ESAD Holiday Catalogue 2018

Hello and welcome to another wonderful ESAD hop. 

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. You have most likely arrived from this clever ladies blog - Lou Kitzelmen

Today we are focusing our creative abilities on some of the stunning products now available in the just released 2018 Holiday Catalogue.
 I have a button further down for you to continue moving through to the next lovely designer in the hop when you have finished looking here. 

I have chosen to use an Embossing Folder that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue and has now become a fast favourite and a go to for my backgrounds and elements.

 'Tin Tile' Dynamic TIEF

It's called the 'Tin Tile' Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)

I have paired this with a stamp set from the Annual Catty called 'Country Lane'.

Here is my project

Happy Birthday

#kocreationscards #tintiledynamictief #2018holidaycatalogue #stampinup30 #masculinecards #birthdaycards #mensbirthday #cardmaking #countryroad

Just look at all of that texture!

The Embossing folder creates an amazing background piece. I used the folder on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and then did a little distressing work using some new Shimmer Paint (found on page 38). I have used 'Frost White' (#147046) and applied it with a Sponge Dauber. I then rubbed Memento Tuxedo Black Ink over the top with another Sponge Dauber to grunge it up and add character. I curled the opposing edges and glued to the 'Thick Whisper White' card base.

You Will Always Be Number 1 - #GDP074

Welcome back crafter's :)

 For my projects today I went with a more masculine feel...I was actually planning to enter them into the International Blog Highlights but that theme is "Get Well Soon"

As you can see, the card projects don't quite fit the theme!

#Urbunundergroundsuite #Malecards #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Mensbirthday #Fathersday

I read it and I read it properly too I might add lol...thought oh yeah I can do that...then made my cards with out even thinking of the theme...Not even once!!!!! Typical, just had an idea and ran with it  Oh well lol...

I then went perusing through Global Designs Projects to see who had been chosen last week as Guest Designer...

And found a sketch challenge for this week! #GDP074

LOOK

Woohoo I had a project ready made, Go me!

You can should check out last weeks creative challenge too!

The Design Team chose some gorgeous projects.

Ok enough chit chat from me :)

Here they are.

You Will Always Be NUMBER ONE

Card 1

#Urbunundergroundsuite #Malecards #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Mensbirthday #Fathersday

Both of these cards was created using items from the Urban Underground Suite.  

You may see slight differences with each card as I alternated the colours for the tag and banner for each card + I used different threads behind the sentiments.  The one above has Very Vanilla bakers twine while the one below has Black Metallic thread. 

Just for another little change I used differing embellishments for each focal area too.

Card 2

#Urbunundergroundsuite #Malecards #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Mensbirthday #Fathersday

My card base for both cards is Basic Black. The front layers being the Very Vanilla circles DSP . 

The card directly above has the addition of silver foil as an extra layer which has then been adhered to the base using dimensionals  

For the focal area I used the Tags and Labels Framelits die and layered my ephemera over the top.

All items from the Urban Underground Suite can be found on page 47 of the Occasions Catalogue.
