Little Devil Card

Soon, Halloween will be upon us and there are some amazing themed cutting files around.  I love this cute "Little Devil" that can be used for Halloween or at any time of the year, if you fancy.

I created my card base using my Pazzles Inspiration software.  I made an oval shape and then selected the scissors tool (cut straight line). I held down my shift key.  Then I moved my cursor across the oval at the top and bottom, then drew x2 straight lines.  Next I selected the eraser tool and I removed the top and bottom section of the oval.  Ta da.....new shaped card!

I Print & Cut the cute little image onto my white card using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I then separated the layers on the devil and selected the pink trim and ears, which I Print & Cut.

I layered the elements and added the eyes onto craft foam pads.

I also used the speech bubble in the set, but typed my own sentiment, then Print & Cut in the same way.

I used the Cut It Set below which has some very cute cutting files for your cutting machines by Lettering Delights.

Supplies :-

Zander Plays - Cut It Set - Lettering Delights

Font included in my Pazzles Software

Just a note Card

I have made this quick Print & Cut card using September Sneak Peak files by Lettering Delights.  I made my red card base using my Pazzles Inspiration Software (W 4.25 x H 11).  The next layer (white) is sized using an inline and another inline for the kiss cut markings.

I then imported my Knit Wits In School - Cut It's image and layered it onto my card.

I used the Knit Wits Alphabet included in the Alphabet Dollar Days Sale.  Unfortunately, the Pazzles Software does not support PNG files but I am hoping this will change very soon.  Once, I had purchased the alphabet I could then download my sentiment, using the LD's Try Me tool I then saved it as a jpeg which enabled me to import the image/sentiment into my Pazzles software.

So, if you love monkeys, you may be interested in Knit Wits In School which is the Sneak Peek for this month. The Sneak Peek files are only available at checkout when you have purchased something else on the Lettering Delights site.  They are on offer at half price until they are released to the public at the end of the month.

So please check out the following.......

Pen Holder

For those of you who follow my blog, will know that I work part-time as a Teaching Assistant, in the Reception Department of a primary school.  This week we have been busy introducing 90 of the cutest 4 year old children into the Reception Department.  Gosh, they come out with the funniest and cutest comments.  I have had a relatively easy week as they have only been coming in the mornings, but from next week the children are going to be introduced to a full school day!

Sorry, for the ramblings. I am in school mode, as we have spent weeks preparing the classrooms for the arrival of the new intake of children.  When I saw the Sneak Peak files for September by Lettering Delights, I couldn't resist making a pen holder.  It is a super quick project but gives you a suggestion on how to make use of the files. 

I took a 285g tin from my larder, removed the lid and label then washed thoroughly.  

I then measured a strip of paper that would fit around my tin.  In my Pazzles software, I selected the text tool and typed the alphabet using LD Trainer Vertical Lined Dots. I then layered the image over the top of the font design. I printed the design from my software and as there are straight edges, I simply cut the strips using my paper trimmer.

Finally, I wrapped and adhered the layers around my pot and filled it with pens.  

Told you it was a super quick project!

Here below, are the September Sneak Peek files which would be great for labels, notebooks, scrapbook layouts etc.

Have fun with these files and many more HERE.

I don't do mornings - Owl Door Hanger

When I saw the Night Owl - Cut It Set which was recently released by Lettering Delights I just couldn't wait to use it to make a door hanger for my teenage son. During the summer holidays he has definitely not rushed to get out of bed in the mornings!

I Print & Cut myself a door hanger and typed my sentiment (Mornings) using the Night Owl alphabet.  Once, you have purchased the alphabet you can use the Try Me Tool, type your sentiment and save at high resolution.  The Pazzles Studio Pro software does not import png formats, so I save it as a jpeg using Photoshop, then import into my Pazzles software with no problem and resized.

I used 'i don't do' from one of the sentiments included in the Night Owl - Cut It Set

In the above photo is my Print & Cut door hanger together with all the elements ready to assemble using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I used a Zig 2 way glue pen to glue the intricate layer. 

I love the door hanger but don't think my teenager son is so impressed!

Let's Chat - Retro Cutting Collection

I couldn't believe it when Pazzles released their latest Retro Toy Cutting Collection.  Unbelievably, I found the Retro Teeth toy that I played with as a child in my own children's toy cupboard.  It is such a popular toy that has found it's way under my duvet to scare me at night!

As a DT member, I was asked by Pazzles to create a card using one of the files in the Retro Toys Cutting Collection. 

 It is available for FREE to all Pazzles Craft Room Members in the Pazzles Library.

However, if you are not a member and would like to purchase the cutting collection you can do so from the Pazzles Store which is available in .wpc,svg and ai format for your cutting machines.

I cut out my 'chattering teeth' using coloured cardstock and added it to my card using an Action Wobble to give the fun element of the teeth chattering!  

I Print & Cut my background using an overlay and speech bubble from the Pazzles Craft Room.  I used the rhinestone feature as an inline to the speech bubble and added the sentiment using a font included in my software.
