Puzzles & Coffee Layout Using the Shimmerz January Color Kit Bundle

 Hey all! Nicole here with my second layout of the month.  I'm using the January Color Kitz Bundle to make this layout documenting some puzzle time and a cuppa coffee!

The first thing that I did for this layout was to cut the pink hearts paper slanted across a white cardstock.  I marked with a pencil where those papers lay on the card stock and then added some paints from the kit using a stamp to control where the paint was going.  I then ran my layout through a laminator to get it as flat as possible. Next I added my patterned paper to the layout.

I added some patterned paper behind my pics for a little more dimension.  I added them to opposite corners of the page, popped up on some foam tape.

Next I added the die cuts from the kit.  I added lots of dies that I thought were warm and cozy since this was a stay inside, nice and warm activity.

Also in the kit are some cute stickers that includes trees, little sparkles, and hearts.  I decided to add these among my clusters around the layout.  I added my title with some rubon alphas from my stash and my page was complete.

Thanks so much for checking out my process for this page.  I hope it gives you come ideas on how to use your kit.

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Oh Happy Day! | Melissa Minor | January Color Kitz

 Hi friends! Melissa Minor here on the blog today. I'm sharing a layout I made using the gorgeous January Color Kitz. 

I started my layout by cutting 3 strips of patterned paper from the kit. I cut 2 strips 2x10 and 1 strip 3x10. I then drew some pencil lines around the strips so I knew where to place my paint. I pulled 3 matching paint colors. For the red I choose Buddy's Favorite Color-Shimmerz. The center color is a pink called Pink About It-Inklingz. This is a brand new color! It's a really pretty shade of pink. For the green I used The Holly & The Ivy-Inklingz. My white background is a sheet of Mixed Media cardstock cut down to 11x11. I matted that onto the green tree pattern paper from the kit. I think the green really draws your eye to my photos. 

The photos I'm scrapbooking are of my daughter putting her tree up. Each year she decorates her room for Christmas. She does it all herself. Her room looks like a winter wonderland. It's so cozy! Her tree skirt has snowmen on it. So, the snowman face ephemera piece was a perfect addition to the page. I also used a few of the tree puffy stickers and the tree die cut ephemera. 

I used the tree epoxy dot that came in the kit, but also brought in an additional epoxy flair dot from my stash. Behind the epoxy dots I added a little tangled thread for some added interest. I chose an acrylic title from Color Cast Designs -Oh Happy Day!

Happy crafting,

XMAS PJS Using the January Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all and happy New Year!  Today I'm sharing my first layout using the January Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting my daughter showing off her Christmas pjs.  The first thing that I did for this layout was make the background which I did in my unboxing video that you can find here: https://youtu.be/Y4IAyZaXNq4 

 

I added the colors from the kit into sections like little paint swatches on my foundations paper.  Next I distressed and layered my picture on the page.  I then die cut 5 different colored patterned papers from the shop in heart shapes and added them with some foam to the page.

I then grabbed the dotz, stickers, and die cuts from the kit and added them making sure to match the colors as best as possible.  I added some rub-ons from my stash for the title and added some journaling at the top as well.  To finish off the layout I added some iridescent sequins from my stash to bring some bling.

Thanks so much for stopping in to read about my page.  You can find my process video for this layout here: https://youtu.be/GHYShNxpzlU

Puppy Poses | January 2025 Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 

Hello, friends! I am thrilled to have a collection that works so well for documenting my daughter's pup. Especially one that matches her little vest. It makes my heart smile.

To create this layout I began by choosing the papers that I wanted to layer up in a strip down my background. Then I ripped and distressed the edges and glued the papers together.

After that, I decided I wanted some mixed media to peek out from underneath the torn papers. I mixed a little bit of Shimmerz-Golden Wheat with some water and used the packaging technique to add it to my page. Then I added some splatters just to give it a bit more interest.

I had this heart sitting on my desk that was left over from a previous layout. It was the center of a cut file that I cut from smooth white cardstock. I added the leftover Shimmerz to it and decided it would be a nice backdrop for my title. I also cut some tags from my January kit scraps and added them above the photos then looped some twine through the holes to finish them off. I also pulled a stamp set from my stash and a few stamped images.

Finally, I sprinkled around some ephemera and puffy stickers from the kit then pulled some alphas from my stash for the title and this layout was complete. I hope you have enjoyed this process and are inspired to create a layout about your own furry friend!

Be sure to check out the Shimmerz Shop for all the details about the January Color Kitz. Don't forget to add my name to the "notes" section of your order for a FREE paint.
