March 2025 Color Kitz | Spring Selfies Layout | Stephanie Dang

  Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share 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. Are you the family's unofficial designated photographer like I am? Chances are- you're never in a picture unless you're taking a selfie. :) You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

Step 1: Start with the floral paper and prep with gesso around the center on the circle. Let dry.

Step 2: Using Peaches and Cream Shimmerz, mix with a brush, and apply with water on paper. Adding plenty of water and moving paper around to let that water slide naturally. Tap brush around layout to create splatters. Let dry. 

Step 3: Fussy cut florals and clovers. Add to layout on left side in a shape of a little over half a circle. Add photo framed in white cardstock.

Step 4: Embellish page with banners, ephemeras, "selfie" dotz, butterfly, and title.

Step 5: Finish layout by adding Freshly Minted inklingz by using a brush with water. Mix that color, and add it to the minted clovers on page. Add some splatters.

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints MARCH 2025 Color Kitz,  Inklingz (Freshly Minted), Inklingz (Peaches and CReam), gesso, 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 March 2025 Color Kitz.

Simple Painted Holiday Cards with Daisie Scraps

 

Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a set of cards that I created using my Shimmerz Paints.  I had so 

much fun just painting!  These are simple designs that you can either free-hand or even trace and paint. 

Supplies Used:

• Hi Ho Silver Blingz
• Spiced Cider Blingz
• Gold Glimmer Blingz
• Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz
• Green Goddess Inklingz
• Blue Lagoon Inklingz
• Tarnished Treasure 
• Celery Shimmerz
• Buddy’s Favorite Color Shimmerz
• Frogget Me Not Vibez
• Scarlet’s Fever Coloringz

I started by dividing my 12x12 Kraft cardstock into 6- 4x6 bases.  I started with the darkest color I was 

using, Penny 4 Your Thoughts, and added some base elements to a few spaces.  This was a great 

shimmery color that was perfect for a tree branch and some pine cones.

 

Next I went in with the greens.  I just added designs that I thought would look good.  A few sprigs and 

some leaves.  I used Buddy’s Favorite color to create poinsettias.  The Blingz were perfect for some shiny 

baubles on a wreath and more pine cones (that ended up looking like leaves).  I had one base left so I 

painted a super easy tree using the Blue Lagoon.  It turned out so sparkly and pretty!

After everything was dry, I went in and added some doodle elements to each card using my Pitt Artist pen.  

I outlined the pine cones, added a trunk to the tree, outlined the poinsettias and just added detail where I 

thought it was needed. 

After I was happy with the cards, I sent the whole sheet through my silhouette.  I used various fonts from 

my computer to embellish my sentiments.  I had the Silhouette cut out the cards for me and had it shave 

¼ of an inch off so that it would fit on the base with a nice border. The only thing left was adhering everything

 to the 4x6 base.  

I created a process video to show how the cards were created.  I would love to have you check it out!

March 2021 Color Kitz with Natalie Dill

 

Hey friends! Natalie here today using the March 2021 Color Kitz.

These gorgeous kitz include:

• Blue My Mind Inklingz 
• Goldie Lox Shimmeringz
• French Twist Inklingz
• *NEW* Pink Lemonade Vibez
• Gosh Garnet Inklingz 
• 1 exclusive layered process "HELLO SUNSHINE" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of Dotz
• 1 package of GOLD FOIL

I chose this black and white patterned paper and cut a silhouette of a half sun from the middle. I then put clear gesso on white cardstock and painted the Gosh Garnet Inklingz, French Twist Inklingz and Blue My Mind Inklingz with the Pink Lemonade Vibez in the area which will be seen through the cut sun.

Find my full process video here!

After the first layer, I built up the color by adding another layer. You can use them to be as light or bright as you wish!

I cut three letters out of double sided sticky foam to use with the gold foil.

I painted the Gosh Garnet and Blue My Mind on watercolor paper and stamped a small flower image before they dried. It gave a beautiful imprint of the floral! I used these watercolor papers to cut the additional letters to fill in Sunshine.

