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.

Hangin Out Scrapbook Layout Using the March Color Kitz

 Hey all, Nicole here with a page I created with the March Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting my youngest and her friend.  I'm also using a sketch from the 30 Days of Sketches Facebook Group.  

The first thing that I did for this layout is find the patterned paper I wanted to use for the triangles.  I decided to use this stripy paper from the kit.  I then cut them into two triangles.  I laid them down on the page to see where I wanted them to go and then I added spray from the kit.

 When the paint was dry I then added my triangles back to the page with double sided sticky tape.  I added my photo down here to the lower right triangle, making sure to lay it down a bit wonky!  I then decided to add a cluster of dotz and wood veneer to each of these triangles.

 Lastly I added this little interest over to the lower left of the page.  I used a sticker that kinda looks like a postage stamp and then added some of the patterned paper on top.  I then added my journaling and my title.

Thanks so much for stopping in to read about my layout.  You can find the kit here: Color Kitz Bundle If you decide to grab the kit or anything else from the Shimmerz shop, don't forget to use my name, Nicole, in the shopping cart notes so you can get a little freebie with your order!

Until next time, Nicole

Lucky Me | Melissa Minor | March 2025 Color Kitz

 Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor @cardsbymelissaminor here and I'm super excited to share a new layout with you. The March 2025 Color Kitz is one of my favorites! It's absolutely beautiful! I love all the bright colors. For my layout today I started by cutting apart one of the patterned papers into color strips. Then I distressed all the edges and cut down to 1x6 inch strips.

I adhered the cut strips onto the center of a 12x12 piece of white mixed media cardstock. Then I pulled out all the paints that came in the kit. I painted Freshly Minted Inklingz onto the top and bottom of the green strip. I painted Peaches & Cream Shimmerz onto the ends of the peach strip. The Don't Citron Me Coloringz I painted along the bright green strip. My favorite paint in the kit this month is the Pink Stilettos Coloringz. I painted it onto the top and bottom of the pink strip. I painted Stay Posy-tive Shimmerz onto the ends of the purple paper strips. I also brought in the Daffodil Creameez from the March bonus bundle and painted along the yellow strips.

I added 1/2 inch strips of the colorful patterned paper to the tops and bottom of the layout. Next to that I layered a 1/4 inch strip of specialty holographic paper. I love how it adds that extra shine to my page. I used an alphabet die from my stash to cut my title Lucky Me. I painted the letters with Don't Citron Me Coloringz. After all I am documenting photos of me and my boyfriend Dale from last St Patrick's Day. 

I added some of the shamrock and horseshoe ephemera from the kit. I used the shamrock Dotz with some tangled thread behind it. I really like the way this page turned out. 

Don't forget! You can add my name Melissa Minor to the comments section of your Shimmerz Paints order to receive a FREE paint! 

Happy crafting,

Melissa Minor

Happy Easter Using the March Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with my second project this month using the March Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting a fun Easter moment from 2020!

I started by making my background with three of the fabulous colors from the kit.  Those colors are: Arti-choked, Spurce It Up, and Dear John Letter.  I show exactly what I did to make this layout on my March unboxing video here: March Shimmerz Unboxing

After my background, I matted my photos with paper from the kit.  I then fussy cut a bunch of flowers from a paper in the kit as well, then glued them all over the green background.  I added all of my Dotz to this page as well as lots of ephemera.

I used the "HAPPY EASTER" ephemera as my title.  I then added simple journaling and my page was done.  I have a process video for this layout that you can enjoy here: Happy Easter Process Video

Thanks for hopping in to read all about my layout.  I hope it gets you in the crafty mood!

Until next time,
Nicole

 

What An Egghead Using the March Shimmerz Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout for this month using the March Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting my youngest acting like a complete egghead!

The first thing I did was make my background using three of the beautiful colors that come in the bundle this month.  They are: Quit Yer Wine-n, Pink Caviar, and Dear John Letter!  I made this layout on my unboxing kit video that you can see here: Shimmerz March Unboxing

I then matted my photos with one of the papers from the kit, making sure to tear one edge for the added texture on the page.  After my photos were down on the page, I started adding all the fun stuff, including: stickers and ephemera!

I added my title and some journaling and my page was complete!  I have a process video for this that you can view here: What An Egghead Process Video

Thanks so much for popping on to read all about my layout!  I hope that it gets you in the mood to use your paints!  Until next time,

Nicole

 

Confetti Eggs | Brandy Vaughn | March Color Kitz

 Hello, Hello! 

I finally had the opportunity to sit down with the stunning March Color Kitz and create a really sweet layout documenting some photos from a few years ago. 

I added Vibes: Arti-Choked and Shimmerz: Spruce It Up to some modeling paste and rolled it on with a brayer. 

Next, I painted some die-cut leaves with Inklingz: Dear John Letter and that added that perfect pearl finish that I was looking for! 

Then I pulled out an old piece of raw chipboard and painted it with Shimmerz: Pink Caviar and WOW am I in love with this color! Look at that shimmer!! 

I finished it off by adding some adorable embellishments from the kit and a few from my stash. I hope I have inspired you to create with mixed media on your next layout!
