Hooray! Scrapbook Layout Using the May Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all! Nicole here with my second layout of the month using the May Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting a cute little s'more that I made with crochet, and when I say cute I mean so so cute!  I started this layout by making the background.  I used all the paints to make the squares making sure to mix two together for each one.

I then cut out different sized squares from the patterned papers that came with the kit.  I distressed them as well as the pic and put them on the background with foam tape.

I then used lots and lots of stickers from the sticker sheet in the kit.  I added them to the like colored blocks of paint with glue or foam tape!


 

I used a couple of pieces of the die cuts included in the kit, like the banner and the journaling card!

I finished my layout with some journaling and little heart doodles.

Thanks for popping in to read all about my layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas to use your Shimmerz products.  If you want to grab the May Color Kitz Bundle, don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes so you get a little freebie.

Until next time, Nicole

Hello (Kitty) Using the May Shimmerz Paints Color Kitz Bundle


 Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout using the May Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting my sweet kitty cat Malcolm... he actually stole my spot on the couch here, but I could never be mad at him, I'll just sit somewhere else :)

I started this layout by using all the paints that come in the kit this month.  I just brushed them on the paper in big strokes.  The paints are absolutely beautiful!


 

I then used papers from the kit that are the same colors as the paints to add to my layout.  I tore little strips and popped them up on the strips of paint.

Next I used die cuts, stickers, and one of the dotz to add my embellishing with like colors again!  I finished this layout by adding my journaling and some little doodle hearts.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gets you in the mood to use your paints!  You can grab the kitz here and don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a little freebie with your order... Color Kitz Bundle

Until next time, Nicole

This kit is so fun and filled with bright cheerful colors. You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.



Step 1: Start with blue floral paper as background. 

Step 2: Trim white cardstock down & prep with gesso. Let dry.




Step 3: Have a bowl of water ready. Using Spritz (Olive Branch), spray the paper towards bottom left. Using a brush dipped in water, spread the color around a little bit. Adding more water to get the colors moving. Tap brush.  Using Creamer (Lapis Dance), add a clean brush dipped in water and swirl the creamer. Add to top right of page. Move the color around with a brush and extra water.  Take the Inklingz (Bahama Mama), swirl the color with a brush dipped in water. Now, tap the brush around the page to create splatters. Let everything completely dry.




Step 4: Add all phrase embellishments as seen, and finish layout with the rest of the ephemeras as seen such as the butterflies and kit.

Explore Alaska | Shimmerz Paints May 2025 Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn


Hello, friends! I'm back with a new layout using the May 2025 Color Kit.


I began by cutting a section from one of the papers along the chevron lines. I added the cut strips to my background paper to help break up the business of the florals.


Then, I chose the title piece from the sticker sheet included in the kit, which prompted me to cut my photos into circles. I then chose a few embellishments from the kit to sprinkle around the photo cluster.


From there, I decided to bring in some alphas from my stash for a second title. I outlined the outside edges of them to help them stand out a bit more on the page. I also chose to spray Spritz, Olive Branch, all over some white cardstock and die-cut some leafy bits for a bit of whimsy. 

Don't forget to add my name to your Shimmerz Paints order for a FREE product.
Have a lovely, crafty day!
Brandy

DIY Painted Embellishments | May Color Kitz | Melissa Minor

Hi crafty friends! I am so excited to share a new layout with you. I used the beautiful May Color Kitz. Everything included in the kit is perfect for documenting Spring memories. I love the floral patterned paper included in the kit. I wanted to bring more attention to it. So, I decided to make some floral embellishments that matched the paper. I dug through my stash and pulled out an old Close to My Heart die set (this company is now closed). I painted a sheet of mixed media cardstock with the Bahama Mama Inklingz. I painted another sheet using Olive Branch Spritz. These are both available in the May 2025 Paint Kit. Then I used my dies and created flower embellishments. I added a little extra detail to the flowers by brushing a hint of orange with Punkin Pie. I think the floral embellishment clusters turned out gorgeous! 
Next I started working on my layout. I used a cut file that I purchased from Scrapbook Generation/Allison Davis titled Triangle Pattern #2. A few of the triangles that I cut out I painted using Butter Believe It-Shimmerz. I love the sparkle and shine that the Shimmerz Paints adds. Some of my triangles have the floral patterned paper and others have the Butter Believe It. I adhered this to my page behind 2 other strips of the patterned paper included in the Color Kitz. 
I pulled out a few embellishments that matched the paper and adhered to the layout using foam tape. I also used a few of the sequins from the May 2025 Bonus Bundle. I have a full tutorial on YouTube linked below.
