Sunshine in my Pocket | June Color Kitz | Niki Rowland

 

Hi everyone, it's Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here with you today with a new layout using the June Color Kitz and a process video too. The Kitz comes with five Shimmerz Paints, a pack of exclusive Dotz, customizable die cut tags and an exclusive cut file: I’ve got that Sunshine in my Pocket which is super fun. The Shimmerz Paints colours are: Sapphire Spritz, Powder Puff Spritz, Elfin Magic Vibez, Strawberry Fields Creameez, Great Fruit Creameez. I love these colours so much, they totally remind me of summer!

I started with a sheet of Marshmallow cardstock for my background and then added the five colours of Shimmerz to the background in wide vertical stripes. I started with Sapphire on the right side. I used a wide paintbrush to get this effect but it wouldn’t fit in the bottle, so I poured some of the paint onto a craft sheet and picked it up from there. I did the same with Powder Puff, then Elfin Magic. For the two pink colours of Creameez, I added water to the pots, let them sit for a couple of minutes, then painted directly out of the pot. I left my background to dry then splattered all over it with white acrylic paint. 

I then worked on the cut file. I just wanted the words ‘sunshine in my pocket’ so I trimmed the cut file so I just had the words I wanted. I backed the open words in a red patterned paper from Simple Stories Sunkissed. I then added the cut file title to my layout on the darker pink stripe. I raised it on foam pads for extra dimension.

I also painted the customizable die cut tags with the same colours and set those aside to dry.

I added my two photo to the layout and arranged the painted die cut tags in the same colour areas of the layout. I then carried on with this with the other embellishments I used. I used lots of word labels and I stuck those in the same orientation as the cut file title. I added the three exclusive Dotz to the layout, again in the colour blocking style.

I finished off with some sequins by Spiegelmom Scraps, a few more embellishments and my journaling which I wrote directly onto the painted tags! I really love how this one turned out. Here is another look at the finished layout:

Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping. Don't forget that if you place an order via the Shimmerz store, add my name in the comments to get a little freebie! Enjoy the process video below.

Blue Rose | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz Fanz, Ericka here with a watercolor card I made using Spritz and Inklingz.

I started out by spraying my background with Spritz Practice What You Preach. I let it dry and then light sprayed a little Mango Madness Spritz and set it aside to dry.

I stamped the Reverse Confetti Peony in Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink and then sprayed Sapphire Spritz on my palette to watercolor the flower. I used a little Corney Flower Blue Inklingz as highlights and shimmer to the flower.

I stamped the leaves in Pine Needle Distress Oxide and used Emerald City Inklingz to watercolor. Once all the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Before I adhered the images, I added a couple drops of the Sapphire Spritz to the background. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine black ink and added some light peach sequins to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Rainbow Cupcakes | Ericka Stange

Hello everyone, Ericka here with a fun rainbow cupcake card I made using lots of vibrant Coloringz and Spritz.

I love all these gorgeous rainbow of colors. I started by stamping the Visible Image cupcakes on Bristol Smooth paper and heat embossing them with some clear sparkle. Then I had fun spraying the cupcakes with several layers of color using the following sprays:

Coloringz - Lil' Yellow Skool Bus and Pink Stilettos
Spritz - 4 Leaf Clover, Sapphire, and Cotton Candy

I fussy cut out each of the cupcakes and added then to my stenciled background with foam tape.

I added the Visible Image Happy Birthday sentiment and heat embossed it with WOW Blue Glitz for some more shine.

As a finishing touch, I added these adorable clay polymer Wildflowers from Miss Ink. They are so tiny and adorable!

Thanks for stopping by and check out my blog Strangely Creative for more information on the products I used. Also don't forget we have a Spring Forward Challenge coming up in March! Join us as we create projects without ANY patterned paper.

Simply Enjoy it All | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz fans! I hope you had a wonderful week. Ericka here today with a Shimmerz Stampz called Simply Enjoy. These tulips are so pretty and I loved using the Shimmerz and Vibez sprays to watercolor them.

I love combining colors and the Sweet Heart Vibez spray with the Shimmerz Christmas Cheer to give the flowers a two tone look.

I stamped the image on water color paper using InkOn3 Fade Out ink to do some no-line watercoloring. I then sprayed Sweet Heart Vibez onto a pallet and laid down a first layer of color. Once the layer was dry, I added some more color to the shadow areas as well as some Christmas Cheer Shimmerz for a hint of yellow. I love blue leaves so used Ultra Marine Shimmerz and Sapphire Spritz.

