Hello Sunshine 12x12 Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all!  Nicole here with my layout using the April Color Kitz!  I'm making this page to document my sweet little kitty laying on my lap...I just love that!  

The first thing that I did for this layout was pick the paper I wanted to use.  I went with this green paper with white flowers on it and the reverse side had this beautiful orange.  I placed that papers where I wanted on some 12x12 watercolor paper to see where to add my mixed media.  I used the Marigold and Lawn and Order Shimmerz pots to make the painted background.

When my paint was dry, I added my papers down as well as my picture.  I then started embellishing.  I remembered that there was a paper with black and white flowers so I decided to fussy cut some of the flowers for my embellishment clusters.

I then added one of the dotz and some of the die cut pieces to my layout, including my title, Hello Sunshine!  I finished off the layout by adding some sequins from my stash.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you an idea of how to use your kit and paints.  I also have a process video for this that you can watch here: Hello Sunshine Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Happy Easter | Color Kitz Collection | Shannon Allor


Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today to share this sweet layout featuring the April 2026 Color Kitz Collection!  I used the Paper Kitz, the Bonuz Bundle and the Color Kitz to bring it all together.  I always start out by giving myself some “homework”.  I paint lots of the black and white images and then cut them out so they are ready to go.


I love to layer up all of the cute elements.  You can see mixed media behind my ephemera as well as the cutest Sequinz on the flowers.


I was super excited that we had a bunch of elements that could be fussy cut to add to interest in my clusters!

How fun is this photo of my son and his wife showing off that they found the money in the hunt?!

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Feathered Friends Make The World A More Beautiful Place

 

 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 of it 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.I rubbed on gold, pearl, and blue 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,sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   





 Inklingz: Blue Lagoon, and Plum Crazy


                           Shimmerz:  LimoncelloUltra Marine, and Pool Me Close












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