Getting the Most From Technical ...
I take a lot of tech support calls during the week and I know how important your time is. When we are on the phone or a chat together I want to make the most of our time. So I have put together a list of things to do before you call in and things to tell me when you call so that you can get the most out of your technical support.
Reference Guide to Using Your ...
This blog will help you to determine the best way to use new mats, how to store them, and when it’s time to retire them.
Blade and Blade Holder Reference ...
I love a quick reference guide, and I have no doubt you do too. So I have put together this quick reference guide for all of the questions that you may have about your blade holder and blades.
Graduation Cap Box
It’s that time of year when school is almost out for summer. That means that graduation is just right around the corner for our proud 2012 graduates. Whether it’s high school or college graduation I hope that this graduation cap box will add the perfect touch to your party decor and favors. Not only does it make a nice gift filled with sweet treats and money for the lucky grad, but it’s also a great way for guests to remember this special event as well.
What Papers Do You Love ...
The one thing that we all have in common is our love of paper. There are a lot of different brands, types, textures and as a result each of these will impact the quality of your cuts. In your experience what papers seem to give you the best results for your crafting projects?
What Helps Keep You Organized?
While some of us may be thinking spring cleaning and maintenance to our homes both inside and out; don’t forget about keeping your crafting areas clean and organized too! Share with us some of your own organizational skills that will help other Craft Room members stay as organized as you are.
How To Know When A ...
Blades have a way of acting like a good haircut does - one day your hair is perfect, then you wake up the next day and think "Wow! I need a hair cut!". Blades can feel like they go bad just as suddenly and it can be an easy to forget how long you have actually used a blade.
Cut Marks on Your Mat
It can sometimes be hard to determine what pressure settings to use. Often times our mats have the tell tale signs of trial and error while we work on getting the perfect combination of blade length and pressure. I will admit that I hang on to my mats for a very long time. Here at Pazzles we, just like you, try to make our mats last as long as possible. The result is some very well loved mats!

Don’t Forget to Turn Your ...
I have a certain set up here at work where I keep my Inspiration and all of my paper supplies I need to test cut my creations. I love how convenient it is to create something on my computer and then simply turn on my Inspiration and cut my project. With all the paper right here at my finger tips I hardly have a reason to leave my desk. However, one little problem I have is forgetting to turn my Inspiration off at the end of the day.
The Difference Between Registering Your ...
I have been receiving so many questions in regards to the Pro software. I’m very happy that you’re all so excited by the benefits of upgrading to this version and hope it has you all creating wonderful projects and fancy rhinestone images.
Test Cutting Your Projects
I have a hard time throwing things away as I’ve probably mentioned before. I will save almost every scrap piece of paper I have. In fact, I have a hefty stack of papers at my desk now that are really piling up. I always like the idea of having scrap pieces of paper for small projects, and they’re always great to have on hand to run test cuts of the files I’ve created.
Disappearing Tool Bars
Who doesn’t love a good magic show that has a great disappearing act? However when it comes to looking for things in the software, it is not as much fun searching for icons that disappear. If you ever find that you are on the search for your tool bars that disappear in the software there is a location where you will be able to find all your tool bars.
What is That Sound?
Have you ever been cutting a project and all of a sudden the Inspiration will make a shuddering sound and perhaps a “pop” noise that goes along with it?
Shamrock Bag
If St. Patrick’s Day pinching really isn’t your thing perhaps making this little Shamrock bag filled with chocolate gold coins will leave a bit O’ luck for coworkers and friends.
Using the Designer Chat Feature
I have to admit that I’m not much of a phone person. I love the ability texting provides to ask a quick question and get an immediate response. Our designer chat works the same way. If you’re in the middle of working on a project and have a quick how to question, jump online and ask a Pazzles representative. We are always happy to answer your questions and help you complete those last minute projects.
There’s “Sew” Much You Can ...
The crafting world isn't exclusively for paper crafting and our Inspiration has found a place in the homes of crafters of all kinds. We have a lot of designers, jewelers, and a number of quilters excited about using our machine as well. We are making scissors a thing of the past! With that in mind I thought I would address the big fabric question. So many of you often ask this question: is the Inspiration capable of cutting fabric?
What Can the Craft Room ...
I will admit I’m not much of a shopper. In fact, I’m the kind of girl that goes shopping to get that must have outfit for a special event or occasion with the hopes I don’t have to go shopping again for a while. I love the whole process of shopping online, because it keeps me at home in my PJ’s on Saturday mornings, and who doesn’t love that?! Unfortunately there can be times that I visit my favorite online stores and wonder how I missed the clearance special, or why I never noticed those great pair of shoes that were 40% off last week. I want your experience with our website to be about getting the most bang for your buck, and there is so much more to take advantage of than just visiting what’s new on the front page.
2012 Valentine’s Day Project Roundup

This fun cowgirl card has a waterfall interactive feature. Just pull on the tab of this card and watch it transform in front of your eyes!
Keeping Extra Supplies on Hand
I’m often asked what additional items should be purchased or kept on hand at all times to use with the Inspiration. I would love to make a list that included all of our tools, several packs of vinyl (we have some amazing colors, you should check them out!) every color of rhinestone and our CD’s too. We all know it’s not necessary to have all those things, but wouldn’t it be nice!? By just keeping the basics on hand you’ll never be in a pinch.
Fancy Heart Frame
A beautiful flourish heart created with the pen tool frames this card and keepsake for someone you love.
Alligator Valentine
This alligator was easy to make and his heart scales add just the right amount of detail. Enjoy him as a simple card, or to hang inside a book as a bookmark for kids or teachers.
