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 yellow white chevron paper. Add white gesso towards left of page. Let dry.

Step 2: Have a cup of water ready and a water brush. Add some colors to the page starting with Lapis Dance Creamer towards the bottom left side of page as seen. Using extra water to move the color around. Now, take the Butter Believe It Shimmerz (this month's exclusive color), and do the same towards the upper right of page. Using the same yellow, add some splatters around page.

Step 3: Cut a strip from the flower drawn pinkish paper to add towards right of photo. Frame photo(s) with white cardstock. Adhere to page.

Step 4: Add all ephemeras, and end with smaller embellishments.

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints MAY 2025 Color Kitz, Creamer Lapis Dance, Shimmerz Butter Believe It (this month's exclusive color), gesso, white cardstock, foam adhesive, enamels, and regular adhesive.

May Color Kitz - Winning Whimsy || Natalie Dill

Hey friends! Natalie here using the May Color Kitz! This color palette is gorgeous and will carry you through the long hot summer so well.

May Color Kitz:

A Bright Fuchsia Coloringz - exclusive color!
Mustard Seed Vibez
Angels Kiss Inklingz
Paradise Punch Creameez
Moulin Rouge Shimmerz
1 exclusive Blooming Butterfly cut file created by Shimmerz Paints
1 set of Silver embellishing floss
1 set of "Sweet Thing" Dotz
1 set of Watercolor Butterfly Ephemera stickers

This exclusive butterfly cut file is GORGEOUS! I painted it, but you could also back it and it would be stunning. You can find a full process video of this layout on my YouTube channel.

I painted a couple of other die cut butterflies and wanted them to be the star of the show, so I stuck to simple splatters on the background of my paper.

The silver floss included in the kit goes so well with the beautiful, warm colors. I used the floss to create a thread tangle in three spots on the layout.

I also let the silver floss dictate the color of my title and sewing thread around the border of my page!

I painted a die cut doily with the same technique used for the butterflies to create a layering piece for my photo.

How lovely are those butterfly stickers?!

I threw on some Nuvo crystal drops to bring in the silver color too.

I love how the embossed bits of the butterflies allow the paint to fill in - so beautiful!

The exclusive Dotz are in the brightest colors and are super versatile with their sayings - they can go on so many pages.

Please make sure to grab your May Color Kitz in the store before they fly away!

Thanks for looking!

xoxo, Natalie

August Color Kitz Inspiration & Process Video | Amanda Baldwin

Hi Shimmerz Friends & Fans!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing a lil inspiration

(complete with process video)

with our gorgeous August Color Kitz!

This month's Color Kitz is absolutely stunning!

Such pretty colors! & just check out that exclusive ice cream cut file!!!

Colorz featured are:

Vibez Hermit the Frog

Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue

Inklingz Sunkissed

Shimmerz Pink

Plus Sprinkle Time! sequins from our friends at SpiegelMomScraps.

If you're super quick, you *might* be able to snare one still before they completely sell out!

Shop August Color Kitz HERE

I couldn't wait to get creating with this beautiful kit!

Here's what I came up with.....

"Bloom & Grow"

Oh my heart! Isn't this so pretty!

And before you ask about the ice cream cut file, let me tell you that my moody cutting machine ate every single one of those ice cream cones! I know, right?! So frustrating!

On the upside, digital files keep forever, & I'll try cutting it again after I've updated my software, lol!

I've also opted for a 'clean look' mixed media page - lots of controlled painting for this sweet page!

Here's a closer look at my layout....

Whoa! So.much.pretty!!!

Turns out you don't have to use the cut file to maximize the awesomeness of this kit!

I began my layout by painting a bunch of blooms and leaves from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Sophisticated" pattern paper (Midnight collection) using ALL the colors!

Where's the Heidi Ho Blue, I hear you ask?

Well, to create those darker green leaves I mixed Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue with Vibez Hermit the Frog - so you kinda get a bonus 'extra' color in your kit ;)

Once dry, I fussy cut all the florals and arranged onto the 12 x 12 white cardstock base.

Next, I sprayed some scrap paper with pure Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue.

With this newly created blue paper, I punched a few butterflies, and even backed it to my photograph for added interest.

In keeping with the butterfly adornments, I just couldn't resist using the beautiful

Butterfly Beauties Dotz

Aren't they the perfect embellishment?!

You can shop them HERE

Here's a closer look at them on my layout....

Beauties, indeed!

The pretty yellow & lime butterfly coordinates perfectly with the Vibez Hermit the Frog painted leaves. Love it!

For finishing touches, I add my title Bloom & Grow also from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight collection, & end with scattering lots of Spinkle Time! sequins onto my page....
