This collection was designed with your far away friends in mind. All of these cards feature cool cuts that make these standout cards, but they are perfect for sticking in the mail because they are practically flat. 10 cards total!
When the weather turns this cold, you need something to warm you up, and nothing does that better than hot cocoa in your cup!!
Join in on the fun and creative Gifts and Recipes in a Jar. These are such quick and easy ways to put together a gift for a neighbor, friend or co-worker. There are three different concept types here for your creativity.
A desk organizer you can create as a gift or for yourself to make your desk space just a little bit prettier!
When Samantha shared this concept of a project to me, I was immediately excited to turn it into a project that would be a great gift. This is what Samantha said for her inspiration, "Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year! From sledding down giant hills to sitting around the Christmas tree and drinking hot cocoa, there is nothing really that isn't magical about this glorious time of the year. By creating a miniature living room with letters to Santa and even a fireplace, I feel like this would be a fun and unique way to create a gift." Well, she was right, with a place for money and a gift card all in a self contained box that turns into it's own special scene, you can create that magical feeling with this very special gift.
As the Christmas season rolls around each year, my family looks forward to our tradition of watching as many Christmas movies as we can. My favorites are the classic stop motion movies that were on television when I was a kid, like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I loved to think that every scene was created in miniature and filmed one step at a time. These little snow globes remind me of those miniature scenes and I hope you will enjoy them. The file features several different options so you can mix and match your snow globe to your liking. You can cut them all from white for a monochromatic look or cut each layer in color. I used glass bowls I found at Dollar Tree store. They have a 3.5" opening and 3.5" flat bottom. If you can't find the exact bowl, substitute with a bigger size and adjust the files.
As most of you know, each year the incredible staff at Pazzles spend the holiday season bringing you the creative and adorable projects that you desperately need during this exciting season of fun and memories! This year, the design team at Pazzles have chosen to do something different but equally creative! Without further ado, we would like to introduce the Twelve Gifts of Christmas collection!
December 1 starts the Christmas countdown, so be ready with an adorable advent calendar. These countdowns are part of building Christmas magic in my family and I'm excited to pass that along to you and your family. We've done different things throughout the years, but in general the advent contains a Christmas scripture and a very small treat.
Every year, I LOVE to plan fun and simple parties for all of my friends for the holidays. Whether it be a Christmas party or a Thanksgiving feast, we definitely know how to have a good time on a tight budget! That's why this year, I chose to do something super fun and simple that none of us would be able to forget! After all, who doesn't love a cute photo booth to capture those awesome memories you never want to forget?
One thing I love about this Design Team position with Pazzles is that I get to try new things. You see, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, so creating a project for that was great fun for me. As some of you will know, I love to host a dinner party or two and that is an excuse to make things for the table! This cutlery pocket was an excellent opportunity to try out something new for my dinner tables! Creating great table décor is at your fingertips with the amazing craft room files available.
You don't have to look very far to see the obvious signals that we are well into the holiday season. Halloween is almost here and before you know it, we will be roasting our turkeys and putting up the Christmas tree. 'Tis the season for crafting and if you are like me, you are already thinking about whether you will make your cards or buy them this year. Allow me to help you get the card making process started. This months project pattern is a fun tri-fold card that can be used for the upcoming holidays and on into the new year.
I hope introducing a Christmas cutting collection in mid October doesn't send everyone into a panic. There are still plenty of days until Christmas and although the store shelves have been packed with Christmas stuff for several weeks, you've still got lots of time! The reason behind my madness is to give you time to do a little pre-Christmas Christmas crafting. You know, so you can enjoy it, instead of burning the midnight oil on Christmas Eve and giving yourself a stern talking to about being a gift buying procrastinator. The Christmas Cheer Cutting Collection is ten different vinyl wall art sayings that are perfect for creating Christmas vinyl sign decorations.
It feels so strange to be adding frosting/snow capped roofs to projects in the July heat, but I have to admit it has been fun. It's got me dreaming of sweater weather and snow days while the sun beats down outside. This gingerbread mini album can become a yearly tradition for your family or the start of a new tradition for whoever you gift it to. Pick one holiday memory and document it year after year in this album. Maybe it's your annual gingerbread baking, or the neighborhood cookie swap. It would be so cute to include a picture of the kids with Santa every year so you can see how much they have changed. Whatever you decide to document, this album can be pulled out and enjoyed year after year.
When the holidays roll around I start dreaming of all the good food coming my way. The women in my family all have their special recipes that they make holiday after holiday. I look forward to each and every one and I thought it would be a great gift to gather all of those recipes and make an album. I'll make one for every family in our extended family and my hope is they'll be passed on to the next generation. That way my grandkids won't miss out on my sister-in-laws pumpkin bread or my aunt's butter rolls.
