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 some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. While it was wet I sprinkled on UTEE and heated it. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers. I taped on  flowers,chipboard, and a shell, and taped 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 glass beads,sequins,gold leaf,copper leaf.sisal,iridescent wrapping paper, strands of cheesecloth,tulle, crystals,a shell,pearls, glass glitter, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash.

                                              A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

Using Shimmerz February 2025 Color Kitz | XOXO Layout by Stephanie Dang

Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and this is my SECOND design team project for Shimmerz Paints. I’m super exited to be sharing my next layout 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. Cuteness overload is what I have to say about this layout along with this month’s kit. It is filled with adorable classic Valentine’s Day images that you really don’t have to use it for a lover. I will show you how I use this collection to document my nephew. You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

Step 1: Start with the outline of hearts background, prep with white gesso towards bottom, and let dry.

Step 2: I took the curvy background paper and trimmed off the access, and set it aside. This will go towards the bottom left of my page after I am done with mixed media.

Step 3: I added Gladiola (Vibez) color to my page using water and a brush. Also add a few splatters by tapping my brush. I only did enough for it to show pass my photos and potential embellishment spots.

Step 4: I added stiching to the curvy background. Then I added the curvy background to my page to create a pocket. I added stiching along the edges of my layout.

Step 5: I added my photos framed in white cardstock.

Step 6: I embellish my page as seen with ephemeras from the kit, and butterflies that I found from a local scrapbook store. Add dimensional adhesive along the way to make it pop. I finished my layout with gold bling and “Lips” Dotz (by Shimmerz Paints).
 
                                        

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints FEBRUARY 2025 Color Kitz, Vibez (Gladiola), Shimmerz Paints Dotz, white cardstock, foam adhesive, sewing machine and thread, and regular adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed my project, and felt inspired to create this yourself by using the February 2025 Color Kitz.

To add visual interest I added seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle,sisal,and bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page. I glued on fussy cut images from different lines of Graphic 45 paper.

XOXO Scrapbook Layout Using the February Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all!  Nicole here with another layout using the February Color Kitz Bundle.  Today I'm documenting a glowing pink morning I saw while sipping my tea.  It was so gorgeous I just had to take a snap.

 

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make the background.  I used all the colors that came in the kit to make this heart background.  You can watch how I made it here: https://youtu.be/GYiF6c1EVO0

 

I then decided to do some fussy cutting of hearts and flowers from some of the papers in the kit and add them to 3 different clusters around the page.

I used the die cuts from the kit as well around the page and the "XOXO" for my title.  I finished my page with journaling and some sequins from my stash.

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I also have a process video that you can watch for this layout here: https://youtu.be/gJ1H-l8oOvM

If you decide to grab the kit or anything else in the shop, please use my name, Nicole, in the shopping cart to receive a little freebie with your order!

Until next time, Nicole
 

Let's Go Girls | Shimmerz Paints February Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 Hello, friends! I'm back with another layout using the Shimmerz Paints February Color Kitz. This time I am also using the February cut file. 

Once I had the idea to document our DT photo I got so excited that I completely forgot about the mixed media I had originally wanted on my background. I got started right away with cutting the cut file from one of the pieces of paper in the kit.

I decided since the cut file is a pair of sunglasses I would back it with silver foil to make them like mirrored lenses. Then I fussy cut the bow from the same piece of patterned paper and popped it up on the corner of the glasses.

The piece of ephemera that says "let's go girls" is the real inspiration behind this layout. I also pulled out other pieces to help fill out the main cluster.

I created a little cluster in the top left corner using more hearts and the word phrase stickers from the kit. Finally, I finished the layout by drawing my border around the edge of the page and adding some splatters with Color Splash in Cardinal Sin.

You can check out my process video on YT at the link below. Don't forget to add my name to your Shimmerz order for a free paint!
