Project Pattern: Hello You Card

Project Patterns Two Ways

Hello Craft Room friends, Melin here with you today. My assignment was to choose one of the fun projects in the InVue Software and make a couple of projects with the same pattern. These projects are found in the local directory of your InVue Software and you get three free Project Patterns with the InVue software. There are layouts and card projects to choose from. I chose the Treasured Friendship card project. The project starts with a prescribed base. From there you can look in the modifiers folder and find sub folders to change up your backgrounds, sentiments and themed images. It really takes out a lot of the guess work for creating a project from scratch. For my first card I created, I chose to "flip" the base from a horizontal to vertical orientation. I then created a couple of quick layers for the mats.

WCMD: Picture Perfect Day Camera ...

This is a great card to send to a friend that you are just thinking about. Behind the fun lens, you can put a greeting or maybe a fun photo. To create this card, I used my Pen Tool to give the lens details and add a nice look across the bottom. After using the Pen Tool, I cut all of my pieces out. I then glued the vellum behind the viewer and the acetate for the lens on the back of the card, then I attached the single camera piece over them to give the inside a clean look.

WCMD: Pen Tool Outlined Letters

Fall crafting is the best kind of crafting. I love that it's perfectly fine to put pumpkins on every project. Today I wanted to share with you a pretty technique using my favorite tool; the Pen Tool. I'm pretty sure I would buy an Inspiration just for the Pen Tool. I love the way you can dress up your cut pieces and make cool accents.

60th Shutter Card

60th Birthday Shutter Card

August is such a crazy month for our family with birthdays what feels like every other day! It’s not just our immediate family, but many friends as well. It’s a busy, but happy month. I may be my own worst enemy, but for some reason I don’t often re-create the same card design. I like to do unique designs for each person. However, there was a card I made earlier this year that looked so striking I used it for my inspiration for this one. You can’t go wrong with the Fun Folds Card Collections – for this project I’ve selected the Shutter Card with the oval on the front face. I have omitted the oval and replaced it with the Vintage Frame file instead.

Thanks Center Step Card

Thank You Center Step Card

Melin here today. Sharing a pretty and very easy card with you. I started by using the Fun Fold Center Step card for the base. I cut it in some Red Bazzil cardstock. For the panels I used some Die Cuts With A View The Botanicals Stack. I then cut the middle frame from the Fancy Circle Frame file. I broke that file apart and then used the inside oval and made a couple layers. I inked the edges of the middle layer with some Olive Ink and then stamped my sentiment with my Olive Ink Pad. I added a few bitty sparkles and used some foam tape to give it a little dimension. For the flourishes, I used the Flourish Sticks file and just cut one piece of that file to make these flourishes. I then used the Flower Bunch file for the little flowers. Lastly I added some ribbon and some Gold gems to the centers of the flowers. Super quick and such nice results.

Pen Tool Cards

Boost Your Card Stash with ...

Melin here with you today. I'm sharing some quick, easy and cute cards with you. All you need is your Pen Tool, some pens and a few files from the Craft Room Library. I started by using the Flower Frame, Flower 4, Flower 5 and Journaling Butterfly single stroke files from the Craft Room. I edited the frame just a bit, combined the flower files and added the butterfly to the top right corner.

Halloween Tags

Halloween Treat Tags and Labels

As each day of September passes, it brings us closer to Halloween and my favorite spooky holiday celebrations. Today I've created some haunted Halloween treat tags and terrifying Halloween labels. Attach them to a bag of goodies and give them away to your favorite goblin or ghost. If you want to avoid the tricks, you have to be ready with the treats. This project includes four tags for paper piecing and four additional tags/labels for print and cut. The print and cut tags and labels were created with that process in mind, so they are not suitable for cutting out each piece. The Inspiration Vue makes it easy to cut them out, but you could also print them out and hand cut them.

A Gift Tag Set to ...

I was so inspired by the new Inspiration Vue Print and Cut that I knew I had to do a project for you using it. On your way to a party? Running out the door and stopping at a store to get a gift? This happens to me way too many times to count, and being a crafter people expect a little more from your gift wrapping. Most of the time there is just no time to do all that extra stuff. So how about we fancy up our store bought gift bags with a ready made tag? They are so easy to make in the software.

