Papercrafter Mag 153 - Kanban Vintage Christmas Kit

 I loved the Kenban Vintage Christmas card kit that comes free with this months Papercrafter Mag and these are the first cards I have made using the die cuts from the kit

They have a lovely traditional feel to them, ideal for my older relatives!

Plus this fab  golden sparkly robin background paper!

Something for the boys!

Birthday cards made with the Kanban T Shirt Toppers and some button embellishments - for those 'difficult' teenagers and young men in the family!

Simply Cards Magazine ....

Was chuffed to see one of my cards featured in this months Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine when it popped through the door this morning - it's the black T-shirt card. 

The Kanban T shirt toppers have been great to make up birthday cards for the teenagers and men who don't want to have cars or sports on their cards

T Shirt Cards for the Men in My Life!

I picked up a bargain sheet of Mens T shirt die-cut toppers made by Kanban for only 99p from eBay.


Men are so hard to make for aren't they, especially those who don't like football, sport or fast cars. 


I thought these would be good for those teenagers and young men in the family, after all, they all wear t shirts constantly.


I also used up lots of scraps of paper, matching them to the different colours of the t shirts. 


I'm now off to take daughter to the Mini-farm they are holding in the centre of Stowmarket today, she is looking forward to feeding the goats, stroking the pony and holding a chick. Afterwards we will probably take a picnic to Needham Lake and feed the ducks.

Another eBay Bargain!

I picked up 4 sheets of Kanban Jungle Buddies toppers for only 99p from eBay this week. 

I thought they would be useful of older childrens cards  (7-12 years olds). I struggle with ideas for them as they don't want really want babiesh cute cards, do they!

  

Loads of Men !!

I had the day off today and spent the morning watching daughter at her sports day - it was very cold! I then popped into my local craft shop to get my ticket for a local papercraft show on Sunday and spotted a set of Kanban male word toppers which matched the free papers from Creating Cards magazine which then just fell into my basket.
I then spent the afternoon trying to warm up by making these cards. Just like buses, the inspiration for cards for men seem to come along together!!

Kanban Birds

I took a trip to Bury St Edmunds today and just had to pop into the 2 very good craft shops there! I picked up some great sentiments and colour-me ovals from Craftwork cards and this set of bird toppers from Kanban. My mother loves wrens and so the orange card will be for her birthday later this month. I am taking her on a weekend trip to London to see the Titanic artifacts exhibition at the O2!
