Introducing the Inspiration Vue™. The powerful creative cutter you know and love, with sleek new upgrades and in fresh trendy colors! With the release of the Inspiration Vue we bring you patent-pending precision print and cut, brand new Mac and Windows compatible InVue design software, enhanced mat feeding and stability, and even more cutting power. All of this at a reduced price. The Inspiration Vue is a DIY crafter’s dream. We’ve answered a few of your burning questions in our FAQ post but we know you are excited and want every detail. Keep reading to the bottom of this post for details on a pre-launch party Monday March 10. Precision Print And Cut The Inspiration Vue features a new optical eye to make Print And Cut projects easy and accurate. Our revolutionary new system scans the actual page to determine cutting placement. It is not necessary to use registration marks, thus reducing paper waste. Registration marks can be turned on for enhanced accuracy, or for those who prefer registration marks. The result is accurate cuts around images you have printed on your home computer.
On Wednesday we announced that a new Pazzles Creative Cutter is coming. We are thrilled at your excitement for the new Inspiration Vue™ and cannot wait until we can begin shipping them to your homes. We've noticed a few recurring questions on our blog and on our Facebook page, and so we've compiled a list of FAQ's to address some of your questions. We will be releasing more information in the coming weeks, but for now here are the answers to a few of your burning questions. Q:What is Print And Cut? A: Print and Cut is a method for creating your own printed embellishments. Customers can print clip art from the web (or clipart they've designed themselves) on their home printer and then place it on the Inspiration Vue™ mat and cut around the clipart image. You can create Print and Cut images with our current Inspiration, however the Inspiration Vue™ features a new optical eye that streamlines the process and will give you precision cuts every time.

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.
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

After having so much fun putting together the Pazzles Express Train Engine in this week's class, we have decided that each evening at 7pm CDT (Central Time Zone) we are going to have a mini class on the assembly of each part of the Pazzles Express. Tonight's class will be for yesterday's train. Wednesday's class will be for today's part, etc. This will allow you time to get everything cut and ready, so that you can follow along. If you missed the assembly for the Engine, you can watch it here.

Attention Inspiration users using an Apple computer! Apple has introduced their new operating system Mavericks, and we have discovered that your Inspiration will no longer work once you have upgraded. This affects anyone using the Adobe Illustrator plugin, Sure Cuts A Lot(SCAL), Makes the Cut or any other third party software running on Apple. Apple released their own version of our driver that doesn't appear to work. At the moment, we are waiting for an official fix from Apple or possibly even the maker of the driver.
Congratulations to our World Card Making Day Winners Kerstin Juchli and Beverly Herdt! Thank you to all who played along. The World Card Making Day Gallery Albums are brimming with beautiful cards and our Operation Write Home pile is growing! Please remember to send in your cards for Operation Write Home by October 31. We will package them up and send them off!
