For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, When Flowers Bloom, So Does Hope

 

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post, two cards, 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 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,sequins,crystals, glass glitter, tulle, fussy cut images from Prima papers,paper flowers,iridescent wrapping paper,gold thread, and bling from my stash. All the sequins are from Shimmerz Paints.

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

 Inklingz: Blue My Mind, Pink A Boo

                           Shimmerz: Green Olive, Key Lime, Celery, Crimson Tide,Sunny, So Sappy,Run! Forest

Sequinz: Lemonade Stand, Prom Night

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

Happy 12x12 Scrapbooking Layout

 Hey all!  Nicole here using the April Shimmerz Color Kitz to make this layout documenting me and my fam putting on this oversized JAMNOLA hat in New Orleans.  I'm using the You're the Zest and Pink Lemonade paints from the kit as well as paper and embellishments.

 I knew I wanted to make a grid layout since I had three photos so I used the paints to make my starting points on this 12x12 watercolor paper.

 One of the papers from the kit had all kinds of little label cut aparts.  I used one behind my photos to add layers.  I also added a 3x4 of the pink plaid paper for the spot where my title is going to go.

 I then used the die cuts and dotz to add more embellishing to each photo.  I added my journaling and some purple sequins (they look blue but there are purple) from my stash.

Thanks for stopping in to read about my layout.  I hope it gets you in the crafty mood and gives you some ideas on how to use your kit.  This is my last post for Shimmerz, so I would like to thank you all for your support while on the team and I wish everyone the best!

Thanks, Nicole Santos 

One Spring Day | 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, Bonuz Bundle and Color Kitz to create this project featuring my son and the cutest little goat!  I love how the collections are perfectly curated! 

I do love to fussy cut and thought that these florals would be a perfect cluster to pop up on the top of my layout and then I layered all of the Dotz on top of them.  Such great dimension!

The ephemera features the cutest little animals that helped to tell this story.

You can see here that I created a grassy area using the Color Kitz to ground my photo and show off the gorgeous mixed media goodies!

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?!
