Sally CT - Time flies when you're crafting!

 

Hi There! I am here with a super quick vintage journal page in my mini journal today.

I began by cutting a piece of the greyscale ledger catalyst card and inking around it using vintage photo distress oxide ink. 

Next I sprayed a tag inkable using bundled sage distress oxide spray and laid it onto the page. 

Once this was dry, I splattered the page with walnut stain Distress Oxide spray. 

Using versafine Clair Avocado ink I stamped the cogs randomly around the page.

I also stamped some clocks in sand dune too. 

to finish the background I added some stitched border stamping using portobello ink. 

I cut the sentiment from the transparency sheet and added it using matte medium.

on a scrap of catalyst card and a scrap of kraft card I stamped a clock and the doodle art butterfly, Embossing in clear and cutting them out. 

Finally I added these to the page using matte medium. 

Here is the finished page again....

...and next to it's partner in the journal.

5x5 notebook journal

Catalyst cards set #4 greyscale and set 1 full colour (A5)

Alison - March 2025 Release Samples

Hi everyone today I'm sharing my samples for the new clocks stamps and catalyst cards release. 

For my first sample, I have used a mix of the greyscale and full colour A6 catalyst cards from set 4 to create the background. I then stamped the clock, leaves and bird onto another piece of the full colour card. After cutting them out I glued them to the card. I added one of the new Transparency Prints sentiments.

For my second sample, I have used one of the A5 full colour catalyst cards from set 3 to create the background. I stamped the clocks from both new sets and the flowers and leaves from Journaling Essentials 2 and 4. I cut these out, then glued them to the card. I added a Transparency Prints sentiment, which I glued to a piece of card before sticking it on. 

For my third sample, I cut a puece of A5 full colour catalyst card, from set 3, to fit my card blank and glued it in place. I stamped the sentiment and cogs directly to the background using a black ink. I then cut a strip of A6 set 3 catalyst card and inking only the word TIME I stamped this on to it, not worrying if it was perfect. I glued this strip to a piece of white card then added it to the card. I used a black ink to stamp the three clocks from the Time is Free stamp set. Having cut them out I added them to the card.

For my fourth sample, I cut a piece of the A5 greyscale catalyst card from set 4 to fit my card blank. I stamped the click, cogs and sentiment directly to the catalyst card using Versafine Clair Strawberry ink. I added the sketchy bird, which I had in my stash.

For my final sample, I cut the white edges off one of the greyscale catalyst cards from set 3. I used stamps from the Ledger and Nibs, Stitched Borders, Script, and Wasted Time to create a background. I then stamped, on seperate card, the Rainbow Bird and a selection of worker stamps from the stamp sets listed below. Having cut these out I then glued them a shown in the photo. I added one of the Transparency Prints sentiments to finish the card.

Calee CT -March 25 New Release samples

Hello  , this week for my blog I’m sharing some of my samples from the fabulous new Clocks and Catalyst- March 25 release .

For this first one , a tag with a vintage feel . I used stamps from both the Time is Free and Wasted Time sets , stamping them on to a bright catalyst card . These are on a vintage style background created with the same stamps .

 

The next is a concertina style card using one catalyst card to make 4 similar but different panels . On to this I added some texture paste and then again using stamps from both of  the new sets and lots of bits from my bit box . I worked on all 4 panels at the same to time to help me achieve a good mix of elements .

This journal page was my first sample using the ledger style pages , This is a style I haven’t really crafted with much before , but found I real like them , in fact I sat for ages just flicking through them and enjoyed  that nearly as much as my crafting !

Hoping to make this feel more like an old page I curled the corners and used vintage colours , just adding a pop of colour with the Doodle Art dragon fly.  

 This is a small canvas , I wanted to create a piece that had lots of texture , so felt that a canvas would take lots of texture paste , glue, and paint . This has  elements from the catalyst card and lots of  stamped cogs ( these were a bit of a challenge to cut out ! ) along with the 3 clocks from the Time is Free stamp set . This was all layered up with the addition of some fabric flowers for more texture . 

This is a very simple card , but I think just as effective as some of my other samples . Just few spritzes of some distress sprays and the clock from the Wasted Time stamp set and sentiment from Time is Free stamp set . Stamped directly on to the background . 

This I think is my favourite sample and again fairly simple to make , most of the work was already done for me with these gorgeous catalysts cards  .This large clock from the Wasted Time set  is a great main feature, so I just added 3 butterflies to complement it . 

This last sample is again full of colour , you will have noticed I can’t resist the bright colours of the catalyst cards and there are some gorgeous ones in this new  release. I topped the two panels with the smaller clocks and cogs in the collection , just adding a little colour here  and there. Finished with a sentiment from the transparencies . 

I hope you have enjoyed looking through my samples as much as I enjoyed making them . There are so many lovely  products in this release , absolutely something for everyone , whatever your style of crafting , the possibilities are endless . 

Happy crafting 

Calee

Sally CT - Samples for March 2025 New Products

 

Hi There! Yesterday we had a fabulous time launching two brand new stamp sets, 2 new sets of Catalyst cards with 3 sizes and full colour or greyscale options and some gorgeous transparency sentiments. My first card was created during my facebook live which you can find here for the next 30 days.  

The new Catalyst cards are absolutely gorgeous and it is very easy to create a quick and simple card like this with them. 

In my journal I created a rainbow background with dylusions paints then used the stamps and transparencies to create these pages.

By stamping a panel of card with the clocks and cogs, I made this clean and simple card. 

This z fold card showcases another of the stunning papers and one of the stamp sentiments. The clock was coloured using inks blended through 2 different texture discs. 

The brand new ledger catalyst cards were perfect for this vintage effect card.

I love the colours on this catalyst card! A perfect backdrop for the simply stamped and embossed clocks. 

I smooshed some ink onto a piece of card that was a perfect fit for the large clock with just enough space for the sentiment. I also added some stamped cogs to that gorgeous design of catalyst card. 

Finally this rainbow card was made by brushing ecoline inks over a piece of watercolour card and adding a few sprinkles of salt. Once it was dry I stamped the clocks and cogs and added the transparency sentiment. 

The new stamps, transparencies and catalyst cards can be found on the website following this link:

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this tag using dies, a wordy sticker, a catalyst card and one stamp set. 

To begin, use the tags and banner dies to create a tag. Cut the largest tag from black card and the next size down from one of the catalyst cards.

Using the small 5 circles stamp from the Dandedaisy stamp set with versafine clair nocturne ink, create a border around the catalyst card tag.

Glue the catalyst card tag to the black tag.

On a piece of black card stamp the larger Dandedaisy using embossing ink and heat emboss using Ranger white embossing powder. Colour with pencil crayons. Cut out leaving a small black border.

Add the Dandedaisy to the tag using foam pads.

Add a sentiment by cutting down one of the wordy stickers from sheet 3 and stick to black card. Cut this out with a small black border and use foam pads to stick it to the tag.

Calee CT - Sunflowers

Hi , today I have a Doodle Art Sunflower filled journal page to share with you . I grow Sunflowers every year , they are one of my favourite flowers , so this stamp gets lots of outings in my crafting 

Firstly I chose this grey scale catalyst card from # 2 set ,  as my background. I loved the large petal areas that I could add colours to 

Using my go to Ecoline pens in 3 vibrant  colours ,  adding little water and using a small paint brush , I coloured different areas of each flower . 

To define the edge of my page and draw the eye inwards I chose the distress ink in Blue Print Sketch , as it’s a great contrast to all the  colours on this page . Feeling that my background then needed more of this colour , I inked through this D’inkable from set 14

Next it was time to work on my sunflowers , for this I stamped on to another catalyst card , this time using one in a sunflower colour palette from set # 1. This I did 3 times and also stamped the stem separately on some watercolour card , to colour in shades of green . 

Taking another look at my page I decided to add more to my background . You may have noticed I do tend to throw a lot at the backgrounds on my projects , I’m definitely not a less is more kind of crafter ! 

So using this border stamp from the Doodle Sunflower , a black fine liner and white gel pen , I carried on adding details until I was happy with my page . 

I took my sentiment from the Ticket Tape 1 set and after cutting it into 3 pieces , I mounted it on to black card and was ready to stick everything down onto my journal page.

This is the page I ended up with . I hope you like it , below is a list of products I used 

Catalyst cards : #2 Grey scale       

      A6               #1 Full colour.      

   D’inkables set 14.
