool, I made a trio of cards to celebrate the wintry weather. We've long been a fan of Core'dinations here at Pazzles. Distressing the cardstock adds a special element to a project. Using the embossing tool and then distressing it, takes it to a new level. When you use the embossing tool you have two unique looks depending on the side of the paper you choose to use. The embossing tool actually debosses the front of the paper leaving an indention as it moves through the design. Once your embossing is complete and you pull the paper off of the embossing mat, the backside of the paper is embossed and the image is raised. By sanding either of these sides you get a different look.

Christmas Tree Mini Albums

When I started this project, I had planned on just one mini tree album. As I went a long, I ended up with two completely different ideas and decided to do them both for you. They can be used as a last minute gift or add your own photos and enjoy them throughout the holiday season. Both albums are fairly quick and easy. You can add as much or as little embellishment as you want.

Ornament Shaped Card

I recently added the NEW pen tool to my collection of Pazzles tools. I have got to say that I love the flexibility of using lots of different sized pens of all shapes and sizes. So, I thought I would have a try at creating my own word circle sentiment. I used a simple Christmas Ornament file to create the base of my shaped card which I cut out of red cardstock and layered with patterned paper. (See Making Shaped Cards video tutorial).

Christmas Votive Candle Holders

Candles are one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I love the smells, the glow, and the warmth they add to a room. Sometimes though, the plain glass containers can be, well, a little boring. And really, who wants to look at the label or the other side with the warnings? I know I don’t. In about 15 minutes you can decorate them. All I did was gather a few files from the Craft Room Library and size them to fit my candles. The candles I had were small candles about 2.5". Gather some vellum, a couple buttons, some pearls, and some adhesive, and you are ready to go.
