No, that is not a typo. I've been Fooling Around with Foil! I recently purchased We R Memory Keepers foil quill system. I'm using it with my Pazzles Inspiration Vue personal paper cutter. I sound like a commercial. I am not being paid by either company. I'm liking the foil quilling. It is simple enough […]

I know that Valentine's Day is past, but I want to share the card that I made for my sweetheart! I chose this darling image of a couple in a "romantic" gesture. It came from Apex Cuttable Designs. First I cut out the image from red card stock. I knew that I wanted to use […]

What kind of shoes do mice wear? Squeakers! Here is an adorable Valentine that Amanda created for Pazzles. All pieces of the valentine are made using the Pazzles' InVue, including the sentiment!! Yes, you use the Pen Tool to "draw" the text. You can make the mice your own creation by using supplies that you […]

It's pretty cold here this weekend! We need a little cheer. Playing around today with some bolds, brights and daisies!

I'm not sure what it's called, but it is a popular shape circulating the crafting world. I call it a "swirly scribble flower." I think it is mostly available as a metal die. But I said to myself, "Self, you can do this up in Pazzles' software!" And I did! I have made 3 variations […]

I only made a few cards for Christmas this year. I wasn't too motivated, but I hopped in to my "workshop" and gave it a go. I have a friend who loves the llama craze. I have a llama metal die. I'm experimenting with what to do with him. I quickly fashioned this card by […]

Happy Christmas! At my work place we are engaging in Secret Santa. That is when you draw the name of a co-worker and secretly give them presents. At the end of the given period, you reveal your identity. Usually, the group engaging in this festivity agrees to a low dollar allotment. We are doing a […]

I think cards and crafts with mason jars will never go out of style. I have a new toy! It is a metal die for making a tri-fold mason jar card. It is made by sizzix. Here is a top view of the card when it is folded and unfolded. Here you see how I […]

I welcome you to my (semi-new) blog. We missed the renewal notification from the host company and I lost the web address. Thus, a re-birth of Krista's Paper Cafe is now found at www.KristasPaperCafe.US (caps added for emphasis). The top level domain (or part the part after the dot) is the only change. I appreciate […]
