Hello friends! Erica here and I am so excited to share a 12x12 layout with you today using the July 2023 Kitz!
I started with a piece of white textured cardstock that I trimmed down to 10.75x10.75. I matted the white cardstock onto a couple of papers from the July 2023 paper bundle and distressed the edges of the white cardstock to give it some texture.
For my layout design I knew I wanted to create a vertical design on the right side of the layout. I started by spraying some of the Tangerine Dream Vibes onto the cardstock going down the page. Next I went in with some of the Blue Spruce, Pistachio and French Twist Inklingz from the Color Kitz.
Behind my photo I added some papers from the Paper Bundle and I distressed the edges. I used foam adhesive to pop it up on the layout. Once my photo was down I added lots of fussy cut flowers and embellishments and used the Summer cut apart as my title.
Once all my embellishments were down I went in with the Color Splash in the color Whites of Their Eyes and sprinkled it all over the embellishments. I love how this turned out and I hope you love it too! You can check out my process video HERE on my YouTube channel and if you are new to the channel I would love for you to subscribe.

Hi everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) and today I have a new
layout and video to share using the March 2021 Color
Kitz which includes five colours of Shimmerz Paint: Pink Lemonade Vibez which
is a brand new colour and fast becoming my new favourite, Goldie Lox
Shimmeringz, French Twist Inklingz, Blue My Mind Inklingz and Gosh Garnet
Inklingz. All the colours in this month's Color Kitz have a gold undertone and
therefore they are BEAUTIFUL!
I'm also using the exclusive cut
file that comes with the March Color Kitz: Hello Sunshine. I have back filled
the letters with a woodgrain patterned paper.
I began with a sheet of
Marshmallow card. I cut a large piece of Pinkfresh Studio Some Days paper and
stuck that down the middle of the background. I painted the paper with clear
gesso. I then began to apply the colours from the Color Kitz. Firstly I
spritzed Goldie Lox Shimmeringz all over the page. This is a subtle spray but
gives everything it lands on a gold sparkle - so yummy! I then set about
applying Pink Lemonade, Gosh Garnet and French Twist in two areas: one on the
middle left of the layout and one top right. The larger one is for where my
photo will sit and the smaller one top right will be for an embellishment
cluster. I added those three colours with the packaging technique and I also
sprayed Pink Lemonade directly onto the layout. I also added splatters of those
colours.
While the background was drying I
then painted the word 'hello' of the cut file. I used Blue My Mind for this. I
made due there was only a little water applied to this Inklingz because I
wanted a really rich paint and it painted onto my word beautifully.
I then began to assemble my
layout. I added my photo and lots of ephemera clusters from Pinkfresh Studio
Some Days. I used flowers and lemons. I added chipboard circle frames behind my
photo too. I added three Dotz from the March Color Kitz: one is light pink and
says 'free' one is coral pink and says 'dream' and the final one is blue and
gold with cute kisses on. I added these to my layout amongst the
embellishments.
I then added some of the gold
tinsel that came in the March Color Kitz. I added areas of went adhesive around
the chipboard frames and around the Dotz in the top right corner of the layout
and then sprinkled the tinsel on. It then stuck to the adhesive and I shook
away the excess. The result is this beautiful bright gold glittery effect that
I absolutely love!
I finished off my layout by
adding Perspextives by Bramblefox: Cute Camera and hearts, and two different
Spiegelmom Scraps sequins. I also added the cut file title raised on foam pads
for extra depth and dimension and handwrote in my journaling.
Thank you so much for joining me
