Birds in Nest - Print and Cut

Here, is my latest DT Pazzles project which uses a sketch and a cutting file by Miss Kate Cuttables (Birds in Nest), available in the Pazzles Craft Room Library. The sketch is found in the category Cut and Paste Sketches in the PCR. I have used the sketch to take all the hard work out of designing a card from scratch!

Here, you can see how I have Print and Cut the cute birds, which is actually a cutting file available in wpc and svg file format.

I cut these cute buttons and threaded them with some trendy twine to coordinate with the Birds in Nest colour scheme.

World's Best Dad - Pazzles FREEBIE

Over at the Pazzles Craft Room this week there is a bonus FREE cutting file courtesy of Miss Kate Cuttable, which is available in wpc and svg file format. I thought I would show you quickly how I cut it out.

Import the file into the Pazzles software.  I used the wpc file format, but depending on what software you are using, you may want to use the svg file format.  Then, I layered all the elements and kept referring to the image of the file so that I achieved the same look.

I made an outline marked in red which will be my cutting line.  I made another outline and filled this is grey to match the image.  If you are a Pazzles Craft Room member you can refer to the video tutorial "Using Cutting Files for Print and Cut Projects".  If you are not a Pazzles Craft Room member, I strongly urge you to subscribe as there are a ton of video tutorials to help you get the best out of your cutter.......I am still learning!

For full details about the Pazzles Craft Room membership, click the image below.

I have made my registration boxes ready for Print and Cut and positioned my printout on the top right hand corner of my cutting mat.

I positioned my blade at the first registration box and ready to make a test cut.

Perfect!  

Now, this is going to be even simpler with the NEW Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine (released in June) which uses an optical eye for precision cuts, so there will be no need to prepare registration boxes.

I Whaley Love You

Sometimes, life just gets in the way of crafting!!!!  I made this quick Print and Cut card several weeks ago and have just come round to posting it.....better late than never!!  This is a Print and Cut card in it's simplest form.  I layered the whale and sentiment onto my banner shape, then I printed it out and cut it out on my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

Such a cheeky whale!
I made a white outline around my whale to give some definition.

I then arranged my sentiment onto my digital paper from the Down by the Bay Paper Pack.  I love the flexibility of being able to use an assortment of fonts to make my sentiments, rather than have a ton of stamps that I would only use once!

Finally, I cut out a heart shape from the digital paper pack and cut out my wave using yellow cardstock.

I love my Mum

Here, is an amazingly quick card that I have created using LD's Millions of Mums alphabet with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine for Mother's Day (USA).  I used the LD Try Me tool and typed out 'MUM', then saved  it at a high resolution.  Unfortunately, the current software for the Pazzles Studio Pro does not import .png files with transparency (but soon will).  To get round this I imported the .png file into Photoshop and saved it as a .jpeg which enabled me to use it in my Pazzles software.

I printed it onto some white textured cardstock to overcome the fact that the image has a white border around it.

I then typed my sentiment and placed a border around the edge using the rhinestone feature.  I matched the font and border with the colouring from the alphabet. 

Here is what my page looked like on my Pazzles visual mat before I printed it out.  Finally, I used my guillotine to cut my cardstock (along the black lines) as it was quick an easy to do with the straight edges,  therefore need to print the registration boxes for a full Print & Cut on this occasion.

(This card is in memory of my Mum ~ x)
