I bought last years Anna Griffin Christmas kit.I really couldn`t make my mind up then finally gave in.When it arrived I was cross with myself cos I didn`t really like it.I have used quite a few of the papers with other things but still have loads of the embellishments left.I keep looking then putting them back in the box cos I don`t really like them.One of those times when I should have taken notice of my first thought and not bought!

Was my fave too, and normally that type of stuff isn't my cup of tea at all. Have to say the few cards I made with it (cos I didnt want to part with too much of it) went down a storm :)

not sure if I'd like that to be the TSV or not. If it is the TSV my money is safe which is good as we have AG next month and Cosmo Cricket in September. Then again if it isn't the TSV, I'm worried that the real TSV might be something I NEED :rolleyes:

That sounds like it could be a craftybitz kit, which would be very tempting. However, I'm going to have my ususal moan and say that I wished they used at least A5 cards in kits instead of either A6 or 5x7!

Just wondering what it will be like. If its HOTP or K & Co, my money is safe as I have got lots that need using up. If its Anna Griffin, my cc is shaking!

Just had a look at the schedule for craft day and I suspect the TSV is a Jolly Nation xmas kit. There are separate decoupage and Jolly Nation hours on during the day.

That's definitely a HOTP kit! Thanks for the details. I won't be around to see it on Sat, but hope they'll be a pic up later in the week for a sneaky preview. I shouldn't order, but......if it's HOTP, I bet it will be gorgeous!

Jeanette

20-07-2008, 07:55 PM

I may have to be rational here. Firstly I wouldn't use any of the 80 card blanks or envelopes! Secondly I have stacks of HOTP Xmas papers to use up from the last TSV!! So that just leaves the embellishments and I still have heaps of those too. So have I talked myself out of it yet?.........Nope, not quite :D

I am quite disappointed there are no new Jollynation Xmas designs - their TSV was my favourite this year (so far).

luvtocraft

20-07-2008, 08:49 PM

I agree ROC I think it was probably mine as it had a mixture with the stamps decoupage and shrink plastic. I still have loads left but seem to have made loads as well. I didn't use any of the xmas designs last year so if there is a bargain this year I can buy without fear of duplicating.

As far as I know, the Jolly Nation Christmas offering this year is die cut sheets, featuring mostly existing Christmas characters, although there are a couple of new ones.

There is a new Christmas Patchwork Kingdom set though, due out within the next couple of weeks :)

Spendsloads

21-07-2008, 06:44 AM

I quite like the HOTP style, with all the ribbons and brads, though usually tweak the designs so the cards don't look quite so manufactured - and so I don't have to use all the 'Happy Holidays' greetings that half the cards usually have. I often also swap the cards to larger, better quality ones too as the HOTP ones are a bit on the flimsy side. I have large parts of the last two Christmas kits still at home, but know I will be tempted by all those brads....

daydreamer

21-07-2008, 08:10 AM

My CC will be safe if this is a HOTP :rolleyes: not keen on their stuff, especially the card quality which always seems on the ~flimsey~ side :(

21-07-2008, 11:16 AM

Oh. Dear. I quite like HOTP...And I always wanted the Xmas kit that was never available on it's own...I think what I need is the TSV price to be 30 quid & not on easy pay. Probably.

I really really really really really really don't need anymore Xmas crafty stuff...

I know what you mean about they cards being a little manufactured looking, but you don't have to follow the examples they use. I find them helpful sometimes cos this is the sort of card design that I can't get a grip on in my head IYSWIM

Its showing now

Make fun and festive cards for friends and family with this great-value Christmas craft set. It's brand new and has been designed exclusively for QVC. You'll receive 20 A4 sheets of foiled die cut card toppers and 10 A4 sheets of flittered die cut pyramage sheets, featuring Rudolph and snowman designs. Added to this you'll get 20 A4 sheets of foiled cardstock, including scroll, frost and bauble designs, eight sheets of adhesive foiled paper ribbon sentiments, four A4 sheets of mirror card and four organza ribbons for extra decoration.

