Swirled-Twirled Flower Wreath

Hello crafty friends, 

Today I am sharing a wreath I created for one of my Pazzles DT assignments this month. I used only one file from the Pazzles Craft room Library. It was the Napkin Ring from the Mad Hatter set.  Here is my project. 

Here is my completed wreath.

Here is a closer view of the pretty bow. I picked the ribbon up at Hobby Lobby at 60% off the Halloween Decorations Isle.

Here is a view of all the flowers. I cut them all the same size. I simply twirled some tighter so I would have varying widths.

After twirling the flowers, I simply began hot-gluing them to the painted fiberboard wreath. This gave them a really good strong adhesion. I packed the flowers very tightly and after the glue dried, they are on there very firmly. I am glad I chose to use the DCWV patterned paper. I like that the white core adds some continuity to all the flowers even though they are all different patterns and colors. It is also a stronger, cardstock weight paper and that gave the flowers some added firmness. It is amazing that just one file can produce such a wonderful decoration. I hope you will get a chance to cut, twirl and paste some for yourself! This wreath will definitely be around for a few years!

Pazzles Pilgrim Turkey Place Cards

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing some super cute little Pilgrim turkey place cards I made for my Pazzles DT. These will be perfect for our Thanksgiving table this year. I used some fabulous patterned paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody and Pumpkin Patch Stacks.

Here is a view of my 6 turkeys. Three boy and three girls.

All the cut files are from the Pazzles craft room.

I combined the turkey for the turkey boxes file along with the Gobbler Turkey file to create these cuties. Instead of regular tail feathers, I used the one of the files from the nine rosette file set. I simply spread the rosette out half way instead of all the way around. I glued them to a piece of black cardstock and then inserted that into the place card base from the Thanksgiving Place Card Holder file set. To dress up the base, I cut some cute pumpkins from the Pumpkin and Fence cut file. The turkeys were cut from some Bazzill cardstock and the pumpkins and the “tail feathers” were cut from the DCWV Autumn Melody and Pumpkin Patch Paper Stacks.

Here’s a closer look at one of the place cards. I used my chalk inks and regular chalks to give the turkey pieces dimension. This shot also shows the cute little name signs I created with my Pazzles Pen tool. That pen tool makes this a SNAP! Even the perfect faux stitched border was created with two clicks of a mouse button!!!!

Here is a view of my three boys! My son, nephew and grandson.

Here is a view of the three girls. My daughter and two nieces.

Autumn Sunflower n’ Butterflies Layout

Good morning crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a project I created for my Pazzles DT.  This layout features pretty patterned paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody Stack as well as some beautiful files from the Pazzles Craft Room.

Here is a view of my layout. I used the following files from the craft room:

Autumn Harvest Sunflower

Monarch Butterfly

Butterfly 001

Here is a close up of the flowers and the Monarch Butterfly. I added some Brushed Corduroy Distress Stickles to the centers of the flowers. I wanted some texture without adding “sparkle”.

This shot shows the layers and the added dimension the foam adhesive gives the project.

Here is a closer look at one of the larger Monarch Butterflies. I cut them out in that pretty patterned foiled paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody Stack and then cut a solid version in dark brown cardstock. I adhered the centers and then curved the wings for some added dimension.

Here is a closer look at the pretty title tag. This was in the stack. I love that they include some pre-printed die cuts in some of their stacks. Just a nice bonus. I finished off the title area with a pretty bow of ribbon and burlap cord.

Here are the products used to complete this project

Pazzles Inspiration	DCWV Autumn Melody Stack	Autumn Harvest Sunflower
Monarch Butterfly	Butterfly 001	May Arts Burlap Cord
American Crafts Yellow Polka Dot Ribbon	Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink	Autumn Terracotta Ink from Enchantment Ink Pad Set

Additional Supplies

I think that about covers it for today. Be sure to head over to the Pazzles Craft Room and check out all of their great resources. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your crafty time with me!

Happy Fall Card

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a card I created for the Pazzles Design Team and the Pazzles Craft Room.

I think fall is one of the prettiest times of the year. I love the colors and the crisp cool air. I sure do miss living up north during this time of year. Well anyway, here is my card for today. I am a self proclaimed DCWV StackAHolic! DCWV Autumn Melody Stack was the perfect choice for the pretty paper on this card! 

When deciding what to create, I knew I wanted to work with the new Pazzles Pen tool. I used several files from the craft room library to create this work of heART.

Here is a closer look at the pen work. I simply added a "fill" into my fonts. The pen tool and my Pazzles did all the coloring in for me. The pretty flourish pen work is a craft room file as well. I then created an outline and had the pen do the dashed "stitched" line. I used an American Crafts Red Glitter Gel pen for the lettering and a Sakura Micron Brown Pen for the flourishes and the stitching work.

The card base is made of kraft cardstock and then I layered it with a cream and orange mat. As I mentioned above, the pretty patterned papers I used for the mat, the acorn outline and the leaves and border strip are all from the DCWV Autumn Melody Stack. Another fabulous stack of papers from the creative minds of DCWV!

Here's a closer look at all the yummy layers and papers.

I inked most of the edges with my Close To My Heart Saddle Ink Pad

In this view, you can also see where I took three strands of my burlap cord from May Arts and braided it to create a little extra visual interest. I layered it onto the May Arts Olive Satin ribbon for some great texture contrast.

Here's a closer look at the pretty little leaves and the burlap cord bow with button. I cut all the leaves out of the piece of Autumn Melody paper and then inked them with the various inks in my CTMH Enchantment Ink pad set. It gave them enough of a subtle difference without making them all completely different. 

Supplies Used

DCWV Autumn Melody Stack	CTMH Enchantment Ink Set	May Arts Burlap String SM10
May Arts Satin Olive Ribbon CTMH Saddle Ink Pad	Sakura Micron Brown Pen	AC Red Glitter Gel Pen
