Glamour Girl Collection: WPC, AI ...

As a young girl I used to love to sneak into my grandma's bathroom and look at all of her old fashioned Avon perfume bottles. She had so many of them with just a drop or two of perfume left in them. I didn't dare pick them up, but I would run my fingers over the edges to try and pick up some of the scent. Her old fashioned vanity set seemed so glamorous to me. We've named this pretty paper vanity set Glamour Girl and hope it will inspire you to create for the glamour girls in your own life!


You Rule Teacher Chair Hanger

This school supply inspired valentine can be tied to the back of the teacher' chair and filled with treats After the holiday he/she can use it to hold notes or paperclips.



Tic Tac Toe Valentine

Tic tac toe game valentine. Put a personalized note inside with the Xs and Os and tuck the heart shaped tab closure to close the envelope.


Cut And Paste Sketches: Fancy ...

Lately I have been really into shaped cards. As electronic die cutting machines become more commonplace , shaped cards have started to get very popular. A unique base shape is such a great way to start off a card. It's easy to make your own shaped cards using the technique taught in our Making Shaped Cards Video, but I thought it would fun to create a fancy oval frame for the base of today's sketch.


Be Mine Valentine Collection

Tatum the party queen has struck again! She's created the cutest Valentine's Day decorations and little tokens of love to help you celebrate with your special someone. The Be Mine Valentine Collection features eight different projects that are easy to assemble and ready for your personal touch. My favorite from this collection is the wings. Tatum used a gold pen and the Pazzles Pen Tool to draw the feathers and then cut them out. The cutting file includes an additional cutting line so you can back them with chipboard for sturdiness, or add a vellum layer for softness. I'm already planning the projects I'll make with them.



Valentine Drink with Straw

Our January challenge is in full swing. As a reminder the challenge this month is to create a Valentine's Day project using the color gold. I've seen lots of beautiful creations show up in the January Challenge Album, but if you haven't yet submitted, now is the time to do it. For details on how to enter and a list of prizes visit the Challenge page. Angie Contreras


DIY Football Game Gear

Judging by the amount of yelling and cheering coming from my family room this weekend, it's football playoff season, which means the big game is coming soon. To put it in terms we will all understand, it's like the National Scrapbook Day of football. Lots of cheering and yelling, good food, amazing commercials, and friends and family make this a day to celebrate. Use your Pazzles Inspiration to get in the spirit and make your own DIY football game gear.


Valentine Shadow Box

I love holidays, and I really love holidays that include lots of chocolate. Valentine's Day seems to revolve around chocolate, which makes it one of my favorites. It's time to start your love themed crafting in preparation of the big day. I've seen shadow boxes all over the crafting world and while most are made of something a bit more solid like metal or wood, I wanted to try my hand at making a paper version. The result is a valentine of epic proportions that can stick around for a while as reminder of your love. I've embellished my little boxes with hearts and glitter, but it would be fun to add little mementos of your time together in each box as well. The files for this project are free for everyone!



Cut And Paste Sketch: A ...

Several years ago I created a layout of my son with various pictures of his day. I recently came across this page and realized how precious it was. Even though the events of the day weren't exciting, it was those tiny moments that brought back a flood of memories. Most of our days are just ordinary days full of ordinary things, but years later the ordinary is special and you'll be thankful to have preserved them. As you take pictures of your day don't be afraid to take pictures of things in your life too, such as a favorite purse or a favorite room in your house. It will be fun to look back years later and notice the details.


Pazzles Introduces Spellbinders Digital Die ...

We have a fabulous announcement! Pazzles has teamed up with Spellbinders to bring back some of their most popular retired dies in digital cutting file formats! The creative possibilities are endless when you can cut, emboss, distress, pierce or pen tool any of the layers of a Nestabilities or Shapeabilities die. Combine the different layers in hundreds of combinations and resize to fit your project. The Spellbinders Cutting Collections are available in the Pazzles Online Store now! We are excited to see these files in action and can't wait to be impressed by your creations. The downloadable digital files are compatible with the original metal dies. You can use them in conjunction with the metal dies, or on their own. We've color coded the die lines within the files so it is easy to determine which lines are the original dies and which are enhancement lines added by Pazzles. Design Team Member Tara Brown created all of the samples you see in this post.


Winter Sled Gift Box

A sled full of treats that goes together easily and makes a perfect winter gift. Fill with treats or a small gift for a winter birthday, Christmas, or just as a special treat!



Cut And Paste Sketches: Just ...

I like to have a few all purpose cards on hand for the times when I need a card quick. Today's Cut And Paste Sketch can fill in for a birthday, a get well card, or anything else you might need last minute. The Just For You sentiment applies to any occasion. The sentiment is cut from the top layer so whatever paper you have placed underneath shows through. Try a brightly colored patterned paper for a fun look. Add a character or a floral design on the circle piece, or add a die cut shape in place of the circle.


New Year's Midnight Countdown Bags

New Years Party Collection

Tatum has designed yet another adorable collection and as soon as I saw it I knew just what I would make with it. The New Years Party Collection has everything you need to ring in the New Year and then record the memories. I have small children and this year my niece will be joining us for the night. I've created party bags for every hour, that the kids can open and then complete the activity. I used the images from the New Years Party Collection to decorate my bags and then added numbers to represent the time the bag should be opened. I think my kids will love this and as an added bonus, maybe the "How much longer?" questions will be fewer. You can fill your bags with whatever activities you'd like to suit the ages of children (or adults) you are entertaining.


Merry Christmas From Pazzles

Thank you all so much for another wonderful year. We so appreciate your support of Pazzles and we can't wait to share with you the great things that are coming in 2014! Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season! ~The Pazzles Crew



Snowflake Embossed Cards And A ...

If the weather outside is frightful, stay inside, and make some winter paper projects. Armed with a few pads of Core'dinations cardstock and the Pazzles Embossing Tool, I made a trio of cards to celebrate the wintry weather. We've long been a fan of Core'dinations here at Pazzles. Distressing the cardstock adds a special element to a project. Using the embossing tool and then distressing it, takes it to a new level. When you use the embossing tool you have two unique looks depending on the side of the paper you choose to use. The embossing tool actually debosses the front of the paper leaving an indention as it moves through the design. Once your embossing is complete and you pull the paper off of the embossing mat, the backside of the paper is embossed and the image is raised. By sanding either of these sides you get a different look.

Origami Titles Collection: WPC, AI ...

I love to add unique, cool design elements to my scrapbook pages and projects. Our collection today is both unique and cool and I think you will find many ways to use these. Tatum has designed the Origami Titles Collection to be used as layering pieces on layouts and cards, or they can stand alone as tags. The folds and flaps on each of the titles look even more amazing when you use double sided patterned paper or cardstock to construct them.