 I documented myself on my birthday last year with my beautiful balloon arch my family put above my craft desk! 

I combined this collection with some gorgeous Maggie Holmes florals and they worked very well together.

I love adding dotz to my embellishment clusters!

Make sure to head to the Shimmerz store to grab your own Color Kit today!!

Color Kitz Collection: March 2021 Edition with Samantha Robles

 Happy March everyone! My favorite month of the year! Really, today is like the first day of Spring. It's time to break out those pastels and vibrant hues. The March 2021 Collection is simply "golden". All things gold and shimmery is available in this kit. 

Let me start off by letting you guys know, you NEED the new exclusive color in this kit. It's called "Pink Lemonade Vibez" and it's one of a kind. To begin this layout, I gesso'ed my sheet of textured cardstock and then used my Carta Bella Hello Autumn Stencil with some modeling paste. Once my paste sets, then I  watercolor in some "Good As Gold" Inklingz and layered it with the "Goldie Lox" Shimmeringz that comes available with the paste. (Please note that Good As Gold is NOT available in the March Kit. You gotta pick that one up separately but it's so worth it!)

After my gold mixed media mess dried, I then painted my sweet paper flowers I found at my local Michaels. Behind those flowers, I then tucked some Prima Vintage Trinkets Mechanicals behind. My "Hello Sunshine" cut file was then ombre'd using both "Gosh Garnet" Inklingz and fading into the new Pink Lemonade Vibez. After my puddles dry, I then add some of the fun gold foil onto my geode background.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have the best week. Don't forget to stop on by the Shimmerz Shop to pick up your March 2021 Kit. While you're dropping in your order, leave my name in the comments of your order to snag a freebie on Shimmerz Paints.

Happy March!

I love you Bunches & Bunches! || February Color Kitz with Natalie Dill

Hey friends! Natalie here today using the February color kitz. They're so gorgeous, and perfect for a month of love!

The Kitz contain: 

• Angel Wings Shimmerz
• Gold-N-Roses Blingz
• Pink-a-Boo Inklingz
• *NEW* Cloud Wine Vibez
• *NEW* Age Before Ruby Coloringz
• 1 exclusive layered process "Rosez" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "My Better Half" Dotz
• 1 package of Rinestonez
• 1 diamond stencil 

I used the Angel Wings Shimmerz to paint the entire background of my gessoed white cardstock to create a shimmering base for my background. Find my entire process video on my channel.

I used a brayer to apply the Cloud Wine and Age before Ruby sprays and Gold-N-Roses Blingz to rose stampts and stamped atop the gessoed background.

I also sprayed the diamond stencil with the Cloud Wine Vibez and used it as a stamp alongside the stamped floral.

I then used a brush and water to fade portions of the stamped background.

While the background dried, I painted the cut file roses I cut out of gessoed cardstock on my Cricut. I added some Ice Sage Inklingz and Olive Branch Spritz to the leaves of the roses. I tinted the petals with Gold-N-Roses Blingz and Pink-a-Boo Inklingz.

I laid out mypage in a diagonal pattern and created a gold title that says "I love you bunches and bunches," since flowers come in bunches.  I used one of the adorable Dotz for the ampersand in the title.

I added some additional foliage to my roses in green and gold. As well as gold and black splatters with gold gems and red pearls.

I hope you go grab your  own February Color Kitz. I can't wait to see what you all make!!

 

February Color Kitz with Samantha Robles

 Happy Monday everyone! I'm so excited to be back creating after being on maternity leave. We'll be using the new February Color Kitz Collection, featuring two new colors.

First, I start with the exclusive cut file found in the kit. These adorable roses! Each rose gets a shade of: "Pink A Boo" Inklingz

"Age Before Ruby" Coloringz

and  Gold-N-Roses Blingz

The cute little leaf petals are then painted with Pining For You Creameez.

