Love Captured - December Color Kitz by Emilie Chamel

Happy December, friends!

Emilie here using the December 2020 Color Kitz to show you how versatile this kit is by creating a non-Christmassy layout! I love these kits so much! The mediums are so easy to use in all sort of ways! Paint-brushes, sprays, splatters, full background, lettering... you name it, you can create it!

The December 2020 Color Kitz include:

• Seas The Day Vibez
• Bubblegum Blast Shimmerz
• Granny Gray Spritz
• Buddy's Favorite Color Shimmerz
• Olive Branch Spritz
• 1 exclusive layered process "By The Chimney With Care" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Oh What Fun" Dotz
• 1 package of Silver Dusting Embellishmentz

Lately I have been practicing brush lettering which gave me the idea for this background. I am so happy with how it turned out! I used a large round brush to hand-letter the word "Love" on my background with the "Bubblegum Blast" Shimmerz paint. I then fine-lined it gradually with a thinner round brush then followed with a super thin round tip brush both in more or less diluted "Buddy's favorite color" Shimmerz paint to create the impression of volume.

I splattered my background with diluted "Bubblegum Blast" and "Buddy's favorite color" shimmerz as well as with the Olive Branch Spritz.

I sprayed two pieces of white cardstock respectively with "Sea's the day" Vibez and "Granny Gray" Spritz to mat my photograph.

I tore a bit of the Granny Gray cardstock to repeat at the top right corner of my layout to balance out my design.

I decorated my layout with sequins, die-cuts and Perspextives for a mix of texture and a layering of volumes. And there you go! I am so happy with this layout and how it turned out!

Merry Christmas Day by Emilie Chamel

 

Happy December, friends!

Emilie here using the December 2020 Color Kitz for a Christmassy layout!  I love these kits! The colours are so vibrant and you can easily achieve a traditional holiday look or go for a more wintery look.

The December 2020 Color Kitz include:

• Seas The Day Vibez
• Bubblegum Blast Shimmerz
• Granny Gray Spritz
• Buddy's Favorite Color Shimmerz
• Olive Branch Spritz
• 1 exclusive layered process "By The Chimney With Care" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Oh What Fun" Dotz
• 1 package of Silver Dusting Embellishmentz

I started by covering my white cardstock with clear Gesso and then sprayed through a snowflake stencil the Seas the day Vibez. It created some very subtle snowflakes on my background.

In then splattered all the sprays to create multicolour droplets.

I painted some big cardstock snowflakes with the Buddy's favourite Colour and Bubblegum Shimmerz and some smaller ones with Seas the day Vibez. Before gluing the smaller ones to my layout, I added a small layer of Silver Dusting embellishments underneath them.

I applied a strip of double sided sticky tape either side of the white cardstock I had mounted on green cardstock and glued Silver dusting embellishments to create a tinsel effect. I then coloured two strips of white cardstock with Bubblegum Shimmerz paints and glued them on top of the meeting edges of cardstock/tinsel.

I embellished my layout with a few die-cuts and some left-over pearls from last-month's color kitz, added my journaling and title and I was happy with the final look!

Thankful for every little moment - Emilie Chamel

 

Hey friends! Emilie here today for another autumn-y layout as part of the Shimmerz Design Team. I am using the stunning November 2020 Color Kitz. which contains:

• Misty Morning Inklingz
• Don't Rain on My Parade Vibez
• Precious Metal Shimmerz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Show Me the Honey Inkling
• Going Peach Side Shimmerz
• 1 exclusive "Thankful For Every Little Moment" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Hello Fall" Dotz
• 1 package of Pearl Embellishmentz

The colours are stunning and they are all now part of my firm favourites. So much so that I have finished the "Going peach side Shimmerz" pot!!! 

As always, the Color Kitz matches perfectly with the trendiest collections of the moment. I love that I can use my kitz with papers I have just gotten my hand on!

The mists can easily be used for some packaging technique too by spraying it first onto a plastic surface and then picking it up was my packaging.

The cut file part of the kitz are a great way to create an easy layout. Painting it with my inklingsz gives it a unique look that "pops" off the page.

This layout was created using very easy entry level mixed media techniques for a minimum amount of risk of wasting material. Try it for yourself!

Fall by Emilie Chamel

 

Hey friends! Emilie here today for an autumn-y layout as part of the Shimmerz Design Team. I am using the stunning November 2020 Color Kitz. which contains:

• Misty Morning Inklingz
• Don't Rain on My Parade Vibez
• Precious Metal Shimmerz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Show Me the Honey Inkling
• Going Peach Side Shimmerz
• 1 exclusive "Thankful For Every Little Moment" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Hello Fall" Dotz
• 1 package of Pearl Embellishmentz

I decided to give the Shimmerz colors the main stage on my layout by creating a full background. It is very easy to reproduce! I divided my white cardstock in four and painted each square with Don't rain on my parade Vibez, Precious metal shimmerz, Show me the honey Inkling and going peach side Shimmerz. Once dry I added a few splatters of the same colors around.

