Crafty Kayes Room

I am waiting to be called into hospital for some surgery so I will probably not to be able to craft for a while so I hope you will bear  with me while I share some cards I have made recently for my stash. They are all made from Kaisercraft Card kits which are a quick  and easy way to increase your stash and use your imagination at the same time.  

  My next order was a bit tricky . I was asked to do one card for a couple who were  both celebrating their 70th Birthdays. a farm theme for him and a flowers scene for her and a cover suitable to both. Had me scratching my head for a while but finally came up with this card. 

A New Home card for a friend to give a young lady moving into her first home.  Only instructions were it must have a house a tree a fence and a dog. I think I managed to cover the brief.  I used an unnamed brand die for the house, dog, fence and cloud, Spellbinders for the tree and Flower soft for the flowers.  

  My latest miniature that I have completed. So tiny,  only 3/2 inches square and did my head in a bit  but so cute when finished. It has a perspex dust cover to go over it but I removed it  to hopefully get some better photos.  

This was my second card for partner in the  May Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap.  I am not sure what the correct title is for these type of cutting dies but   they seem to be quite popular just now.   At times they can be a bit frustrating but I feel I have achieved something  when I have finished  putting it all together.   

Our theme for the Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for May  was a free choice so we were able to make cards of our own choosing. I love making these pop up box cards so that was my first choice. I enjoy layering them up with just whatever you have in your stash. I hope my partner enjoys it a swell.     

                                                                      Part 3                                       I recently came across this paper pack in my stash and thought I would make up                                           some cards to send to the Tourist outlet shop. I will share close ups of the others over the next few days.

I recently completed this dinosaur frame to send out to  an outlet shop where I sell a few things.    I hope it is hanging on a small person's wall by now.😊  

I made this Gift Box from a Dreaming Tree file  So happy with the result and I am sure to make many more. It all went  together so beautifully as Dreaming tree projects always do.  I added a couple of lace handkerchiefs and some fragrant soap and  gave it to my friend for her Birthday.   

My nephew is a rather accomplished guitar player so I thought this  was the perfect cad to celebrate his 18th birthday. The guitar inside pops up when the card is opened. SVG  file is from Dreaming Tree.    

My sister in law recently celebrated a BIG birthday.  This is the card I made for her.  Love these papers , so soft and pretty  Happy Birthday Ruth   

The second part of our April Swap was to send our partner  some sheets of patterned paper . Below are some of the papers I sent. I expect in the second half of the year we will be using or papers for a swap card ...maybe    

Our theme for last months' Craft Mad Monthly Swap was to make a corner pop up card. Long time since I have made one of these but I did enjoy it. Something different.    

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Lest we Forget    

                                                        Our second card for last months Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap                                                     was a black silhouette on a white background.                                     I used a Couture Creations embossed background and an unbranded die.     

  Sharing our Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for March. We are concentrating on different types of card folds for this half of the year . This month is a Concertina Card . Once again not a card I have made very often but I did enjoy doing it and also not as hard as it first seemed.

I send some of my craft work to a tourist shop in Outback Queensland . I have made these water bottle covers as I believe it does get very cold  out there in the winter so hopefully the travellers might appreciate  a toasty water bottle on a cold night.  

Lots of birthdays recently amongst my family and friends.  This one is for my friend and I believe the paper  is from the Stamperia range.  

I was browsing in a department store recently and came across a water colour kits containing all the necessary item to create 10 cards and 10 A4 matching panels. Although I am no artist I thought I would try them, a real bargain for $4 .  

I made this Easel card to celebrate my friend's birthday recently.    

Our second card for the Craft Mad Monthly Swap last month  was to use items we received as part of our Secret Santa gift last year. My gift was full of lovey goodies like tape runners, tweezers, magnets  and all sorts of very useful items so I used a lot of them to construct my card.  

  Our Craft Mad Monthly Swap for last month was to make a  Pinwheel Tower Card.  I had never made this type of card before  and it was a lot easier than I had anticipated.  This was my card to my partner.
