Winter Hat Shaped Card - Pazzles Design Team

I haven't made a shaped card for a while.  So, when asked for a winter themed project this month for my Pazzles Design Team project I decided to make a Winter Hat Shaped Card.

So, what excited me about this project is that I used the new digital papers available in the Pazzles Craft Room.  If you have a membership you are able to download these papers.  If you are not a member of the Pazzles Craft Room you are able to purchase these papers for use with any digital cutting machine for $2.95.  Click image below to take you to the LINK.

'Fall is in the Air' Shaker Tag - Pazzles Design Team project

I recently created this Shaker Tag as my Pazzles Design Team project.  All the elements have been cut using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine. It's such an amazing cutting machine, truly it is!

I Print and Cut the printable inside the shaker element which made it super quick to assemble.

Pencil Box - Pazzles Design Team

I work as a Reception Teaching Assistant in a local school with adorable 4-5 year olds.  I love my job!  Here is a Pencil Box gift I made for the teachers going back to school.  

It is a super quick project for teachers and kiddos.  You don't have to fill it with pencils but you could also fill it with your felt tips pens or coloured pencils.

It is super easy to make your own embellishment using the Pazzles software and coloured textured cardstock.

Chill Out - Popsicles - Pazzles Design Team

The theme for my Pazzles Desgin Team project was Summer Holidays!  Iced Lollies, as we call them here in the UK, or Popsicles to my USA crafting followers, immediately sprung to mine.  Who can resist a walk along the beach holding one of these to cool yourself down?  This Chill Out card is super easy to make, just a bit of layering using coloured cardstock.  I decided to add extra dimension using a wooden stick rather than cutting one out of cardstock.

I printed my wave background border and sentiment which gave me the look I wanted.

Apple Shaped Card - Pazzles Design Team

Here is my Apple Shaped Card for my recent Pazzles Design Team project.  Shaped cards always excite me and is the reason I bought my Pazzles Inspiration creative cutter.

However, with the ability to Print and Cut my own toppers extends my creativity whilst saving money creating my own embellishments.

Above, I have created my Print and Cut insert using fonts and adding images.  I also designed my own lined paper, the possibilities are endless.

Mason Jar - Pazzles Design Team

I love how my Mason Jar card for my Pazzles Design Team project turned out this month, I even surprised myself!  The cutting file I used was pretty simple but you will be amazed at how easy it is to bring a project to life using pretty papers and dimension.

I was inspired to create this project by the sunny weather we are having here in the UK, hence the title "Hello Sunshine".  I cut all the elements using my Pazzles cutting machine and then made a simple topper using the Print and Cut method.  If you are a Pazzles Craft Room member you are able to download the files as part of your membership.  If you are not a member, you can purchase these files in svg, wpc and ai file formats for use with various cutting machines.  The files to purchase are highlighted at the foot of the blog post over on the Pazzles website.

Happy New Year - Top Hat Favor

Hello to all my lovely followers on my blog.  I have not been able to craft as much as I would have liked to this year.  It has been challenging on a personal level and things have been tough. As a family we have risen above everything thrown at us over the last year and stuck together as a unit. So, hoping 2017 will be kinder to us!

On a lighter note, I bring you this Top Hat cutting file project from the Pazzles Craft Room.  This particular project is from the recently launched Party Hats Cutting Collection.

 As you know I love creating 3D projects and this afternoon while the house was relatively quiet I dusted off my Pazzles and made this Top Hat project.

I did make some adjustments to the project.  I wanted the Top Hat to be open and not include the lid as in the original cutting file.  I made some quick adjustments using my software.  I also found that I needed to add several more tabs so that I could get a better curved shape to the hat as you will see in the screen shot above.

I also made the band around the hat a bit wider (1" in width) so that the bow sat better on the band above the rim. These are all minor amendments but a personal preference to satisfy the perfectionist side of me! 

I created the numbers using one of the Miss Kate Cuttables cutting files available to members of the Pazzles Craft Room.  I omitted all the detailed in-lines, and just kept the outline as I was cutting the numbers out of thick gold shimmer card.  I then attached them to some flower wire and stuck them into a blob of Blue Tac inside the base of  the hat!  I did in fact add a smaller circular base to the bottom of the hat just to give it more rigidity. Finally, I cut myself a bit of paper shredding.

Happy to be back at home in my craftroom,  I am off to prepare another project before I have to taxi my kids to and from various New Years Eve parties this evening!  

The glorious life of a mum with 3 kids!

Easter Bunny Cracker Box

I saw a Cracker Box cutting file in the Pazzles Craft Room at Christmas and never got around to making a project.  So, Easter is upon us and I decided I wanted to adapt the original file slightly.  For my Easter Bunny Cracker Box, I lengthened the box so I could fit these 3 cute bunnies on the top.

  

As I lengthened the box, is was a perfect fit for my mini chocolate Easter eggs to go inside.

The cute bunnies are also from the Pazzles Craft Room which I reduced in size and cut out of patterned papers using Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

St Patrick's Day Kilner Jar

March is such a lovely time of the year, when the spring flowers begin to brighten up our days with bright, cheery fresh colours. I love how this St Patrick's Day Kilner Jar turned out and is perfect for my pretty flowers, which sits on my window sill in my kitchen.

I Print and Cut a little tag using a cutting file by Miss Kate Cuttables available in the Pazzles Craft Room using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I do love being a member of the Pazzles Craft Room, as I am able to download 40 different cutting files every 70 hours included in my subscription.  Click the image above to take you to the details of the subscription.

I painted this Kilner Jar, or you could use a Mason Jar with some bright green paint coordinating with my St Patrick's themed tag.

Just a fun St Patrick's Day project that is very quick and pretty to achieve.

If you enjoyed reading this blog post I would love to hear your comments.
