We can do all kinds of things with our Pazzles Creative Cutter including vinyl, airbrush stencils, boxes, bags, clothing, and rhinestones just to name a few. However that doesn't change the fact that at heart, we are mostly scrapbookers. That is why I just love seeing a great idea for a scrapbook page.
Green beer not your thing? How about green cake instead!
There are so many things that you can do with your Inspiration that people are coming up with new ways all the time. Here at Pazzles we get phone calls from people using or planning to use their Inspiration for all sorts of different projects. We love hearing and seeing all of your ideas. I love this idea by Craft Room member anamoreno. She created airbrush stencils on her Pazzles Inspiration for her sons little league baseball team.

I love giving gifts but I am also on a tight budget. I really don't like having to spend an extra $5.00 or more just for the gift bag. I even try to recycle gift bags but that can be tricky to do without having them look a little over-loved before getting to the recipient. I hope I am not alone in this little quirk! That is why I love these gift bags by craft room member Dreamgal
I wish that ladies still wore hats more often. I love looking at vintage hats and all the many beautiful and unique styles that we have gone through over the decades. These little round boxes remind me so much of hat boxes and I love hat boxes as much as I love hats!
I found resisting this adorable little bug was simply impossible for this week's Fabulous Find. Melin created the lady bug in the software, filled it with her color choices, and then print and cut her out. I love that we have the ability to do this in our software and I am so inspired by Melin's project that I think I will be using this technique on a project of my own today.
I have a hard time thinking of very many little girls who would not be absolutely ecstatic to hang this sign on their door. Craft Room member Kimd made this beautiful sign for her neighbor. I love how girly this sign and how perfect it is for any girl's room, even mine! Hey, none of us are too old to be a princess in my book!
Yes it is that time of year again. A time when the aisles are filled with pink and red, teddy bears abound, and the conundrum of large boxes of sweets and tiny nighties can be found everywhere. All of this can only mean one thing, Valentine's Day is upon us! Of course we all know that Valentine's Day isn't JUST for couples, it is for anyone you love! So here is a beautiful heart box that would be perfect for anyone you want to show that you love this Valentine's Day. This box will make the perfect case for any gift you want to give!
Valentine's Day is this coming Monday and if you walk in to the stores you will see massive displays of pinks and reds everywhere right now. I doubt however that you will see anything quite as beautiful as these treat boxes made by Craft Room member, tarabrown. There are so many wonderful things about these boxes I am not sure where to start. First of all these boxes are absolutely beautiful. Secondly I love how tarabrown took advantage of so many Craft Room features for her project.
This football paper chain is incredibly easy to make and is just the right amount of clever decorating that won't be too girly. Putting this project together will only take a matter of minutes and it can be used to dress up your serving table or living room.
I think sometimes there are just so many things that we can do with our Inspirations that we often can simply focus on one aspect, like cutting paper, and be completely content. But there are so many more things that we can do with drawing, vinyl, fabric, stencils, engraving and more. That's why I love this project by Craft Room member, createwithkelly.
I have several vices (lipgloss, sunglasses, and chocolate among them) but we do not have time to cover ALL of them. So the addiction I am confessing to at this moment is to flourishes! I can't help it, I love them! I love how a single flourish can completely transform my projects in to elegant pieces of art. I never have enough flourishes either and I am always on the hunt for more. So as I was contemplating what to do for this tutorial and thinking about the kind of things that make me really excited about creating new projects, flourishes came to mind. I set out on a mission to perfect the art of making flourishes.
An adorable holder that can be used two ways. This versatile candy holder that can be used to store small candies or to top a lollipop!
A pixie stick or pencil can double as the arrow in this sweet and clever treat.
This simple box folded card conceals your valentine message and sweets!
I think that sometimes it can be difficult to create a beautiful page that is still all about the pictures and not just about all the wonderful decorations we have added. I have seen many beautiful pages that tend to pull me in to the decor on the page rather than the picture they are suppose to be enhancing. So I really appreciate it when I come across a page that has successfully tread that fine line between enhancing the photos and overtaking them.
One of life's small ironies has got to be that for many of us the most important valentine we will make every year also is for the hardest type of person to make a valentine for...a guy! Manly cards are a struggle for any occasion but add to that that Valentine's day is all about hearts, pinks, reds, and ribbon and you really have a difficult task on your hands!
I'm sure you all have had a few happy accidents while crafting: a smudge of glue you have to cover that ends up "making" the project, the "idea" that you have not working at all as planned but rather transforming in to something even better, or even just a completely unintended color scheme that spoke to you. Sometimes it feels like the project just wanted to make itself and I was merely present for the process.
Did you know that Valentine's day is on it's way? Are you sitting in your house looking around at Christmas decorations that still need to be put in boxes? Are you unable to FIND your Christmas decorations underneath the mess left from the holiday chaos? Don't worry! You are on your own for boxing the Christmas decorations but with a few great ideas from the Craft Room you can knock out your Valentine to-do's.
Happy New Year from Pazzles! Have you made your resolutions yet? Sometimes resolutions sound so much easier in theory than they are in practice and we often fail to accomplish the things we set out to do. There are some ways you can give yourself a better chance of succeeding though! Why not take your skills at crafting and put them to use for your resolutions this year? Klo decided to do just that by creating this routine chart.
I know that this branches out a bit from our usual "paper based" fabulous finds but I really couldn't help myself when I saw this wonderful dust cover Miztaken created for her inspiration. You can check out this project in library by clicking here. Miztaken used a pattern that she got from the Pazzles Inspiration Yahoo group under Files. The yahoo groups are a great additional resource for those of you who haven't visited them yet. You can visit the Pazzles Inspiration Yahoo group by clicking here. Once you are a member and signed in to the group you can click here to go directly to the pattern. Miztaken thanks for sharing your wonderful work and make sure to check your email!
