As well as stand alone sheets and backing papers there are full kits which you can purchase page by page so you only have to buy what you will use. Also, should you run out of a sheet you use a lot simply buy the download and you will never run out again :) eg you can see all the different elements from the Kensington collection by following this link.              
The latest feature to be added is the Inspiration Gallery, eventually it will be full of as many of the DT work as it will hold! This is the link to the Antique Botanical gallery .

Each time a kit from Kanban is released Sue sets up a Pinterest board so there is loads of inspiration to be found on there. There are more than 500 pins featuring an assortment of Kanban kits. We can be found on Facebook at Kanban Crafts and there is always the shop web site which can be found at Aspire Crafts so if you're looking for inspiration there is inspiration in abundance :)

Thanks for dropping by and we hope to see you soon.

Deco Ladies

I have more Deco Ladies to show you today, in a bid to brainwash you into submission about wanting this fabulous kit :) Say after me......I do want this kit, I do want this kit lol I have to say though that this kit is truly beautiful and all of the Kanban Design Team have fallen in love with it and had to draw a line under the amount of samples we made as it was all too easy to just carry on making:)

So onto the samples and today I have a couple from our lovely DT leader, Sue. I don't often get my sticky little mitts on Sue's samples as she has to keep them for demos etc on Create and Craft.

Aren't they just fab? This kit makes some seriously big cards. I made a couple of A4 cards (which I think Sue's bottom card is) with no effort at all!

 The show are on Create and Craft this Friday at 9.00 am and 2.00 pm and on Saturday at 3.00 pm and 6.00 pm and I'm sure that Sue and Keith would love you to drop them a line to let them know what you like about the kit.

I'll be back tomorrow with some more inspiration by the Design Team.

Art Deco Christmas

Good morning on this very soggy (UK) morning! 

Just wait till you see the kit that we are bringing you on Friday and Saturday on Create and Craft. It's called The Deco Ladies Collection (but there are a couple of men in there too lol)
It has a definite Christmassy feel with lots of snow and holly on the sheets. The kit is a massive hit with our Design Team so we hope you like it too.

The kit also features a selection of extra large toppers to enable you to make A4 cards.

The kit launches at 9.00 am with Natasha McCarty and again at 2.00 pm with Andy Love on Create and Craft this Friday, 30th October. We will also be showcasing the kit 3.00 pm with Martyn Parker and 6.00 pm with Dave Bradford on Saturday 31st October so we hope you can join us.

Take care, back soon xx

Classic Landscapes

Did you manage to catch Sue and Keith on Create and Craft this morning? They were showcasing the lovely new Classic Landscapes kit but don't worry if you missed it as they are back on at six o'clock this evening. This morning's show, with Jacqui Joseph is also available on the catch up, just click on the arrow next to the show and hey presto, it's there.

A couple more samples for you to whet your appetite :)

Good luck with bagging your kits and they have add ons to the kit too :)

Classic Landscapes

The third October kit released from Kanban is called Classic Landscapes and it is an absolute stunner and (in my opinion) it's a perfect kit for making cards etc for men! Sue and Keith will be showcasing the kit on Friday at 10.00 am and 6.00 pm and as always they would love it if you could join in and give them your support. Who knows, if you email into the studio you could win one of Sue's fabulous Kanban creations.

I have a few Design Team samples for you from the Classic Landscapes kit and will be back tomorrow with more. I hope you like what you see.

Look forward to seeing you soon and don't forget, there is a Kanban Fan Facebook page which you can join and the address is For The Love Of Kanban. You do, however, have to apply to join the group and there are over 1300 other Kanban fans for you to share your work with or ask for help if you need it :)

Bye for now x

Woodland Friends 2

Just a quick note to let you know that Keith will be on Create and Craft this evening between 6.00 pm and 7.00 pm. He will be showcasing the very beautiful Woodland Friends kit along with presenter Andy Love.

The following card was made by Josh whose mum, Tracey C is part of the Kanban Design Team and is very proud of her son for making this beautiful card. Well done Josh.  :)

We hope you can join Keith and Andy later, oh, and you really need this kit lol x

PS If you are a member of the Create and Craft Club, the new members gift has just been released. This month it's a beautiful A6 Christmas pad from Kanban and all you pay is £2.99 p&p....I've got mine ;) I've also got the 8" x 8" version of the pad and I love it.

Back tomorrow with some more DT cards.

Woodland Friends

Life is really busy at Kanban Towers this month...the Design Team are already making samples for the third kit to be released this month. This is the kit being launched this afternoon as the One Day Wonder on Create and Craft  with shows at 4.00 pm, 5.00 pm and 7.00 pm presented by Paul Becque.

This one is very different from previous kits and was a joy to work with. Please join Sue and Keith this afternoon if you can ......I wonder if Keith will behave himself now Sue is back lol. The show last Monday was absolutely superb. There wasn't much crafting done but Keith and Dean made the best double act I've seen for a long time. Did any of our American friends wonder what they had tuned into I wonder lol

A few of the samples sent in last week ready for the shows today

I will be back later in the week with details of next week's shows and sample pictures for the next kit.

Thanks for dropping by.  :)
