Week Wrap Up
Another week has come and gone, and the holiday season is upon us! In between the family visits, turkey cooking, shopping and gift wrapping we hope you find some time to enjoy all the great gifts we have for you here at the Craft Room!
Mini Albums
Mini albums are wonderful way to commemorate a special event, topic or someone. They make great gifts and coffee table books too! This week we took our own spin on albums using a design created by our very own Lisa. These little mini albums close shut by themselves using a short flap and slightly resemble a matchbook in shape. These were so much fun to do and we all took very different approaches to the project.
We are ready!
The time has finally come for the Pazzles Craft Room to go public! We are so excited to share this site with the crafting community and hope you will love what we have here.You guys are what make this place really special and we can't wait to grow this community!
Cards
Sometimes I think we can get so wound up in all of the many things that the Creative Cutter can do that we forget how much easier even simple tasks are with the Creative Cutter. Of course I love paper piecing designs and cute titles just as much as the next person. But don’t forget that you can make perfectly proportioned window cards, tags of any size with a perfectly centered circle hole, or cards of any unique dimension!
Something New Every Day
Here at the Craft Room we are really starting to settle in to our routine and it is becoming increasingly clear that the Craft Room is an addictive place to be! With new blogs every day, new projects, lots to talk about in the forums, videos to watch, projects to share, and cutting files to download you can find something new here every day!
How Do Your Friends Inspire ...
This past week our team at Pazzles created tags for one of our upcoming featured projects. I decided I wanted to try my hand at making a dimensional rose. In my eyes, I'm still a pretty green in the crafting world. There are just so many different mediums and tools, I feel like every week I am running to my friends to have the explain to me how to use something.
Clipboards
How about spicing up your every day tasks with a little creativity and your Pazzles machine? That's what we at Pazzles decided to do and we certainly had a lot of fun! I think choosing "favorites" out of all the projects we do would be far too difficult but this one would certainly be up there!
Final Polishing
We are now a month in to beta and almost all aspects of the website are receiving some final polishing. We are so excited to see all of our hard work pay off and plan to continue adding and expanding on this already wonderful site! In case you missed it, here is what went on at the Craft Room this week.
A Touch of Glitter
The Pen Tool has to be my favorite Pazzles tool, hands down. Don't get me wrong, I love all the other tools too. Each one has helped me achieve the perfect touches to my projects at one point or another. I think the sheer mileage I have gotten out of the Pen tool tips it over as my favorite. My absolute favorite thing to do is to use a glue pen and glitter to create glitter text or accents.
Huge Steps Forward in Beta
As we watch week four of beta draw to a close, we've made some huge steps forward. One of the most exciting additions this week is our new store, but there have been many exciting additions to the Craft Room this week!
Closing in on the Finish ...
Rounding out week three of beta, we are slowly getting closer to the finish line! Lots of new and exciting things are being added every day and the Pazzles Craft Room is quickly becoming an addictive place to socialize with other crafters!
Sticky Mats
My Pazzles mat and I used to have a somewhat love/hate relationship. I’d break out a brand new mat and then put a new piece of paper on it, cut my project, and then my mat just wouldn’t let go of the paper! Arg! Then a few sheets of paper later my mat would calm down a little and start behaving more like a gentlemen. It wouldn’t take long till I had almost forgotten the early wrongs of my mat and it was love from then on out.
Beta at its Best!
We are in our second week of beta here at the Pazzles Craft Room and what a great week it has been. Every day there is more activity on the site and we are so excited to be able to share this website with all of you! Here's what happened this week at the Pazzles Craft Room!
What’s Your Style?
Here at Pazzles, many of us have been putting in a lot of hours creating new images for the Craft Room Image Library. Each week we get together to share our creations and I have to say it is one of my favorite parts of the week. We have been doing this for several months now and over that time I've come to realize that each one of us has our own unique style when creating cutting files. These styles now seem so distinct to me that I could easily pick out one of their designs from a line up. Of course all artists - painters, photographers, musicians, scrapbookers - have their own style so why not us "vectorizers"?
