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.

Easter Treat Toppers

Here, is my one of my favourite Easter projects and the very last one, as I am going to have some family time this weekend.  I have created these Easter Treat Toppers for my latest Pazzles Design Team project using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I have Print & Cut some gorgeous Miss Kate Cuttable svg/wpc files which are available for FREE to Pazzles Craft Room members in the Pazzles Library.  I love these cutting files as you have the ability to Print & Cut them as well as paper piecing.  For further details on how I created the toppers, please head over to the Pazzles Craft Room to read my FULL blog post.

I decided to paint the flower pot using Jo Sonja's acrylic paint with an ordinary household sponge, to avoid brush strokes.  I then cut myself some strips of patterned paper which I folded into a bow to decorate the flower pot.

These files are available to download in the Pazzles Craft Room.

I wish you all a Happy Easter.

Bunny Tails

I love making tags for gifts, and I couldn't resist attaching this tag to a bucket of marshmallows with the sentiment "Bunny Tails", using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

 I used elements from the Easter Bunny Candy Wrapper found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.

Basically, I turned it around so I could highlight the bunny tail from the back! I just created an extra circle shape in my Pazzles software to make the body......easy done by selecting the circle shape tool.

I cut out all my elements and inked around the edges using a soft pink ink pad, not forgetting to add on the fluffy bunny tail!

I used the Scalloped Square Tag but omitted the scallop.  I added patterned paper and added an outline of  the tag for my pink cardstock.

Finally, I generated my own sentiment and tied the tag around my bucket filled with "bunny tails" using some Trendy Twine.

Carrot tags

I bought these chocolate mints from a local shop here in the UK, and thought they would make an alternative gift at Easter.  I found also these cute little carrots in the Pazzles Craft Room projects section which made a perfect tag.

I was quite pleased with myself, as I made this little box from scratch, using my Pazzles software and covered it with an acetate wrap.

Just a little bit of Trendy Twine wrapped around the box and threaded through the tag, made this gift cute enough for any Easter Bunny to eat!

Now, I am going to grab myself a coffee and eat those 2 remaining chocolate mints!

Huggable Chicks

Apologies for the photograph, but I could not get the lighting right on this one, don't know, why but anyhow, I love how the chicks are hugging an Easter Egg!  This cutting file is from the recently released LD Lil Peanuts cutting files, and you should give it a go, as it it so quick and easy to put together.

Simply, cut all the elements and layer.  I added some double sided tape behind the eggs and a glue dot onto each of the chicks wings to secure the egg.

These make quick fun Easter gifts for the kids.

I also added a 3D Dimensional bow from the 

Pazzles Craft Room Library to decorate my tin.

Hope you like the inspiration and be sure to head over to the links below to see all the cutting files available.

Kawaii-a-bunga bundles - Lettering Delights

Here in the UK, it has been a frenetic weekend.  It was my daughter's 14th birthday and we had various family activities planned so, no time to cook!  However, I had a moment of  time to make my "What's Cooking?" card using the recently released Kawaii styled Cut It's from the Time to Cook set.

I cut out some elements of my card using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.  I also Print & Cut the background paper with sentiment using my cutting software and Printer.

The adorable Kawaii Cut It's and Graphics are available at sale price in bundles till midnight MST, on Thursday, March 3rd or can be purchased separately.

The neat thing is, that you can delete the faces if you don't want to use them in the future, but they are kinda cute for certain projects.

For my card, I have used patterned papers with the Kawaii-a-bunga of Cut It's saucepan which I paper pieced.  I also used a couple of LD fonts and printed them onto my digital paper.
