We thought it would be a great idea to make April Fool's Cards as one of our projects. When we went looking around for inspiration though we were surprised at how little there is out there! What we could find was usually tasteless and/or unkind. Perhaps April Fool's day isn't exactly the kind of day most NICE people think to make a card, but we were determined that it could be done!
Every month I write an article for a web based magazine called Scrapbooking.com. I feature the Pazzles Inspiration and show a project that highlights one of the many amazing tools in the software. I always have the instructions to make the project included but only Craft Room members get the video tutorial and cutting files.

Every month I write an article for a web based magazine called Scrapbooking.com. I feature the Pazzles Inspiration and show a project that highlights one of the many amazing tools in the software. I always have the instructions to make the project included but only Craft Room members get the video tutorial and cutting files. The project was inspired by a wedding invitation I helped a friend create. I loved it so much that I made a total of 5 cards for the video. This is one of those truly versatile cards that can work for almost any occasion.
I love ruffles and pleats. They can soften a project that is too stark and add class to something that is too simple. Usually, I use fabric ruffled ribbons to add to my projects. But pretty as the ruffled and pleated fabric trims are, they can be a costly addition to my design. Recently I decided to try my hand at making my own ruffled and pleated ribbon out of paper.
Many of you have seen this card (okay, not this exact card, but one like it) in the booth during the 2011 conventions. I had told you that I would put it up as a project sometime and guess what? It's sometime. *smile*
As a kid my favorite time of year was Valentine’s Day. I loved decorating the empty cereal box mailboxes that we would display at the front of the classroom and fill with candy and cards. I guess I always admired the fact that even the boys in class didn’t seem to mind that everything was decorated in an array of pink, red and white papers with matching hearts too! I’m still a sucker for this color combination which still makes Valentine’s Day a favorite for me.
Have you caught the love bug yet? This easy and cute little lady bug uses the pen tool to write a fun hidden message "Be My Love Bug". You can make 10 of these little lady bugs out of just 3 sheets of paper too! We hope you enjoy this fun project and make sure to check back tomorrow as we continue our series of quick and easy valentines!
My first Valentine was a Garfield heart balloon and a paper bag filled with conversation hearts - a gift given to me by my 5th grade admirer on the bus ride home from school when I was in 3rd grade.
I only have eyes for...this little monster! Isn't he cute? Originally I had planned to use a large google eye for his eyeball but just didn't have the right size I needed. However, I still think he looks adorable. This is a clever and very easy valentine, I even designed the monster so he actually is only 4 pieces - very easy to assemble!
Have you seen the New Images added to our Image Library on Friday? The latest group included three cards. The Hello Card just begged to be recreated. It was so simple and yet it had so much potential! I could envision several different ways to interpret it.
It's never too early to start planning a special something for your Valentine. At Pazzles, we are ready to get the ball rolling on Valentine's Day projects so you will have plenty of time to get prepared for the sweetest of all holidays. Today we are sharing this tag card that can be made simply or embellished into something amazing.
I love the excitement around Valentine’s Day, especially in a classroom full of kids. They’re not only eager to give out their Valentine’s cards and candy, but receiving is equally as enjoyable. Those were great memories as a kid, but the best part is that those cherished memories never have to end just because we’re all grown up. This makes a great gift for coworkers at the office who could use a little loving friendship too. Personalize your washer necklace with the perfect sentiment for friends you hold near and dear.
Got boys? This little robot Valentine is sure to please the little boys in your life. Whether they are receiving or giving it to their classmates and friends, they will be proud and excited to share this fun Valentine. It is so quick and easy to put together it is sure to delight Moms too.
" src="https://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/DIY-Classroom-Valentines-Scary-Monster-Finger-Puppet.jpg" alt="DIY Classroom Valentines Scary Monster Finger Puppet" width="640" height="616" /> The pink, frilly cuteness of Valentine's Day doesn't always make it easy to come up with boy-friendly ideas. Yesterday Klo shared her robot, and today we have another Valentine perfectly suited for the little boys in your life. This nice little monster comes with three separate "monster" sentiments which can be attached to the Valentine. The recipient can take off the sentiment and play with the monster finger puppet.
This sweet little Owl Valentine is an absolute hoot to make! He is easy to assemble so your little 'owlets' can help put the Valentines together. Perch this cute little guy on a pencil or Pixy Stix as a fun treat. He can be made for boys or girls just by changing the paper colors and background. I have included three different owl-related phrases but you can have fun with the kids by creating your own 'owl-y' sayings
Today's project is perfect for boys or girls and is so simple, the kids can help assemble them. I used Pixy Stix as my fuse, but a pencil or individually-wrapped licorice stick would work well also. Use a Glue-Dot on the back of the bomb to hold the candy in place.
I'm a sucker for vintage valentine cards with their clever puns and adorable little characters. When I was designing this collection, I added the same funny puns to the cards in hopes that you will get a kick out of them. The base of these cards are slider cards. When you pull on the top sentiment piece, the bottom piece slides out as well. I've included full color instruction below, so you can create a whole set of these to give away.
Pick a special person to be your Valentine and create this little belly band card to wrap your sentiments of love in.
As a mother of young children I always appreciate a valentine that doesn't include sugar. Inevitably the valentine sacks come home packed to the brim with candy. After they have made themselves sick on chocolate and conversation hearts, they actually sit down and read the messages from their friends. I thought this tic tac toe game would be a great valentine activity to extend the fun just a bit longer. Put a personalized note inside with the Xs and Os and tuck the heart shaped tab closure into place on the back.
