Thank you for your feedback and compliments on our Pazzles InVue software. We're glad so many of you are beginning to feel comfortable using it. The addition of new features will be an ongoing project, but yesterday we released a new update for the InVue software. To access the update you simply need to open your software and the update will apply automatically. Here are some of the changes you will notice: Windows Platforms Can Now Associate PVG Files with the Software: You can now automatically open a PVG file in the InVue software by clicking on the file in Windows Explorer. New Multiply tool: This is a brand new feature we've added. The Multiply tool can be seen on the bottom of the left hand toolbar. Spend some time playing with this tool to discover all of the cool design options it features. Essentially this allows you to select an image and make evenly spaced multiples of it. To use this feature, select an item and you will see the orange bounding box appear. You can set your spacing in the multiply toolbar that will appear at the top of the screen. From there you can enter the number of multiples across and up that you would like. Or, simply drag the bounding box and the image will multiply to fill in the space. It's like magic!

Over the past few months we've been collecting your feedback on our new InVue software. Behind the scenes we've been fixing bugs and taking notes on your requests for new features. The addition of new features will be an ongoing project, but today we are releasing a new update for the InVue software. To access the update you simply need to open your software and the update will apply automatically. Here are some of the changes you will notice: Move By Action to Multiply: The Move By Button will now maintain the last value typed in. This makes it easier to use the move by feature to replicate the Multiply function. Select your object, set your distance in the Move By dialog box, select the clone button and click the "Clone" button to evenly space like objects a specific distance from each other. (Think of a row of identical dots all evenly spaced.)

Our warehouse is packed with Inspiration Vue™ Creative Cutters and many more are headed to your homes. We are continuing to send emails and ship them in the order that the pre-orders were received. Thank you for your patience as we work through the lists and get these rainbow colored bundles of happiness on their way. We've had questions on the two software options and so today I'd like to give you a rundown of the two options. For reference here is a software comparison sheet that gives you a detailed list of features. Click here for the Software Comparison Download InVue™ Every new machine ships with our in house design software, InVue. We've developed this software to make designing and cutting with your new Inspiration Vue as easy as possible. Beginners will find the design options easy to understand and use. Advanced users will love the intuitive print & cut process that is built right into the software, and new features such as the ability to save directly to SVG file format and Mac compatibility. If you have an original Inspiration and would like the InVue software, it can be purchased separately in the Pazzles Online Store. (Note: When you choose the digital download option of the InVue software you get both the Mac and Windows versions together, so be prepared for a longer than usual download time.)
Did you notice something new in the Pazzles store? Actually it is three new somethings! We are excited to release three new products designed to make cutting and drawing with your Inspiration even easier. Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference, and we think these are some pretty cool little things! The Pen Tool Spacer, Spatula, and Fine Point Tweezers were developed by Pazzles Designers based on requests from customers. Pazzles Spatula Tool Lifting small designs from a very sticky mat can be a bit tricky. The Pazzles Spatula Tool is designed to take your fingernails out of the equation when lifting up your cut designs. The smooth angled edge glides along your mat, lifting your projects without tearing or curling.
The Pazzles Craft Room will be down for maintenance Tuesday, July 1, 2014 from approximately 9:00 am (MST) to 1:00pm (MST). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you for your patience!

We have received several calls regarding the Heartbleed Virus that is affecting some companies. We want to reassure our Pazzles customers that we have not been affected by the Heartbleed Virus. This virus has impacted nearly 2/3 of the internet, however our version of OpenSSL was not affected by the virus. You can find more information on this virus here.
The Pazzles Design Team has been inspiring us for over a year now and it is time to say goodbye to one and welcome our newest designers. Tara Brown has wowed us with her projects again and again, but she has decided to step down from the Design Team. We will miss her elegant vintage design in the Craft Room, but be sure and stop by her blog to say hello to her now and then. Thank you Tara! Please help me welcome our newest Pazzles Design Team Members:
