The first two cards feature the greyscale catalyst cards and the birds from Journaling Essentials #6. It is so easy to add a pop of colour to the greyscale cards using either ink or the coloured papers.
Both of the new stamp sets are so gorgeous! The bold silhouette stamps are great for inking up in more than one colour, and the outline stamps are great for colouring in using your favourite mediums. They can be teamed up with the catalyst cards or your own inky backgrounds.
The wordy stickers are great as sentiments for cards or journal pages.
For this inky background I used some of the new dinkables
If you look closely at the background of this card you can see the leaf stamped in the smaller size found on the Journaling Essentials #2 stamp set.
The leaf outline stickers are great for embossing like the white on black I did here.
Both of these cards were made using the transparencies that come in a larger size than the stamps. Again they look great against the catalyst cards or your own inky background.
I used several of the new d'inkables and also some of the worker stamps in this inky background.
Finally, here is my first attempt using the book binding kit. It is a really fabulous kit and I can see myself making lots of them! The Catalyst cards are the perfect size to add to the cover and the book can be stitched to hold the pages, or elastic added so the pages are removeable.
