FREEBIE ALERT…Pazzles & Die Cuts With A View = A Pot Of Crafty Gold

Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a project I created recently for the Pazzles Craft Room. I created this easy and cute pot of gold box. 

To create my box, I used my Pazzles Vue cutter and the software to create the file. I then turned to some of my trust DCWV stacks for all the fun paper. I used papers from the Honey Chic Paper Stack as well as the Glitzy Glitter Stack.




The glitzy glitter cut like butter and didn’t shed! I don’t know why I have been hoarding this stack….LOL!!!  I finished off the gold with a little line of stickles. The project came together very quickly and I loved the results!

For those of you that don’t know. I create electronic die cut (SVG) files for the Pazzles craft room. Here is just the latest release. All of these are free to download when you subscribe to the Pazzles Craft Room!

Con “GRAD” ulations Poster

My daughter recently graduated from high school. I couldn’t be more proud of the fine young lady she has grown into. It was a low key celebration as we don’t have too much family in the area, so I made this poster and wanted to share it with everyone.

Here’s a look at the entire poster. I used a piece of foam board that was already colored blue. I started with blue as I thought I would do things in blue and silver which her school colors. After consulting her, she didn't want the blue and silver theme so I ended up adding some “color” to it….lol The overall size is 20” x 30” a standard piece of foam board.  One of the nice things about the pazzles software is that you can design according to your finished size. You simply create a new file with the sizes you want. I do this a lot when I am working on a two page layout. I adjust my size to 24 x12 and then go from there. Doing this allowed me to layout the letters and then copy them over to a 12 x 12 size for cutting and I knew exactly how it was going to layout.

Here is a closer look at some of the yummy goodness I created.  To make this bottom image, I created it all in my Pazzles software. Once I had the final size, I exported it to a jpg. Then I took that jpg image and opened it up in my Microsoft Publisher software. I did this because this software has a feature for “poster printing” It allows you to layout out your larger print and then it will automatically “slice” up your image to print on however many sheets of letter size paper. The great thing about this feature is that it prints a little “overlap” where it knows you will have a seam. This allows you to cut one side of the image to where it printed up to and then you can lay it on top of the “overlap: and create an almost seamless look very easily! This print out too three sheets of letter size paper so it had two seams. In the above photo you see where I added some shading to the cake slice using my copic markers as well as some of my Pebbles dry decorator chalks. I also used some stickles, white dimensional paint and some distress stickles for the cake, Bundt cake and pie tops.

Here’s a closer look at the cake slice. You can see for parts of the cake, I used some of the Bazzil textures that come in the Pazzles software. This printed out nicely giving the cake some texture. I again used some white dimensional paint for the frosting.

Here is a closer look at the lettering. I used some Stickles midnight blue to go over the lettering to give it just a little extra shine.

Here’s a closer look at the cute little cupcakes, cookies cake and whisk. Again, I used my markers, chalks and stickles to add to the printed images.

Here is a closer look at the letters. I used some of the DCWV Glitter paper in black for the letters and the animal print paper is from the Neon Chic stack…Love my stacks!!!

Here is one last look at my completed poster. She really liked it and put it in her room

Owl Birthday Card With My Pazzles

Happy Hump day crafty peeps! Hope you’re week is going well. For those following along with the Psalm reading for the counting of the Omer, here is today’s passage:

ג Gimel

17 Deal bountifully with Your servant, 

That I may live and keep Your word. 

18 Open my eyes, that I may see 

Wondrous things from Your law. 

19 I am a stranger in the earth; 

Do not hide Your commandments from me. 

20 My soul breaks with longing 

For Your judgments at all times. 

21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed, 

Who stray from Your commandments. 

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, 

For I have kept Your testimonies. 

23 Princes also sit and speak against me, 

But Your servant meditates on Your statutes. 

24 Your testimonies also are my delight 

And my counselors.

Psalm 119: 17-24

May the Lord open the eyes of our hearts that we may see His goodness and mercy. Blessings to you for reading and meditating on His Word.

Now on to today’s project. My daughter asked me to make a card for her. She had a friend who was celebrating a birthday recently. Her friend loves owls, so this is what I came up with.

I created this super cute owl in my Pazzles Inspiration software. I turned her into a card by welding the base image together. I used some patterned paper from the Neon Chic Stack from Die Cuts With A View. I also used some black glitter paper from the Glitzy Glitter stack for her shoes, eyes and eyelashes.

Owl Shaped Card By PaperCraftingWorld.com

I inked her blue eyes with Lagoon and beak pieces with Sunset inks from my Adventure Ink Pad set. I also inked her tummy piece with some Blush ink  and her other pieces with some Cranberry Ink pad  and Ruby Ink pads.

Here’s a closer look, you still can’t see the “glitter” of the black of her eyes and eyelashes too well, but it is a nice paper with a good coating that won’t let the glitter shed. I used some stickles for the white of the eye glints. I topped her off with a pretty little purple bow and a gem from the Clear Sparkles Assortment set.  I think she turned out super cute and my daughter informed me that her friend really liked it. So it was a win-win