Celebrate Easel Card

Celebrate Your Day Easel Card

Easel cards are just so fun to create with it! For my card base I used a 6" x 6" base and scored at 3". To accent my card I used several cutting files from the Craft Room Library; Decorative Round Background, Layered Flower as well as a butterfly from the Inspiration Studio Pro 2014 image gallery. For the flowers I simply added dimensional dots to add dimension, a gem and a bit of stickles to the edges.

Triple Tag Easel Card

Easel Menu Table Centerpiece

When the Easel Card Collection was released I was super excited. These are some of my most favourite cards to create and the Triple Tag Easel Card file was perfect to use as a centrepiece for an upcoming friend's 60th Birthday High Tea. Once you’ve chosen your colour theme and cut out all your pieces this comes together really easily. I used the fit text to path function for the banner text and printed a partial Miss Kate Cuttables Pretty Swirls at each end of the banner. Some foam squares and a couple of Kaisercraft blooms with glittered (KindyGlitz) petals finished off the front section.

Distress Tool Birthday Card

My Design Team project for this week was to use a Pazzles Tool. I use the Pen Tool all the time, so I decided to use a tool I have had for years but haven't used much, the Distress Tool. Now my hubby's birthday is coming so I figured I’d make his card. I found the Birthday Title file in the Craft Room Library and thought that it would be perfect. The first thing I did was ungroup and move the candle and flame off to the side. I then made a rectangle the size I wanted the topper to be. Then using the engraving fill with S sweep, I filled in the rest of the file. I then resized the whole file, candle and all, to fit within the square topper. I find it much easier to fill the file before making it smaller to fit my card. For a little extra I added zig zag lines with the scissors tool to the top and bottom.

Mason Jar Printable Cards

New Inspiration Vue creative cutters are beginning to arrive all over the country! I'm so excited for you to try out the print and cut feature of your Inspiration Vue and fall in love with all that it can do. Today I've created a set of printable mason jar cards. Use the new print and cut feature to cut out the mason jars and attach them to the mason jar shaped card base. These mason jar printables can also be resized and used as tags or scrapbook layout embellishments. If this is your first print and cut project, please be sure to refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your machine. It will walk you through the steps of using your cutter. If you are using the original Inspiration you can cut the mason jars out by hand or watch our tutorial video, How To Use Print & Cut on the Original Inspiration.

Mason Jar Tag

Mason Jar Butterfly Tag

I love giving handmade gifts to my friends and I always think a handmade tag or card just makes the gift complete. For my Design Team project I decided to have a go at painting a jam jar, popular brand names are Mason or Kilner. They can be bought cheaply from Home Décor stores in the USA and here in the UK. I looked up a few tutorials on the internet, on how to decorate my glass jar to accompany my flowers and tag.

Baby Week: Onesie Shower Invitations

Hello fellow crafters, Joanna here today highlighting some Baby Shower printables using Print and Cut with your Pazzles. I thought I would share with you how versatile using the Print and Cut technique with your Pazzles can be to create even more creativity. You could of course paper piece some of the elements such as the onesie with your favorite papers. However, when sending out invitations in bulk it is easier and quicker to Print and Cut them. There is an excellent video tutorial How To Use Cutting Files for Print and Cut which will give you step by step instructions.

Daisy Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends, Melin here and today and I am sharing a fun card. I chose the DCWV Solstice paper stack for all the patterned papers along with white, cream and green Bazzil cardstock. I started by using my software to create my card's layout. I then used my software to cut out the Ladybug Flower file, the Ribbon Slot Borders and the Square Doilie file all from the Craft Room Library. I did edit the ribbon border to remove some of the extra dash lines and then threaded some ribbon through the ribbon border.

Cut And Paste Sketches: File ...

I've mentioned before my love of paper started with office supplies and I admit I still love them. The back to school section of Target makes me giddy. Today's card was inspired by office supplies. This little file folder tab card would look even better held together with a big paperclip. Have fun with this design!

Easel Card Base Cutting Collection

Easel Card Cutting Collection

I love the look of fancy cards with unique card bases and lots of paper layers. I like to call these little mini masterpieces super cards. It's a card you make for an extra special occasion or for an extra special recipient. I love to make super cards, but I don't like to figure out the dimensions and folds of each new pattern. The first set of card bases I created, Fun Folds Cutting Collection, has been very popular as well as the rest of the card base collections. That tells me that you ladies like to make super cards too, but don't always like to measure and score. I created this newest set mostly for myself, but I'm happy to share with you as well. After some designing and measuring I've come up with the Easel Cards Cutting Collection. There are 10 different options and lots of layers to mix and match.
