Tutorial Time

Hi everyone , Fran here today for you , on the 2nd Tuesday of every month I shall be bringing you a picture tutorial , showing you how I have made one of my cards using Kanban or Aspire goodies.

For today I am going to share with you how I created this card.

For this card I have used some Kanban 8x8 card , Dekromount Windows and Shutters , topper sheet from The Thoughts Of Spring , some gems and a sentiment from the small Creative Frames sentiment pad.

 Firstly I took the 2 pieces of 8x8 card , scored down the side of one, and then adhered them together to form a card blank.

 Next I stuck down the border and the sentiment.

 After sticking the topper down , I then took the window frame and added some foam pads to the back to give it some depth.

 Next I stuck one of the shutters down flat next to the window frame.

 For the other shutter , I took a thin strip of card and scored it down the middle to create a hinge effect , and the adhered onto the window frame.

After finishing the card off with some bling , here is the finished card.

Thank you for joining me today on the Kanban Blog

Don't forget that there is a make and take event coming up soon .

Nicola's Pink Pick of the Month....

Well a very happy hello from me...

Nicola!

I am really excited to bring you a  new feature on the Kanban blog every month. 

'Nicola's Pink Pick of the Month'.

I love pink it is my favourite colour. I thought it would be a great idea to make a pink project using my Kanban kits, making sure the main focus is of course 'pink'.

I have been a fan of Kanban for many years and absolutely love the kits, I have so many that I have collected over the years. Of course being on the design team too means I also get to create with new designs.

I hope you like my 'pink' project for this month.

I have used from the Kanban range...

~ Hydrangea flowers pink foiled background card

~ Vintage rose background card

~ Lavender Accents paper craft toppers

~ Lavender rose elements paper craft toppers

I have used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Victorian Velvet for the edges of the back ground cards.

I would love you to follow the Kanban blog, we have lot's of exciting projects to show you from a fantastic, amazing design team.
