September 2025 Color Kitz | Enjoy | Stephanie Dang

  Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share my project using this month’s color kitz. If you would like to see more of my work or follow me, please find me at https://www.instagram.com/paperandi/ and https://paperandi07.blogspot.com. This kit is so fun and filled with beautiful splashes of yellow, green, orange, red, and turquoise. Perfect for documenting your summer festivities! You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

 


Step 1: Fussy cut the background with black circle and prep with gesso. Letting it dry.

Step 2: Mix Inklingz (Blue My Mind) with modeling paste and apply to a stencil on the paper. Let that dry. On two separate white cardstocks, spray the Vibez ( Fire & Spice and Sweetheart) on each cardstock. Die cut with butterfly dies and punch out stars with assorted star punches.


Step 3: Adhere that circle background to the yellow ray paper. Add the butterflies and stars off to the left side of page. Add the photos framed in white cardstock.


Step 4: Finish with embellishments and top with enamels.


Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints SEPTEMBER 2025 Color Kitz,  VIBEZ (Fire & Ice), VIBEZ (Sweetheart), Inklingz (Blue My Mind), modeling paste,  gesso, foam adhesive, and regular adhesive.

Take It Easy Using the September Color Kitz


 Hey all!  Nicole here with my first page using the September Color Kitz!  I am documenting a photo of me in my favorite room from TeamLabs Borderless in Tokyo.

I first cut the butterfly cut file that is exclusive for the Color Kitz out of kraft paper.  I then lightly traced it on a sheet of watercolor paper.  I used all the paints from the Kitz to make the background behind the butterfly.  Once dry I attached the butterfly to the page with foam tape.  I then attached my watercolor page to the yellow patterned paper as shown.


 

Next I added my photo to the right of the butterfly.  I then added a little cluster of embellishments from the kit next to my photo.

Lastly I added a little cluster to the top left of my page.  I cut out two strips of paper from the patterned papers, embellished with die cuts and then added some puffy stickers and a dot.

Thanks so much for coming on to read about my layout!  I hope it gets you in a crafty mood.  If you decided to grab this kit from the shop don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order!

Until next time, Nicole Santos

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, You Are Beautiful In All Of Your Ways

 

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                         treasures there!

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper.. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.
I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.
 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints. I rubbed on gold,and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 





To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls, feathers, crystals, glass glitter, and bling and metal from my stash. The fussy cut images are from Graphic 45 papers.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   


















Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!
