I love baking with my daughter and enjoy all those special memories we create while doing so. We decided to make some cupcakes and make some quick and easy cut outs for our cupcakes using Wilton Sugar Sheets and the Pazzles Pastry Starter Kit. For these cupcakes we used the Large Flower, Flower Bunch and the Butterfly cutting files which can all be found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.
Easel cards are just so fun to create with it! For my card base I used a 6" x 6" base and scored at 3". To accent my card I used several cutting files from the Craft Room Library; Decorative Round Background, Layered Flower as well as a butterfly from the Inspiration Studio Pro 2014 image gallery. For the flowers I simply added dimensional dots to add dimension, a gem and a bit of stickles to the edges.
Summer reminds me of luau parties, and fun beach days. With this in mind I created a purse party favor using the Purse Box Square and Island Flower Bunch files, which can all be found in the Craft Room Library. To add dimension on the flowers I used Ranger Stickles and dimensional foam dots and for the leaves I simply chalked them. I also added a plumeria flower that I purchased on Ebay.
Gift cards are great for baby showers, as this allows for the mom to be to buy exactly what she needs. I thought it would be a great idea to dress up a packaging box I had saved. I used the Baby Frog, Ribbon Slot Borders and Scallop Mat files which can all be found in the Craft Room Library. Tuck cash or gift card inside this gift card box and you are ready to go.
Sometimes you just need a quick and simple card. For my card I used a 9 ½" x 6 ½" base. I used the Balloons cutting file as well as the Pocket Scrapbooking Banners which can be found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library. I decided to remove the balloon cut out and add a glitter balloon cut out instead. I then went ahead and created a sentiment using the Pocket Scrapbooking Banners and my Pen Tool. I drew some balloon strings and in just minutes I had a card ready to send out.
I just love the chalkboard look on cards. Inspired by a lovely saying that I found online, I created this note card using my Pen Tool. I created a perforated outline for the note card and then set my text in place. For my card base I used a 7" x 5" base. I used the draw tool to create two stars.
I have so many scraps left from all my projects. I’ve decided to use some of my scraps to make some flower embellishments. How fun to just make them ahead of time in different colors and sizes using all of our scraps. This way when we’re working on a project it will be much easier to just go and pull out what we need. There are so many beautiful flower cutting files in the Craft Room Library. I decided to start my embellishment collection with the Large Flower and the Flower Bunch cutting files which can all be found in the Library. I simply set the cutting file at the size I wanted. I added a dimensional square between each layer of a flowers to help give more dimension. I then chalked and embellished with either a rhinestone, brad, or pearl for the centers. Now I will have an assortment of flower embellishments to add to any project.
Easel cards are some of my favorite cards to create with it. For my card I really wanted something delicate to create my base with, so I used the Petal Square cutting file which can be found in the Craft Room Library. To create my card base I sized the file to 5 ½" x 5 ½" and then went ahead and mirrored my image to create two exact files. I welded both images together and also created a third petal square which I used on top to give it the easel card effect. After I welded both files together, I scored right in the center to create my easel base. I then attached the top file to the bottom portion of the score line. To accent my card I used a small doily, as well as a flower bunch and some flower cabochons.
It’s Sunshine Week at Pazzles! All this week we are sharing sunshine inspired projects to warm your hearts and inspire some bright, cheerful crafting! I really enjoy making shaped cards. It just adds so much more to a card. With sunshine in mind, I decided to create a sunshine shaped card. For this card I used the Cloud and Sunshine Border file. I simply sized the sun to 6", mirrored and duplicated the sun, and then joined and welded the two sides together. I then went ahead and cut a circle to fit on the inside as well as on the outside. For the outer circle I used dimensional squares to add dimension. I created a sentiment with the Ribbon Banners cutting file and used my printer to print. I also embossed the circle and added some clouds along with some stickles highlights. I finished off my card by adding some rhinestone accents.

School spirit day is every Friday at my daughter’s school. Red is the color and their mascot is an owl. I must say though I’m not too fond of their t-shirt designs. She is very girly and loves bling , so I decided to customize a tank top for her using the Pazzles Rhinestones Kit. I love that we can transform our images into something custom , unique and blingy. Watching the Creating Rhinestone Designs video has really made it easy to understand the process of creating with rhinestones.
Winter reminds me of snowflakes and mittens. With this in mind I got an idea to create a winter birthday card. I started with a 5" x 7" base card, and then went ahead and created a scalloped border using the making scallops video. The video makes it so easy to create any size scalloped borders. I used the Mittens cutting file found in the Craft Room Library and created an outline for the mittens. I also created two basic circles and printed the Make A Wish sentiment.
I wanted to create a special birthday card for a friend who loves coffee. I decided to create her card using the coffee theme. I used the Scallop Sunshine cutting file, Coffee Cup and the Let It Snow file, all of which can be found in the Craft Room Library. I enlarged the sunshine cutting file to 6 inches and mirrored and welded it to create a shaped card.
All this week members of the Pazzles Design Team will be sharing recipes for fast and easy Thank You cards. Angie starts it off today with a beautiful, elegant card. She pairs patterned paper with a simple sentiment tag to make a gorgeous card. It seems like I can never have enough damask patterned paper. I just love the elegance of it and love the variety of colors they come in. I decided to create some thank you cards using damask paper by Recollections. For my card I used a 9 ½" x 7" card base. I simply cut a piece of the patterned paper and adhered to my card base. I then stamped some flower images and cut around them. I chalked and added pearls for the centers and used liquid pearls. I then went ahead and used the Plane Tag cutting file which can be found in the Craft Room Library. For the tag I simply added the thank you sentiment and printed it. I finished my card by adding ribbon along the side.
Fall reminds me of pumpkin patches, beautiful warm colors, and pumpkin rolls. Every year I like to make pumpkin rolls and slice them to be packaged as gifts. I love that my Inspiration makes it so easy to be able to put together a cute box in no time, to make these sweets extra special. I saw the Cupcake Favor Box in the library and thought this would be perfect! I simply enlarged it a bit more. To decorate my box I used several cutting files which can be found in the Craft Room Library.
I came across some great cutting files in the Pazzles Library and was inspired to create a fall card. I needed something quick and cute, so I decided to use the print and cut technique. To create this card I used the Fall Days Title, Wood Grain Overlay 4x5, and the Banner Tag cutting files. I used Crystal Effects to give the wood grain more detail, as well as Stickles glitter on the Fall Days Title.
Inspired by the fun paper collection Steam Punk Spells by Graphic 45 and the Authentique Enchanted Halloween Collection, I decided to decorate a shadow box tray with Halloween pictures and several cutting files. All the cutting files can be found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library. To decorate the top of my shadow box tray I used the Flourish Hardware file backed by chipboard and to accent the flourish I added some sequins for some sparkle. I cut out the Spooky cutting file to add on top of the spider web coaster.
I love fall weather and all the beautiful colors. The colors of fall have inspired me to make some thank you cards.

We’ve received wonderful news! Two of my nieces are expecting, so I decided to get some cards ready. For this card I started out using a brown base card size of 4" by 7". I decided to go with a flower and button theme for this card.
Going through pictures with my mom, I came across these cute pictures of my mom and dad. I wanted to surprise my mom by creating a special layout. For the layout I wanted to go with a vintage style.
