New Home Gift

Oh my goodness, how cute would this be for a friend moving into a New Home?  The cutting file can be found in the NEW release of LD's Snips Snails and Turtle Tales. 

For this project, I have used the LD Snips Snails and Turtle Tales - Cut It Project which was easy to put together using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.  I did delete the holes on either side of the box, which I presume were there to thread some ribbon to make a handle, but I decided not to bother.

Now I have a tip for you........I was trying to cut out the black features on the snails face, but they just didn't look good in black cardstock.  I suddenly thought, why not use black vinyl, which gave me just the right look I wanted!  My Pazzles Inspiration Vue cut the vinyl out perfectly, I weeded it, then used transfer tape to place it onto the snail.

I made a simple little tag and sticker for my envelope using the 

LD Turtle Tales Graphic Set  which I Print and Cut.

Easter Egg Gift Box

Today, it is with great sadness that I am here to announce, this is my final Design Team project for Pazzles.  I have been a Design Team member for the last 2 years and enjoyed every minute of it. I have learnt so much more about the Pazzles Studio Pro 2014 and Pazzles InVue software, creating projects and blogging about them.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing them all, and they have inspired you to "have a go" at making some of the projects using the cutting files
available in the Pazzles Craft Room.

For my Easter Egg Gift Box I used the Cookie Box cutting file, which is available in the
Pazzles Craft Room Library in wpc and svg file formats.

I resized the Cookie Box using my Pazzles InVue software.

Please pop over to the Pazzles Craft Room, to read my detailed 

instructions create this project.

Although, I need a break from meeting monthly deadlines, I am looking forward to creating projects in between family life and my day job in a primary school!  I would love you to stay with me throughout the rest of the year, and continue to follow many more projects using my
Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

I love reading ALL your comments which inspire me to continue my blog,  Joanna x

Easter Bunny Gift Box

Over in the Pazzles Craft Room Library I saw a cutting file that I thought I could tweak a little bit to create an Easter Bunny Gift Box.  I love my software for being able to do this, as I can't design cutting files for toffee!  I saw the Easter Egg Cup here......

I had bought some Milkybar Easter Bunnies from my local supermarket and thought they would fit perfectly with this cutting file.  

All I needed to do, was resize the oval aperture where the egg sits, for the base of my bunny.  The rest of the file I kept the same but added an extra flower.  

I cut out all the elements using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue Cutting Machine.  If you are a beginner, this is an easy project to cut out and assemble.

Daffodil Window Box

I love Springtime. The weather in the UK is not too hot and it's not too cold, but best of all, I LOVE daffodils.  Looking out of my kitchen window, while washing the dishes, I admire the daffodils bursting into bloom.  So, I was inspired to create this Daffodil Window Box for my latest Pazzles Design Team project using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

It was super easy to make using cutting files found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.

Once, I had created my daffodils, I couldn't resist doing a quick Print and Cut of the cute little birds in the nest.  Using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue which has an optical eye, makes it quick and easy to create Print and Cut toppers.

Please pop over to the Pazzles Craft Room, to read my FULL blog post and details of the cutting files used for this project.

Incidentally, if you want to see more of my Print and Cut projects please use the SEARCH MY BLOG gadget on the right hand side of my blog and type in Print and Cut.........enjoy!

I love to read your comments, Joanna x

Framed Salutation Cards

I love these simple LD Framed Salutations Cards which come with lots of fun shapes and sentiments.  They are easy to cut using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I backed the front of the card with white card stock.  I embossed the card using a diagonal embossing folder and then scored a double line using my scoreboard. I used a glue pen to adhere the fine detail to my white card stock.

Here, I have made another card using the 'hello' sentiment.  I added some flat backed pearls to the embossed diagonals to give it more dimension.

I love the simple, clean cut look to these cards which are perfect when I want to write a quick note in a hurry.

Framed Salutation Card by Lettering Delights

Here, is a Framed Salutation Card by Lettering Delights which they have layered onto a black and white photograph.............just gorgeous.

Happy Mother's Day tag and decorated glass jar

Hello, to all Mum's here in the UK........Happy Mother's Day.  I decided to paint this Kilner Jar with some white Americana Chalk Paint for glassware.  This was my 1st attempt and was very simple to do.  I applied several layers of the white paint to my jar using a soft brush. In between each coat I let it dry well.  

At the last minute I decided to add some Crafter's Companion Spray & Sparkle which is a gloss varnish with ultra-fine glitter.  The photo doesn't show the glitter very well, but it adds a lovely texture and shine to the paint.

I then cut out a tag using a 'MUM' sentiment from LD Tagged Sentiment SS and added 

some LD Dimensional Flowers using my Pazzles Inspiration die cutting machine.

I lightly sanded over the embossed glass words. Finally, I added some Hershey Kisses because every Mum likes kisses!

Mother's Day and LD FREEBIES

Here, in the UK tomorrow, it is Mother's Day and there are some great FREEBIE files to download.  I made this card last year and is very easy to make.  I imported my UK Mum and Sweet Mum graphics file into rectangle shape using my Pazzles Inspiration cutter software, then added some stitching around the edges using my line tool.

Once printed, from my Pazzles software, I used my paper trimmer to cut around the rectangle.  I then layered onto my card base.

So, now is the time to grab these LD FREEBIE files available this weekend.  There are 

Millions of Mum's Words and Plenty of Purses in graphic formats.........love the purses!

Gift Card Holders

I love giving gifts to my family and friends, but sometimes the cost of the postage is too much  So, sending a gift card is the next best thing.  I saw these pretty Gift Card Holders in the LD Sweet Nothings Gift Card - Cut It Project Set which are available in various file formats

for your cutting machines.

I cut the Gift Card Holders using thick patterned card with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.  They were very quick and easy to to assemble.  I added my flower embellishments from the same set using foam craft squares to give extra dimension. I added a small Velcro Dot to open and close the gift card.

So cute....... I love them!  I better make a batch of these as I am sure they are going to come in handy very soon.
