April 2025 Color Kitz | Hello Spring Layout | Stephanie Dang

Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share my project using this month’s color kitz. If you would like to see more of my work or follow me, please find me at https://www.instagram.com/paperandi/ and https://paperandi07.blogspot.com. This kit is so fun and filled with bright cheerful colors. You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

Step 1: Start with the black and white paper for the background.  Trim 1/4" off each edge of grid paper. Prep paper with gesso and let dry.

Step 2: Add Orange Sherbet Shimmerz, Mustard Seed Vibez, and this month exclusive kit color: Shimmerz Wee Bit O' Green. Using a brush and water- move those colors around one color at a time with a combo of color and water.

Step 3: Trim green butterfly paper to about 5"x 5".  Trim the diamond paper to  about 3.5" x 5". Trim polka dot paper to about 1" x 6".  I never measure exactly and only eye ball papers to my liking.. so this is a rough estimate. The outcome shouldnt be much of a difference.

Step 4: Layer the papers as seen in photo. Add the photos framed in white cardstock.

Step 5: Play around with embellishments.

Step 6: Add your title and finish with stitching around the borders.

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints APRIL 2025 Color Kitz,  Shimmerz Orange Sherbet, Vibez Mustard Seed, Shimmerz Wee Bit O' Green (exclusive kit color), gesso, white cardstock, foam adhesive, sewing machine and thread, and regular adhesive.
