Kanban Clear Stamps/Lili of the Valley

[Christiana]

Hello ladies,
I randomly came across this stamp set today and thought it was absolutely darling, but can't seem to find anywhere that sells it that also ships to the States. Does anyone know anything about it?

It's listed as Kanban Clear Stamps -- Annabel, but it sure looks like a Lili of the Valley design to me. Except it's a clear stamp instead of unmounted rubber. But I could swear the designer is the same.

Any info or help would be much appreciated!

I've never heard of that company, but some of the images sure are cute!

I saw those at FunkyKits, which is a UK company - seriously adorable! Not sure about a US source, though.

I saw those at Funkykits too and I thought there was a resemblance to Lily of the Valley stamps. It is quite possible that the same designer is licensing out her images to several different stamp companies. Rachelle A. Miller and Elisabeth Bell do the same thing

Kanban is sold a lot on the QVC shopping channel here in the UK. They started out, I believe, a few years ago with printed papers, then decoupage and now into clear stamps. I ordered 2 sets from Funky Kits. They are clear acrylic, not the better quality polymer, and stamped reasonably well - there's not the detail I've come to expect from the Lili of the Valley designs which are so similar. I've made cards with most of the designs on the 2 sets I got - and they come with some fabulous texts and little extra bits. If you'd like to see what I've done with them just click on the Kanban name on the side bar under the list of Stamp Companies on my blog. Or, as I've only had them a few weeks you could trawl through my posts, you wont have to go back very far. I'll try to get around to posting the cards in my gallery here after the weekend.

THese stamps are the same as Lili of the Valley- I emailed LOTV and asked as they are sold online at Joanns. I own a zillion LOTV stamps- just love them- and they said that the artists can sell their designs to other companies. Kanban is one of them. I bought a sheet of clear stamps from Joanns online. I do prefer the rubber more but these are just as cute and you get more for your $$. Here is the link. You may find more stamps that resemble other stamp lines as well sold by Kanban.
