Kanban Christmas 2

Here is another gorgeous Christmas card from one of the members of the Kanban Facebook group, For The Love Of Kanban and this time the cards are made by Fiona Henderson.

Aren't these Wobblers just so cute? 
This next card is also from Tracey C from the Design Team

and this one is by Laney

Thanks Ladies, your cards are fabulous!
Back soon :) x

Hobbies & Interests

Don't forget to join Denise and Keith on Create and Craft tomorrow with the brand new Hobbies and Interests kit from Kanban, the shows are on at 8.00 am and 1.00 pm. This is the kit and I can honestly say that there is loads of it and it covers a lot of different hobbies and interests (really lol). There are also plenty of add ons to be had which can be used to enhance the main kit.

 

A couple of sneaky peeks of samples Denise will be making on the show

and don't forget that if you email into the show at studio@createandcraft.tv, to say hi, your email will be put into the cup of chance and you may just win one of the lovely cards that Denise makes on the show! Good luck.

I'll be back tomorrow with a little inspiration from the Design Team. Till then, thanks for dropping by. x

And finally....

.....the last few samples from the Design Team  made with the new Deco Ladies kit.

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.

More Deco Ladies part 2

Good morning, first of all I would like to welcome the Kanban fans from around the world, particularly those from the USA. Some of the Create and Craft shows are now simultaneously shown in the US on Create and Craft.com. We have a Facebook page should you need more inspiration or just want a chat then we would love to welcome you to For The Love Of Kanban

I hope by now that your lovely Kanban kits have started arriving from Create and Craft, I got my goodies yesterday so I will be having a crafty play later.

I have a couple more DT samples for you today and you will see, again, just how the kit does the thinking for you. The backing paper and card and the toppers just work so well together but you don't have to use the 'matching sets' of course, you don't even have to use the backing papers from this kit with the toppers. I love mixing bits from other Kanban kits to make my cards as they all work so well together.

Here are a few more samples from the DT.

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

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.

Selection Box part 3

Good morning everyone, thanks for your comments and and support for the latest Kanban kit, The Selection Box. Don't forget that there are several Kanban items on Create and Craft this morning in the Monday Morning Craftiness show at 10 o'clock.

This morning I have a few more samples made by the Design Team for the Selection Box show on Friday with Keith and Denise. Did you get yours? Have you paid a visit to Aspire Crafts yet? This is the home of Kanban and there are some wonderful goodies which are desperately looking for new homes ;) Go on, you know you want to lol.

Sue made this beautiful card, I just love that butterfly!

Tracey C made this fabulous bunting. It's amazing how different the samples are that the team create with the kits.

This card was made by Debbie J, isn't it just gorgeous? I've never made a shaped easel card so it will have to go on my to do list.

And finally for now, this lovely creation was made for us by Linda.

That's it for now again, I shall post a picture of one of mine later in the week.

Thanks for dropping by.

Selection Box

Another couple of fabulous creations from the Design Team created for the latest gorgeousness from the House of Kanban (Aspire Crafts). We were amazed at which colours worked well together and I know I was really worried when I first opened my kit to find that there weren't any patterned papers or toppers to work with but once I laid all the papers etc out on my desk the ideas started flowing :)

This little beauty was made by Celia.

Another fab creation from Tracey B.

Something totally different from Judith, what a great idea.

I will be back tomorrow with some more fab samples but in the mean time, a little temptation......tune in to Create and Craft for their Monday Morning Craftiness show tomorrow morning if you fancy any of these :)

See you later, enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

What's new?

Well it's been a while since we have been here (in case you hadn't noticed ;)). The team has been really busy and we have had a few new kits out which have been previewed on Create & Craft tv (new TV shows mean lots of samples to prepare). We have a brand new team to share with you too, so I would like you to welcome