I love sending treats to my Grandkids and using my InVue software makes it so easy to send personalized treats. First I started with a basic rectangle as wide as my sandwich baggie. I knew it was going to be a topper so I doubled the size so I could fold it over. Then, using the Spring Borders Set 2 file I choose the border I liked and sized it to fit my project.
Leave the Christmas cleanup until tomorrow and spend today documenting the season's festivities. Print out your pictures and use today's Cut and Paste Sketch to get your memories quickly captured. If you whip up a layout with this sketch and still want more, check out the Christmas Memories Layout Collection.
We decided to do the Friday project on Monday this week because we had one more fun Christmas idea and we know you will be spending Friday with your family enjoying your new gifts. Gift cards sometimes get a bad rap for being a lazy person's gift choice, but I happen to love gift cards. It's the gift that is two gifts in one. You are thankful when you receive it and you are thankful when you spend it. If you've picked out gift cards for a few people on your list, make the giving of the gift card extra special this year with a pop-up gift card holder. We've got two versions for you to choose from, a santa stuck in a chimney and a Christmas tree surrounded with presents. These fold flat for mailing or delivery, but pop-up and stand on their own once they are opened. Note: Make sure and measure your gift card before cutting the slits to hold the card, so you can make any necessary adjustments.
Brrrr! Its cold outside and winter is in full swing. Soon all the holidays will be over, the Christmas décor will come down and we will be writing 2015 on our checks before we know it! I like to keep my house festive and fun during the winter months as they are usually the months we spend the most time inside. I created these little deer tea lights to add a little sparkle to my kitchen table winter scene. They are very simple to assemble and are a fun addition to my table.
Hi, Joanna here, sharing my Gingerbread Christmas Gift Bags created using my Pazzles Inspiration. I just love making presents for my friends, and using files from the Pazzles Craft Room makes it so easy to make them unique. I created these 2 different sized bags using the Cereal Box found in the Pazzles Library. I have altered it slightly, using my software. Gift Bag 1, I made tall and Gift Bag 2, much shorter, but I love both sizes. I cut the bags out of good quality double sided patterned paper which gave a good weight to the bag. I added a folded flap to the tops of the bags in red cardstock, using one of the files included in the Lunch Sack Gift Bags Collection, and resized them to fit the two sizes of bags. I inked around the scallop edges which gave the look of snow on the roof of a gingerbread house!
Joanna here with a quick Print and Cut project for you to make your own Christmas sticker labels. I decided to make several sheets of stickers to add as decoration to my brown paper wrapping using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue. I have used several of Miss Kate Cuttables files which I imported into my software. On the larger present, to the front left of the photo I used the Be Merry Title. You just need to spend a few moments layering up the elements. I constantly referred to the image in the Pazzles Craft Room, to help align everything up correctly. I also used a selection of the Christmas Tags in the Pazzles Library and followed the same process. I removed the ribbon holes on some of the designs as they were not required for stickers. Once the title and tags were looking how I wanted, I made an outline of the outer cutting line. As I was putting my stickers onto brown wrapping paper, I thought a white outline would make the stickers stand out on my presents.
If the weather outside is frightful, stay inside and capture a winter scene with a snow globe card. This collection features eight different winter scenes in a cute tri-fold shaped card plus sentiments you can mix and match for the perfect card.
Christmas is right around the corner. If you haven't started shopping yet, you have less than two weeks to get everything done! Since Santa delivers the gifts, help make things a little easier for him and create these cute holiday gift tags. He'll be thankful to see them by his plate of cookies so he can label the gifts while he snacks. That way he won't get confused and leave you the neighbors' lump of coal, and leave your new Inspiration Vue™ under their Christmas tree! This project is simple to make. You can fit a total of eighteen tags on one sheet of cardstock. It even makes a great party exchange gift.
I am excited to present to you this Jolly Santa Ornament. He went together quite quickly using the Tall Pyramid Box file. I used two files from the Pazzles Craft Room Library to make the white hat trim: Large Circle Scallops and Scallop Tag. With the InVue software, I layered the oval in front of the circle. Then I used Subtract Weld for the final look (deleting any extra pieces). You can use the same scallop for the ball on the pointed top of the hat. Santa’s moustache came from the Six Moustaches file.
Christmas is here! I am so excited! It is the craftiest time of the year! So what better way to get started than to make ornaments for the tree! I made these three jolly ornaments using the Round Box file as the base. I love them because in addition to being an ornament they are a gift box too! You can hide small treasures in them like cash, lip balm, small toys, a key to a car…hint hint, etc. Hang them on your tree and surprise a family member with the prize inside.