I then layered several patterned papers, my photograph and loads of florals.

I ruffled a few threads to place under my layering and finished off with my title and the three Dotz which come with the kit.

I got this feelin’ inside my bones autumn is here with Emilie Chamel

 

Hey friends! Emilie here today for a very special project as part of the Shimmerz Design Team. I am using the stunning October 2020 Color Kitz. which contains:

• Marigold Shimmerz
• Taupe of The Mornin' Vibez
• Plum Pudding Spritz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Love Ocean #9 Vibez
• 4 Leaf Clover Spritz
• 1 exclusive "I Got This Feelin'" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Happy Hauntingz" Dotz
• 1 package of Vibrant Pom Pomz

Are you also humming the Justin Timberlake song right now? Every time I look at this cut file I just can't help myself. I think it is a super cute cut-file and I wanted to use it in a non-Halloween way as I haven't yet accumulated enough photos of Sophia over the years in an array of costumes. I felt that the colours which are part of the October kit would work perfectly with an Autumn themed layout, and I have plenty of photographs for that!

I started off by adding colours to my white cardstock using the packaging technique as well as a lot of flickers. I then coloured the cut-file (from which I had removed the skeleton) with the Marigold Shimmerz paint. Once dried I glued it directly on my background and coloured inside the letters (on the background) with the Plum Pudding spritz. I simply sprayed some colour in a painting dish and used it as I would use watercolour. Once dried I added a few fine doodles in the centre of the letters and on the cut-file with a black pen.

I played with layering lots and lots of ephemeras in autumnal colours and added to the cut-file title to make it work with my photograph. Last but not least I filled inside the letters with glossy accent to make the colour pop even more and make my title more "solid" in the midst of all the mixed media.

I love how flexible this cut-file is! So easy to still use even without Halloween photos!

September Color Kitz With Emilie Chamel

 

Hey friends! Emilie here today for a very special project as part of the Shimmerz Design Team. I am using the stunning September 2020 Color Kitz. which contains:

• Blue Jeans Vibez
• Magenta Shimmerz
• Iris My Case Shimmerz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Sage Advice Inklingz
• *COMEBACK COLOR* Butter Cream Shimmerz
• 1 exclusive Stella Layered Flower Design cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "My Happy Place" Dotz
• 1 package of Mini Rustic Crafting Clothes Pins

You can find my process video on my YouTube Channel.

Lately I have been finding my Faith again and part of my ritual is to write down in mini-book I created several months ago Verses and Scriptures which "Talk" to me and adding a text or Prayer which came out of me reading this verse. I really love and enjoy this time with Him as well as the creative process. 

My Shimmerz Paintz, Vibez and Inklings have found a central place in this book and I reach for them every time I create a new entry. I even added a little bit of  24 Karat Gold Foilz to this spread. I can't get enough of this gold and have been using it loads!

One of the thing I love to do is cerate an ombre effect with my Shimmerz, which I did here with Buttercream, Magenta and Iris M y Case.

I colored the wooden peg with the Blue Jeans Vibez and mixed some 24 Karat Gold Foilz with a little bit of Magenta on my Velum.

A few flowers and embellishments for added details and my entry was completed!

I have so much love for these products!

September Color Kitz with Emilie Chamel

Hey friends! Emilie here today for my first project as part of the Shimmerz Design Team. I am super fortunate to be using the new September 2020 Color Kitz. 

The kit contains:

• Blue Jeans Vibez
• Magenta Shimmerz
• Iris My Case Shimmerz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Sage Advice Inklingz
• *COMEBACK COLOR* Butter Cream Shimmerz
• 1 exclusive Stella Layered Flower Design cut file created by Shimmerz Paints

I used the gorgeous Stella flower cut file on white cardstock. I sprayed them with the Blue Jeans Vibez and then added a bit more color with spots of Magenta, Buttercream and Iris My Case Shimmerz. The cut file has two floral bases, 5 petal pieces and one centre rolled flower. I decided to give them even more volume by splitting some of the layers and gluing petals together.

I used the packaging technique to add more colour to my background with a touch of Magenta Shimmerz and then added flickers of colour in Magenta and Iris My Case

I folded the top left corner of the striped paper and added one of the Dotz for added detail and embellishment

I also added a small brad in the middle of the Stella Flowers for extra detail but also to make sure it will stay together throughout the years.

The colors of this Kit are right up my street and I am completely in love with them!
