Print and Cut - graphics and your Pazzles

Hi, it's Joanna here from http://ilove2cutpaper.blogspot.co.uk/, long time no see!
Apologies!

I know I am not posting on the correct day, but if I don't while I get the chance I may not get round to it.

 I have been busy designing projects for a new on-line magazine dedicated to crafter's who enjoy using die cutting machines called The Cutting Edge Magazine.

If you wish to subscribe to the magazine, click the link/image to take you there and decide for yourself.

In each issue there will be FREE files included throughout the magazine especially for die cutters. Of course the added bonus it that you will be able to see 4 of my projects exclusive to the magazine!



You may also want to like The Cutting Edge magazine Facebook PAGE as they have heaps of FREEBIES (please tell them you heard about it from little old me).

Anyhow, enough rambling on.  Here is my project following my recent Print and Cut Video Tutorial for the Pazzles Inspiration.  Did you see it, what did you think? I would love some positive feedback.

Today I thought I would show you the sort of cards that you can make using your cutter together with graphic files.

Look how great my Print and Cut tree cut out! 

It cut out so well using my Pazzles Inspiration cutter that I layered 2 of them on top of each other with craft foam pads for dimension.  I then added some gorgeous self adhesive rhinestones to the centre of the flowers.

I printed out my text, using my Pazzles Studio Pro software .....

.....and cut it out using Print and Cut again!

I also cut my frame using Kaisercraft paper and layered it onto my base card which I made also using my Pazzles Studio Pro Software.

Hexagonal Decorative Boxes (svg's)

Hi everyone, it's Joanna again as guest designer from ilove2cutpaper sharing with you my project this week.  

I love making boxes with my Pazzles cutting machine especially at this time of the year as they are so handy for festive gifts.

For these boxes I have used svg files from a set which includes different designed bases and lids.

Click this link to view the set
http://ilove2cutpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/hexagonal-decorative-boxes.html
The boxes are available in ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg file formats for your cutting machine.

I cut these 2 boxes using the same base. Then I cut out 2 different lids in coordinating paper.

I decided not to cut out the top centre piece of the lid design so I moved it to the side and made it larger in 2 increasing sizes using the outline feature.

Using different coordinating paper I layered the centre design and added an antique brad to the middle.

And here is the inside of the decorative box ready to fill with a gift.

Using double sided paper by Kaisercraft (These Days Collection) made the box really easy to put together.  I love this paper so much I think I will have to buy some more!

Alphabet Blocks Gift Box

Hi everyone, it's Joanna again as guest designer from ilove2cutpaper sharing with you my project this week.

This is the cutest of projects which you can use with your (Pazzles Inspiration) cutting machine or hand cut with scissors, it's that easy!

This would make the cutest baby christening gift box, don't you think?

If you pop over to my BLOG you will find the link to purchase these adorable Alphabet blocks.

I must say I have had the most wonderful trip down memory lane cutting these files, remembering all the sweet baby moments I had when my 3 children were born!

Incidentally, as you have the cut line for the box included in the Alphabet Block - Print and Cut set you could print out some of the digital papers also available in the collection.  I would lay the digital printed sheet on your cutting mat and just use the cut file (svg).....so many options.

For these Alphabet Blocks, I decided not to print and cut, although the file does include the cut file for you to use with your electronic cutting machine.  The boxes are so easy to cut with scissors so, on this occasion that's what I did.

Once downloaded onto my computer I selected the .png format and right clicked to print from my desktop,  (not even opening my Pazzles software).

When my printer settings were open (as above) I DE-SELECTED Fit picture to frame using Paper size A4. On the right hand side I selected the size of the print I wanted which meant I could change the size of the printed boxes.  I selected Full page photo for my gift box.

Here is my A4 printed page which has just come off the printer.

Once my box was printed out I cut around using scissors!

Then scored using my bone folder (very easy), then assembled my boxes.

Be sure to check out these ADORABLE Alphabet Block sets on my blog and get crafting!

Following a sketch with my Pazzles Studio Pro software.

Hi, here I am again, Joanna as guest designer at Kricut Krazy, sharing a recent project with my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

Making this card using my Pazzles I really challenged myself, on two counts.  Firstly, I tried a recent sketch from Mojo Monday and secondly, I challenged myself to use papers and graphics with my Pazzles 2010 Studio Pro software.

I imported the sketch layout as a .jpeg into my Pazzles  software and then drew the elements so that I could cut them with my cutting machine at the desired size.

I then printed out some digital papers and laid them onto my cutting mat and cut each element as I required.

I chose my images and  I then print and cut the graphics out with my Pazzles Inspiration.

This is not my usual style of card but I love how it turned out.

The combination of the papers and graphics made it easier to follow the sketch that seemed to have zillions of layers!

I am pleased I had a go at the challenge!  

Motto for the day "Have a Go!"

Decorated bag using a sketch

Here I am again, Joanna Wright from ilove2cutpaper.blogspot.com, as guest designer at Kricut Krazy using my Pazzles Inspiration. 

This week I decided to decorate my 1st paper bag using some new cutting files available on my blog.

During the summer holidays my kids are taking priority in the entertainment stakes so crafting is limited!

So, I decided to use a sketch to help me.......

by Clean & Simple #149

As this was the 1st sketch that I have followed, I wanted to try and keep to it, as close as possible.

 I made my own jagged border in my Pazzles Studio Pro software using Tools, found in the Colour menu.....I was quite pleased how it turned out.

  

The decorative circle in the centre of the bag is from a cutting file set available in ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg file formats available on my blog.

Please take a peep at my blog  for more details and photos and were you can see links to the cutting files I  have used http://ilove2cutpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/recently-released-floral-stationery-cut.html

I know this is short and sweet, but I hope it was of interest to you!

Feeling RUFF card

Hi fellow crafters, it's me again, Joanna from I love 2 cut paper with a project 
using my Pazzles Inspiration.

Earlier in the week I found a cute dog graphic that I cut using my Pazzles Inspiration digital cutter.

I have used the Print and Cut technique and I can now hold up my hand and say I have mastered it....hooray!!

I made my base card using my Pazzles Studio Pro software.  I just drew a rectangle and used the scissors (tools) to make the jagged edge to the base.  I then used my crimper on the yellow paper that is adhered behind the dog.

I thought the dog looked sooooo cute and would be perfect for my friend who is not feeling great at the moment.  I simply autotraced the image, added an outline and used the print and cut technique.

I printed the sentiment using one of the fonts already installed on my computer and then cut the little tag by hand.

When you master Print and Cut with your software it allows you to make quick cards and the satisfaction of conquering another challenge with your software!

Please take a peep at my blog where there are lots of other projects using 

my digital cutting machine.

If you are quick there is a link to a couple of FREEBIE graphic files you can grab.

Available till midnight tonight MST.
