Candy Corn Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

 Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout using the October Color Kitz!  I'm using paper, die cuts, and of course the paints to make this fun mixed media layout!  I'm documenting the little boo baskets that I made for my "gouls" last Halloween!

 

The first thing that I did was use all the paints from the kit to make these sweet candy corns on the background of my watercolor paper.  I then used the stencil and some ink from my stash to add those cute little bats to the background as well. 

I then grabbed the die cuts and added them through out my clusters, making sure to add my photo to the bottom most candy cane as well!

 

I finished off my layout with some green buttons from my stash and added my journaling to the little journal spot.

I just love the way this layout turned out!  It is so fun and I just love those pops of pink from the Color Kit.  If you decided that you just have to have this kit, please use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes for a free gift with your order. 

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you all kinds of fun ideas to use with your kit!

Until next time, Nicole Santos 

October 2025 Color Kitz | Happy Halloween | 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:  Take spare white cardstock and spray them with Vibez "Punkin' Pie".  Take the Color Splash "Black Hole" and add droplets here and there.  Let dry. Take several different star dies and punches, and die cut a variety of size stars. Set aside.

Step 2: Start with the swirl background. Follow the curves and cut a portion off. Layer that piece on the black ghosts patterned paper to create a full 12 x 12 background.

Step 3: Add the variety of stars to the right side. Following the curves of the patterned paper. Embellishment as seen. Tucking and adding foam throughout. Finished with photos framed in white cardstock and titles.

Supplies:

I used colors from the September Color Kits Collection:

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 sponged on white gesso as needed to try and balance the colors. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on the white gesso, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.

I painted on Black Hole on the background  to balance it with the photo. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls,gold leaf, feathers, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto Blue Fern 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 sponged white gesso on the paper around the photo. This was so I could have a white background to paint on. 

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on the white gesso, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.

I painted on Black Hole on the background  to balance it with the photo.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls,gold leaf, feathers, crystals, glass glitter,dried flowers, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. 

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.
