Be Mine Valentine Collection
Tatum the party queen has struck again! She's created the cutest Valentine's Day decorations and little tokens of love to help you celebrate with your special someone. The Be Mine Valentine Collection features eight different projects that are easy to assemble and ready for your personal touch. My favorite from this collection is the wings. Tatum used a gold pen and the Pazzles Pen Tool to draw the feathers and then cut them out. The cutting file includes an additional cutting line so you can back them with chipboard for sturdiness, or add a vellum layer for softness. I'm already planning the projects I'll make with them.

Welcome 2014 Party Hat
Happy New Year to all my fellow Pazzler’s. It has been a challenging year for me, as I have been a Pazzles Design Team Member for the best part of the 2013. I have learnt so much about being part of a Design Team, but more importantly I have learnt so much more about my Pazzles Inspiration and capability of the software. It has been an enjoyable creative journey and I hope those of you that have received a new Pazzles Inspiration Creative Cutter from Santa, will share your creative journey with fellow Pazzler’s here in the Pazzles Craft Room.
New Years Party Collection
Tatum has designed yet another adorable collection and as soon as I saw it I knew just what I would make with it. The New Years Party Collection has everything you need to ring in the New Year and then record the memories. I have small children and this year my niece will be joining us for the night. I've created party bags for every hour, that the kids can open and then complete the activity. I used the images from the New Years Party Collection to decorate my bags and then added numbers to represent the time the bag should be opened. I think my kids will love this and as an added bonus, maybe the "How much longer?" questions will be fewer. You can fill your bags with whatever activities you'd like to suit the ages of children (or adults) you are entertaining.
New Years DIY Party Blowers
Another fresh year is right around the corner. What is your resolution for the coming new year? Bring in the new year with your guests using these cute party blowers and fun straws covered in washi tape. The countdown starts now, so be ready and have your favors assembled and ready to go.

Winter Paper Lanterns
An unfortunate side effect of having an amazing Craft Room stuffed with project tutorials and cutting files is that sometimes it is hard to think of something new to make for a project. I was playing around with making a dimensional bird cage that wasn't looking quite right when I suddenly realized it looked more like a lantern. I added some snow and holly and they finally looked just right. These winter paper lanterns are a happy accident that I would love to share with you.
Thanksgiving Kids Craft: Headbands
Every family has their own Thanksgiving traditions. It begins around the table with generations of love, delicious recipes and the memories of times past. A tradition we had growing is up is that all the children in the family sat at the kids table. I loved that it was set exactly like the grownup's table, except a miniature version just for us.
Wine Bottle Wrapper
One of the many things that I enjoy about the Pazzles Inspiration is the amazing capability of the software. This wine gift wrap was actually formed by just joining six Skinny Tags together. Size the skinny tag to 9" height and then join six of them together with kiss cut lines between each one. This can be easily done by selecting the Move Point tool and using the Cut Path advanced function to separate out the left and right sides of the interior tags after you break group. The Craft Room video Construction Points is helpful to understand this process.
Folded Pumpkins Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. Creating these dimensional pumpkins for the fall season just seemed like the right thing. I chose colors that match my house so that I can have them out for everyone to enjoy.
Thanksgiving Turkey Place Cards
Super cute little Pilgrim turkey place cards with a rosette tail that you can make for your Thanksgiving table this year.
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Place Cards

Thanksgiving Table Collection: WPC, AI ...
Before you start making your holiday pies, use our recipe for an adorable paper pie. The Thanksgiving Table Cutting Collection features eight different place card ideas that will impress your Thanksgiving guests. Make a table full of turkey legs or a different place card for each guest. The Thanksgiving Table Collection also makes a great kids craft activity while dinner is being made. However you choose to use this sweet set, the miniature dimensionals may just upstage the turkey.
Halloween Eyeball Box
I got my eye on you! Are your Halloween treat boxes made yet? If not, this is a quick and easy treat box to make at the last minute. I only used two files to make it. The Round Box File and the Eyeball Card cutting file. I cut and assembled the round treat box as is. I enlarged the eye part of the eyeball card so the circle of the eyeball covered the top flap of the round box. Then I just glued the eye on the top of the box. Draw in the white reflection mark on the black circle part of the eyeball with a white gel pen.
Halloween Characters Treat Boxes
I’m always looking for some sort of treat box or gift to give out as party favors, or small gifts to my neighbors or the teachers and staff at my kid’s school. These treat boxes fit the bill perfectly! They were made using the Soda Can box file for the base, and the faces from the Witch, Frankenstein, Dracula, Lil Blue Monster, Mummy and the scar for Frankenstein from the Franky and Friends cutting file. All of these files can be found in the Craft room for reference.
Halloween Parade Cutting Collection
The Halloween Parade Cutting Collection takes you back to the days of homegrown pumpkins, real scarecrows and DIY witch and ghost costumes. It's a perfect mix of vintage and cute and it will add character and charm to your Halloween projects.
Halloween Costume Party Ribbons
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.
Halloween Toxic Treat Boxes
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.
