Beautiful Kitty | Kelly Janes

Hey Shimmerz Paints fans! My name is Kelly Janes and I am so excited to share my first design team layout as part of the YouTube Education Team!

I started with a butterfly cut file from The Cut Shoppe and painted the butterflies with multiple Shimmerz Paints. My color choices were based off the Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely Collection, so I painted the butterflies in shades of blues, pinks and purples.

• Blue Butterflies: Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz, Frost Bite Vibez, Cold as Ice Vibez, Lapis Dance Creameez, Anchors Away Shimmerz Paint, Pool Me Close Shimmerz Paint & Blue Moon Aqua Huez (retired), Oh Say Can U Sea Coloringz.
• Pink Butterflies: Cotton Candy Spritz, Sweet Heart Vibez, Great Fruit Creameez. (I also mixed in a bit of orange with the pink butterflies: Mandarin Mai Tai Coloringz and Sunset Strip Vibez.)
• Purple Butterflies: Rip Van Periwinkle Vibez and Princess Vibez.
• Gold Splatters: Miner Miner 49er Inklingz

You definitely wouldn't need as many blues as I used to achieve this look. I had just received an order with new paints and was anxious to try them out! HA! 

I color grouped the butterflies together after they were painted, added a layer of vellum here and there, and then stitched them together down the center. I love the added dimension this give the layout!

I arranged the butterflies on my background, but I added a splash of color to the background using Cold As Ice Vibez, Cotton Candy Spritz and Princess Vibez before I adhered anything down. I then moved onto embellishing. I color blocked the embellishments; which is a really great way to embellish quickly. I added my title using a die cut, and white puffy alphas. I also added subtitles with my kittens names using a smaller puffy alpha set.

I created a process video that you can watch by clicking HERE.

Thanks so much for joining me today and I will be back again next month with a new layout and process video! Don't forget to mention my name in the comments at check-out at the Shimmerz Store to get a free gift!

Let it Snow Layout | Lorilei Murphy

Hello! Lorilei here today with my first post as part of the Shimmerz team! I am very happy to be able to share my creations with you! I have been collecting Shimmerz colors for a couple years and love the artsy feeling they bring to layouts!

Today I made a wintery page featuring Snow & Cocoa by Crate Paper. I chose five sprays to co-ordinate with the collection. I started my page by prepping white card stock with clear gesso. I used the packaging technique to add a big pool of Oh Say Can You Sea and Deep Blue Sea to the area I knew my photo would be.

I made sure the teal colors were very dry before adding the pinks. I didn't want any mixing of these contrasting colors! Using the cap and tube I splattered Pink Stilettos, Caribbean Sunset and Sweet Heart around the teal area and extended the splatters out to the right side of the page. I love how the little sprinkles look through the acetate die cut, just like colorful snowflakes!

Once all the paint was dry I added my photo and embellishments. The addition of the Snow and Cocoa glitter snowflakes really brought out the Shimmerz splatters!

Thanks so much for joining me today. I look forward to sharing my pages with you!

Holly Jolly December Creating | Amanda Baldwin

Hi Shimmerz Friends & Fans! 

Amanda here, and today I am sharing a lil Holly Jolly Christmas inspiration! 

I trust you all had a safe & very Merry Christmas, 

and now have a ton of Christmas photos to scrap?! 

Well, I think I have the best Christmas color combination to share with you today - inspired by peppermint candy canes, no less! 

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout......

I told you it was the BEST!!! 

Ga - ga - gorjus! 

I've combined my favorite Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea

with Spritz: Cotton Candy & Ruby,

Dazzlerz: Spun Sugar

& 

Shimmeringz: Baby's Breath

What a stunning combination of our Shimmerz favorites! 

Here's what I created with them,  

"Holly Jolly"

Sigh! Isn't this so soft, & pretty for Christmas?!

I just love the fresh & modern look this creates - so light and playful! 

Perfect for my 2 darlings in the photo! 

Here's a closer look for you....

Wow!

I have combined these stunning colors with a couple of cut files, as well as Elle's Studio scrapbook supplies. 

I start by creating my mixed media bases which my cut files layer onto.

 I use the packaging technique and add lots of color droplets and splatters too! 

Once dry, I apply the tiny dots stencil with Dazzlerz Spun Sugar. 

I also spray the snowflake cut files with that soft jade color, Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea, and then give a light coat of Shimmeringz: Baby's Breath for a gentle hint of shimmery goodness! 

I love how this turns out!

You can see the entire process in my video HERE. 

Here's a few close-ups for you....

Those colors are just divine! Such a perfect combination! 

Oh, & that cut file is a FREEBIE! Yesss! 

I've popped a link for it in the description box on my channel - so be sure to check it out & subscribe to Happy Arty Days too! 

That snowflake cut file is gorgeous! 

It's called 'Snowed In', and is another Freebie - from The Cut Shoppe!

 I love the soft hint of shimmer that the Baby's Breath adds to the Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea - so pretty!!! 

And such a great way to add gentle interest to my photo cluster! 

So.much.gorgeousness!!!

Journal With Irit- Fast & Easy Art Journal Tutorial

Hi! Irit here with my monthly project, and this time I have a super fast and easy, but oh so pretty art journal spread to share with you! 

I loved making this, because using Coloringz sprays just made the entire process so so easy. I used my favorite colors, Pink Stilettos, Pretty in Pink, No Yoking, Don't Citron me, and Oh Say Can You Sea. After the first layer was dry, I added some pen doodles and watercolors, but using a brush and dipping it straight into the bottle of Coloringz would work just as well. 

Check out the video tutorial I created for this month!

Eat Cake Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share another 12x12 scrapbook layout. I am scrapbooking a photo my mom's birthday. She is posing with my two boys, nice and nephew. We must have taken 75 of the same picture and in every photo someone was looking away or making a crazy face, lol. This is one of the few where everyone looks decent.

I began with white cardstock. I added gesso to the back. I used Coloringz in Pink Stilettos and No Yoking in the background. I sprayed directly on and I used the packaging technique as well. 

Once dry, I used a Prima floral stencil and the Paste-eez dimensional paste in Raspberry Sherbet. I also added some splatters with the mists. 

I placed my photo in the center and used chipboard birthday themed embellishments from a Dear Lizzy chipboard pack. I even created a cluster of balloons. 

I wanted to add some of the mint color from the chipboard so I added another Coloringz in Oh Say Can You Sea using the packaging technique. I also added a border of yellow patterned paper around the whole page. I love how it turned out. 

Products Used:

Coloringz: Pink Stilettos, No Yoking, Oh Say Can You See

Paste-eez: Raspberry Sherbert

Yup! Scrapbook layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout. I found this funny picture of my younger son on my moms phone and I had to scrap it. I pulled out the Simple Stories Life in Color Collection and chose some coordinating colors to use in my background.

I added a thin layer of gesso to a yellow paper from the collection. This helped to strengthen the paper. I then used the good ole packaging technique on top of the gesso. 

I picked several colors that coordinate with the Life in Color Collection, I used a spritz in Ruby, a vibes in Jeni B Blue and Coloringz in Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down and Oh Say Can U Sea. 

I also used one of the Dazzlerz in the color Licorice Stick through  a plus sign stencil to add some fun texture. I also added some splatters in a couple of the colors. 

I then added embellishments from the collection all around my photo. Including some chipboard frames and stickers. I added a few simple layers behind the photo. I love how it turned out. 

Products Used:

Dazzlerz: Licorice Stick

Spritz: Ruby

Vibez: Jeni B Blue

Coloringz: Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down, Oh Say Can U Sea

Always Remember.....

XOXO
