Hat off to You - Graduation Cap shaped card from LD

Super quick shaped card following the release of  the NEW Hats off to You, Cut It set, Cut It project, alphabet, paper pack and graphics sets at Lettering Delights. 

For this shaped card I have used the Cut It set using my  Pazzles Inspiration.  I cut it out of plain cardstcock and embossed the black layers using my Cuttlebug folder.

This is a super quick card and could be used as an actual card, party invites on place setting names for graduation parties.  

So, if you have an impending Graduation coming up, these sets are for you!

I really tweet you

This is a really quick post tonight, as I am exhausted being a taxi service to my children!  However, I just managed a bit of time to cut out this cute LD Angled Box and Bird from the LD Serendipity set of Cut It Projects at Lettering Delights, when I returned from work this afternoon!

I cut the box and bird using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

This bird is sooooo cute, and I just had to add the hearts using one of my kids craft punches.

 I printed the sentiment using a font already installed in my software and then typed out the LD Welcome to the Jungle - Alphabet, printed it out on my home computer and used my tag punch.

I did make one alteration to the file, as I don't like how the Pazzles Inspiration cuts the fold lines.  So I tend to draw my own Kiss Cut lines (perforations) in one colour and delete the original lines....just my preference.

Please browse my past posts for projects using this bundle.

Pretty Pennants

From time to time, I see a cutting file and would just love to have the time to cut, but then think to myself, I can do that when time allows.  So, sometimes I just like to design a card using a cutting file and print it out....quick and simple.

I have used This Mum's For You Pennants from Lettering Delights which come in ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg cuttable file formats.

For the 2 cards, I have used the svg format.  I drew myself a rectangle, then selected arc from path to draw myself the string for the pennants.  Once I imported the svg pennant into my software, I resized them, and slightly rotated the pennant to fit along the string. 

I then, typed my sentiment and used the colour picker tool to match the colour of the font from the pennants. I printed the design out on my home printer and used my guillotine to trim around the rectangle design. I cut our my base card and cut a smaller layer out of pink the card.  Each card was made in different colour ways matching the colour of the font 'Grateful' and 'Just a note' to my card base.

It would be quite simple to make a batch of these as a gift.

NEW Welcome to the Jungle Friends Collection

 Just sharing a quick card that I printed using the 

FREE Welcome to the Jungle Friends available till Sunday, 19th, midnight MST.

If you miss out on the FREEBIE you could take a look at the NEW collection or purchase the files separately HERE.

For this little card, I simply imported the graphics file into my Pazzles Inspiration software, but you could equally use the svg file too.  The graphic file tends to give a bit more detail and on this occasion I just wanted to print it out for speed.

I then drew a rectangle around the image to the size I wanted it to fit on the card.  I printed it out on my printer and just used by guillotine to cut around the straight edges.

I designed the base of my card in my Pazzles software using rounded corners and cut out my base card.

I drew myself a simple banner in my software, typed out my sentiment using the alphabet from the collection, then print and cut it out using my scissors.

A very quick card, because my 9 year old son was anxiously waiting to go off to play in a football tournament this afternoon which I knew was going to last for several hours!!!

Tagged Sentiment for Mum

 

Just sharing another of the Tagged Sentiments included in the LD Great Gift Giving Bundle.  I love these as they make lovely quick tags with sentiments to suit lots of occasions.

I decided to make the tag a bit prettier, by using some flowers from the Dimensional Flowers set also included in the bundle. 

I have cut out the tag and flowers using my Pazzles Inspiration Creative Cutter.

Dad Tag Sentiment - Shaped Card

Just sharing a quick card that I made from Tagged Sentiments included in the LD Great Gift Giving Bundle using my Pazzles Inspiration software. This card makes me smile, because when I first met my husband he had a moustache!  One evening, 10 years later he decided to shave it off without telling anyone!  It took my 3 children and I, a couple of days to work out what was different about him.  My youngest piped up at tea time "Dad your moustache has gone". We all burst into laughter, hence the saying......."Love is blind"

Anyway here is a simple tutorial for those of you just learning about your software.

I imported the svg tagged sentiment into my software and removed the fill.  

I then selected Inline/Outline on my left side bar using the Pazzles Studio Pro software.  This opened up the transformation menu.  I selected an thickness of 0.15 and checked Inline (see red line).

I also deleted the hole at the top of the tag.

I then selected the Move Point Tool and Scissors (Cut Straight Line). I drew a straight line, holding my shift key to cut across the tag just above the DAD lettering.

I then moved the Inline part of the tag across to a clear space on my visual mat which gave me the layer for my patterned paper on my tag.

Now to make the base of my Tagged card.......I took my original tag, selected C on my keyboard, Mirror, According to (top/middle coordinate, duplicate, and apply. 

I then moved the top tag down slightly using my down arrow key on my keyboard to overlap the other tag.  Then I selected Weld.  

You should hopefully have your Tag Sentiment shaped card!

I cut out a moustache from another LD set and adhered it to the front of my card using craft foam pads.  I just couldn't resist adding a punched heart!

I thought this would be a quick simple card for Father's Day.
