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.

Happy St Patrick's Day card - Print and Cut

I'm not Irish, but I have loved making this weeks St Patrick's Day projects.  Here, is the last project and I am so pleased how it has turned out.  A quick Print and Cut using the LD Hello - Patty - Graphics with my Pazzles Inspiration plus some layering and the card was done in no time at all!

I used the graphic wreath image from the LD Hello - Patty - GS.  If you are looking for St Patrick's Day images this is the set to go for as they are just perfect for cards, tags and home decor.

I imported the image into my Pazzles InVue software.  I vectorized the image to create a cutting line and omitted the small pieces so I just had an outline.  I increased the outline depth to give me a white edge around the image for my wreath topper.

I printed the image it onto white card stock with the registration mark, then Print and Cut the wreath.  All the FREE updates to the Pazzles InVue software have made images so easy to vectorize.

I used a 'Board' stamp by Stampin Up which created a perfect background for my wreath.

Kiss Me I'm Irish-ish : gift bag

Here is another quick project, a St Patrick's Day gift bag.

I have recently been inspired by lots of crafting projects using watercolour pencils and chalks.  Oh my gosh this is the simplest technique EVER.  I punched a tag using watercolour card stock and drew some lines in the colours of the rainbow using chalk pencils and blended them together with a chubby stick.  That's it!

I punched some banner tags out of patterned papers and layered them onto my paper bag.  

I printed out my sentiment from LD Hello - Patty - Phrases and a larger clover leaf which I Print and Cut, to make an embellishment to go on top of my glittered peg. Printed sentiments are great fun to use and super easy with my Pazzles Inspiration. This one is a cutting file which enabled me to adjust the colouring for my printer and resize.


 The LD Hello - Patty - Phrases are FREE till Thursday, midnight MST, see HERE. They will still be available but will revert to original price after Thursday.

Lucky Charm Tag

Today, I am using the LD Hello - Patty - Phrases which are available as graphics and cutting files. I Print and Cut the cutting file (SS) so I could adjust the colour of the text to make it more vibrant. 

I then used some watercolour cutting files available in the Pazzles Craft Room and cut them out of my bright coloured card stock using some rainbow colours.

You can use these phrases in all sorts of projects for fun tags or a feature on a card.  They are FREE till Thursday, midnight MST, see HERE.

Tic Tac Toe card and gift set

Here is a super quick Valentine card and gift for your loved ones using LD files with my Pazzles.  It took me no time at all to make using the LD Love Happy Tic Tac Toe - CS.  I imported the image into my software and created a quick valentine card which I Print and Cut with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I then took the X's and O's and created some Hershey Kiss toppers which I also Print and Cut.

I thought it would be cute to make a little banner tag for my gift bag.  So, I duplicated the image and shrunk it down to fit in my banner tag.

Then I wanted a fun little gift to go with my Hershey Kisses and printed out the LD Love Happy - Tic Tac Toe - PR.  I used my guillotine to trim around the printables which was easy to do.

If you haven't done so already, you should hop over to the LD site as there are amazing images, fonts, cutting files, papers etc, in fact everything you need to keep you busy in your craft room for hours of happy crafting.

I always enjoy reading your comments.

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.
