For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team: Why Fit In When You Were Born To Stand Out?

 

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 some of 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,aqua,and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,tulle,lace,iridescent wrapping paper, sisal, crystals, feathers, glass glitter, chipboard,and bling and metal from my stash. 

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

Inklingz:  Spotlight White,  Greener Pastures, Blue My Mind, Olive U Truly, Steely Blue Eyes, Blue My Mind, Spotlight White, Coral Reef,and Penny 4 Your Thoughts

Shimmerz: Ultra Marine, Precious Metal, and Run! Forest .

May Color Kitz | Mother's Day Layout | Melissa Minor

 

Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor @cards.by.melissaminor here on the blog today. I'm creating a Mother's Day layout using the May 2025 Color Kitz. I started my layout by using a tearing tool and tearing the yellow goose paper. I wanted to use this paper because it really reminded me of my boyfriend Dale's Mom. She has a paper mache goose in her house that she made. She's super crafty and has pointed out this goose to me many times. I mean this paper couldn't be any more perfect. The photos I'm documenting are of Dale's Mom Sandy and his Dad Albert. They are such a cute couple! 

After I finished tearing my paper I added a strip of mixed media cardstock that I painted. I added both of the greens from the kit this month Olive Branch-Spritz and Arti-Choked-Vibez. Then I added a little yellow distress oxide ink and a layer of the brand new Butter Believe It-Shimmerz. I made an oopsy when cutting my papers so I cut my page to 11x11 to cover my mistake. Then I matted onto a sheet of 12x12 white cardstock. 

I then took several of the pieces of ephemera from the kit and layered around my page. I created three embellishment clusters. These clusters are in a triangle and really help draw your eye around the page. Some of the ephemera pieces I layered up using foam tape for extra dimension. 

To finish the layout I used several of the sequins from the May Bonus Bundle. If you'd like to watch my layout come together I have a process video linked below. Remember when you place an order on the Shimmerz Paints website add my name -Melissa Minor-to the notes section to receive a free gift. 

Thanks friends! I'll be back next month to create with the June Color Kitz!

Hooray! Scrapbook Layout Using the May Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all! Nicole here with my second layout of the month using the May Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting a cute little s'more that I made with crochet, and when I say cute I mean so so cute!  I started this layout by making the background.  I used all the paints to make the squares making sure to mix two together for each one.

I then cut out different sized squares from the patterned papers that came with the kit.  I distressed them as well as the pic and put them on the background with foam tape.

I then used lots and lots of stickers from the sticker sheet in the kit.  I added them to the like colored blocks of paint with glue or foam tape!

 

I used a couple of pieces of the die cuts included in the kit, like the banner and the journaling card!

I finished my layout with some journaling and little heart doodles.

Thanks for popping in to read all about my layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas to use your Shimmerz products.  If you want to grab the May Color Kitz Bundle, don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes so you get a little freebie.

Until next time, Nicole
