As a company, we at Pazzles have always felt it important to support our customers in any way possible. You are always foremost in our minds. When we first developed the Craft Room, a lot of love and effort went into it. Each feature was discussed and debated over and over. I am sure that we drove the tech guys crazy with all of our dreams for an environment that met your every need and then some!!
In many ways, the Pazzles Craft Room is similar to your own craft area. It is an ever-changing space that occasionally needs remodeling. As you acquire more supplies, you need to shift things around to accommodate them. You also may need to add a new cabinet, or something to make the place more functional. In the Craft Room we do the same thing. Occasionally we need to step back and ask ourselves if there isn’t a better way to store or organize what we already have.
We still have many, many ideas on our wish list for the Craft Room. Soon it will be time to make some changes. We know what we think would make a fun spot here, or needs cleaning up there, but we want to hear from you as well! After all, this is your space too.
Let us know what you love about the Craft Room so that we know we are on the right track. Maybe we don’t appreciate the value of an area as much as we should. Just like you would miss that useful organizer for embroidery thread even though you don’t use it that often.
Let us know what you would like to see different in the Craft Room. Maybe we are needing to move something around to make it easier to use. Just like you might need to rearrange the furniture to make the room more functional.
Let us know if you have any great ideas for additions to the Craft Room. We may have thought of it already but it will encourage us to move forward. Maybe your idea has not even occurred to us yet.
Remember that the Craft Room is for you. That is what we care about. That is what we come to work for every single day. Here’s to another great brainstorming session and tech guys, get ready cuz here we come!!

I love the files in the library.
How about a place where members can upload their files so others can use them
I love the videos and the projects introducing me to new ways on how to use my Pazzles, I could not be without them. The videos are so clear and easy to understand. I like to see the inspirational projects from everyone on a regular basis. However, I would love to see lots more 3D projects in the Library.
I’m still relatively new to Pazzles, so I’m loving the videos and tutorials.
I’ve been so lucky to find about every image I’ve wanted already in the library, but I’d love to see more “flip” card templates.
I agree with Robin! A place where members can upload their files would be wonderful.
I really like the projects and ideas, but would like to see more card ideas.
The Library is great! I try to organize the files I download to my computer in the same way they are in the craft room. As I download the files,I would like to know the category each new file will in when it is moved to its assigned album.
Thanks, for all you do!
Robyn, Did you know that members are sharing their files in the Album section of the Craft Room? There is a section called Cutting Files.
Phyllis, we are so glad that you are taking advantage of the Craft Room library and how smart that you organize your own the same way!!
Every week we let you know where the New files from the previous week were moved. Look in the Forum for Where the New Images are Moved.
I too love the Library. However, I am usually searching for an image from a search word. Then I have to open the image fully to download it. When I want to look for another image of the same type, I have to search again because the back button says Page has Expired. Can we get the function of downloading from the thumbnail, just like the category images? Thanks!
Building on Beverly’s search comments. When you search and it brings up the files, it gives you all the search word tags…..but it doesn’t give you the folder name that the cut file was filed in. Please add this.
Also, I wish there was a way to search for cut files I haven’t YET downloaded.
Thanks
I enjoy the video tutorials. I would love to see more cards and also download an entire cutting file collection. I do not like to have to download each file, it decrease the number of files I have to download. May be it could be nice to have the option to download the entire collection or per file as required. Love the craft room and the work everyone do to keep it working. Thanks a lot
Regards
Adriana
I love the files, both in the library and members sharing.
I love the videos, they are very helpful for all skill levels. I have watched them all several times. I would like to see on the left navigation bar, perhaps a drop down box when you hover over the category, the various videos in each section. I cant remember which page the video I want to watch a part of is on. I think seeing the title of the videos on the left will stop me from scrolling down each page to see if the video I want is on that page.
I LOVE my pazzles and every crafter I know, knows it!
I agree with Joanne, including more 3D files. A couple of other things that I have often thought would be good would be a PDF catalog of the library, so we could download and then easily flip through it for inspiration or to more easily find a specific graphic.Perhaps it could be updated monthly or so, if weekly would be too difificult. Additionally, I’d like to see an index for all of the articles posted so we can easily find past articles. The index would then link to either an article or theme of articles. I love Klo’s classes, too. I appreciate all you do to help all of us learn our machines. The 24/7 access is great, so as to allow everyone the ability to watch and learn when they can. It is a great, informative and informational site. Keep up the great work, and thank you for wanting to consistently make it even better!
