Valentine's Day - Heart Topped Gift Boxes

Valentine's Day is not far off, so if  you are looking for a last minute gift, why not try these Heart Topped Gift Boxes found in the Projects section of the Pazzles Craft Room.  They are available in wpc and svg file formats for your cutting machine. 

 I cut the boxes out of red and white cardstock using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue (99.00 Dollar Special), which were easily assembled.  The heart top is so pretty, don't you think?

I placed a bit of acetate behind the heart on the front of the box, so the Hershey Kisses would peep through.......very tempting! 

I just thought, you can never get enough Love and Kisses, especially the chocolate variety!

I then added a stamped sentiment onto my tag which was tucked behind a rolled flower.

Be Mine - Valentine Cards

This week, I found a fantastic cutting file in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.  It should be a Pocket Card file, but I decided to play with one section of the file using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I tried 3 different looks and could have carried on for a while trying different permutations, but I ran out of dusky pink cardstock!

This is what the file in the Pazzles Craft Room looks like and is available in wpc and svg format.

So, how did I create the 3 different looks...........

This is the first card I started with.  I made an outline of the curved rectangle to create my base card which I mirrored - duplicated - welded.

I cut out the file but did not cut the bottom right heart out of the pink cardstock.  Instead, I cut one heart out of patterned paper.  I layered it onto a craft foam pad and added a pearl flat backed heart.

For my second card, I followed the same procedure but I cut out all the hearts using patterned paper.  I cut out one heart using pink cardstock and adhered it as before.

Then, for my third card I realised I had some pretty patterned hearts left over from card number 2 (above).  So, not wanting to waste them, I scored them and applied a tiny bit of glue to the back of the score lined heart and arranged them on my card!

Oh, by the way, I took a sanding tool and distressed around the edges of the pink cardstock and hearts of all three cards.

I am so chuffed at how I have made 3 cards out of one cutting file and I still haven't made the Pocket Card as intended.....maybe next year!

I would love you to leave a comment and tell me which card is your favourite?

Valentine Cracker Box

I just can't stop making Valentine projects, they are such fun to make.  Here, is a cute little project I made a while ago using the Cracker Box cutting file available in the Pazzles Craft Room.  It comes in wpc and svg file formats for your digital cutters.

I have cut this Cracker Box out using my Pazzles Inspiration digital cutting machine and just LOVE it!

As you can see, I have altered the file slightly.  I added a heart to some of the panels.  I used a heart and made an outline to create the cut out red border, so that you can see the jelly beans inside the cracker.

 I also used the cut out hearts to decorate the remaining panels and added a flat backed pearl embellishment to the centre.

I placed the jelly beans inside a cello bag and arranged them to sit inside the cracker.  Finally, I stamped a sentiment on a punched out tag and tied it around my ribbon and flower embellishment.

Valentine Heart Topped Boxes

 

I love pink and couldn't resist making up some Valentine Heart Topped Boxes using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine. 

I have a passion for these pink and white coordinating patterned papers in my paper stash.  For a girl who loves pink, I must admit I have quite a few sheets to hand!

I cut out the cutting box which measure 1.5" x 2.5", but of course you could 

resize on your cutting mat to make them larger.

I adore the heart shaped top which forms the closing mechanism.

I added some transparency film behind the cut out heart and filled it up with white chocolate drops.

Using a simple tag punch, I added a stamped sentiment and embellished it with a paper flower.

*There are full assembly instructions to make this box in the project section of the Pazzles Craft Room, HERE.  

This would be a perfect project to cut out in large quantities as they are quick and easy to make.

Valentine Day Card

Now we are into the New Year, my head has had to get quicky into gear for Valentine projects!  I have made this Love U, tag shaped card as part of me Pazzles Design Team project for the challenge of the month.  The challenge is to use the colour gold in a Valentine's Day project.  

The cutting file is available in WPC & SVG file formats.

I found the cutting file in the Pazzles Craft Room Library and teamed it up with these beautiful Kaisercraft papers.  I don't often use gold, but I found this gold glittered vinyl which I bought many years ago and thought it would work well with this challenge in the Pazzles Craft Room.

This is a simple card, just cut all the elements of the card with papers of your choice!  Of course, I couldn't resist adhering this pretty rhinestone gold heart for the EXTRA bling!

If you have a Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine you may want to head over to the Pazzles Craft Room to read all about this month's challenge to use the colour gold in a Valentine's Day project.
