Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor @cards.by.melissaminor here on the blog today. I'm creating a Mother's Day layout using the May 2025 Color Kitz. I started my layout by using a tearing tool and tearing the yellow goose paper. I wanted to use this paper because it really reminded me of my boyfriend Dale's Mom. She has a paper mache goose in her house that she made. She's super crafty and has pointed out this goose to me many times. I mean this paper couldn't be any more perfect. The photos I'm documenting are of Dale's Mom Sandy and his Dad Albert. They are such a cute couple!
After I finished tearing my paper I added a strip of mixed media cardstock that I painted. I added both of the greens from the kit this month Olive Branch-Spritz and Arti-Choked-Vibez. Then I added a little yellow distress oxide ink and a layer of the brand new Butter Believe It-Shimmerz. I made an oopsy when cutting my papers so I cut my page to 11x11 to cover my mistake. Then I matted onto a sheet of 12x12 white cardstock.
I then took several of the pieces of ephemera from the kit and layered around my page. I created three embellishment clusters. These clusters are in a triangle and really help draw your eye around the page. Some of the ephemera pieces I layered up using foam tape for extra dimension.
To finish the layout I used several of the sequins from the May Bonus Bundle. If you'd like to watch my layout come together I have a process video linked below. Remember when you place an order on the Shimmerz Paints website add my name -Melissa Minor-to the notes section to receive a free gift.
Thanks friends! I'll be back next month to create with the June Color Kitz!
