I Can Be Scary Too! | Shimmerz Paintz October Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 Hello, friends! I'm back today with another layout using the Shimmerz Paints October Color Kitz.

I am all out of Halloween photos to scrap so I used a photo of my cat and altered it in Adobe Express to make it look like a Halloween photo. Then I chose this cut file from Confessions of a Paper Addict because of the cat.

I cut the cut file out of black cardstock and misted on some Spritz-A Chance of Rain that I pulled from my stash. Then I misted Vibez-Jack O'Lantern onto some white cardstock and splattered some Inklingz-Sun Kissed on top of that.

I used foam dots to pop up the off-cuts of the fog. Then I grabbed some of the ephemera pieces from the kit and embellished around the cut file and the photo.

Finally, I grabbed some alphas from my stash for the title and finished off the layout with some black glitter drops.

If you would like, you can check out my process in the video below. Remember to add my name to your Shimmerz order for a product!

BOO | Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today playing with the fabulous Color Kitz Collections!  I have the Color Kitz, the Paper Kitz and the Bonuz Bundle!  All three Kitz work together seamlessly and provide so many opportunities for creative fun!

I started out by having a fun painting session with the black and white images.  I used a bit of clear gesso so I could blend paint and easily fix a mistake or two along the way.

Next, I cut out the subscriber cutfile which just so happens to be the cutest little ghost.  I made sure to cut it out multiple times and into two sizes.  I used almost all of the mixed media goodness to do quick swatches of paint on some scrap cardstock.  I then used the sweet cutfiles right on top to create custom little ghosties!

The Paper Kitz had the cutest festive elements that I sprinkled in and around my photo cluster!

I pulled lots of sweet elements to highlight this sweet photo!

I adore my title cluster with BOO and an adorable little witch!

Here’s my process:

Happy Scrapping!

Cute & Creepy Halloween | Melissa Minor | October 2024 Color Kitz

 

Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor here on the blog for the Shimmer Paints design team. I have a cute & creepy Halloween scrapbook layout for you today. I’ve used the October 2024 Color Kitz. It’s full of Halloween themed paper and ephemera. The photos I’m documenting are of me and my boyfriend Dale from last Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin. Of course we had to snap a few photos in front of the amazing pumpkin wall display they had.

The cut file “Halloween Bunting” I used is from PearTree Cutfiles. You can find it here: https://www.peartreecutfiles.co.uk/product/halloween-bunting/ 

My layout came together rather quickly. I used several of the patterned papers from the kit and lots of the ephemera. I was really excited to add a layer of cheesecloth behind my photos. I think that’s a must have for Halloween layouts. I finished the layout by adding some paint splatter using Dandy Lion-Creameez. You can also see the paint I added to the eyes to make them look like they were glowing.

I have a process video over on YouTube. It is linked down below. If you haven't seen the kit, check out my unboxing video too!

Spooky Fun Halloween Cards | October Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 

Hello, friends! I love Halloween. It is my absolute favorite holiday. However, I don't have a single Halloween photo left to scrap. So I thought making cards for you this time would be fun.

For this first card, I used the following:

4.25x5.5 card base
4.25x5.5 plaid background
4x5.25 black cardstock

star stencil
texture paste
Shimmerz in Celery

a few pieces of ephemera from the kit

I mixed a little Shimmerz in with the texture paste and used the stencil to add some stars to my black cardstock. Once that was dry, I layered all of the pieces together and this one was complete.

For this second card, I used the following:

4.25x5.25 card base

4.25x5.25 black cardstock

approximately 4.215x4.125 patterned paper

Colorings in Vivacious Violet

glitter alphas

foam dots

ephemera from the kit

paintbrush

This was a very simple card to create. I began by using a paintbrush to paint the Colorings over the entire piece of spiderweb-patterned paper. Once it was dry, I glued it on top of the black cardstock. Then I glued down the haunted house, added foam dots to the back of the bat, and placed it on top, then added the number 31 to the left of the house. And that completes this card.

For the final card, I used the following:

5.5x4.25 card base

5.5x4.25 piece of polka-dot paper

4.625x3.5 piece of smooth white cardstock

polka dot embossing folder

black ink

ink blending tool

Creameez in Dandy Lion

paintbrush

ephemera from the kit

I began this card by running the white cardstock through the embossing folder. Then I used a paintbrush and splattered on the Creameez. Next, I used a blending tool to add black ink around the edges. I glued that to the center of the orange polka-dot paper. I finished it off by adding some ephemera pieces and stickers from the kit.

I hope you are inspired to use the October Color Kitz from Shimmerz Paints to create your own Halloween cards this season. Remember, if you place an order, add my name to the comments section and Shimmerz will send you a FREE paint product!
