Join the Adobe Illustrator Plugin ...

Pazzles is developing a plug in that will allow users to cut directly from Adobe Illustrator! This is an especially exciting new feature not only for fans of Adobe Illustrator but also for MAC users who will be able to cut projects without having to switch to a Windows based operating system! While we are still in the development stages, we are looking for a few very special customers who would like to participate in beta testing for this exciting new feature! Keep reading to see the list of requirements you will have to meet in order to be part of the beta team and find out how to volunteer to participate!

Pastry Tools Teaser

I'm working late tonight trying to get everything ready for the Pastry Tools! We are so close to being ready I can almost taste it (haha get it? TASTE!). While I am waiting for some videos to render I thought I might give you a little teaser. So, here is another one of our cakes we made for the video tutorials that are included in the Pastry Starter Kit. There is SO MUCH information in these tutorials. I wish someone could have handed me these videos when I was first learning!

Please Accept

My Apologies. If you have had trouble viewing the most recent tutorial videos I would like to ask you to forgive me. I switched to a new computer recently and although I thought I had all the settings correct, I had overlooked one tiny check mark. I have re-rendered the last 6 Tricky Tuesday tutorials and you should be able to view them as easily as you have in the past. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Chris

Take A Tour of the ...

Are you using your Pazzles Craft Room membership to it's full potential? I know plenty of people who absolutely love the library, but don't even know that we have live classes.

Why not watch our brand new promo video for the Pazzles Craft Room which will walk you through all of the features of the Craft Room. You may discover things about your member ship that you didn't even know!

‘Royally’ Beautiful!

This week I chose this card created by Pinkalicious of the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate. I thought this would be a wonderful way to honor such a special occasion for our friends in the UK. I will admit that I was very excited to watch the wedding. Our family line is actually related to Princess Diana of Wales so it made the royal wedding even more special to me.

Baby Book

First of all I have to say that I had an exceptionally hard time picking a winner this week because there were so many awesome projects that went up. There was an amazing cake, delicious hat, and so many gorgeous other creations. So many would be worthy of the Fabulous Find for the week but alas, there can only be one! So after much debate I have chosen this spectacular baby book by Craft Room member "harrypfan".

Partying with Your Pazzles

The few times I have gotten ambitious enough to do a theme party I always discover, to my dismay, that finding decorations that are right is not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. The more specific the theme, the harder it gets. Even if I can find stuff it often doesn't all match or it is very expensive. Of course, that was all before the Pazzles Inspiration came along.

Beautiful Gift Set

This beautiful gift set was made by craft room member Tarabrown and submitted for the March challenge (if you haven't heard about our new awesome challenges make sure to check them out by clicking here!). She started with a gift card (bottom picture) using the pattern provided from one of our projects. You can check that project out by clicking here.

Showtime….

For the last month or so, I have thought I was on top and in first place....then I realized, I was so far behind that I only THOUGHT I was in first place. *grin The reason for mentioning this is I have been remiss in announcing the Upcoming Shows. But starting RIGHT NOW, I will announce them. I'm very sorry for the delay. That all being said....WATCH OUT PORTLAND...we are on our way there this coming weekend. Be sure and stop by and see some of the new project, up close and in person. They are great on line, but seeing them in real life is amazing. Also, we have the NEW Inspiration Carry Bags and all entire line of Rhinestone products. I will be happy to demo how the rhinestones work for those wanting to see that in real life as well. We will also have the Pro 2010 Inspiration Software with us. Be sure you have your Craft Room Membership up to date, and you can receive your 15% off at the show. I'm looking so forward to seeing every one, be sure and join us. For more information Click Here

Brace Face

We can do all kinds of things with our Pazzles Creative Cutter including vinyl, airbrush stencils, boxes, bags, clothing, and rhinestones just to name a few. However that doesn't change the fact that at heart, we are mostly scrapbookers. That is why I just love seeing a great idea for a scrapbook page.

Air Brush Stencils

There are so many things that you can do with your Inspiration that people are coming up with new ways all the time. Here at Pazzles we get phone calls from people using or planning to use their Inspiration for all sorts of different projects. We love hearing and seeing all of your ideas. I love this idea by Craft Room member anamoreno. She created airbrush stencils on her Pazzles Inspiration for her sons little league baseball team.

Gift Bags

I love giving gifts but I am also on a tight budget. I really don't like having to spend an extra $5.00 or more just for the gift bag. I even try to recycle gift bags but that can be tricky to do without having them look a little over-loved before getting to the recipient. I hope I am not alone in this little quirk! That is why I love these gift bags by craft room member Dreamgal

Sweet Little Lady

I found resisting this adorable little bug was simply impossible for this week's Fabulous Find. Melin created the lady bug in the software, filled it with her color choices, and then print and cut her out. I love that we have the ability to do this in our software and I am so inspired by Melin's project that I think I will be using this technique on a project of my own today.

The Princess

I have a hard time thinking of very many little girls who would not be absolutely ecstatic to hang this sign on their door. Craft Room member Kimd made this beautiful sign for her neighbor. I love how girly this sign and how perfect it is for any girl's room, even mine! Hey, none of us are too old to be a princess in my book!

Pink Dolphins

I think sometimes there are just so many things that we can do with our Inspirations that we often can simply focus on one aspect, like cutting paper, and be completely content. But there are so many more things that we can do with drawing, vinyl, fabric, stencils, engraving and more. That's why I love this project by Craft Room member, createwithkelly.

Brave Heart

I think that sometimes it can be difficult to create a beautiful page that is still all about the pictures and not just about all the wonderful decorations we have added. I have seen many beautiful pages that tend to pull me in to the decor on the page rather than the picture they are suppose to be enhancing. So I really appreciate it when I come across a page that has successfully tread that fine line between enhancing the photos and overtaking them.
