Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty Bidford: Alison CT - Samples for the September 2025 Release

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my samples for the new release of Catalyst Collage Papers and Stamps.

For this sample I have used one of the A4 coneflower catalyst collage papers with two of the d'inkables from set 2 with distress oxide inks that match the colours in the paper; one of the texture discs from set 4 with texture paste; the new coneflower stamp set and wordy stickers from the 3B sheet.

For my second sample I have used one of the A5 coneflower catalyst collage papers, the 4" circle easy frame inkable mask with black soot distress oxide; the leaf d'inkable from set 14 with black soot distress oxide; the bee monarcht stamp set, the new journaling essentials 9 stamp set and a sentiment from the bee words wordy stickers.

For my third sample I have used one of the A4 birds and sunflowers catalyst collage papers with the Doodle Art coneflower, sunflower and dandedaisy stamp sets; one of the inkable tags from set 6 with texture paste; the dragonfly stamp set and wordy stickers 3.

For my fourth sample I cut down one of the A5 birds and sunflowers catalyst collage papers to fit my 6" journal. I simply added a few areas of grey stamping using stamps from the new journaling essentials 9 set and added a sentiment from the small words wordage stamp set.

For my fifth sample I created three ATCs using one of the A5 painted petals and portraits catalyst collage papers (one without a portrait). I added stamping to the background using the new journaling essentials 9 with distress oxides. I stamped the flower and branch from the set, coloured them and cut them out before adding one to each atc. I added a sentiment from wordy stickers 1 to each atc.

For my sixth sample I usedone of the A5 birds and sunflowers catalyst collage papers to create a page in my 4" art journal. I added some stamping to the page using the journaling essentials 9 stamp set and outlined the bird with white pen. The sentiment is from the wordy stickers 3.

For my final sample I have used one of the A5 painted petals and portraits catalyst collage papers from which I cut out the portrait and flowers. I used distress oxides to create a background and added areas from the basket weave 6"inkable. I created a border and background stamping using stamps from the new journaling essentials 9 set. I then added two of the everyday sentiments.
