Holly Days | Sarah Millerhouse | December 2023 Color Kitz

Hello! I love Christmastime, and the December Color Kitz and Paper remind me of a beautiful traditional Christmas! 

I use the colors in the December Color Kitz to paint in the white and black striped patterned paper from the Paper Kitz. I also used two colors from my stash (Spritz - Ruby; Shimmerz - Buddy's Favorite Color) to paint on the black and white printed patterned paper. 

I cut circles from both of the papers, and I ran the more solid colored ones through a Sizzix texture folder. This adds some great detail and dimension to the layout. 

I also added a few circles of hand stitching around the layout to add a different texture. I layered the circles up going down mostly the center of the page. Behind the area where I knew my photo would go, I added the Shimmerz - Christmas Cheer from my stash. I liked this pop of yellow/gold as a contrast to the other colors on the page. 

I added two title pieces from Bramble Fox on either side of my photo and finished with Pops of Color around the page for some added detailing.

25 December | Color Kitz Collections | Shannon Allor

Hello friends!  It's Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout featuring the December 2023 Color Kitz Collections!  I love starting a layout with a cutfile.  It sets the tone for the entire project!

I created a few shaker pockets within the cutfile and then layered all of the things!

I love to use mixed media to showcase ephemera.  It has the most beautiful effect!

I nestled the photo in with all of the other goodness.

You can see a bit more of the mixed media on the lower portion of the layout here.

I had so much fun creating this project!

 Hey It's MK!  Today I'll be stamping with my Shimmerz Paints to enhance a preprinted background.

I used some winter floral stamps from my stash along with Coloringz A Shade of Grey, Color Splash Whites of Their Eyes, Vibez Elfin' Magic, Coloringz Scarlett's Fever & Shimmerz Rita on the Rocks.

I sprayed a little amount from the Coloringz Scarlett's Fever on my glass surface and dipped my poinsettia stamp image into the ink.  I used Vibez Elfin' Magic for the poinsettia leaves, Shimmerz Rita on the Rocks for the holly leaves and back to Scarlett's Fever for the holly berries.

After the stamped images were dry, which didn't take long, I used Coloringz A Shade of Grey & Color Splash Whites of Their Eyes to splatter around the layout.  A Shade of Grey was the perfect match to the preprinted grey.

I used the preprinted areas for photo placement as well as title placement.

While decorating my layout, I kept in mind that I wanted my stamping to be a part of the background; allowing it to peek out from behind my cluster.

The stamping was the perfect addition to this background.  Shimmerz has a wide variety of colors and makes it easy to color match any project.

That is all that I have for you today.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Here is the process video, if you'd like to see how this layout came together:

I hope you have a great one and I'll check back in soon.

November Color Kitz-Rhonda Reno

 Hello everyone, it's Rhonda here with a new layout to share with you.  The colors in this month's Color Kitz  are amazing as always. Phenomenal combination of paints and sprays. I'm always blown away at the beautiful collection of paints each month.

My first step in creating this layout was to paint the flowers using the paints in the purple tones "Inklingz-Ruby Lost Her Slippers', Blingz 'Gold N Roses' and Vibez 'Raisin Cane.' Painting and creating florals for my layouts is one of my favorite things and these turned out beautiful. I added some highlights to my flowers with some diamond Stickles.

The next step for me was creating the mixed media background...my VERY favorite part of using Shimmerz! I used all the colors from the kit on my background. Unfortunately, a lot of the background was covered up but you can see the hints of it peeking around the layout.
I used the colors listed above as well as Vibez 'Hot Fudge' and Shimmerz 'Christmas Cheer.'

I added some extra texture with a stencil and some Ranger texture paste.
I used the Vibez Hot Fudge for the 2 cardstock doilies...it's a gorgeous brown color with copper tones--absolutely perfect for this vintage photo of my great great grandparents. 

I added some greenery to the floral clusters as well as a few scattered hot melt dots that I've had in my stash for years and years.

Be sure and check out all the kitz for this month on the Shimmerz Paints website. And also be sure and add the name of any design team member to the comment section of your order for a little surprise. 

We would love to see anything you create using Shimmerz products in our FB group Shimmerz Paints Sharez!

Happy crafting, friends!
