Allsorts Week 447/448 Seasonal Flowers

Hi All

We are having a two week challenge at allsorts to allow us all time to celebrate christmas.  May i wish you all a very happy christmas and new year!

Mervi has set the theme "SEASONAL FLOWERS"



Stamp Addicts is a family run business based in Bedfordshire and have been in business since 1992. We have watched the popularity of rubber stamping and all papercrafts steadily increase over time and now manufacture our own branded rubber stamps which frequently feature on Hochanda TV as well as craft shows across the UK.

We also run Create It Events which was set up by Stamp Addicts and Once Upon A Stamp to work in partnership with HOCHANDA TV to create Inspirational Craft, Hobby and Art Shows that we hope to take around the UK. The first event is in Kent on 13-14 May at the Kent Event Centre, Detling, Maidstone. Hochanda will be filming and broadcasting live throughout the day and there will be lots of exhibitors running Make and Takes with stamping, stitching, felting, Silver Clay Jewellery plus lots lots more so make a note in your diary.


Sizzix, there's no bigger or better place for craft materials, custom dies and machines that can die-cut, emboss and texturize many materials, including cardstock, paper, construction paper, fabric, faux fur, felt and foil plus much more.

Allsorts Week 426 Photo Inspiration - Poppies

Hi All

Brenda is setting our challenge this week and has given some photo inspiration .

You can take any interpretation of the photo, it could be poppies, the colours or both



Mine is here using an indigo blu poppy, clarity stencil and free sentiment from a magazine set


Our lovely sponsor this week is Swedish House Crafts who will be offering a £20 store voucher to one  lucky winner. If you are not familiar with them you really should pop over to the strore and take a peek and the different and unusual products for sale. Here is a little about them................


"My name is Suha and I have created Swedish House Crafts in the second part of 2016. It is a little Swedish online shop with lots of enthusiasm for crafting in a different style, dare to be different. Visit SHC and learn more. I have been professionally crafting since 2008, I gave colouring classes (with Promarkers) in Sweden, had exhibition in 2014, and used to make cards and mixed media mainly. I have a master degree in digital and visual design. Yes, 100% of graphics in the shop are my artwork including the logotype. Because I am not leaving my education, I am using it in my passion for paper crafting in the first place. Great combination as the future is full of plans and surprises, hold on and follow SHC on Facebook and blog, you'll find SHC everywhere."
