New Autumn themed Goodies!

 

Hi There! On Monday Bev and Sam were on Craft Unlimited Live TV with some brand new goodies! I absolutely love the Stamps and Catalyst Collage papers - they are very me!  Here are the samples I made with them. My First card was simply stamped and heat embossed in gold using the Autumn Floral stamp set. 

I used the A4 Catalyst Collage Pumpkin Season papers to cover this tag and then added some die cut circles and Mushrooms from the Autumn and Acorns stamp set. The sentiment is from the Autumn Florals stamp set.

My next card was my personal favourite from the ones I have made so far. I used dinkables to add ink to the base card and added some stamping around the easy frame circle outline. I coloured a range of leaves and acorns from the Autumn and Acorns stamp set and layered these on using 3d glue to make a semi circle. 

Here is a card featuring the beautiful Sunflower from the Autumn Florals stamp set, which I stamped in Versafine Clair Sand Dune and coloured in ecoline pens to create a no line effect. I layered it onto some of the beautiful Pumpkin Season Catalyst Collage papers

Finally, another card created over a background sprayed with Distress oxide sprays in Rustic Wilderness, Crackling Campfire and Fossilized Amber. Once this was dry I stamped it using the Versafine Clair Sand Dune ink before adding a ribbon and some Coloured leaves and acorn that I cut out and added using 3d glue. 

You can find the New Stamps and papers in the Autumn 2026 section on the website, or individually

Painted Gaze

 

Hi There! I have a very painty journal page for you today! Here's how I did it. 

I began by tearing the image from the A4 Painted Gaze index sheet and added to the page using matte medium. 

Next, I selected 3 similar paint colours ( I used Dylusions Peony Blush, Lemon Zest and Blue Lagoon) and painted patches of colour across both pages. 

I then added a patch of Black gesso to the right page, placed the 6x6" inkable over it and used a damp cloth to lift some of the gesso from the page. 

Using the Dinkables dot stencil, I added some more black gesso to both pages before adding some marks using dylusions Tangerine Dream paint and a brush. 

Then I added a few more marks with a black sharpie. 

Finally, I added a wordy Sticker sentiment and some gelly roll moonlight faux stitching around them. 

Here are the finished pages once more. Shocked myself because I realised I didn't stamp on it at all!!! It would, however, fit the theme of the current Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group Challenge.

I used:

Bee Crafty Catalyst Collage papers - Painted Gaze A4

6x6" inkable - Swirling Circle

Dinkables Set 2

Wordy Stickers 3

Black Gesso

Black Sharpie

Gelly Roll Moonlight Pens

Dylusions paint - Peony Blush, Lemon Zest, Blue Lagoon and Tangerine Dream

Flowers in her hair

Hi There! I am loving spending time art journaling at the moment, so here is a double page spread I have been working on, and how it came together. 
 

I began by tearing around one of the Rainbow Thoughts A5 Catalyst Collage papers to fit it into a 5x5" journal. I stuck it to the page using Matte Medium. 

Next, I selected Distress Oxide inks in Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, Prize Ribbon and Carved Pumpkin. Using a damp paint brush I extended her hair from the collage paper across the second page.  

I used the same colours of ink to stamp two of the smaller doodle Art Mandalas over the inked page. 

Whilst the background was drying, I stamped a selection of flowers from Doodle Art Blooming Blooms and Journaling Essentials #4 stamp sets. I coloured them using ecoline and Gelly Roll Moonlight pens and cut them out. 

I attached these to the right hand page using matte medium. 

I also stamped some of the smallest Blooming Blooms flowers in grey versafine Clair ink in the spaces.

I added a sentiment to the page and coloured in the centres of the small flowers using a gelly roll moonlight pen. 

Here's the finished pages again. 

I used:

Oodles of Circles

 

Hi There! We have a new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group with a theme of circles. Here's how my circles journal page came together. 

I began by sponging some Broken China distress oxide ink down the centre of the pages. 

Next, I sprayed a circle dinkable with water, laid it onto the oxide ink and then mopped up the excess water with kitchen towel. 

Once this was dry, I added some Rainbow Bubbles catalyst collage paper on each side with matte medium. I left a gap on the right hand page for the next step. 

I cut out some circles from a sheet of the Circles and Butterflies Catalyst Collage paper and added them to the page, including in the gap I left on the right page.

I cut around the edge of the circles on the edge of the page. 

Using a posca pen and the dinkable from earlier, I added some more circles to the page. 

I used some of the circle stamps from Journaling essentials set 1, along with coordinating Distress Oxide inks to add some subtle stamping to the page.

On a separate sheet of card, I stamped half of the large gerbera and 3 small ones in black versafine clair ink. I coloured them using Dina Wakley gloss drops and cut them out. 

Finally, I added these and a wordy sticker sentiment to the pages using matte medium. 

Here are the finished pages once more.

Catalyst Collage papers - I used Rainbow Bubbles and Circles and Butterflies in A5