I can’t say enough good things about the Craftroom!!! The library – amazing. The album area for members to share their work and files – fantastic. The tips, trick, techniques I have learned here – I couldn’t begin to put a price on that . . . Klo’s classes – they speak for themself. Oh and don’t forget the area for expert advice and help with your projects. Way more information than I believe any other site . . . Not to mention you have such a great product. I definately made the right decision all those years ago purchasing my Inspiration – (named it right too!)
I love the Craft Room I am new to Pazzles so it has helped a lot.. I would love to be have to Favorite or “like” cutting files and projects so that I can come back later to. I find sometimes looking for one thing I see others that I like and might use later. But don’t really want to download that file at that time.
I love everything about my Inspiration and I think the Craft Room is awesome. I’m in awe of the of the design teams creativity with the wonderful library files. The only thing I struggle with is leaning all the great things the software has to offer. The tutorials are the best, I just have a hard time finding the one I need. The best thing about any great User Manual is a great index. I know it would probably be very labor intensive but it would be awesome to have an index on the site with a link to the tutorial of the item you are trying to learn. ie: If you’re looking to learn all about “outlines”. You find Outlines in the index and have all the links including project videos that have anything to do with outlines listed. Whatever the Pazzles team comes up with, I’m sure it will be great. Thanks for being the great team that you are.
I think the Pazzles Craftroom is a great place to go for inspiration. I love the projects, especially the 3D projects. The instructions for assembly are very helpful, and the inspirational demo photos posted are great. The related video tutorials are also helpful for me.
I would like to see some slice form design files. I love these for special gift projects.
I also like how in the library, files that I have already download are marked. I would like the same feature for the files uploaded by members. I never can remember which ones I have downloaded before.
Overall I think the Craftroom is great! I like the variety of projects so that each type gets a nod (3D, cards, scrapbooking). Klo’s classes and all she does is beyond belief. What would be on my wish list for the Craftroom?
1. Indexes (I think this has been mentioned a couple of times). For the videos/tutorials and also for the library and member files.
2. More participation in the forums and on the chats, by both staff and other memembers.
That is all I can think of right now.
Oh My Gosh! It has been what, 4 years now that I have had my membership?? I cannot see a day that I do not have full access to the Craft Room. I love the Library. The recent changes there are great. I love Klo’s classes and all the past class videos, along with the Pazzles technique videos. Don’t ever take those away. They are so important to me. I refer to them often.
I know we have the Project area where we can upload photos of our designs/creations but would love to be able upload a .wpc file along with it; and be able to download a file someone else created or tweaked for their project.
Otherwise, you have been doing a great organizing job so there are no suggestions or wishes I have at this time.
Keep up the good work Pazzles Crew!
It would be good if you could make more video’s on projects start to finish and techniques that we can download and save them to a file on our computers like what people do on YouTube but we can download them and save them. thank you to all for your continued fine work on the pazzles craft room.
I know you can upload cutting files, but I can’t find out how to download files people are willing to share.
I would also like to be able to download instructional video since I have problems with internet at times. (I, being older, would love a hard copy – but I will settle for downloads!!:D)
I would also like files to carry their image/library/album tag. When I use the search, I can’t always backtrack to the original files.
Having said all of this, thanks for all of your help, patience, and hard work over the past years. You do a fantastic job.
I love the libraries! I also like Klo’s files and all of the great projects!
First I must say thanks to everyone at Pazzles from technical support, design team, to maintaining library.
I would like to be able to download the instructional videos, sometimes I have issues with internet at home and I have to view them away from machine. It would be great to download and have them to review once I’m able to get to my machine.
Great job…keep up the good work.
The Craft Room is absolutely the BEST! I think the instructional videos are the most helpful of anything on the site. I wouldn’t have a chance without those videos!
Indexes, Indexes and more Indexes to all area of the Craft Room would be so helpful. Now we have to scroll through everything and as the Craft Room grows, that takes more and more time.
The Collections and the 3D projects (Haunted Village – the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!) are my personal favorites.
Klo’s Projects are wonderful but all the interruptions drive me crazy (the interruptions are not always project related! but more of a chatting nature).
Without a doubt, the Craft Room is by far the most complete of any product library. I love the fact that when Friday comes, I can always look forward to the end of the day to see the newest additions.
Thank You for all the work all of you do to make Pazzles the very best company for paper crafting anywhere!
