Pinners Scrapbook Layout


 Hey all! Nicole here with my newest layout using the December Color Kitz!  I am documenting me and my cousin's trip to Pinners this last November.

 

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the background.  I used a plain piece of cardstock for this one and used all the colors to make this circular element on the page.


 I then paper pieced my mats for my photo and die cut out the title using patterned papers from the kits.  I used some of the ephemera from the kit to add embellishing to the layout as well.

I finished with some do dads from my stash to add around the paint circle and some journaling.

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I have a process video that you can watch for this layout here: Nicole's YouTube Channel 

I hope I gave you some inspiration on how to use your December Color Kit.  If you would like to grab the color kit please use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your purchase!

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Merry Christmas | Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout featuring the Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and Bonuz Bundle for December 2025.  I love the mix of diecuts, mixed media goodies and Dotz!


I started by matting this adorable Christmas tree paper onto a bold stripe (don’t worry, I made sure to gut the stripe first).  I matted the photo with the striped paper but wanted a bit more drama behind it.  Pool Me Close to the rescue in a bold swatch of color.  It mimicked the sky color perfectly!


I painted this cute Christmas tree with Jilted Jade and Pool Me Close and then added some splatters with Lover’s Lips.  It adds the perfect curated touch to this layout!


I fussy cut out this string of lights and the star and made sure that I created dimension with them.  I love how much shimmer and shine the Color Kitz gave me!

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                         treasures there!





To make these cards, I cut a 12" x 12" piece of watercolor paper in half.
I stenciled on Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula.
 
 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.

I rubbed on gold,aqua, and pearl colored mica powder on a lot of the background and raised areas on the page.


                                                      


To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,pearls,lace, crystals, glass glitter, tulle,iridescent wrapping paper,   fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers, paper flowers and chipboard, and bling and metal from my stash. 

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

December 2025 Color Kitz | Merry Christmas | Stephanie Dang

      Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share my project 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. This kit is so fun! Perfect for documenting your holiday festivities! You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.



Step 1: Start with multi-color plaid background. Layer on the yellow that has been sized down to about 10" x 10".  Then take white cardstock and trim down to 9.5" x 9.5" and prep that with gesso. Let dry.


Step 2: Add the color splashes by using waterbrush, and moving around the following colors: Inklingz (Lover's Lips), Shimmerz (Pool Me Close), and Shimmerz (Jilted Jade). Make sure to let each color completely dry before adding the next. Place the snowflake stencil, and spray the Vibez (I Mist You!), and carefully remove the stencil. Let the page dry completely before moving on.


Step 3: Adhere the yellow cardstock diagonally to the plaid background, and then adhere the watercolor background.


Step 4: Add your photo framed in white cardstock, and embellish as seen. Using foam adhesive to make a few die cuts pop.

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints DECEMBER 2025 Color Kitz,  VIBEZ (I Mist You!), INKLINGZ (Lover's Lips), Shimmerz (Pool Me Close), Shimmerz (Jilted Jade), gesso, foam adhesive, and regular adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed my project, and felt inspired to create this yourself by using the December 2025 Color Kitz.

Fa La La La La | December 2025 | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout featuring the Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and the Bonuz Bundle for December 2025.  I love the bright and whimsical feel of this combination!


I flipped through the Paper Kitz and immediately knew that I had to use this one for my background!  It already looked double matted before I even started!  We received the perfect snowflake stencil that I used with some paste from my stash.  I promise that you can see it perfectly in person but the white on white is so hard to pick up on camera.  I used the Pool Me Close for some splatters and set it aside to dry.


I love to create shaker pockets for a bit of movement.  I fussy cut out an element from one of the papers that had a bunch of frames on it.  I used some of the packaging to create a window and voila!  That part was done.  I also enjoyed some time off camera to paint all of the elements from our “coloring book” piece and then cut them all out.


I adore all of the perfectly curated diecuts and painted pieces!  They work so beautifully together to create a fun and festive layout!
