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.

I would love you to leave comment here on my blog or over on the Pazzles website as I love sharing my projects with my followers.

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.

I made this cute little gift bag for my daughter as she is always is interested in my projects, especially if they contain goodies!  So this one is for her sent with BIG 'Hugs and Kisses'.

I cut out one of the hearts using my pink cardstock and cut the 'hugs and kisses' 

using white vinyl with my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

Super quick and there are a bunch of other sweet hearts and projects in the

Just For You

I thought I would make a little card using the same flower shape that I used for 

my Flower Gift Basket the other day with LD Spring is Bliss - Cut Project (CP).

For the top layer of my card,  I made an OUTLINE of the blue flower which I placed in a small rectangle.  I then used SUBTRACT WELD which gave me the cut out flower shape (green layer).  This is the first time that I have used SUBTRACT WELD and never realised how easy it is to apply to shapes!

I layered all the elements of my card and placed the blue flower in the middle of the cut out shape. I inked and curled up the edges of my petals to give extra dimension the flower.  I then added a simple stamped sentiment onto a banner.

This cutting file is included in the "LD Christmas in July" Sale, priced at $0.50  SAVE an extra 30% when you use Coupon code: Snowball on purchases of $7 or more.

Flower Gift Basket

I was looking to give a gift to a friend and came across this cute basket in the

LD Spring is Bliss - Cut Project (CP) which is only $.50 for the set!  I cut out the elements using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue and it came together very quickly.

I love the little paper embellishments included in the set, which I inked around the edges.

I couldn't resist adding a few pearl embellishments.

Stained Glass Cutting Collection

Today the Stained Glass Cutting Collection was revealed in the Pazzles Craft Room.   This is such a fun cutting collection, as there are so many creative possibilities.  Here are some suggestions on how you could use this cutting collection.......you could fill all the elements with glitter, patterned paper, use your copic pens and water colours.  You could layer onto photos or use vinyl for a decorative pattern.  Just a few ideas to get your creative juices going!!!

Click here, for project ideas on how to use
the Stained Glass Cutting Collection.

As soon as I saw this collection, I decided to make this simple card which I cut out using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue.  I layered 2 coordinating papers behind the overlay.  It literally took me 15 minutes to cut out and assemble the whole card!

What do you think?  I think it looks so effective.  I know it is simple, but I just wanted to share with you another way of using the Stained Glass Cutting Collection.

The collection is FREE to download for members of the Pazzles Craft Room.  However, if you are not a member, please click HERE for further details on how to purchase this collection which is available in svg, wpc & ai file formats.

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - #74 Stickers

The weeks seem to go so fast and I can't believe it's Friday!  

Here is my Design Team project over at the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.

Challenge #74 - Stickers

The challenge is to use 'stickers'.  Either, a sticker image and/or a sticker sentiment 

including a Die Cut on your project.  

Well.......I don't own many stickers, so I thought I would create my own!

I used the cute owl graduate from the LD Hats off to You (GS). 

 I imported the owl into my Pazzles software and vectorised the image to create my cutting line.

I then Print and Cut the file using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue, with a label sheet from Staples. Using the Print and Cut mat together with registration marks makes it SO EASY which ensures accurate cuts.  It is very simple to make your own stickers.  Instead of printing onto paper or cardstock you just print onto sticky label sheets.

I then cut this Graduation Hat from the LD Hats off to You - Cut It project set.  The set includes wonderful gifts for your graduation day.  I created the Graduation Hat for the top of my Kilner (UK) or Mason Jar (USA) which I had filled with chocolate coins.  I cut out 2015 using the same bright yellow cardstock as I used for my tassel. 

The graduation hat comes with .pdf instructions to help you assemble the project.  I think this makes a cute, inexpensive gift for Graduation Day, what do you think?

Be sure to hop over to the Cut It Up Challenge Blog to see my fellow DT members projects.  It would be lovely if you could join in the challenge, too.

Cut It Up Challenge #74 - Stickers

The challenge ends July, 8th 2015 and is sponsored by Robin's Nest .  The winner will receive a $20 Gift Certificate.
