Gather | Shimmerz Paints September Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 Hello, friends! I'm so excited to finally work with the new September Color Kitz!

This time I created a very simple layout that is minimal but still has a lot of interesting things to see.

I began by painting the flowers on the coloring sheet that comes in the kit. I used Vibes "Mango Tango" and Creameez "Rednecking". 

I set the flowers to the side to dry and added some clear heat-embossed flowers randomly in the area around where I wanted my photo. Then I used Coloringz "In Deep" and the packaging technique to add color to the white cardstock. I also added some splatters with the nozzle and paintbrush to get different sizes.

Next, I die cut my title from one of the patterned papers and some leaves from whit cardstock. I chose to leave the leaves white because I only wanted a few colors on my page.

Finally, I clustered all of my chosen elements around my photo and framed the white cardstock with another piece of patterned paper.

I love how this layout turned out. There are so many different shapes and textures that add a lot of interest to this minimal layout. If you would like to see this layout come together you can check out the video below. Be sure to head over to the Shimmerz Shop to see more details about the beautiful September Color Kitz!

Anniversary Scrapbook Layout | Melissa Minor | September 2024 Color Kitz

 

Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor here and I'm super excited to be sharing a scrapbook layout with you using the September 2024 Color Kitz. I created today's layout to celebrate my two year dating anniversary with my boyfriend Dale. We started dating back in September 2022. 💖 This is my favorite picture of us. I've been waiting for just the right papers to scrap it. The Color Kitz this month is it! I knew right away I wanted to use the beautiful cut file that came in the kit. I printed it on black cardstock. I backed the cut file with various patterned papers from the Color Kitz. I think this cut file is the star of my page. It's absolutely gorgeous! 

I wanted the cut file to really pop. So, I applied Shimmerz-Limoncello from the kit and Vibez-Mustard Seed behind the flower. I thought the yellow color behind the flower looked like sunshine peeking through. For my title I used a stamp/die from my stash. I die cut the words "I Love". Then I stamped a couple sentiments and backed them with the pink patterned paper. I distressed the edges of all the papers.

Next it was time to embellish my layout. I used the pre-cut flowers from the ephemera pack. I did trim off the white edges with my scissors. I thought the flowers needed some leaves. I took out a sheet of mixed media cardstock and painted the whole sheet with the Vibez-Moss-Terious Green. I used some dies and cut leaves from that sheet. I love how shimmery the leaves look. They are so pretty and just what the page needed. I added the heart dotz and some yellow pearls to finish today's layout. I like how the yellow in the dotz and the yellow in the pearls draws the yellow painting out.

The September Color Kitz is stunning. If you place an order on the Shimmerz Paints website be sure to leave my name in the comments sections to receive a free gift. You can add my name to every order you place. I think today's layout is my absolute favorite page in my album. You can watch the whole process in the linked video below. I hope this has given you some inspiration for the Color Kitz this month! Have a great week! 

Happy Crafting,

 To make this page, I applied a layer of clear gesso and let it dry. I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto Bo Bunny paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and  made a mat too. I added  layers of corrugated cardboard. I taped on                              flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on                                                                           Shimmerz Paints.  I rubbed on gold mica powder on different areas. 

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal,iridescent wrapping paper, chipboard, tulle,flowers,pressed flowers, an orange feather, sticks and pressed flowers from my yard, gold leaf, copper leaf,

and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.The metal clog and clock face above the orange flowers are from my friend Lisa Landry.The feathers are from my sister in law's Liz Rysdyk's, backyard. Many of the textural items are from Reneabouquets.

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

This is an 8 x 5 1/2 " journal I covered with watercolor paper. I wanted to be able to use it every day, so I didn't put as many items on as I usually do. I also wanted it to match my kitchen, so I used a lot of blue. Peacock's Plume and Blue My Mind are two of my all-time favorite colors.

 To make this cover, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture  Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor                                                                                        paper.

I taped on flowers,glued on beads and other items, and brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold and aqua mica powder on different areas. I added some white gesso because things were gettting too busy looking.                       

To add visual interest I added seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal, chipboard, tulle, flowers,,shells, pearls,sealing wax, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Some of the textural items are from Reneabouquets. I used fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.

Inklingz:  Blue My Mind, First Blush, Dear John Letter, Spotlight White,and Twinkle Twinkle.

Shimmerz: Peacock's Plume, Precious Metal
