NEW LD Bug-eyed collection and FREEBIE

Oh my goodness, I can hardly contain myself with excitement, have you seen the
NEW LD Bug Eyed collection? Check it out, it is so adorable for your Easter projects.

 Look what I found buzzing around my flowers!!!!  Yes, it's one of the LD Bug-eyed - Bug Masks which are FREE till March, 20th, midnight MST, when it will then revert to original price.

You may well be thinking that looking at the above photo it doesn't look like a mask.  Well, I created the mask and then my children (almost teenagers), were unwilling to put the mask on for me to photograph!!!

So, I decided to alter the file ever so slightly.  I omitted the holes on the side for the mask and added vellum at the back where the eyes would peep through.  It was one of those "light bulb moments".  I was not going to be beaten by the kids on this one.  I added a piece of wire to hold my bee and stuck it in my flower pot.  I love it!

So, if you have little people in your family, that want some fun playing with masks there are 3 options in the set.  If you are more grown up.......think out of the box and adapt the file as you wish.

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - #77 Animals

Time again for another challenge at the..........

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - #77 Animals

  I saw this cute bee cutting file and thought it just perfect for a quick project using my

Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.. It is just the perfect size to hold my mini tubes full of black and yellow jelly beans.

I have used the LD Squawk Box (CP) for the box and the LD Squawk Box (CS) for the bee.  There are lots of available options in the sets and the collection so it is worth checking it out.

When you check the links for the Cut Set (CS) you will see a main image.  To see the files included in the set you need to select 'additional images' and scroll through the images

I have used vinyl for the facial features as it gives a much softer look than card stock.

When I filled my SRM mini tubes, I wrapped some black gingham paper around the rim and the top of the lids to coordinate with the cute bee.

So hopefully you can join and link up your entry to the ......

Bee Mine - Valentine Matchbox Candy Holder

I am just finding LD's Nancys Valentines Day - Graphic Set so irresistible!  I decided to print the Bee Mine graphic onto the sleeve of my matchbox.

I simply imported my LD image and resized it onto the wrapper of my matchbox, using my Pazzles InVue software.  The matchbox cutting file is available in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.  Once arranged onto the sleeve of my matchbox, I Print and Cut using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine which has an optical eye and  reads the registration mark to ensure accurate cuts.

Cute don't you think?

I then printed a paper design from LD Betty the Yeti - Paper Pack onto the base of my matchbox, which coordinated with the image on the top of the box.

I was so pleased at how this one turned out and it was quick to assemble, just perfect for an inexpensive Valentine gift.

NOTE : If you buy Nuts about Nancy Bundle you can get the bundle for $10 which

includes the above files and more!

Queen Bee Graphic Set

Crikey, this is the quickest card I have made in my life!  The kids are on school holidays, and it is a case of sharing with you some awesome FREE files that can be used to make quick cards.  Obviously, if I had the time I would add some extra embellishments but actually I like the simplicity of it. 

The Queen Bee - graphic set  is DAY 4 of  LD's Harvest Hullabaloo FREEBIE offers.  Each day there are daily freebies until October 31st, midnight MST.  The daily FREEBIES are available for 24 hours only, and then revert back to their original price.

This is such a pretty graphic set and easy to use.

I simply imported the graphics in to my software and Print and Cut the elements out using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.  I mat and layered the sentiment onto pink cardstock.  The background paper is a digital paper which I already had on my computer, which worked so nicely with the sentiment.

Using my Pazzles software I drew a circle around the image and cut it out and layered it onto a scalloped circle.

So, this is how it all looked on my mat.

So, remember to click the above image, to take you to the rest of the weeks FREEBIES during Harvest Hullabaloo, which ends October 31st.  If you still want the file after October 31st, you can select the link below in Cutting Supplies.

Bee Happy

Have you ever made a card and thought the combination of the paper and images just work? Well, that's what I think about this card.  When a project comes together it makes me "Bee Happy".  It's not often I feel this way with my projects, but I have fallen in love with this happy bee which I have cut using my 

Pazzles cutting machine.

I have used a Miss Kate Cuttables file which is FREE to Pazzles Craft Room members.  In fact every 2 weeks Miss Kate Cuttables cutting files releases files ready for you to download.  I love the soft colours and the fact that they come as cuttable files in SVG and WPC file format for cutting machines.  I also love the fact that the cuttable files can be used for Print & Cut projects.

  

Here, I have printed onto my patterned paper using the font to match the colour of the eyes of the bee.

For the novelty factor, I have added an Action Wobble to the back of the image and I just can't help smiling when it wobbles!

Please hop over to the Pazzles Craft Room, HERE for full details on how I made this card using my Pazzles Inspiration.

Although, I am able to Print & Cut this image using my Pazzles Inspiration, just think how awesome it will be to create a ton of Print & Cut files using the NEW Inspiration Vue™ cutting machine.  It was recently launched by Pazzles, which has the benefit of an optical eye for precision cutting.....I just can't wait for mine to arrive.

Bee Happy - gift tag and wrapping paper

  I am having such fun with the Bees Knees collection by Lettering Delights which includes cutting files, graphics, projects, papers and an alphabet.

For this project, I have used some of the digital papers from the Bees Knees Paper Pack.  The papers are simple to use, just download the papers, select the size you would like to print using your printer menu........then select print. 

Here, I have wrapped a CD case using A4 printer paper.....cute eh?

I then made myself a little tag using the Bees Knees - Cut It's set which is available in ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg cuttable file formats.

 I Print & Cut the sentiment, then I cut the yellow and teal frame using my cardstock with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

LD Freebie and Bees Knees collection

Isn't this the cutest cutting file and the Bees Knees Gift Bag is a FREEBIE!  

The Bees Knees collection by Lettering Delights has just been released and there are some adorable cutting files, graphics, projects, papers and an alphabet.

Here are all the elements I used to make the Bees Knees Gift Bag, with some extras from the Cut It set.

I used some files from the Cut It's set to Print & Cut using my Pazzles Inspiration.

Please check out my Print & Cut tutorial HERE.

For speed, I Print & Cut the Queen Bee as my youngest child was going to bed, but if I had time, I would have cut her out.  That is the beauty of the Cut It's sets, you have both options!

Such an adorable gift bag which was so quick to assemble.

 

Click here to get your FREEBIE Cut It Project which is available in various formats for your electronic cutting machines.
