Lynne's Craft Haven

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts where I've chosen the optional theme of Things with Wings to go alongside Anything Goes.

The prize is a $30 gift card from Taylored Expressions and extra prize of an A4 stamp set.

    

                                                             

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.

Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend.

 Good Morning Everyone,

Back again with another card.  I've decided this year to try and use some or most of my unused stuff.  I have it in a basket and it's getting a bit overloaded at the moment as I was lucky to get some Christmas crafty presents.

These stamps weren't for Christmas.  They were one of the first Altenew sets I bought quite a few years ago and hate to admit I've never used them.  I stamped the outlines of the motifs with Versamark and gold embossing powder onto Bristol Smooth paper and then coloured them with my Zig markers, just two colours Light Green and Cyclamen Pink.  The sentiment is also heat embossed in gold and from a Penny Black set called Super Day.

I've also used Stampin Up gold sparkly dots, MFT mini scalloped edger and gold and pink papers for the mats.

I would like to enter this into:

It is time for a new challenge over at Allsorts and Lynn has chosen the theme of  Flowers as well as Anything Goes.  

I have used an Altenew layering stamp set call Antique Roses using Golden Sunset and Green Fields ink cube sets, cut them out with the co-ordinating dies and arranged them onto my card.  The green striped paper is a snippet of some old Stampin Up paper and gold washi tape, also from Altenew, divides the top from the bottom.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.  I've heat embossed it in gold which was a bit risky as most of the card was already made up, but luckily with PB sets being quality, it turned out well.  I've added a few gold enamel dots to finish it off.

I must say this set is one of the easier ones for layering.  I have a couple of others but always seem to struggle getting them in the right place.  

There are 3 prizes on offer:

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we would like you to share a project featuring your favourite 2 colour combo.

I have chosen yellow and green as I think it's so clean and fresh looking.  I have used another Altenew layering stamp set called Wildly Loved with various shades of yellow and cut everything out with their respective dies.   The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion, which I've cut in a gold cardstock and a few gold sparkly enamel dots were added to finish it off.

 Morning Everyone,

I have bought a few Altenew products from a lady on Facebook and this is my first attempt at these flowers called Morning Flowers.  

Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts this morning with a theme of "Back to Nature", which involves so much such as trees, flowers, animals, birds and scenery to name but a few.  There is also the Anything Goes option.  

. 

For my card I have finished something that has been on my desk for a while.  It is an embossing folder from the Altenew Craft Your Life Fragrant Florals set.  A stencil comes with the set which I have used for the colouring together with a variety of Altenew inks.  I have also used a LOTV sentiment, heat embossed in gold, and gold mirri and green card for the layers.

                              

 Morning Everyone,

This is a card with a first attempt at using Painted Flowers from Altenew.  I've had them for quite a while bought pre-loved from Ebay, but have only had a practice with them so far so thought it was about time I had a play.

 Morning Everyone

I wanted to enter the challenge over at Seven Hill Crafts where the theme is to use Shades of Autumn as shown on the chart below.  

I decided to use Hennah Elements from Altenew which I've coloured with copics.  I was only going to fussy cut a couple of them but after an inking hiccup had to cut the already stamped ones out and start again so they all ended up being fussy cut.  The upside to that was that I could manoeuvre them whichever way I wanted and this is how it ended up.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in white and I've added a could of enamel dots for a bit of interest.

This is the palette for the colours:

So I would like to enter:

SevenHills Crafts - Shades of Autumn

Creative Knockouts - All Stitched Up (square stitched die used)

Simon Says Weds - Anything Goes

Digichoosday - Anything Goes

Allsorts - Anything Goes

It looks as though it's going to be a sunny day here today after quite a chilly start so I may do some tidying up in the garden.  Have a good weekend whatever you may be doing.

Morning Everyone,

It's time for the start of a new challenge over at As You like It and we are asking you to shar your projects with your favourite two colour combination.

I like grey with most colours, but this bright pink really stands out so well with it.  I have heat embossed the Altenew Statement flowers in silver and coloured them with my Zig markers.  After fussy cutting them out I placed them onto the white base which has been trimmed with an old Spellbinders edging die.  The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted set and has also been heat embossed in silver.

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well.  I've had a nice afternoon of crafting and managed to get this card finished.

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and I am delighted to be their Guest Designer this month. 

 

Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge at As You Like It and we are asking you to share your favourite reason to send a card, e.g. birthdays, Christmas, friends etc.

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer using Floral or Cute images on your projects.

 Good Morning Everyone,

What beautiful weather we're having here at the moment.  I thought we'd seen the last of the warm sunny days.  

I've had a play with some inks after seeing a video on Youtube.  I put three colours of ink onto a mat, sprayed them with a bit of water and then stamped my flowers from the Adore You set by Altenew in a random manner. 

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well.

I have made this card for a couple of challenges I saw recently.  I have used a die for the centre which was a magazine freebie and this is it's first use.  I don't know why I haven't used it before, I love the effect it gives.  Have stamped Altenew flowers and leaves from the Adore You set,  coloured with copics, fussy cut them and arranged around the die.  I wouldn't normally use such a bright colour as the blue paper, but I really like it.  The sentiment strip is from LOTV and I've added a few bubbles from Little Things from Lucy.
