Sweet Spring Day | Color Kitz Collection | Shannon Allor

 
Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this simple and sweet layout featuring the May Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle.  I zoned right in on the strawberry elements and remembered that I had this photo of my daughter aka The Baker.  I kept things simple by using the smooshing technique to add some color to some cardstock from my stash and then gathered up all of the strawberry bits.


I could not resist creating a shaker out of this little oval element.  I love the movement!


I used foam adhesive to give all of the little strawberries dimension and let them cascade from top to bottom along with some Sequinz.

Petals & Possibilities | Color Kitz | Shannon Allor

Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this fun layout featuring the May Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and Bonuz Bundle!  I loved documenting this memory of a gorgeous vineyard in Northern Michigan!  I used the included Simple Stories stencil to add a bit of textured interest!


I love that we had a customizable black and white “coloring book” to paint in.  I look forward to an afternoon of simple painting every month!


You can see all kinds of layers in this photo.  I have the diecuts, the customized bits, the Sequinz and the vibrant patterned papers all hanging out together.

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Two Hearts, One Love, A Lifetime Of Memories

 

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,sisal,shell, feathers,lace, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Stamperia papers.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

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
