Making Your Own Boxes
Only four days to go until Christmas! If you are like me than you probably trying to wrap up your Christmas shopping and get everything wrapped and under the tree. For me, that's about the time I realize that I need a lot of boxes in a lot of sizes that I don't have for gifts like necklaces, cookies, and ornaments. A pretty box can make all the difference when getting a gift.
Santa and Moose Candy Boxes
This moose and Santa make an adorable pair of boxes that sit upright for display and open to reveal a box for goodies or potpourri!
An Imposter
This card was created by Craft Room member toni who used a sleigh from our library and added this horse "imposter". I just couldn't resist this adorable card because the idea was clever, funny, and perfectly executed.
Gingerbread House
I really can't imagine who wouldn't love the idea of a house built of candy. Real gingerbread houses always seem to be one of those things that I want to do every Christmas and yet every Christmas I run out of time to do it. So when I saw Chris's awesome gingerbread house I just knew I had to make my own.
Homemade Gifts
When I see absolutely gorgeous creations like this box by craft room member, Pinkalicious, I'm in love instantly. This stunning treat or gift box would make any gift extra special. I love that Pinkalicious used a soft green and white. Perhaps not the first colors you would think of for Christmas but the results speak for themselves. Thank you Pinkalicious for sharing your "gift" with us and I hope that this project inspires the rest of you to make your own gifts!
Let It Snow!
Craft Room member "clw4514" confesses that this is her "1st original that I am actually willing to post a picture of. I've had my machine for a year and just now am I able to feel comfy cozy with my stuff." Well clw4515, I think your snowman bag is adorable. I love that this is a project easily accessible for beginners but even us "old hands" will love how cute he is.
12 Ornaments of Christmas
To say that I love Christmas would be a gross understatement. I love everything about it: the tree, Christmas lights, the music, the food, the time with family, the cards, the gifts...I could go on and on! Last year in the spirit of the holiday we did the 12 Tags of Christmas. Since many of you joined after that time I'm guessing you may not have seen those tags so make sure to check those out. This year we are doing the 12 ornaments of Christmas!
Harvest Spread
The way food is presented has a huge effect on how we perceive it to taste.It may all be in our heads but we simply cannot help that a wonderful looking spread makes us believe it is also a wonderful tasting spread. Well we may not be able to help you with the cooking part, for that you are on your own! But we can help you with making your harvest feast look amazing!
Little Presents
I think the Craft Room member Anamoreno put it best in one of her comments on this week's fabulous find "Cutting files are like little presents!" and they truly are. This series of cutting files shared by Craft Room member Astros_fan are absolutely adorable.
Inspiration Carry Bag Now Shipping!
Our long anticipated Inspiration Carry Bags are now shipping! I love this bag for so many reasons: the size, the pockets, the practicality, and especially the price!! I suppose my Inspiration could fit in to other bags but the thought of it slipping and sliding around really makes me nervous. This bag is tailored specifically for the Inspiration and fits it perfectly and cushions it with thick padding to keep it safe. I also really appreciate all the thought that obviously went in to this bag. You can tell this bag was made by people who own and use their Inspirations a lot, and who travel a lot too!
Rosettes
Today's fabulous find is by craftroom member "brensdesigns". She made these beautiful rosettes because she had some just like them but wanted to be able to resize them and customize them. I love these because I find myself doing the same thing all the time. Ever since I was introduced to the Pazzles cutting systems I was "ruined" (or perhaps the right word is fixed!). Now when I got to stores all I find myself thinking is "Oh, I can design that!" or "Oh I could make that with my Inspiration!".
Thanksgiving Turkey Boxes
I love these silly little turkeys which stand up on their own and open up to reveal a box inside. I find it hard to refrain from smiling every time I look at them. What a fun way to decorate for Thanksgiving!
Creating Custom Rhinestone Text
A few months back when I was invited to a bridal shower, I went to the store not really knowing what I was going get. I had rhinestones on the brain because I had been spending weeks finding the best way to create rhinestones with the Inspiration. So when I saw an adorable t-shirt and short set on sale a light bulb went on.
Find the Golden Butterfly: A ...
We are trying something a little different here at the Craft Room and I hope that it is as much fun as I imagine it being. We are going to play a game, a scavenger hunt to be exact! Here is how the game works. The Game: Scattered throughout various locations on the Pazzles Craft Room are six butterflies, five clue butterflies and one golden butterfly. You might find one on a thread in the forum, or while watching a video, or in the albums, or really anywhere on the site! The five clue butterflies provide hints to where the golden butterfly is. The golden butterfly is hidden somewhere on the site and will be very hard to find.
A Crop of Compliments
As some of you may already know, I have a background in education. So I really love seeing teachers using the Inspiration for school. Especially elementary teachers for their bulletin boards! Craft Room member, kl71389, used her Inspiration to cut out everything on this board for her classroom.
Halloween Food Tags
Turn your Halloween spred into "Green Grog", "Mummy fingers", and "Pureed zombie" with these fun and simple Halloween food tags!
Monster Mash
Be careful everyone, the Pazzles Craft Room has been invaded by terrifying MONSTERS!!!!! Well...ok, maybe they are not so terrifying, but they sure are cute! There are six little creatures prowling the craft room right now and you will really want to take a closer look.
New Faces
I have seen some new faces in the albums this week and that is soo exciting! Everyone has their own style and I love seeing what everyone out there is up to and what they are in to. It always inspires me to expand my own style just a little a little bit when I see the beautiful things other people are doing.
Creating Rhinestone Designs
Ok, I know it isn't a Tricky Tuesday but I just simply couldn't wait to share more information about the new rhinestone feature in the Inspiration Studio Pro software! I have to tell you that the new rhinestone colors came in to Pazzles this week and they are so gorgeous! The pictures just can't do justice to all the sparkle and beauty of their color. I love them all and I think you will too! This video tutorial will show you how you can create your own rhinestone designs using the Inspiration Studio Pro software.
Eye Candy
Wow, I had a really hard time choosing a project this week. Not because I couldn't find anything "worthy" but because there were just so many wonderful projects. Everyone is gearing up for Halloween festivities and the treat bags, cards, and pages are making me think of candy for Halloween in a whole new way - eye candy!
