Mini House Cupcake Carrier

If you have a friend in need of a little cheering up, you can take the cupcake shop right to them with this cupcake carrier. Take a peek inside this little cupcake shop and you'll find a rather sweet guest. I know he's sweet, because immediately after taking the photos, I ate him. One of the best things about being a paper crafter is that we are able to create so much joy with our projects. It makes us happy to make them and give them away, and it makes others so delighted to receive such special gifts.

InVue Software Update

Yesterday we released a small update to the InVue software. The next time you open your InVue software the update will be automatically applied. While many of these changes were small cosmetic enhancements and bug fixes, there are a few changes you may notice. Here is a list of the changes for this update: Endpoints Show on Open Paths: An open path is a line that does not connect. Sometimes while designing you may create an open path and want those points to join to form a shape. In this case you would use the join two points tool. This change shows the endpoints on an open path while in the join/connect two points tool so you can easily find the open path and join it. Alignment Options for Page Horizontal/Vertical: You will now find options in the alignment drop down box for Page Horizontal and Page Vertical. This centers your object in the horizontal or vertical center of the page.

Creating a Home Paperwork Station

Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy project to help get you organized. Our family command centre is coming together and my magazine rack from IKEA has just been mounted to the wall for all our documents that used to get dumped on the kitchen bench. The 4 x 6 Thursday to Sunday frames file is so quick to cut out and using a patterned paper for the centre piece as well as adding some paper flowers give them a lift. I printed straight onto the card stock for each ‘label’ instead of cutting the text out, and inked all edges of my cardstock with Copic markers.

Donut Cards Project Pattern

This is a cute project specifically created for dieting bakers. If that's you, you're welcome! Now you can "bake up a storm" and still stay on your diet. Make as many donut cards as you'd like and you won't gain a pound. After you've made a dozen different donuts, then tuck them into the donut box for safe keeping. As always, our Project Patterns make it easy to create projects in multiples with just a few clicks when opened in the InVue software. If you need a refresher on how to use these Project Patterns you can find more information here.

Antique Lock Mini Album Cutting Files

Treasured Memories Antique Lock Mini ...

We've spent the week talking about favorite things. Now it's your turn to make something pretty centered around your favorite things. This antique lock mini album can hold all of your favorite memories and will be a treasured keepsake. I love all things vintage and I tried to incorporate that look into this project. I used several layers of ink on my album cover to make the paper look antiqued. The Pazzles Pen Tool and the metallic papers I used also added a few extra details that make this album one of a kind. I'd love to fill this album with happy childhood memories and give it to my mom for her birthday. I can cut as many additional pages as I need if I'm feeling inspired to keep going.

Join the Pazzles Design Team this week as we share a few of our favorite things with you. Hello crafty friends, Melinda here with you today. Our theme this week is Favorite Things. We were to use and or incorporate some of our favorite things in our projects. So here is what I came up with. My favorite thing hands down is my Pazzles Inspiration Vue. This machine literally changed my crafting. I went from hand drawing and hand cutting my paper piecings to being able to create and cut some of the most intricate designs. Aside from the machine my second favorite thing is the software. The software allows you to design your layouts before you cut a thing. I love that it works so much like many of our other programs. I can even insert the pictures I am going to use in my layout.

A Garden Makeover

For many years I have been saying I wanted to create a nice backyard garden area that was fun and functional. As I have looked at magazines, online and just chatted with people, I realized I had the ability to not only have a nice garden, but with my Pazzles, some garage sale finds, spray paint and some vinyl, I was able to get a good start on my creation.

Just glue them together and embellish with flowers or gems. Your mom will be impressed with the beautiful card you put together ten minutes before the party.

Retiring Pazzles Design Team Members
