Party Hat - 2014

So, here is my first project for the New Year......2014!  

I have made a party hat for my Design Team project over in the Pazzles Craft Room.

I have used my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine to cut the Party Hat cutting file which is available in svg and wpc formats.

I have added some die cut stickers from my paper pack to decorate the party hat.

I even cut the paper tassel for the top of my hat using my cutting machine!  This hat took 15 minutes to make and can be used for any celebration by changing the papers and embellishments.

Please head over to the Pazzles Craft Room to read my full blog post.

Supplies:

Pazzles Cutting Machine – 99.00 Dollar Special
Carta Bella Collection Kit - Beautiful Moments

So, here is wishing you a very Happy New Year, health and happiness, mixed together with a little bit of crafting in 2014!

Santa and Elf Gift boxes

Here are some simple Elf and Santa gift boxes I have made using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutting machine, for my latest DT project at Pazzles.   I work in a school,so I thought these could be put together very quickly as Christmas gifts for the kids in my class.  The cutting file is available in svg and wpc format in the Pazzles Craft Room. All you need to do is resize the box cutting file using your cutter software, and then they can be made as big or as small as you want.

Just by changing the colour of the cardstock and the trim you can change the look of the box.  I am sure fellow crafter's will have some more ideas.

Once the belt buckle and punched trim have been adhered you can fill with your treats.

I even used my Pen Tool in my Pazzles Inspiration to draw the stitching using a white pen for the braces.

I am so pleased with the way these gift boxes have turned out using my textured 

AC coloured cardstock from Handy Hippo.

Challenges entered:-

Summer Holidays - Stringbean

I am back from my summer holidays and need another holiday to recover!  We had a lovely time and one of the sunniest holidays we have had in the UK for many years.  I hope you all had a wonderful summer and it makes such a difference when the sun shines.......one happy family!

Anyway, enough chatter.  I only wish I looked as glamorous as this Stringbean Lady, but no chance!  I love the Full Color Stringbean - Cut It sets as they are so versatile, and can be used for so many projects.  If you think the bundle is a tad expensive you could always buy the sets individually.  As they are coloured, you can use them for Print & Cut projects with your cutting machine or use the colours to guide you which coloured cardstock to use with your cutting machine.

The Full Color Stringbean Cut It Set is specially designed to be used with your cutting machine. Each Cut It set includes several different file formats (ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg). 

Finally, I layered the postcard paper onto some coloured cardstock.
