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.

Supplies :-

Die Cutting Machine - Pazzles Inspiration

Bee Happy Card

I have got to tell you this is such a simple card, but so much fun to make, using digital papers from the latest LD Bees Knees paper pack with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I designed my card using the Pazzles Studio Pro software.  I imported the hexagon svg file and took out the fill/colour.  I also added the svg sentiment to my card.  Then, I selected the colour picker tool to match the colour of 'happy' with the outline on my hexagon.  I didn't need to prepare any registration boxes for Print & Cut as it was just as easy to print using my printer,then use my paper trimmer to cut around the black outline defining my card front.  Please note that, I cut the card front out once I had adhered all the hexagon pieces. 

Hopefully this will make sense by the end of my blog post!

Here, is how I prepared to print my digital papers.  On this occasion, I didn't want to use an A4 sheet of paper so I selected 13 x 8cm as seen in the above screen shot.

Here is the digital paper coming off my printer.

I then used my paper trimmer to cut to size.

I laid the digital paper onto my cutting mat.

I cut out several hexagons.......

........so that I could make several more cards using a similar design.

Now the fun part.....play around placing the papers where you want on the design!

I am really pleased how this looks and have saved my pennies from purchasing metal dies!  The patterns and combinations you can use are numerous!

Give it a go, I guarantee you will have fun with this one :)

Supplies:-

Canon Printer (printing the digital papers)

Pazzles Cutting Machine – Inspiration Vue

LD Bees Knees Paper Pack (for the paper designs)

LD Bees Knees Cut It Set  (for the sentiment and hexagon)

Bee Happy - gift tag and wrapping paper

  I am having such fun with the Bees Knees collection by Lettering Delights which includes cutting files, graphics, projects, papers and an alphabet.

For this project, I have used some of the digital papers from the Bees Knees Paper Pack.  The papers are simple to use, just download the papers, select the size you would like to print using your printer menu........then select print. 

Here, I have wrapped a CD case using A4 printer paper.....cute eh?

I then made myself a little tag using the Bees Knees - Cut It's set which is available in ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg cuttable file formats.

 I Print & Cut the sentiment, then I cut the yellow and teal frame using my cardstock with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.
