Kensington

Good afternoon, I hope you are all ok. What a muppet I am. I sat last Sunday evening before I went to bed (well it was probably nearer 2 o'clock on Monday morning!!) and compiled this post and forgot to publish it, ha ha. I thought I would do it quickly now then in a while I shall show you some of the Blooming Marvellous DT makes from this morning's show. I'm going to dash for now because Sue and Keith have just started another Blooming Marvellous Weekender show on Create and Craft. See you in a while.

Hi everyone, so as I mentioned yesterday, Sue and Keith are showcasing yet another new kit on Create and Craft tomorrow. This one is called Kensington and it is stunning, all golds and creams and black....gorgeous! The programmes are on at 11.00 am and 7.00 pm.

Here are a couple of ideas to whet your appetites :).These first two pictures are of the main kit

 The next picture is of the 8" x 8" paper pad which is brilliant as a stand alone pad but it works fabulously with the main kit. 

Also available is the lovely pack of foiled and embossed card stock!

Sneaky peek :)

Afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a lovely Sunday despite the usual gloomy weather for this time of year in the UK!

We have two new shows, with a beautiful kit from Kanban, for you on Create and Craft on Tuesday 24th November and they are at 11 o'clock in the morning with Rachel Pierman and at 7 o'clock in the evening with Dean Wilson. 

And a couple of those peeks I mentioned ;) ........

There you are, I hope you will be able to drop in and spend a couple of hours in the company of Sue and Keith.

Thanks for dropping by :)

Back soon xx

Design Team samples

Did you watch the show at eight o'clock this morning on Create and Craft? Denise, Keith and Howard were all brilliant and the Kanban stock was selling fast. Did you manage to order what you wanted? I got the assorted blank card and two packs of kraft card and used my £10 off membership discount code :)

So onto the samples

I hope you like our samples and they give you just a little inspiration. Please don't forget to pop back to Create and Craft at 1.00 pm and join Denise and Keith wth Dean!! Take care and Happy Crafting :) 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

What am I?

Good afternoon on this thoroughly miserable Sunday afternoon. It's the perfect weather for being locked in a craft room :)

I've just dropped by to let you know about a couple of new shows which will be on the air on Create and Craft on Tuesday 17th November. This time it will be Denise who will be trying to keep Keith under control as she demos a super new kit at 8.00 am with Howard (I haven't seen him for a while) and at 1.00 pm with Dean (!) (good luck with this one Denise:))

So, I have a little challenge for you all. Tell me what you think the subject of this kit might be, or even the title ;), and I will send the first person who gets the nearest correct answer a little Kanban gift from my own collection. The challenge will close at 10.00 pm tonight and I wish you all good luck! 

See you later x

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.

More Deco Ladies

Hi from this miserable, foggy part of the country. Not very good to get up to on a Monday morning! I hope everyone is ok.

Did you get to see any of the shows on Friday and Saturday? Did you manage to order any goodies? I bought the cards and inserts set and they arrived this morning!! I ordered something else from C & C last week and there is no sign of it lol Also, did you know that you can still watch the programmes by going to the Create And Craft, click on the box with the date in it and just take the date back to 30th October or which ever demos you would like to see again. Then you need to find the program,me you were looking for just click on the small arrow between the programme ane and the presenter's name and Bob's your uncle lol

I've got some of the Deco Ladies DT samples from the show and they are fab.....we all really loved working with this kit.
