Rip Strip Cutting Collection

Click image for more information on the Rip Strip Cutting Collection.

Today, in the Pazzles Craft Room they have released the Rip Strip Cutting Collection. Wow, I am loving it!  Recently, I have seen metal dies that you can purchase, which do the same job (sometimes called a 'Pull Strip'), but now you can create 11 different styled cards using this collection.  Of course you could rearrange the 'Rip Strip' on your own card design by using different elements from the cutting collection .  You could also resize and add them
to your scrapbook layouts!! 

There is so much fun you can have with this collection with your
Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

So, here is a sneak preview of a card I created tonight when I returned back from work.  I will try and write a blog post later in the week.  Just use your imagination, your stamps, pen tool or hand write your message.

Friend Paper Gift Bag

I have been tidying my tiny craft room and realised I made this Friend Paper Gift Bag months ago!! I used the LD Animal Boxes and Bags - Cut It Project Set to make this bag.  This is a great Cut It Project Set as you can use the set as it is or adapt as I have.  Today, I have used the 2nd box in the set and altered it slightly.  Using my Pazzles InVue software I made the top of the bag straight, with no flap.  This is easily done, by using the erase tool to delete the flap. 

Then, use your Point Move Tool - Connect 2 points.  You should have your bag without the flap ready to cut out.  

  OR, you can cut out the cutting file and just use a paper trimmer to cut across the flap.

 Incidentally, I like to remove the score lines and create my own Kiss Cut lines using my Pazzles software created with a dashed line to give a neater finish.

I imported one of the papers included in the  LD Beautiful Blossoms paper pack into my software and cut out my bag.  I added a hole using my Crop A Dial to thread my ribbon.

I wanted a coordinated sentiment with the pretty paper, so I used the Try Me Tool using the LD Beautiful Blossoms - Alphabet.  To create your sentiment you need to be logged into your account and purchase the alphabet set.  Then go to My Library - My Lettering - My Alphabets.  Select the Alphabet you want to use and click the Try Me Tool which will say you own it.  

Rather than download the whole alphabet you can just create your own sentiment.  Type in your sentiment such as Friend and save at High Resolution for printing.  Now save the image onto your computer. The sentiment will now be saved as an Image, usually as a .png file with transparent background.

Now, you can import the sentiment into your Pazzles InVue software, create an oval - group - multiply, then Print and Cut out your sentiment.  OR, you can print out your sentiment and cut it out using an oval punch.  The choice is yours, but I love making these quick digital sentiment sentiments using LD's alphabets with the on-line Try Me Tool.

Hope you like my cute little gift bag just perfect for friend.

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - Stars and Stripes

It's time again for my Design Team project over on the Cut It Up Challenge Blog

using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

Challenge #73 - Stars and Stripes

Well, for a UK girl this one was a tricky challenge one for me.  At first, I couldn't find any papers that fitted the description in my large paper stash.  Thankfully, I found a couple of sheets by Graphic 45, which I incorporated into my project. I used this gorgeous Banner Box found in the Pazzles Craft Room and decorated it with my Stars and Stripes papers.

I typed out my sentiment and layered it onto the inside of my box.  The Banner Box is available FREE to Pazzles Craft Room members.

I designed some stars using my Pazzles software and resized them.  Once, I had cut them out of red cardstock I inked around the edges.  I punched out the stars from the patterned paper using a small circle punch.  On the largest star I used an epoxy sticker on top of some striped paper!

Here is the Banner Box closed.  I added more Stars and Stripes patterned paper around the sides of the box.  Finally, I couldn't resist decorating my Hershey Nuggets too!

Please head over to the Cut It Up Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration for.....

Challenge #73 - Stars and Stripes

You may also like to join in the challenge and we ould love to see your projects using a Die Cut together with Stars and Stripes.

iPod Gift Card Holder

Just sharing with you this cute, LD iPod Gift Card Holder which is part of the LD Gift Card Holders - (CP) Cut Project Set.  I hope you saw my earlier Cassette Gift Card Holder on one of my previous posts.

I Print and Cut the elements on the front of the holder for speed, and this makes a lovely gift for a teenager.  I enclosed an iTunes gift card for my daughter, as a small reward for working so hard in preparation for her exams.

The base of the iPod Gift Card Holder is super easy to create and those earphones are super cute.
