You've most likely seen these amazing Melissa Frances chipboard houses around the crafting world, and we are thrilled to announce that Melissa Frances and Pazzles have teamed up to make die lines for all of the Melissa Frances chipboard products. Use your Pazzles Creative Cutter for the tedious job of cutting out your patterned papers and save your time for the fun parts such as embellishing. These houses make a show stopping display for holidays or any day.
Fall is such a beautiful season, with leaves changing color and the crisp, cool air. I created my card with thoughts of my years growing up in the northern part of the country. When deciding how to make my card, I knew I wanted to work with the new Pazzles Pen Tool. I visited Klo’s recent classroom video on how to work with the new pen tool and watched one of the archived sessions. It got me off the ground and running in no time flat.
Scrapbook layout and card sketches are a great starting point for well designed, quick projects. Many sites offer sketch ideas, but they still involve measuring and hand cutting. I like to let my Inspiration do as much of the work as possible, so I often design my layouts and cards in the Inspiration Studio Software first and then cut them out.
I've mentioned before that I host a Halloween party for all of my extended family every year and costumes are requested but not required. I love to see what people come up with when choosing their attire for the night, and there have been many clever ideas over the years. At the end of the night I select a few people for the costume awards and I like to have a big ribbon to pin on their chest. This year I made my awards bigger and better with layers and layers of Doodlebug Designs papers and the Patriotic Ribbon file.
I'm a big fan of Halloween and while the cute versions of Halloween characters are fun to craft with, it's the eerie, spooky side of things that I love! Luckily my kids are finally old enough for the fake spiders and skeletons I've been dreaming of decorating with. I like my decorations spooky and creepy without going overboard or giving anyone a month of nightmares. These Halloween Toxic Treat Boxes will make the recipient think twice before gobbling up the goodies and are a quick enough project to make in multiples. Use the Halloween silhouette borders on scrapbook pages as well.
Our videos section is a valuable resource for Craft Room Members. From software and project tutorials, to paper crafting techniques, you will find something new to make and do with your Inspiration every time you visit.
I found this amazing cutting file on the Boxes and Bags CD. It is a great size for holding small gifts or photos. I enlarged the cutting file so that the size of the box ended up being 4” x 5 3/4”. I used the piercing feature in the software and the Piercing tool to pierce the stitching pattern for the word “Wish” on the side. This cutting file is a true treasure and one I'll be using many more times!
We wrapped up our Haunt Your House series last week and after four weeks of Halloween home décor it is hard to stop the creative wheels from turning. Pazzles Owner and Designer Holly put together one more project to share with you today, a hanging Halloween mobile. This mobile looks more time consuming than it is and it is easy to assemble. It makes a stunning statement hanging among your other Halloween decorations and is a great project for using up scraps of paper.
There's no tea party like a Mad Hatter's Tea Party! Impress your guests with this crazy fun collection and throw a party no one will ever forget.
Pazzles designer Tatum created the beautiful card you see above with the free camouflage heart file. You may use the free file for your card, but it is not a requirement. We've also added a beautiful military themed Proud To Serve Cutting Collection to the Pazzles store which you may purchase at 50% off today only.
We hope you enjoyed Christine's class and learned something new! It's time for another free file and coordinating challenge. Once you have your card making supplies spread out in front of you, do you ever feel like you don't know where to start? Sometimes you need a little direction to get you started. Sketches provide that perfect starting point and are one of the easiest ways for a beginner to get started. If sketches are great, then cuttable sketches are fabulous! All the work is done. As you've probably guessed, this hour's free file is a sketch and a variety of card sentiments. We asked the Pazzles Design Team to inspire you with their creations and as usual they've blown us away!
We hope you are feeling inspired to create. Here's another great idea for you to try! Sometimes two great things come together and it can change the world! Think peanut butter and jelly, Big Macs and special sauce, or Han Solo and Chewbacca. Today a new dynamic duo is born with the pairing of a Miss Kate Cuttables image and a brand new Fun Fold Card Base.

