My second project this week is a wall hanging, which is now hanging in my craft room. I have used the gorgeous new 'Walk With Me' collection. As soon as I saw the gorgeous scenery toppers I just knew I wanted to make a picture. Out came my watercolour paints and card. I have made my own background using the paints to mount the topper onto this.

My Kanban Design Team Projects....

Hello lovelies,

 

Wow where do the week's go? Time flies past. Another Saturday which means it's another post from me to share my KANBAN  Design Team Creations.

 

I am sure that most of you KANBAN fans will have ordered the fabulous Pick of the Day or the Blockbuster that was demonstrated on Create & Craft TV last week. I ordered mine and I absolutely love it. I just knew I wanted to use the Blockbuster for this week's design team makes.

 

My first project is a Twisted Easel card, now one of my client's commissioned me to make a Silver Wedding Anniversary card for her son. I was asked to personalise it by adding their names. I have used the Blockbuster Love & Marriage collection, using the Silver Wedding elements from this kit. The elements I have used are from the following .....

 

Silver Celebration Papercraft Toppers 901535. I have also used Kanban Foiled Background card and Kanban bling self adhesive gems in sizes 3mm and 5mm. I have printed the personalised text on my computer and used Bradley Hand font.......

 



 

My next card is a New Home card using the Well Wishes & Celebrations kit. I have used the...

 

No Place Like Home Paper Craft Toppers 901564

and the

Well Wishes & Celebrations Paper Pad 901577

 

I have made a flower using Kanban tissue paper and gems and embellished with a strip of Kanban self adhesive ribbon .....

   

 

My final project for this week is a Baby Girl card. Now I am a girly girl, so when I saw this I could not resist using pink lol. I have used the Birth & Celebrations kit and the

 

Baby Girl Paper Craft Toppers 901541

and

Sugar and Spice Paper Craft Toppers 901540

 and also the

Births & Celebrations Paper Pad 901558

 

I have used ruched ribbon to embellish around the edges.....

  

 

I absolutely love all these collections, they cover all occasions and there is something for everyone.

 

Now don't forget to join the WE LOVE KANBAN GROUP on Facebook, it's a fantastic friendly group for all you Kanban lover's. So much inspiration too as lot's of lovely crafter's add their recent Kanban creation's along with the Kanban design team. To also 'LIKE' the KANBAN PAGE on Facebook click HERE
