I have a hard time thinking of very many little girls who would not be absolutely ecstatic to hang this sign on their door. Craft Room member Kimd made this beautiful sign for her neighbor. I love how girly this sign and how perfect it is for any girl's room, even mine! Hey, none of us are too old to be a princess in my book!
Have you ever been cutting a project and noticed that one moment the cuts are fine and the next you’ll see light feathering around the edges? It’s amazing how quickly a blade can go bad. There are a few other tale-tale signs that your blade will need to be changed.

Piercing has been a decorative accent for a very long time. Think of punched tin pie safes and lanterns from days gone by. More recently, we have fallen in love with stitching through punched holes to make fun accents on our cards and pages. One particularly elegant look that has been a favorite in Europe is the art of piercing many tiny holes into vellum for a lacey look.
Yes it is that time of year again. A time when the aisles are filled with pink and red, teddy bears abound, and the conundrum of large boxes of sweets and tiny nighties can be found everywhere. All of this can only mean one thing, Valentine's Day is upon us! Of course we all know that Valentine's Day isn't JUST for couples, it is for anyone you love! So here is a beautiful heart box that would be perfect for anyone you want to show that you love this Valentine's Day. This box will make the perfect case for any gift you want to give!
Valentine's Day is this coming Monday and if you walk in to the stores you will see massive displays of pinks and reds everywhere right now. I doubt however that you will see anything quite as beautiful as these treat boxes made by Craft Room member, tarabrown. There are so many wonderful things about these boxes I am not sure where to start. First of all these boxes are absolutely beautiful. Secondly I love how tarabrown took advantage of so many Craft Room features for her project.
When we were creating the Inspiration we wanted it to be both easy to use while still being versatile enough to meet all your needs. Two very important factors when it comes to your Inspiration. Choosing your blade length and pressure is just one of the many ways we try to provide you both ease and versatility.
Have you ever had a project that seemed to cut by bouncing from one spot to another on the mat? First it cuts in the top right corner, bounces down to another corner, then back up to the middle and keeps moving back and forth. This is a very inefficient way to cut because it wastes time and energy.
This football paper chain is incredibly easy to make and is just the right amount of clever decorating that won't be too girly. Putting this project together will only take a matter of minutes and it can be used to dress up your serving table or living room.
I think sometimes there are just so many things that we can do with our Inspirations that we often can simply focus on one aspect, like cutting paper, and be completely content. But there are so many more things that we can do with drawing, vinyl, fabric, stencils, engraving and more. That's why I love this project by Craft Room member, createwithkelly.
I have several vices (lipgloss, sunglasses, and chocolate among them) but we do not have time to cover ALL of them. So the addiction I am confessing to at this moment is to flourishes! I can't help it, I love them! I love how a single flourish can completely transform my projects in to elegant pieces of art. I never have enough flourishes either and I am always on the hunt for more. So as I was contemplating what to do for this tutorial and thinking about the kind of things that make me really excited about creating new projects, flourishes came to mind. I set out on a mission to perfect the art of making flourishes.
We hope that you’re enjoying the Image Library and the wide variety of cutting files that you’ll find there. We spend a lot of time creating unique, stylized images that we hope not only make creating projects easier, but get your creative juices flowing for upcoming projects too. The Craftroom is a great place to be inspired. I love seeing the projects that are put up…well maybe I don’t because it always seems I’m running to the craft store to buy more materials to make those projects!! My friends always tell me how creative I am, little do they know it’s the Craftroom and all of you that make me so creative! Those wonderful projects I’m creating and ideas I get are all because of you!
We are starting a new and fun feature here at Pazzles. We are going to be having a challenge every month. Join us and look at what you can win and learn. This is how it will work. On the First day of EACH month, I will post a challenge for you to do, using your Pazzles cutter and software. Then, you will post a photo by the 15th of the month (we have added a SPECIAL Challenge category in the Community, under Pazzle Albums) of your project using the challenge. That's it, it really is that easy to participate. Then about the 20th, we will announce the winner and their prize choice. Did you look at those AWESOME choices?

I think that sometimes it can be difficult to create a beautiful page that is still all about the pictures and not just about all the wonderful decorations we have added. I have seen many beautiful pages that tend to pull me in to the decor on the page rather than the picture they are suppose to be enhancing. So I really appreciate it when I come across a page that has successfully tread that fine line between enhancing the photos and overtaking them.
Many of you may be looking to purchase a new computer in the near future. It’s important to note which updates are required from our website after purchasing a new operating system and installing the Inspiration studio software.
