June Challenge Winner!
For June I challenged you to make a project using an image from the Craft Room Library that you had never used before. I think this was a really fun challenge and from the looks of it you guys had a lot of fun with it too! If you haven't seen all of the member made projects yet, make sure to check them out because they are incredible!
Farm Animal Boxes
My dad has been and always will be a dairy farmer. Oh sure, we pulled him in to the scrapbooking business for quite a while but as the saying goes you can take the man out of the dairy, but you can't take the... Okay maybe that isn't quite the saying but you get what I mean! So when I needed a gift box for him I decided to turn a gable box in to a cow. The little cow turned out so adorable and was so easy I decided to make him a few little friends. Aren't they adorable? These are a very quick project and are so cute. I hope you enjoy them!
The Pazzles Family is Growing!
I am so excited to introduce you to the newest addition to our Pazzles family! Amanda H. just joined our team this week as our new Marketing Manager. Her exuberant spirit, passion for crafting, and extensive knowledge are a wonderful addition to our team. Plus, I have a new office roomie, yay! We thought it would be a great idea to give Amanda H. a moment to introduce herself to all of you and share her first official Pazzles file. I am sure you will see many new and exciting things coming soon from her!
Moustache Heart Card
A mustache card! Honestly how were we going to get through this masculine card series without a mustache card? This card is very easy to make and though it is simple, I think it is also adorable! I have also included alternative text so the card can say "Thank You" or "Happy Birthday". With how in trend mustaches are right now I am sure you can find someone who will love this card!
A Blustery Day!
Wow! We have had some tumultuous weather at Pazzles last night and today! A lot of our area has been suffering from power outages and knocked down lines, and unfortunately Pazzles headquarters is not immune! Our internet and phones have been up and down all morning. We are currently running on our backup internet however if you have tried to contact us either via chat or phone today and haven't gotten through we hope you will forgive us! We'll keep working on getting a more reliable connection but until then we're are just trying to not blow away on this blustery day!
No Classes for June
Tomorrow Klo will be winging her way to Australia to do some exciting Pazzles work with our friends across the sea! Due to her trip there will be NO CLASSES IN JUNE! We're sorry for the break but hope you can understand how important it is for our international friends to get a chance to spend time with Klo! Remember that we have all of Klo's classes archived so if you have ever missed a class, now is a great time to catch up on what you missed! Click here to go to the archived classes!
You Are A Treasure Button ...
Button, button, who's got a button? This card centers around a big button. So go dig through your stash of buttons (we both know you have one) and find one! You can then easily coordinate your paper colors to match the button for a perfect card for any occasion. y the way, you may have noticed that today's card and yesterday's card both use stamps from Verve®. We are loving their stamps and think you will too so if you haven't already taken advantage of the coupon for 15% off all Verve stamps at www.shopverve.com maybe today should be the day! Come back tomorrow for another card in our Masculine Card series!
Pennant Card
I love this card for a couple reasons. First of all it is a wonderful way to use up small scraps you have laying around. Secondly, it can easily be adapted to any color theme which means it is easy to make this a girl card too! I also love that it is just classic and elegant. I hope you enjoy this second card in our Masculine Card series!
Origami Tie Card
June means a lot of things to me - half way through the year, summer vacation, and both Father's day and my father's birthday. So as we were thinking on projects for this month, I naturally started thinking about "man" cards. For most of us, manly cards are a struggle. There are so many options out there for girly things between ribbons, rhinestones, flowers and swirls; when it comes to the guys on the other hand I am often at a loss. Our team decided to face this challenge head on and bring you a series of masculine cards that hopefully will help you always have the card you need for the men in your life. We hope you enjoy this card series!
June Challenge!
Do you ever look around your craft area and think to yourself "I am not sure if my hobby is crafting....or collecting."? I know many of you log on and get your cutting files, carefully making sure to collect as many as you can, but how many of those files are still waiting to be used? With that in mind, here's this month's challenge: Make a new project using at least one image from the Pazzles Craft Room library that you have never used before.
May Challenge Winner!
It's that time again, time to announce our winner of the month for our challenge! This month the challenge was to create a Father's day project. Projects that are "manly" can be quiet a challenge indeed but you guys really rose to the occasion. If you haven't already, make sure to check out all the Father's Day projects!
Hot Air Balloon Card
I was inspired to make this card for my mother because riding in a hot air balloon is on her bucket list.I have gotten so used to having the freedom to create whatever I want on the Inspiration I tend to kind of forget how "the rest of the world" lives! Shaped cards like this one are super easy to make. I made a video a while back on shaped cards so if you haven't seen it I am including it with this blog so that the next time you need a special card for a special gift you will know exactly how to make it!
Teapot Box
I've made a lot of box patterns during my time at Pazzles, and I mean a LOT. I am, if I may so say without sounding too conceited, pretty good at it. Other people are gifted at making scrapbook pages, cards, altered arts etc. but as for me, boxes are where it is at. While I am proud of every box I make, some just have a little something extra that makes me ever so proud. This is one of those boxes. I love all the curves of this box and I love how well it emulates a real tea pot!
Image Center Retirement
Whoa don't panic! We are NOT shutting down the image library with downloadable images at the Pazzles Craft Room. So what is the Image Center? The Image Center is a feature of our original version of Pazzles.com where members could purchase credits and buy images individually. However this image center has slowly become more and more obsolete with the introduction of our new library here at the Craft Room. So we have decided it is time to retire the Image Center. The Image Center will be shut down on May 31st, 2012.
Crafty Shopper Special: Sakura Stardust ...
Sakura gel pens have always been one of our favorite pens to use in the pen tool. Why? First of all they are great pens with a wonderfully even flow - which means no unexpected splotches or skipping while you are drawing or journaling using the pen tool. Second of all the come in so many beautiful colors and types. One of our all time favorite Sakura pens are the Stardust pens. So of course we had to offer these great pens as a Crafty Shopper special! We have a limited quantity of these pens and our last Craft Shopper special sold out in 24 hours so don't wait or it might be too late!
Magic Slider Card
About two weeks ago someone in the forums asked about a cutting file for how to make a "magic slider" card. I had no idea what they meant so I went to my good ol' standby, Google, and started looking. Wow! How cool are these cards? As you pull on the slider your stamped design magically fills with color! Of course there is a trick to it is quite clever! This idea works with any stamp design so you can adapt this idea for a card for just about any occasion. Both the quote and the flower stamp are stamps from Verve©. Aren't they lovely? I thought this card would be perfect for Mother's day or as a "just because" card.
Eiffel Tower Box
An adorable Eiffel tower box that you can fill with Parisian treats (or Hershey's kisses).

Lollipop Covers with Verve™ Stamps
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Easter is almost here! Over here in the west side of the country we've been having chillier weather than normal . In fact we had a heavy snow fall just a few days ago! You can imagine that the weather is making it even harder to put my mind in spring mode! I think however, that this project did the trick for me. This project is so simple and I just love how it turned out.
