Crafty Kayes Room

My second card was made using the eCraft Dolls and Pets sd card. What a lot of fun these are. Took me back to my childhood days of paper dolls.  I also added a touch of red to this card for a bit of bling and added a Spellbinders tag. My swap partner is a passionate cat lover so the eCraft Dolls and Pets sd card provided the perfect image for this card. 

We have just completed our August swap over at Craft Mad .  Our theme this week was black and white, my favourite colour combo. I doubled up in this swap so I had two partners this month. This is my first card, I was given some beautiful new dies for my birthday so I wanted to try them all. I managed to include 3 Spellbinders and a Martha Stewart punch on this card. I also added  a touch of green which was a bit outside the rules :)

We had our fortnightly Create and Chat over at Craft Mad on Friday night.We made a Cake and Candle card. This card is adaptable to any occasion. I made a birthday and a Christmas card  in this style. We hold our Create and Chat online at Craft Mad every second Friday Why not sign up and join us for a night of Creating and Chatting.

My last clock was made for my great nephew Jay. I painted the canvas blue added some cute train paper and animal embellishents. Thank you for visiting my blog this week and I hope that you have enjoyed your time here.  Please call back soon.

I covered this canvas with patterned paper and added 3d images of horses and farm equipment for my friends birthday clock.

A clock for my daughter  who is a chef.  I painted the canvas white to highlight the colours in the numbers and the embellishments. I also used a digital image of a chef. Unfortunately I can't recall the original site to give credit for the image.

I made this clock for my craft room , using my favourite colours, black and white with just a touch of red added.

This week I thought I would share some of the clocks I have made using canvases. Today's clock is  movie themed, with James Cagney, Charlie Chaplin and Abbot and Costello. I made it for Ron who is a bit of a movie buff.

I have used a 6x6 square card , added a layer of patterned paper, Spellbinders Lotus Pendant  and Spellbinders circle dies and topped them with a Studio Light 3D image, added a ribbon rhinestones and a greeting. Thank you for visiting my blog this week.I hope you have enjoyed seeing my creations and will come back soon.

This die is named Dainty Dutch Deco  from Cheery Lynn  Such a delicate pattern makes it suitable for all types of cards 

Blue Edge Crafts  have some new Cheery Lynn dies in store.. I made these cards with the Big Weaver die. I think they make an interesting background on a card .

Following on from yesterdays post I would like to show you the cards my swap partner Caryn sent to me Thanks Caryn I love them both

Our July Card swap at  Craft Mad  has been completed. We had a tic tac toe theme this month and had to choose 3 techniques to make our cards. I chose Embossing , die cuts and flowers for my first card . and  glitter pearls and flowers for my second.

Our final  Laser cut cards are Christmas cards I hope you have enjoyed what I have done and perhaps picked up a few ideas  All the Laser Cut Card Fronts are available from  Blue Edge Crafts Please call back soon.

I really had a play with this next card . I faux stitched and coloured the pots plants, inked the edges  and chalked the background, added a tag and butterfly.  I stitched this card and added bazzill layers behind the card front and added some pearls.

Another two laser cut cards today I have added a layer of black bazzill under the laser cut card front and a self adhesive felt image to the centre. I covered the existing hearts with punched hearts and then some rhinestones around the edges and gold stickers to the corners. I then faux stitched the pattern around the edge of the card front. I loved the laser cut on the front of this card. I added a Spellbinders Fleur de lis die cut  and a Studio Light 3d image to the centre. The background is red bazzill.

For the next few days I would like to share with  you some more cards made from the new Laser Cut Card Fronts from  Blue Edge Crafts  I have added a layer of lilac glitter paper behind the card front and a Studio Light 3d image  This one has a layer of pink bazzill, a Studio Light 3d image and pearls added. These cards are also beautiful when stitched but I have tried to show an alternative to those who prefer not to stitch.

Today I would like to show you some lovely hand made cards I received for my birthday last week. I just love the colours in  the flowers on this one made by my sister in law Ruth . Stunning card .
