Summer Memories Using the July Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout using the beautiful July Color Kitz!  I'm documenting this silly photo of my youngest while we were traveling back in May!

The first thing I did for this layout was add some texture paste through a heart stencil on a piece of Foundations Mixed Media Paper for my background.  I then used all the colors that come in the kit to add lines of paint going down the middle, making sure to add some splatters as well.

I then grabbed the black and white floral paper that comes with the kit and colored 3 flowers with all the colors and painted some leaves with the Evergreen Shimmerz as well.

Next I added some torn patterned paper to my layout along with my photo that was matted with some different paper from the kit.  I added all my flowers and leaves and then I added embellishments from the kit as well as my title.  Lastly I added some splatters of Black Hole to the layout to add that finishing touch.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  You can grab the kit and the Black Hole paint in the Shimmerz shop and use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift.  You can also watch my process video for this layout here: Summer Memories Mixed Media Scrapbooking Layout

Orange You Cute! | Creating With The July Color Kitz

 Oh my goodness! I absolutely love the July Color Kitz. The colors are so bright and remind me of all things summer. I started with a piece of 12x12 Mixed Media Foundation Cardstock. I pulled several paints from the kit to create a mixed media painted background. I used Sunny-Shimmerz, Orange You Glad-Coloringz, Lettuce Get Together-Creameez, and Evergreen-Shimmerz. 

Next I torn the patterned paper that has the oranges, lemons, and limes design on it. I added this torn paper horizontally across the top and bottom of the page. Next I cut a half inch strip of the orange plaid paper. My layout design is fairly simple and came together very quickly. 

I adhered the velum fruit ephemera to a piece of white cardstock and fussy cut them out. This gave the pieces a little more stability and allowed me to add some foam tape to the back of them. I backed my photos with various pieces of paper from the kit. 

I embellished with a few of the tiny foam dot stickers. With that my layout is complete. Remember when you shop on the Shimmerz Paints website you can add my name "Melissa Minor" to the notes section and 
Shimmerz will send you a free paint.

Mermaid Vibes Beach Layout Using the June Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with this fun mixed media, beachy layout using the June Color Kitz.  I started by making my background on a sheet of Foundations paper with 2 sprays from the kit.  I have a video for this that you can watch here: Beachy Background 

I then distressed my pic and put it smack dab in the middle of the layout!  I used the die cuts that came with the kit for my title and lots of embellies throughout the layout!

I fussy cut some gold shells from one of the papers in the kit and added those, along with some stickers amongst the other embellies.  I also added the mermaid scales dot to the upper right of my photo.

I finished by adding little doodles, splatters, and sequins to my layout!  Thanks so much for popping in to read about my layout!  I had so much fun creating this one!  You can grab the June Color Kitz in the shop and don't forget to add my name Nicole to the shopping cart to grab a little freebie with your order!  You can also watch my process for this here: Mermaid Vibes Beach Layout

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Meet Me Where The Sky Touches The Sea

 

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

                                                                Photo credit: Pexels

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, using colors similar to the June color kit. 

 I added a little gesso to show where the waves were breaking. I brushed or rubbed on gold, pink, and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,tulle,  crystals,pearls, feathers, glass glitter, shells, and bling and metal from my stash. 

I made the flower with 6 layers of polyester chiffon. I traced the circles around containers that were the size I wanted with a pen.then cut the circles out. I heated the edges over a candle. I dyed the layers then sewed them together, and glued on a pearl. I used Peacock Plume and Lilac Blossom to dye the layers.

I spread a little Glossy Accents under the photo and sprinkled on linen colored embossing powder. It was to get a little sand effect on the page.

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

Inklingz:   First Blush

Blingz + Shimmerz - Gold Glimmer

Shimmerz: Lilac Blossom, Peacock's Plume, and Royal Purple

 

Vibez:  Jeni B Blue

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

 

Spe-shell Layout Using the June Color Kitz

 Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout of the month.  I'm using the June Color Kitz which is full of beach side goodness!  I'm actually just documenting a photo of my and my youngest LA bound on the plane, but I thought this collection was so fun and wanted to use it.

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the colorful background.  I used three of the shimmerz paints that come in the kit... Jeni B Blue, Lilac Blossom, and Stay Golden.  I have a video showing how to make the background here: Shimmerz unboxing and mixed media backgrounds

 Next I used the papers from the kit to mat my photos and create some arrows on the right side of the page.  I am scraplifting from Jessica Michaels so this layout might look familiar, thanks Jessica!  I also fussy cut out some of the gold shells from another patterned paper.

Finally I used lots of goodies from the kit to embellish my page.  I also used some buttons and sequins from my stash to add some extra to it.  I finished with some splatters of the Jeni B Blue.

Thanks for popping in to read all about my layout.  I hope it gets you in the crafty mood.  You can also watch a video of my process here: Spe-shell Scrapbooking Process Video
