Using Shimmerz March 2025 Color Kitz | Hello Spring by Stephanie Dang

 Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share my next layout 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 set features fun pop of colors like hot pink, lime green, and purple. A few black a white mixture in there to make any layout pop! You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.

Step 1: Start with black and white floral paper for the background. Trim off 1/4" off each edge of white cardstock, and prep with gesso. Let dry.

Step 2: Take Coloringz (Don't Citron Me), unscrew the spray, and tap on top right of page. Use a brush a add water and move the color around to create an irregular look. Take Coloringz (Pink Stilettos), and repeat the same process by tapping and moving color around center. Last, take this month's exclusive Shimmerz (Stay Posy-tive), add water to the container, and mix with brush. Dab that color on the bottom left of page, and move it by using a brush with water. Let everything dry before adhering this to the background.

Step 3: Add the orange, mustard yellow, pink, green, and blue sticker postage to layout. The two at bottom will slightly layer on top of the other 3 postage above. 

Step 4: Add the purple and lime green frames with windows from center to right side of page.

Step 5: Add your photos, and embellish as seen.

Merry | Green, Orange, Gray Shimmerz Paints Products

 Hello Shimmerz Fans,

Today's layout features a play on words; basically I've used a Christmas-related word for a Summer themed layout. It's all explained down below; you can grab the Shimmerz Products I used HERE and watch the process video HERE.

I began by adding gesso to a sheet of white cardstock and selected my 3 main colors for mixed media, orange, green and gray, which pair well with the colors from the photos. In Shimmerz terms, these color were Freshly Squeezed, Carrot Top, Don't Citron Me, Honey Do List, Granny Gray, and Thunderstorm. I wanted to created a horizontal spread of colors so I held the base up in the air while spraying the three colors. While they were still wet, I tilted and turned the page every which way to that they would spread and blend a bit. Afterwards, some splatters of the same colors were added to their own section.

While the base was drying, I began to hand stitch the switchable Merry cutfile (grab it here) with some red thread; once done, I cut out the excess cardstock and popped it up on craft foam. I also backed my photos with red cardstock to match the cutfile. Now came the other fun part! I dove up my stash of embellishments for those that were orange, green and/or gray (mainly used those from Paige Evan's Bungalow Lane and Pebbles Kid At Heart collections. I assembled my layout like you see in the pictures and called it done! Through and through, it was a quick and easy layout to complete. Close-ups are done below!

That's it! Thank you so much for joining me today; I hope I've inspired you in some way to get your story documented. Be sure to use my name (LORIMAR) in the comments section of your next Shimmerz Order so you can receive a freebie!

Color Challenge - Don't Citron Me | Kelly Janes

Hey there, friends! Have you taken part in the Autumn Shimmerz Color Challenge? The color I chose, for this challenge, is Don't Citron Me Coloringz. I find green to be a challenging color and it's definitely not something I naturally gravitate towards, so I knew it would be a great color to choose for the challenge!

I started my 12x12 scrapbook layout by adding a layer of clear gesso to the background. I then used heavy black gesso with a spiderweb stencil to add a bit of detailing to the background. I then took the Don't Citron Me Coloringz and sprayed it directly onto the background. 

Once the green was dry, I sprayed Ruby Spritz and Lil' Yellow Skool Bus Coloringz onto a scrap piece of packaging. I mixed those colors together with a paintbrush to create a deep orange color and then used the packaging technique to add that color to the background in a few different areas. I think it's so fun to add the color to the background using different techniques (packaging technique, using a paintbrush, spraying directly on the background, etc.)! You get a different look with each technique!

I then moved onto embellishing. I grabbed multiple Halloween themed embellishments and 4 photos of my kiddo when he was trick or treating. I had so much fun layering the embellishments on the background! I love how the mixed media background peeks out from behind the photos and embellishments!

Now you can take a look at my process video!

I hope you'll play along with the challenge this month! Remember to use the hashtag #shimmerzcolorchallenge when posting online!

Hello Summer Art Journal | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a fun Art Journal Page. I wanted to create something summer related. I actually haven't been creating as much as i'd like lately so I wanted to capture the Summer Vibes before Summer is over. LOL. I decided a fun Art Journal Page would be perfect.

I began by ripping up some washi tape into strips and using several sizes going diagonally throughout the page. The washi tape acts like a mask. I then used some of my favorite color mists and sprayed directly over the tape. I used Colorigz in Pink Stilettos, Don't Citron Me, No Yoking and Heido Ho Blue. I also used a Vibez in Sweetheart I was sure to spread the colors around so that I would have them spread out evenly throughout the page. 

 Once I added all of my colors I carefully peeled off the washi tape strips to reveal the diagonal pattern. I used a textured paper towel to blot the paint and that created some fun texture too.

I added some fun Summer themed puffy stickers from Paperhouse Productions in a cluster in the center of the spread. Lastly I used a circle stencil and added a border around the whole spread using the amazing Dazzlerz in Pucker up Pink.

That added the perfect finishing touch. I love how this turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Products Used:

Coloringz: Pink Stilettos, Don't Citron Me, No Yoking, Heidi Ho Blue

Vibez: Sweet Heart

Dazzlerz: Pucker up Pink

Scrapbooking Tutorial with Irit

Hi! Irit here with a new project, and this time I'm using a super fun and easy technique that really makes a statement. Here's my finished layout-

I used a Heidi Swapp mask of a flower, and misted it with some of my favorite mists: Coloringz in No Yolking, Pink Stilettos, Don't Citron Me, Peachy Keen and Pretty in Pink.

After misting the mask, I used it like a big stamp on my background. The effect is so beautiful, and this took no time at all.

The papers and embellishments I used are from the Pretty Little Studio Here Comes The Sun collection. 

I created a video tutorial showing exactly how I created this project-

Seriously, This Happened | Adrienne Alvis

Hello Shimmerz fans! I'm here today sharing a simple layout that I created using a variety of Vibez and Coloringz spray inks! 

Using spray inks are my favorite way to add color to my layouts. I started by choosing some really bright and vivid colors for my page and took the nozzle out so I could create some very simple and basic multicolored circles on the white cardstock that I chose to use for my background design. I just dipped the end of the nozzle piece into the ink bottle and created circles with it. 

After the ink dried, I placed some Dear Lizzy Black Varnish stickers on top of the painted circles so they would really pop off of the page. I layered two faux photo strips of my daughter and I to the right side and added a couple of Hip Kit Club die cuts around the strips for added color and dimension. 

I added my title by using a cut file cut out of black cardstock and another Hip Kit Club die cut to finish off my page. I also added a few heart-shaped Dear Lizzy Black Varnish stickers to draw the eye around my page and to my title.

Shimmerz Paints Used: Coloringz - Don't Citron Me, No Yoking, Mandarin Mai Tai, Punked Up Purple; Vibez - Cold As Ice, Razzledazzle Berry

I love how fun and colorful this layout turned out to be just by using some colorful Shimmerz ink and a simple design! 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a very colorful and creative day!