Hour two starts now! If you are a Craft Room member be sure and join us in the Member Chat area where we are getting to know one another and playing games! We get many requests for shaped cards in various forms and they are always a hit when new ones are released. We can't possibly create a shaped card from every shape in the Craft Room Library, but you can! Imagine the possibilities when you can turn any shape into a card. We have an excellent video in the Craft Room that shows the technique for doing so. We've unlocked this video so it is available for anyone to view : Making Shaped Cards. To get you started Pazzles Designer Michelle has made an acorn shaped card perfect for fall gift giving. It can also be made smaller and used as a place card for holiday meals.

I always have a lot of fun creating projects, but something about this one had me buzzing around the office chasing people with these super cute glittery, hairy legged spiders!! Don’t exterminate these bugs! Instead, lavish guests with spooky fun the moment they step up to the door. They’re bound to get caught up in your web of creativity when you host your spooky Halloween party get together. Let the smiles and maybe even a few frightful screams begin… when you have this spider wreath hanging ready to greet all who dare enter!
Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love to decorate for fall and I love the colors of fall. I was born in the fall, so this quick project was right up my alley. I took several files from the Craft Room Library and combined them to make this cute picture home decor piece for any room. I’m putting mine in the guestroom. The files I used were the Cowgirl Hat, Cowgirl Boots, Pumpkin and Autumn Harvest Wheat Bundle. I didn’t change any of the files except for the cowgirl hat, which I welded the two black pieces into one and added a slit for the pumpkin. I did omit the stem on the pumpkin, resized all the files to fit my 8' x 10' frame and added this adorable stamped face. I used two different fonts for the saying. I layered cardstock and patterned paper and then glued all the parts onto the top layer. Add it to an 8" x 10" frame and it's done.
I'll admit I tend to jump on the bandwagon pretty easily when it comes to trends. I've had a shaped photos phase, and an eyelet phase, and a chevron phase and now I've moved on to the chalkboard art trend. It began making an appearance in advertisements and on websites and has now made it's way into the scrapbooking world and home décor. Many of the latest released scrapbook collections have elements of this trend. My Mind's Eye Chalk Studio and Simple Stories December Documented come to mind. Die Cuts With A View has a Chalkboard Paper Stack and Canvas Corp sells sheets of Chalkstock.
Inspired by the fun paper collection Steam Punk Spells by Graphic 45 and the Authentique Enchanted Halloween Collection, I decided to decorate a shadow box tray with Halloween pictures and several cutting files. All the cutting files can be found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library. To decorate the top of my shadow box tray I used the Flourish Hardware file backed by chipboard and to accent the flourish I added some sequins for some sparkle. I cut out the Spooky cutting file to add on top of the spider web coaster.
Halloween decorations are popping up all over and party plans are in full swing. What words come to your mind when you think of Halloween? I think: black and orange, spider webs and bats, pumpkins and, of course, sweet treats! I thought it would be fun to combine my favorite Halloween themes into a spooky cupcake stand that will make your party treats look "spook-ta-cular"!
I love fall weather and all the beautiful colors. The colors of fall have inspired me to make some thank you cards.
We can all agree that a staple in almost any home is the infamous junk drawer. It's the place where we throw batteries, loose change, small light bulbs, buttons, tacks and rubber bands. I’m always intrigued by what I find floating around in mine. When I started to rummage around this morning I found two drawer pulls from a dresser and two old handles from the outside faucets and a ton of matching brass tacks. Paired together with this cute frame I had here at work I thought hey, I could make something really cute with these!
When the tooth fairy visits my house it is always a big deal! I love this latest collection designed by Tatum because it brings extra magic into the whole process. The Tooth Fairy Treasures Cutting Collection is full of treasures and trinkets to help you celebrate. Whether you make up the floss box and the tooth brush holder in preparation of the big day, or leave behind the tooth fairy invoice and a tooth fairy gold coin on the big night, this collection will be a hit!
