boring TSV? anyone agree

[lynnieb]

i was expecting a really exciting TSV but it was a damp squib. Kanban yet again (the Michelle Marsden of QVC?) and not very inspring. there was too much already done for you, resulting in home made not hand made cards. maybe a better one next time...

I liked the TSV - I will use the toppers to make up my own A5 or A4 size cards and know lots of relatives who would really like to receive a card design from this set. There are a couple of designs that I really don't like - namely the cartoon Elvis, but that is only a small part of the kit which is worth over £80 and which I have paid £27 plus p&p for. The colours, foiling and quality of this kit will appeal to my nieces too, so I will be able to give them a few sheets to play with in half term.

I think this particular kit would have sold better if it hadn't been released so near to the last Kanban kit, which I also bought. The quality is really good, just the format is a bit samey. I'm really loving the kits Kanban are producing at the moment, I'm really into the black and white, foiling, art deco and large card kits they are doing.

I've never got into the whole grunge, distressed, vintage stuff that is popular right now so I'm saving a fortune on the Tim Holtz and Graphicus ranges of powders, sprays, inks, melting pots etc. :)

Yikes peeps, we've already got 2 (long) threads running about craft day & the TSV Your thoughts might get lost if you start another thread about the same thing...;)

I loved the Art Deco ladies and the oriental kits (one that has still no pictures on the website), the cardstock is so thick it's a joy to use as it doesn't need backing. Having said that this last TSV wasn't my cup of tea but I went for the other oriental kit that sold out without being seen (well almost). So I'm looking forward to receiving it.

I thought that the designs looked nice and it was a good concept. But i don't buy card kits, I've got 3 or 4 already and can't see myself using them much as I like stamping and colouring in. So I just cannabalise the kits I've got for materials.
The Kanban kits are nice, but I wonder how well they would do as a business if it weren't for QVC?

I didnt like the TSV but I have bought Kanban kits in the past and the quality is great I bought the large decoupage kit before christmas and the christmas cards went down a storm especially the art deco lady (I would buy a large decoupage kit of just those designs) My sons birthday card was also made from tha kit and he loved it . There was a deco ladies kit on craft day that I swithered about but it sold out (I am stillswithering over the Di Kaye CD which has some lovely deco images)
I think QVC are falling into the same trap that CaC are They find a formula that sells (kanban concept type cards for QVC die cut decoupage for CaC) and they flog it to death.
I hope there is a scrap booking TSV soon as even though I am not a scrap booker myself its good to see something different. I did enjoy the Tim Holz demos that were on recently

Would be interested to know what you think of the oriental kit. The small amount we saw looked lovely, love oriental, seemed a good price too.
