The November Winter Wonderland Set with Samantha Robles

Happy November everyone! I cannot express to you how much I adore this time of year. Everything feels magical. Whether it's snowing, Christmas magic or just the endless amounts of cuddling. I love it. The November Winter Wonderland Set from the Shimmerz Paints Color Kitz is just that. It's a perfect transitional kit. You get the warm rustic colors mixed with the chilly Winter hues. It's the perfect set for November.

So, I bought these adorable chip board snow globe pieces last year. It was just a fun little random find. I started this project by painting the chip board "When Skies R Grey" Shimmerz. It took 2 coats to fully cover the chipboard and it's dark edges. While that's drying, I started on getting my Snow Wreath cut file ready to cut. This cut file was created by Paige Taylor Evans with this kit in mind. It's totally exclusive to Shimmerz Paints. Pretty cool, right?!

I try with my layouts to multi task multiple pieces at a time. That way it can all come together at one time. I found this "Snow Cute" chipboard piece in my stash from "Scrapaholics" and decided to mix things up. I mixed white acrylic paint with "Moody Mauve" Coloringz and just started painting a layer on. The acrylic will give it a good base to hold on to. After that piece has dried, I began spraying it with some more Moody Mauve. This piece I did let sit and dry overnight because I did make the mistake in over saturating it.

I LOVE how it turned out. It's got a snowy rustic look to it.

I had some leftover little flowers leftover from a previous project. I used the Mochachino and Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz on the flowers to add that cute little touch. I also picked up these fun foam snowflakes from Hobby Lobby to give this page more of a 3D effect. This kit also includes some adorable Dotz, made exclusively for this kit. I put those in the snow globe, added some sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps and it all tied together. Guys, I cannot express how this layout got me so excited for the season!

Now, run to the Shimmerz Shop before these Kitz FLY off the shelves. They do tend to go pretty quick because you're getting such a great value. Thanks a ton for stopping by!

Happy November!

Truly Grateful with Yoonsun

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun is here! Today I have an autumn-themed card to share with you using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors. For today's card, I tried to stamp solid autumn leaf images instead of colouring. 

To create the card:
1. Die cut a piece of watercolour paper using the A2 sized rectangle panel die.
2. Colour directly on the solid autumn leaf images from the Penny Black Nature's Gifts set using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors: Honey Do List, Olive U Truly, Mochachino, Can't Elope, She Packs a Punch, Naughty or Nice, and Dear John Letter.
3. Stamp the image on the watercolor paper panel. Allow this to dry completely.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the MFT Geometric Greenery set on the bottom half of the panel in black ink.
5. Mount the panel on A2 top folded white card base using double-sided tape.
6. Embellish with a few clear droplets.



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Mixed Media Video Tutorial with Gabrielle

Good morning Shimmerz Fans! It's Gabrielle here with you today to share my newest mixed media page and Video Tutorial.  I don't know about you, but I love doing mixed media style pages, they are pretty quick and easy to do and they really allow you to get creative.

For this page I used a variety of Shimmerz Paints products for the background design as well as for use on the Dusty Attic chipboard embellishments I used.  So much fun getting to use some of the NEW colors Shimmerz recently released!  

As always, I created a brief video tutorial to show step by step how this page design came together....so if you have a few minutes, grab a beverage, kick your feet up and enjoy!....

Hope you enjoyed today's video tutorial! Here are a few close-ups that you can view at your leisure...

I'm loving the soft smokey look some of the new colors gave my background design.  I have to say that Arti-choked has to be on of my favorite Texturez colors! Such a lovely shade of green! (used on the Dusty Attic Foliage)

I also love the pitted iron look the Shimmerz Gritty Graphite gives my scroll designs!

I'm glad you have the video to watch because my photos just don't do justice to the lovely effect the Shimmerz Spun Sugar gives to my hanging vines! Here I used the Crafter's Workshop Stencil I designed called Moving Vines with the Spun Sugar Dazzlerz.

So happy you had a chance to stop by the Shimmerz Blog today, we always love to hear your comments and feedback! Remember: if you would love a FREE/BONUS Shimmerz Paint product in the color of your choice with your next Shimmerz Paints order, be sure to put my name 'Gabrielle' in the Instructions to Merchant/Seller' part of your order! xo
