Simple Birthday Cards Using the July Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with my second project for the month using the July Color Kitz Bundle!  I made 3 simple birthday cards with the kits.  To make the cards I used the color cut apart sheet and used my paints to paint all the cute graphics on it.  I then fussy cut all of them out.  I made A2 cards that are 5.5"x4.24"

 

The first card I worked on was this one that says "Enjoy your day".  I used the green leafy paper and cut it to 5.25"x4" to make the background.  I used a cluster of 3 strawberries and popped them up on foam tape.  I used the "Enjoy" sticker and made the rest of the sentiment with my label maker.

For my next card I used the yellow watercolor paper and some lemons from the color and cut sheet.  I used the "SWEET" sticker for the main part of my sentiment and used my label maker to make the rest of the sentiment.

For my last card I used the pink watercolor paper and cut it to 5.25"x4" to make the background.  I clustered some strawberries, leaves, and flowers from the color and cut sheet.  I used the "HAPPY" sticker for the first part of the sentiment and my label maker to make "DAY" to complete the sentiment.

I'm so glad you popped on here to read about my card making process.  I hope that this gives you some inspiration on how to use your kit.  If you grab anything from the shop, please use my name Nicole in the shopping cart to get a little freebie with your order.  Here is a link to the July Color Kitz Bundle: https://www.shimmerzpaints.com/collections/shimmerz-paints-color-kitz/products/color-kitz-the-july-2024-complete-bundle-collection

When life hands you lemons, make cake | July Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

Hello again, friends! Well, I never thought I would want to hang a layout about a cake on my wall but this layout has changed my mind. I will definitely be keeping this one on display for a while.

I began this layout by using a bunch of sprays to "paint" the lemons and leaves on the coloring sheet that comes in the kit. I started with the sprays that come in the kit and added several from my stash. Here is what I used: Coloringz-No Yolking (kit color), Color Splash-Squeeze The Day (kit color), Spritz-You're The Zest, Spritz-Tuscan Sun, Spritz-Bamboo Leaf, Vibes-Frost Bite, and Vibes Frogget Me Not.

Then I fussy cut the lemons and chose other elements from the kit that I wanted to use. Once I had them arranged, I glued them to each other so I could move them around as one piece.

At this point, I pulled a stencil from my stash and sponged on some Coloringz-No Yolking to add some interest underneath the cluster. I also grabbed some glitter alphas from my stash for the rest of my title: When life hands you lemons, Make Cake.

I am in love with how bright and happy this layout is! It fills my heart with joy.😄💛🔆

I hope it brings you joy also. 

You can check out my process video below. 

Don't forget to add my name to your Shimmerz order for a free paint.

                      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 applied a layer of clear gesso and let it dry. I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto 49 and Market 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 seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal,iridescent wrapping paper, chipboard, tulle,lace, flowers,pressed flowers,shells, pearls, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Many of the textural items are from Reneabouquets

 Inklingz:  First Blush,Honeymoon , Imperial Amethyst, Penny 4 Your Thoughts,Spotlight White, Dear John Letter

Shimmerz: Run! Forest, Precious Metal.

Blingz + Shimmerz - Gold Glimmer

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

Today is all about FUN - Using the July Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with my first project this month using the July Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting a picture of my youngest enjoying her birthday mochi.

The first thing I did for this layout was make these super cute flowers.  I painted a sheet of foundations paper with all the colors from this months kit.  For the pinks and yellows, I cut out 3 different sized circles to make one flower.  I folded the edges up and placed a chrome brad in the center of them.  Then I cut leaves from the green part of my paper and some white cardstock for the little white flowers.

Before I stuck down all my flowers and leaves to my page I made sure to splatter it with this months colors as well.

I then just glued all my flowers and leaves down with art glitter glue.  I started going through the die cuts that came with the kit and added a bunch through out the flowers.

I added a little banner piece to the top that says "Today is all about FUN" for my title and added my journaling to the bottom of the page and that't it!

Thanks so much for stopping by to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas on how to use your Shimmerz products.  You can find the Color Kitz Bundle here: https://www.shimmerzpaints.com/collections/shimmerz-paints-color-kitz/products/color-kitz-the-july-2024-complete-bundle-collection

Until next time, Nicole

 

When Life Gives You Lemons | Sarah Millerhouse | July 2024 Color Kitz

Hello friends! I am so excited to share my first layout featuring the July Color Kitz! I absolutely LOVE the colors in this kit! It’s one of my favorite Kitz ever!

I started by adding color across the middle horizontally! I added both the yellow shades (Coloringz - No Yolking and Color Splash - Squeeze the Day) and let them blend and mix! I then used a stencil and ink from my stash to add little pie piece shapes that I thought looked like lemons! I then layered on the Shimmerz - Berry Smart to add a touch of pink! I added this with a brush and then went back and moved it around and smudged it with a piece of packaging. 

I also painted the paintable ephemera sheet included in the Kitz and fussy cu
t out the images! This is where many of the beautiful strawberries and lemons came from! I also fussy cut lemons and leaves from patterned paper in the collection! 

I added my photos in a strip down the middle, matted with patterned paper from the collection. I LOVE all the patterned papers on the July Kitz!! It was then time for some fun layering up the ephemera and pieces I had fussy cut around the photos! I had so much fun doing this and enjoyed every second of it! 

I also layered in some tangled thread and the BEAUTIFUL sequins from the Bonuz Bundle! I added in a few more pieces of ephemera and my block of journaling! I had to print it in super tiny font since I had so much to say about this day! (Tip: I always go back and look to see if and what I posted about on Facebook about different life events with my kids. Often times, this makes the journaling process more specific and full of details that I might’ve otherwise forgotten. On this layout, I was able to print my exact words from the Facebook post and capture everything I wanted to remember!)

I added a little of the paint in places where most of it was covered, and then I added coordinating Pops of Color around my clusters. 

I have all the details in the full process video here: Process Video