It is always hard to capture the beauty of the shine but in this close up photo you can see some of it.  I finished the card with some pink and blue splatters from my pallet and added the sentiment in Versafine ink and clear heat embossing it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week! Don't forget if you place an order with Shimmerz Paints to mention my name, Ericka Strange, in the comment section of the order for a fun freebie!

Christmas Floral

Hello Shimmerz fan! Ericka here and I hope your December is going well. Are you all done with your Christmas shopping? How about your Christmas cards? If you aren't no worries, we still have time, right? I'm still making my Christmas cards, it seems like the list is long but that's good. Today I'm using the Floral Grace set and turning it into a Christmas card.

I started by stamping this gorgeous flower on some Bristol Smooth paper and then white heat embossing it. I then used a combination of Vibez Pink Moscato and Sweet Heart to add some color to the flower.

I love the shimmer and shine these two Vibez colors have and they play so well together. 

For the background, I used a separate piece of paper and took a stencil and used the Dazzlers Spun Sugar to add texture. Once that dried, I lightly sprayed Vibez Jeni B Blu and Spritz Sapphire onto the texture.

I added some ribbon from my stash and sprayed that was well so that it would match. Once everything was dry, I assembled my card adding a holiday sentiment in white embossing. I found a scrap piece of Yupo paper (because doesn't everyone keep ALL of their scraps lol) that I had in blue alcohol ink and added that as well. The flower and the sentiment are adhered with glue dots to give them a little more dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my card. Remember, if you decided to shop at the Shimmerz store, place my name (Ericka Strange) in the order comments for a fun freebie!

#Right Now | Katty Miranda

Hello Crafty friends! Katty here to share a scrapbooking layout with you all. I had this photo of my cousins baby from a few years back. He was the cutest baby. I decided to create a monochromatic layout using shades of blue.

I began with white cardstock and a stencil with a small square pattern. I angled the stencil to create two triangles on either side of the page. I used one of my favorite of the Paste-eez, Puttin on the Glitz. My though was that the Paste-eez would create a resist effect when I add color on top.

Once dry I used some of my favorite shades of blues and aquas. I used a Spritz in the color Saphire and three Coloringz in the colors Well Blue me Down, Heidi Ho Blue and Mamma Sings the Blues.

I used a paint brush to add the colors, blending them together over the stenciled triangles. I also added some splatters using Mama Sings the Blues.

I placed my photo in the center and added a few layers of patterned paper behind it. I added my tittle and used a few embellishments, all in shades of blue to keep with the monochromatic look.

I love how it turned out! 

Supplies Used:

Paste-eez: Puttin on the Glitz

Spritz: Sapphire

Coloringz: Well Blue me Down, Heidi Ho Blue, Mamma Sings the Blues

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rainbow Art Journal Page | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here. Today I am sharing an art journal page. I wanted to create a fun rainbow using some of my favorite colors and Shimmerz Paints. I am working in my Daler Rowney Mixed Media Travel Book. I love the size of this book. 

I began by painting my rainbow. I painted simple strokes. I used a variety of Shimmerz products to create the color strokes. I used Creameez in Berry Hot, My Clementine and Refresh Mint. I used Inklingz in Precious Posey and an original Shimmerz Paint in the color Sunny. I also used a Spritz in Saphire. Some of the colors were used twice. 

Once that was dry I used some of the amazing Shimmerz Paints Texture Pasted through a chain stencil. I used Past-Eez in the colors Don't be a Pansy, Baby Boy Blue, Hold the Mustard and Raspberry Sherbert. I also used Dazzlerz in Dreamscicle and Sea U in the Mornin'. 

I love the way it turned out. To add some extra fun and texture I used twine in coordinating colors where the two colors met. I also added two different types of butterflies that I punched out of white cardstock. I love the extra detail that the butterflies added. 

Products used: 

Creameez: Berry Hot, My Clementine, Refresh Mint

Inklingz: Precious Posey

Shimmerz Paint: Sunny

Spritz: Saphire

Dazzlerz: Dreamscicle, Sea u in the Mornin'

Paste-Eez: Baby Boy Blue, Hold the Mustard, Don't be a Pansy, Raspberry Sherbert
