The front door on this box opens to reveal a hidden compartment and the two-side windows are also boxes so you can give your recipient a triple treat. I was thinking hot cocoa in the center, mini marshmallows in one window and candy canes in the other window box. I also think the front door box would make a wonderful treat box for a new homeowner!
This gingerbread man/woman box is just cute as can be. Though I’ve given you several choices in decorations, you can also make your own custom decorations. Maybe a heart instead of buttons. Let your children decorate the gingerbread man/woman topper how they like before gluing it onto the box top (think glitter…lots of glitter…lol) to give to a teacher or grandparent.
I am always looking for small gifts to give to friends, my kid’s teachers, neighbors etc. So I made three boxes that will let me give them treats in packaging that I know will be original. Over the weekend I will be sharing a new box with you every day, starting with today! Come back tomorrow and Sunday for my gingerbread man and front door boxes that I think you will love just as much!
This project was inspired by a light box board that I saw at local store. I thought I could make something similar to put Christmas sayings and images on using vinyl. It can be also used to count the days until Christmas with acrylic pieces, that would be more durable, for the count down numbers.
Gift cards are the gift of choice this year and rightfully so! The recipient gets joy from the gift twice; once when they open the gift card, and again when they spend it. This week's Gift Card Holders Cutting Collection is a set of 10 different gift card holder cut files that you can cut out and customize for whatever holiday or occasion you want.
A beautiful December page with a large, lacy snowflake, frilly 3D layered snowflakes, and lovely breezy swirl.
I LOVE the Fall and when September rolls around, I know that the crisp days, colorful leaves and just feeling of the Earth changing to get ready for Winter is here. I love this page, I love the colors and the general feel of it.
Softly-colored, dimensional butterflies and blossoms adorn this beautiful May page.
Clovers, dimensional flowers, and an elegant flourish decorate this March page that has frames for three photos.
February has the wonderfully iconic celebration of Valentine’s Day. So I decided to work with the pretty title created and run with the theme of hearts.
I tried to capture that feeling of fresh fallen snow at sunrise. I chose the colors that I associated with that feeling and pulled out the rhinestones to add the bling that gave it the sparkle and glimmer.
I hope you enjoy this Poinsettia Pillow Purse. This is so quick and easy to cut and assemble. It is the perfect gift box for smaller items that you may have trouble wrapping.
It is that time of year again. Time to create some one-of-a-kind special cards for those few special people. I used Pazzles Stencil Material and the files I created from the Poinsettia Stencil card file exclusively in the Pazzles Craft Room.
This holiday decoration is lightweight and could hang easily just about anywhere. I cut pieces from cardstock and […]

It’s almost Halloween and time for the treats to eat and give away! I confess that I’m not a Halloween fan, but I do enjoy the candy.
Isn’t this a cute little purse? I found this purse in the Pazzles Craft Room and thought it would be perfect for a 15-minute project. This little purse would be nice for party favors, money, or a gift card. As usual though, I’ll be filling mine with wrapped candy, especially the Cherry and Apple Jolly Ranchers I love to eat! There’s only two pieces for the purse. The sides of the purse are folded inward. All you have to do is fold along the scored lines and you’ll be finished with assembly in a jiffy.
I recently enjoyed being a student in the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 103. I had taken courses 101 and 102 previously, each time immensely enjoying the process and play involved, and learning about how to mix various products and colors so as to not “create mud,” but to create something wonderful. I find the process of creating to be most therapeutic, and my Pazzles Creative Cutter certainly brings me to the next level, combining a variety of techniques, tools and Pazzles Craft Room designs to create art to decorate my home. My Ocean Treasures piece was inspired by the latest mermaid design in the Pazzles Craft Room, created by Miss Kate. This cute mermaid caught my eye, however I wanted her sitting on a rock, so I needed to perform a little “surgery” in my InVue software. Using the scissors tools, I could swap the body of a seated mermaid with the head and arms of the one I preferred. I also found a wonderful assortment of rocks and ocean themed designs in the Pazzles Craft Room. Engraving round metal jewelry blanks with appropriate quotes seemed like a good solution for my vision of golden treasures, thanks to the Engraving On Sequins video in the Craft Room, I was able to do this with ease. To make the letters stand out, white picket fence distress crayon was smeared over the letters, the excess rubbed off with a finger. The smudged appearance gave the illusion of being made old by sand and water. The rocks, sand, mermaid and scalloped shell were cut from watercolor paper, using the Pen Tool with drawing pencil for the mermaid’s face. Various distress inks and texture paste colored with distress ink created the look of the rocks and sand. Watercolor pencils were used to color the hair and face of the mermaid, with ink blended in the background for the skin colors.
As school is starting, it is a great time to help our students get organized with book bags and notebooks. Creating custom decorations for them using our Pazzles cutters and Duct tape adds a special touch which is simple. I purchased a bag to decorate from Joann.com in the 13” wide size, perfect for holding music books. Walmart had binders on sale, so I picked up a black one. The Pazzles Craft Room has so many wonderful cutting designs that could be used to decorate these item with any theme. I decided to decorate mine with a simple keyboard design. I had white Duct tape on hand which made experimentation easy. The attached file worked well for cutting the keys from strips of Duct tape that is 1.9” wide.
Hello crafty friends, Melinda here with you today, and I have a super fun project to share with you. As I looked around my craft room, I spied some of that fun metal craft I had used on a previous project. I decided that I wanted to do something with it, but what? I headed over to Pinterest to see what would spark my creative juices. I was going through some pins….Like most crafty hearts….I can really get lost down the rabbit…err Pinterest hole! But then it hit…inspiration. I saw these wonderful little “pumpkins” made out of mason jar lids….HERE. I didn’t have the Mason jar lids, but I had my craft metal and my Pazzles!!! So I went to work designing the pattern for the embossing. I didn’t just want to cut the metal into strips. Once I finished designing the strips, I used the Pazzles Embossing Tool and embossed the pattern and then cut them out. I cut out a total of 8 strips. You can find the file for this project here: Pazzles Craft Room 3D Pumpkin File.