Next, I cut out the new "Sweet Heart" cut file. I only wanted to highlight the "sweet" portion so the cut file didn't swallow up my cute girl's photo.

After glueing the pieces together, It's time to back my photo with some paper from Cocoa Vanilla's "Happiness" collection. This pink matches perfectly! I finally add some embellishments from an old stash I had from American Crafts and some sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps.

I cannot rave about the new colors enough! They're simply stunning and a must for any crafter. Supplies will be limited. If you'd like a freebie product from Shimmerz, make sure to drop my name in the comments of your order(s).

Have a happy Monday!

***Get your June Color Kitz HERE***

Here's what I created with this stunning Summer themed kit....

"Happy"

Wow! Such a striking Summer vibes page! 

I couldn't resist creating with all the colors - they look so incredible together!

Let's take a closer look at this messy, fun page....

So much to love about The June Color Kitz! 

I started my layout by painting up that gorgeous sun design with Sunset Strip Vibez, Orange Sherbert Shimmerz & Sunkissed Inklingz onto some smooth watercolor paper. Once dry, I trimmed apart all the sections, & arranged them onto my white cardstock base. I distressed each segment, & then messily machine stitched into place. 

I love how effective this sun burst looks! 

Those colors really are somethin'!

Next, I painted up my ocean with Pool Me Closer Shimmerz, applied the new waves texture stencil (included in the June Color Kitz) and painted in some Boogie Boardin' Blue Creameez. I also added in some royal blue stamping ink with the stencil too! This really added definition & interest to my waves.

I layered my darling boy's sweet photo onto a few sheets of tissue wrap, & some ephemera pieces before tucking in & adorning his framed photo with the fabulous Summer Vibez Dotz. Super cool!

I used a few labels from Paige Evan's Bloom collection to 'tell my story' and add a bit of journaling to my layout. I used the warmer tones with the sun rays, and the cool blues through the ocean. I also adhered the blue ones in a wavy fashion to mimic the Boogie Boardin' Blue stenciling. Simple, but so effective! 

For finishing touches, I used the Minty Meadow sequins to complete my Summer fun page! The teal sequins matched beautifully with the ocean  & all the warmer tone sequins coordinated with the sunshine! Love it! 

Please watch my process video of how this layout came together HERE

Thanks so much for watching! 

I hope you enjoyed my video & feel inspired to get a lil painty today!

May Color Kitz - Winning Whimsy || Natalie Dill

Hey friends! Natalie here using the May Color Kitz! This color palette is gorgeous and will carry you through the long hot summer so well.

May Color Kitz:

• A Bright Fuchsia Coloringz - exclusive color!
• Mustard Seed Vibez
• Angels Kiss Inklingz
• Paradise Punch Creameez
• Moulin Rouge Shimmerz
• 1 exclusive Blooming Butterfly cut file created by Shimmerz Paints
• 1 set of Silver embellishing floss
• 1 set of "Sweet Thing" Dotz
• 1 set of Watercolor Butterfly Ephemera stickers

This exclusive butterfly cut file is GORGEOUS! I painted it, but you could also back it and it would be stunning. You can find a full process video of this layout on my YouTube channel.

I painted a couple of other die cut butterflies and wanted them to be the star of the show, so I stuck to simple splatters on the background of my paper.

The silver floss included in the kit goes so well with the beautiful, warm colors. I used the floss to create a thread tangle in three spots on the layout.

I also let the silver floss dictate the color of my title and sewing thread around the border of my page!

I painted a die cut doily with the same technique used for the butterflies to create a layering piece for my photo.

How lovely are those butterfly stickers?!

I threw on some Nuvo crystal drops to bring in the silver color too. 

I love how the embossed bits of the butterflies allow the paint to fill in - so beautiful!

The exclusive Dotz are in the brightest colors and are super versatile with their sayings - they can go on so many pages.

Please make sure to grab your May Color Kitz in the store before they fly away!

Thanks for looking!

xoxo, Natalie
