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.
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!
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"!
Add an eerie, yet elegant look to your Halloween decor' this year. This Eerie Victorian Wall Hanging will look great hanging anywhere in your home, even the formal dining room or living room. I cut out Pazzles Iron On using the gold and white from the solid pack. When I applied it to the Velvet Canvas from Canvas Corp, I found I needed to support it a little from the back, so I used a box behind it to help. I put the gold on first, then added the white. For more instructions on using the iron on, I recommend watching this Iron It On video.
Three easy to make vinyl signs for some truly spook-tacular Halloween decor!
Design Team Member Angie Contreras makes beautiful cakes! We asked her to use our Pastry Starter Kit and wow us with the Pazzles Inspiration's versatility. And wow us she did! I am thrilled to share with you her creation and I hope it will inspire you to try something new using a Pazzles Tool or Kit.
I love to give personalized or handmade gifts, but the time factor is always my downfall. I usually have good intentions but end up running around the store in a panic the night before an event looking for something I can give as a gift.
My daughter spends hours reading every day. A weekly trip to the public library is never enough for her. She burns through a stack of books in just a few days. I caught her laying on the couch with her books the other day and decided it was a perfect moment to document.
I fell in love with this sweet collection the first time I saw it. The details such as the hearts on the tires and the little pennant banners stole my heart. I know you will find 101 ways to use these transportation-related images. They are simple enough to use as a fabric applique but detailed enough to stand on their own as shaped cards or party décor.
I am constantly impressed by all of the things the Inspiration Creative Cutter can do. Since taking home my very own machine I have noticed a sharp decline in what I spend on paper crafting supplies. As a Pazzles owner, have you experienced the same effect? I often go to the craft store and come home with only patterned paper because as I am looking through the embellishments I realize I can make all of them with my Inspiration. And it doesn't stop there.
Adhesive may not come in pretty colors or patterns, but it is an important part of every project. It is, after all, the glue that holds a project together! We are so impressed by the huge variety of adhesives available from Therm-O-Web. They have thought of everything. I had the opportunity to play with and cut a few of their specialty adhesives recently and was thrilled with the outcome.
A project this unique deserves to be filled with delicious treats and shared with someone special. Take advantage of the summer sun and enjoy treating mom to a day in the park this Mother’s Day with a picnic filled with sweet treats and plenty of love to go along with it.
It's nearly the middle of the month which means it is time to get your April Challenge creations uploaded to the Craft Room Albums. Just a reminder that our April Challenge is all about doing something new to you.
I am often found browsing the shops looking for bargains that I can decorate for gifts. Recently I found these cheap glass jars and knew I could jazz them up and make them look pretty with vinyl!
Recently, DecoArt contacted me and asked if I would like some product to use in our Pazzles Cruise classes. Naturally, I said, "Yes, please!" I looked at their catalog and chose some product. It was really hard! There was so much to choose from. Then I waited in anticipation for the samples to arrive. I had asked for glass stains and fabric paint among other items. I had a vision of what I hoped to do but was not sure if it would work. Soon the box arrived and after I unpacked my goodies, I was itching to get going on a project.
I wanted to create gifts for a group of my closest friends. I knew that they would love something they could wear, and wanted my creation to fit each of their unique personalities. With that in mind, I created paper bracelets.
Today's Cutting Collection began with a suggestion from some of our customers. The Split Letter Monogram—Roman Style Cutting Collection is our elegant answer to your requests. This classic collection features each letter of the alphabet and is perfectly suited to vinyl and paper projects. We've used it here to create a trendy home décor project and a simple wedding invitation and thank you note set.
There are just a few days left until the New Year. Take a few moments to reflect on the ones you love, who have meant the most to you in 2012, and what kind of sentiments you can write down to let them know just how much you care. This is a great project that takes a simple photo frame (which I painted in a trendy green) and our chalkboard and wall vinyl to create the perfect message board.
A dollar store mug and some vinyl can be transformed into a unique and personalized gift. Fill these mugs with hot chocolate mix or homemade fudge and they would make great teacher or co-worker gifts.
Thanksgiving is still a week away, but today we put up our Christmas Tree at the Pazzles Office. It's the perfect kind of tree, no falling needles and no need to water it, because it's a vinyl wall tree! We are thrilled to introduce you to our Christmas Tree Advent Calendar. It may seem a little early for a Christmas Tree, but we wanted you to have plenty of time to get this project completed before December 1st. This advent calendar is the perfect project for a weekend of crafting.
Cutting out amazing images in any color, shape and size: isn't that the magic of the Pazzles Inspiration electronic cutter? I can cut paper shapes and combine layers, colors and textures to create a visual feast for the eyes. If you stop with the paper and glue you have a great project. However, if you want an amazing project you need to move beyond the paper. You can add depth and character by inking or chalking the paper to add shadow and highlights. Suddenly, like magic, the flat pieces of paper have curves and dimension.
This started off as a quick 15 minute project but in true Pazzles fashion, it turned out to be much more! We loved these pre-cut canvas shapes from Canvas Corp and knew just what to make with them. We started the project by creating candy corn pieces using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and a vinyl masking stencil cut with the Pazzles Inspiration.
Plastic spray stencils are everywhere. They come in basic shapes and trendy patterns, like chevrons and hexagons. And as cool and trendy as some of them are, I always put them back on the shelf, thinking, "why buy it, when I can cut it with my Pazzles Inspiration?" Time to put that idea to work!
