Kanban Loralie card

Love them or hate them (and they do tend to provoke strong views) Kanban Loralie Designs are certainly different! The kits, designed by US designer Loralie Harris, have sold out in minutes when aired on QVC.

I made the A5 sized card above using one of the die cut stacker sheets from the Loralie Paris range and picked out the centre of the flowers in the stacker design with red Kanban Bling. The other main embellishment is a chipboard flower, which I put through a Xyron to make it sticky, then coated with different shades of pink and silver ultra fine art glitter, finishing off with a red jewel brad centre. I also added a card art greetings banner.

You can check out Loralie Harris's website here.

New Kanban goodies - Big Head card kits, Woolly Bears, Loralie Paris, Spring Garden, Bird of Paradise

Lots of great new Kanban goodies, as seen on the QVC shopping channel, have arrived in store at Foil Play! Check out these cute Woolly Bears die cut topper sheets. Have fun creating your own scenes by dressing up the bears, and placing them on the die cut postcard backgrounds, with additional co-ordinating topper elements, including sentiments.
Also new and unusual are these big head cards - each pack contains a die cut card in the shape of a head, and a sheet of die cut toppers to complete the finished card. Designs available include fireman, policeman, soldier, guardsman, hair stylist, rock chick, gardener and nurse.
The Birds of Paradise collection has a selection of gorgeous and classy monochrome foiled toppers, sentiments and co-ordinating cardstock.
The Spring Garden collection includes a selection of gorgeous floral and butterfly toppers, with co-ordinating cardstock.
Also available for the first time from Kanban, two sets of beautiful clear stamps, in a choice of Autumn or Spring Garden (pictured). Check out those lovely swirly trees!
Lorelei Designs have a Paris Holiday theme this month, with a great selection of topper and stacker sheets and co-ordinating foiled card stock.
As always, at Foil Play you can pick and choose the designs that you like and will actually use, rather than investing in a huge kit. If you already have a kit, you might like to stock up on a few extra of the designs you particularly like.

Kanban: Lorelei Fairies, Woodland Matryoshka, Victorian Garden Stackers, Monochrome Shabby Chic

Lots of gorgeous new Kanban goodies are now in store at Foil Play, I've also stocked up on Christmas toppers, cardstock and embellishments. As always, at Foil Play you can pick and choose the designs that you like and will actually use, rather than investing in a huge kit. If you already have a kit, you might like to stock up on a few extra of the designs you particularly like.

First up is a selection of cute Matryoshka woodland toppers - including some gorgeous owls, birds, dogs and cats. Each topper sheet comes in a pack with a sheet of perfectly co-ordinating cardstock.
The latest Lorelei designs are her beautiful fairies - there is a selection of topper sheets and some lovely Fairyscape backgrounds, which could be used for a wider variety of card projects too, like the very popular winter and everyday Artscapes designs.
Shabby Chic is back - this time the popular topper designs have been produced in monochrome, with some very chic co-ordinating cardstock. The toppers and many of the cardstock designs are foiled in silver, some have silver holographic foiling as an extra special touch.
If you loved the jewel collection of foiled mirri card and paper when it featured on QVC, many of the designs are now available at Foil Play in colour co-ordinated twin packs of foiled mirri card and pearlescent paper. If you want to add a touch of glamour to your cardmaking, look no further!
Last but not least, check out these beautiful Victorian floral stacker designs. Most of the stacker sheets come in a pack with a sheet of perfectly co-ordinating cardstock.
I do have a few additional sheets of the stackers and co-ordinating cardstock (not released to general retail) available individually - these are limited in stock though, so please don't delay if you like the look of them.

New Kanban Christmas, Loralie and Matryoshka dolls goodies

Lots of gorgeous new Kanban goodies are now in store at Foil Play, including plenty of delicious Christmas cardstock and embellishments. As always, at Foil Play you can pick and choose the designs that you like and will actually use, rather than investing in a huge kit. If you already have the kit, you might like to stock up on a few extra of the designs you particularly like. P&P is free on all orders over £5.00.
Firstly, new Christmas colourways for the Duo Reflections range, a series of perfectly co-ordinating card, acetate and printed mirri card. For Christmas, there is also a selection of co-ordinating die cut reflective ribbons and tags.

The Christmas duo reflections designs are:
  • Starburst Swirls in aqua & navy;
  • Holly Swirls in pink & purple;
  • Swirls & Stars in silver & red; and
  • Twinkling Stars in gold & green.
Four new Christmas greetings topper sheets are available: monochrome or red & green small tartan tags and large Christmas verses in either blue or red and green. Greetings toppers can provide the finishing touch to your project, the large verse toppers could form the centrepiece.
The everyday Artscape card sheets have proved very popular and make great backings for scenes using Patchwork Pals (kits which are exclusive to QVC at present). Four lovely new winter designs are now available:
  • Winter Fence;
  • Winter Wall;
  • Winter Brick Wall; and
  • Winter Dale (pictured above).
These gorgeous snowflake embellishments would make a beautiful finishing touch. Each self adhesive snowflake is delicately glittered, with a gem centre. Two of the snowflakes have tiny gems at the edges too.
I now have all of the beautiful reflective and pearlescent card designs in stock from the recent QVC Craft Day card option TSV. Some designs are limited stock, as not all are available to retail. There is a delicious selection of foiled and printed designs. You can use the whole sheet folded for a really luxurious A5 card blank, or use smaller amounts as design elements or for matting and layering to bring a touch of elegance and sparkle to more cards.
The new reflective and pearlescent card co-ordinates beautifully with all the die cut Christmas topper sheets already in stock from the QVC Craft Day toppers option TSV (available at QVC on waitlist only).
Looking for something quirky and different? Try the Loralie designs Ladycats and Gypsy Chic die cut topper sheets.
There is a selection of Christmas and everyday Ladycats sheets and gorgeous co-ordinating background card is available for both the Ladycats and Gypsy Chic designs.
Matryoshka Dolls are also new - you may have seen these in another QVC sell out kit (available at QVC on waitlist only). These cute foiled and die cut topper sheets and co-ordinating card are ideal for cards for children, featuring cute farm yard animals, spaceships (pictured above) frogs, bees, pirates, gnomes and lollipop kids.

New in the card section, is a series of printed card, mirri card and acetate, with matching Duo Designs, like the one below.
Something else which is very unusual, these sheets of enamel glazed card, beautiful designs (which remind me of William Morris patterns) with texture and sparkle.
