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).
