Embossing at Allsorts Challenge #752

 Hi Crafters,

Happy Weekend!

Saturday means a new challenge at Allsorts and we'd like to see your creations using EMBOSSING, either heat or dry embossing. I have used both on this young lads card with the brick embossing folder and then all the letters, numbers and hinge die cuts have been heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The set of prizes this month are from Stampendous and Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW

so check back on the challenge blog regularly to see if you are chosen in the weekly top 5 or are one of our lucky winners drawn at the end of the month.

Have a fabulous day!

Autumn Colours at Allsorts Challenge #751

 Hi Crafters,

The week has rolled around again and we have reached the weekend, Yay! That means a new challenge theme at Allsorts. This week we would like to see all your lovely creations in 

AUTUMN COLOURS or the option of Anything Goes.

I have used this lovely collection of dies from Highlight Crafts called 'Build a Bouquet, Small Lily, Over the Edge Lily and Terracotta Pots'. The sentiment die is by Crafters Companion. 

I was inspired by a card that Brenda made recently which used these dies and so I thought I'd check them out, somehow they landed in my basket and here we are.... :o)

We have prizes throughout this month from: Stamp Addicts, Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, Ruth Hamilton Design, AALL and Create and Craft Stash

Take a look at the creations from the other members of the Design Team HERE and come and join in with us.

See you again soon,

It's been a lovely week here for the weather and we have reached Saturday once again so that means a new challenge at Allsorts.

We are looking to see your VINTAGE creations this time plus we have the ANYTHING GOES option too.

I have made a Wedding Anniversary card using this lovely, layered vintage rose design. There was a lot of fussy cutting to be done but well worth the time taken.

Short and sweet from me today as I have my Flu Jab appointment to attend this morning, I'm hoping there are no side effects with this one as I've only just gotten over feeling ill after having my Covid jab last weekend!

Take care,

Lorraine