Dips

25-07-2008, 02:49 PM

Don't like the sound of the toppers or the pyramage (don't even like that word), but the foiled cardstock may sound interesting, in which case I'll be popping over to Wins outlet to see if she has it!

Winspiration

25-07-2008, 02:55 PM

Lol - thank you Dips!

I'm struggling to remember what I ordered now, as it was ages ago :D

I definitely ordered all of the toppers, some of the foiled cardstock and some pop up cards, will have to wait and see what turns up :rolleyes: Kanban should be despatching next week sometime, so fingers crossed I may have it for next weekend.

Watched it last night and I do think it is lovely. Really liked all those foiled card. Kanban are doing very well now aren't they. Will have to keep an eye on Win's shop.

Dips

26-07-2008, 08:29 AM

I have to admit, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I think that the foiled card is lovely, I do like quite a few of the topper sheets and I really like the sheet with the elongated baubles on it. Personally, I am not at all keen on that pyramage thingy, and it really annoys me when companies call strips of printed card, Ribbon. It's not ribbon, it's card strips!!!!

nicecupoftea

26-07-2008, 08:52 AM

Oh rats! I knew I was going to like this. Can't justify spending £35 on it but I really do want it. It's not often I see a kit and like all the images in it and know I would use all the bits. Got so much Christmas stuff like everyone else. Hubby has told me it's alot of money as he could see me drooling through the repeat show this morning. Forces of logic came into play - I'm going to my parents on Wednesday night and won't be back for a week and a half. As it's QVC I know it won't be delivered before Wednesday and I don't want it sitting around the sorting office for so long. I daren't get it sent to my parents coz everyone will know I've bought it then. To add insult to injury one the images is of a fabulous Penfold post box. I'm so going to have to track that one down.

Dips

26-07-2008, 09:48 AM

Why don't you put one on cheque hold. That way, you can think about it in the cold light of day whilst your away and decide whether you really do want it or not. If don't, cancel it, if you do, get it delivered once you're back from your trip.

Anne

26-07-2008, 10:03 AM

Is there a layer missing from the pyramage cards? Certainly looks so to me.

3BC

26-07-2008, 11:15 AM

Have only just seen what is meant by pyramage- thought it was some strangely shaped card. I totally agree Dips, it's 'orrible- I don't mind decoupage, some of the images are lovely, but this 'squashed pointy' effort would not be welcome through my letter box. Not that it would fit.
And yes, ribbons are made from textiles not card.

Didn't actually mean this to be a grumpy post! Happy, happy, happy really!- especially if we get OTO's

All of them??

Wellington

26-07-2008, 12:59 PM

When I was watching the launch show I could see that there was a layer 'missing' I think it's obviously for a slightly different effect the the other pyrimage kits available (notable Stack Its)..I quite like a bit of pyrimage, depending on the image. But as I said before, I think I spotted only a couple of toppers that I liked - the long green bauble images come to mind - so there's little point in my buying the whole kit

Rentochops

26-07-2008, 01:06 PM

My problem with Kanban in general is all their products use just card, never shiny card or anything else for their toppers, I think they look dull! Not for me!

26-07-2008, 01:15 PM

There's foiling on these ones ROC - as there was on the 1920s ladies the other day.

Nor mine. Mind you it sat in process for three days until I gave them a kick up the bottom. :(

Well MIL bought the TSV round for me to split it with her. I'm going to have to eat my words here because I rather like the TSV now. There are some stunning pieces of artwork and the foil card is gorgeous. I found the spelling mistake but interestingly, the ideas sheet has a card made up in that design and the spelling is correct. I wonder if Kanban noticed it themselves and thought we wouldn't!!!!! My only grievance, is the way it is packed. You'd think all the foil card would be together, all the toppers together and all the pyramage together but no, it looks like its been shuffled. I thought MIL had done it but she says no!!
