Mermaid Vibes Beach Layout Using the June Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with this fun mixed media, beachy layout using the June Color Kitz.  I started by making my background on a sheet of Foundations paper with 2 sprays from the kit.  I have a video for this that you can watch here: Beachy Background 

I then distressed my pic and put it smack dab in the middle of the layout!  I used the die cuts that came with the kit for my title and lots of embellies throughout the layout!

I fussy cut some gold shells from one of the papers in the kit and added those, along with some stickers amongst the other embellies.  I also added the mermaid scales dot to the upper right of my photo.

I finished by adding little doodles, splatters, and sequins to my layout!  Thanks so much for popping in to read about my layout!  I had so much fun creating this one!  You can grab the June Color Kitz in the shop and don't forget to add my name Nicole to the shopping cart to grab a little freebie with your order!  You can also watch my process for this here: Mermaid Vibes Beach Layout 

Until next time, Nicole Santos

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

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.

I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.

 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, using colors similar to the June color kit. 

 I added a little gesso to show where the waves were breaking. I brushed or rubbed on gold, pink, and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,tulle,  crystals,pearls, feathers, glass glitter, shells, and bling and metal from my stash. 

I made the flower with 6 layers of polyester chiffon. I traced the circles around containers that were the size I wanted with a pen.then cut the circles out. I heated the edges over a candle. I dyed the layers then sewed them together, and glued on a pearl. I used Peacock Plume and Lilac Blossom to dye the layers.

I spread a little Glossy Accents under the photo and sprinkled on linen colored embossing powder. It was to get a little sand effect on the page.

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

Inklingz:   First Blush

Blingz + Shimmerz - Gold Glimmer

Shimmerz: Lilac Blossom, Peacock's Plume, and Royal Purple

 

Vibez:  Jeni B Blue

                                      Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

 

Spe-shell Layout Using the June Color Kitz

 Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout of the month.  I'm using the June Color Kitz which is full of beach side goodness!  I'm actually just documenting a photo of my and my youngest LA bound on the plane, but I thought this collection was so fun and wanted to use it.

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the colorful background.  I used three of the shimmerz paints that come in the kit... Jeni B Blue, Lilac Blossom, and Stay Golden.  I have a video showing how to make the background here: Shimmerz unboxing and mixed media backgrounds

 Next I used the papers from the kit to mat my photos and create some arrows on the right side of the page.  I am scraplifting from Jessica Michaels so this layout might look familiar, thanks Jessica!  I also fussy cut out some of the gold shells from another patterned paper.

Finally I used lots of goodies from the kit to embellish my page.  I also used some buttons and sequins from my stash to add some extra to it.  I finished with some splatters of the Jeni B Blue.

Thanks for popping in to read all about my layout.  I hope it gets you in the crafty mood.  You can also watch a video of my process here: Spe-shell Scrapbooking Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos
 

Embellishing With The Shimmerz Paints June Color Kitz

 

Hi crafty friends! I am so excited to be creating today with the Shimmerz Paints June Color Kitz. I absolutely love the kit this month. To start my layout I first chose the patterned papers I wanted to use. For my background I picked the paper that looked like it had sand. Last October we celebrated my boyfriend Dale's birthday in Florida. I thought it would be fun to create a beach themed page to document the occasion. Even though my picture was taken at the hotel this will help us remember we were near the beach for his birthday. 

Next I chose the paper that looked like water and the paper with the gold shells. I cut these using a Sunburst cutfile from Allison Davis. I used the same cut file and just resized one smaller than the other. I distressed the edges of the papers and adhered to the sand background. My photo I printed at home on the Epson Picture Mate 400. I printed in 4x4 in size. I popped it up using some foam dimension. While my cricut was still out I created a title using the print and cut feature that says Fifty In Florida. 

To finish my layout I used several seashell stamps from my stash and painted them up using the beautiful paints that came in the kit. I absolutely love the way this layout turned out. I have a full process video linked below. 

Don't forget to add my name, Melissa Minor, to the notes section of your order and Shimmerz will send you a FREE paint!
