Falling for These Moments | November Color Kitz | These Days Cocoa Vanilla Studios Collection

Hello Shimmerz Family!

As the days continue to cool down (at least on my side of the world) and we are gearing up for the upcoming family festivities, it is always great to take some time to enjoy the extraordinary ordinary moments with our loved ones. Today's layout features all the components of the superbly gorgeous November Color Kitz which you can purchase here; I also have a process video on my channel.

It was fairly simple and quick layout to make, so let's get started!

I began with a sheet of textured, white cardstock which I had prepped beforehand with clear gesso (white gesso will work just as well here, too!). Once the gesso was dry, I sprayed Rock-A-Fella Blue unto the background, followed by splatters of Tarnished Treasure and Greener Pastures. While my base was drying, I began to work with the leaves (cutfile included in the Colorz Kitz) which I colored with Egg Noggin', Tarnished Treasure, and Golden Wheat. After they were dry, I backed with a wood patterned paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios These Days Collection.

Once all my elements were dried, it was all downhill from here and very easy to assemble. I first stuck down the text cutfile in the center of the base and added a photo on either side (each photo was matted on patterned paper and popped up on craft foam). Then I arranged two leaves and some embellishments around the photos. Added in the Dotz and splattered some extra Rock-A-Fella Blue and Golden Wheat to finish things off. Journaling was added beneath the title of the cutfile using gold ink.

That's it! Before I forget, be sure to include my name in the comments section of your next Shimmerz order to get a freebie.

Thank you so much everyone for joining me today!

Have a Shimmery day!

Mixed Media Home Decor with Daisie Scraps

 Hi everyone!  Today I have a super easy home decor piece you can create using a cut file and some Shimmerz Paints.

 Products I used:

• Blingz Pixie Dust
• Blingz Spiced Cider 
• Coloringz Scarlett's Fever
• Inklingz Gosh Garnet
• Shimmerz Sunflower 
• Blingz Gold-N-Roses 
• Shimmerz Sugar Plum  

 

To start, choose and cut your cut file.  I used Kraft cardstock to create the fall theme I was aiming for.  Next, I traced the cut file onto a white piece of cardstock using a white gel pen.  You could easily use a pencil for this step, just trace lightly so that your lines don't show when finished. 

 

 Once everything is traced you can start the fun process of painting in all of the spaces.  This is a great project for new mixed media peeps because if you go outside the lines a bit it won't ruin your project.  The paint is going on the back layer so little mistakes will be covered.  Just be aware of the spacing of the cut files pieces so the colors don't run into nearby shapes.   I also tried to mix up my colors so that like colors were separated a bit.  

I chose to use the Blingz Pixie Dust to paint the words on the cut file because I wanted them to be shimmery but neutral.  This is a great option for this because it is white and full of shimmer.  Then I chose a variety of colors in my fall color scheme which includes purple and pinks.  Colors like Gold-N-Roses, Sugar Plum, and Gosh Garnet are fantastic options for fall.  

When my paint was dry, I added the kraft piece of cardstock to the top.  I carefully lined up the cut file to the painted pieces and adhered it down.  I used the "off" cuts of the cut file to embellish the remaining kraft cardstock space around the cut file.  This added some texture and interest without taking any attention away from the painted cut file.  To finish, I simply put the whole thing into a 12x12 frame that I had and voila I had a prefect piece for above my mantle! 

Head on over to YouTube and check out the process video for more information.  I hope that this inspired everyone to give this technique a try!  Don't forget if you add my name to the comments of your next purchase you will get a mini freebie along with your order!  If you order in the month of November you will get a second freebie of a Turkey Dotz!  So be sure to get your order in soon!

Colorful Autumn | Audrey Yeager

 Hello and happy fall!!  One of my most favorite things about living the the Northeastern US is the changing of the seasons.  Our autumns are full of vibrance and color, and I wanted to capture that on my page using my Shimmerz products!

I began by covering my background patterned paper with gesso.  Then I added tried out some yellows mists as a base including Spritz in Chickadee and Tuscan Sun.  Then to deepen the shade, I added a Vibez in Rolling in the Hay. 

Using a burst pattern stencil, I then went over the yellow base with some oranges, greens, and red shades including Coloringz Mandarin Mai Tai, Vibez in Palm Reader, and a Spritz in Caribbean Sunset. 

To add some texture, I started with some Dazzlerz in Coral Me Crazy, and mixed in some Mandarin Mai Tai and Caribbean Sunset to make a brighter orange color.  I used a palette knife to spread it through the stencil. Finally, I added a few splatters of Coloringz in Moody Mauve.

For embellishments, I punched some leaves from colored papers, and backed a cut file for the title.  A few little clusters of some chipboard trees, some wood veneers, and journaling to top it all off!

You can watch the whole process below:

Thank you and happy fall!!

Fall Leaves Mixed Media Layout - Daisie Scraps

 Hi everyone!  Daisie here sharing my first Shimmerz DT layout!  I'm so excited to be here!  I decided that with fall just around the corner it's time to start getting into the fall scrapping mood.  I pulled out 2 cute 4x6 photos of my youngest and a friend playing in the leaves and used that as my starting inspiration.  

 

Here is a list of the Shimmerz products I used for this layout:

• Foilz - Mother of Pearl
• Inklingz - Penny 4 Your Thoughts
• Inklingz - Tarnished Treasure
• Creameez - Refresh Mint
• Shimmerz - Teal The End Of Time
• Shimmerz - Sugar Plum
  
• Blingz - Gold-N-Roses 
• Shimmerz - Coffee 
• Vibez - Pink Moscato 
  

I started with a piece of white cardstock.  I thought I was going to paint my leaves directly onto the background of my paper so I mapped out my original design idea and started creating my leaves.  To do this I used an embossing stylet to "draw" my leaves out.  The stylet creates a raised edge on the opposite side of the paper which is perfect for filling in with paints without worrying too much about going outside the lines.  I "drew"  all of the leaves I thought I was going to use and then started painting.  

I used quite a few different Shimmerz products to get the colors and effects that I was aiming for (see product list for all of the colors used!).  I wanted to have some of the leaves look like they were turning so I mixed some of the light green shades with browns and deeper teals.  I realized that I didn't have any orange colors and decided to use the purples and deeper pink colors.  It worked out perfectly!  

I quickly abandoned my original layout plan and decided to cut out the leaves I had created.  I then stitched down the center of each using gold thread.  I pulled out some kraft cardstock for my background because it went great with the color of my leaves.  Then I started playing!  I sprinkled Gold-N-Roses and Pink Moscato all over the background in a diagonal.  I pulled out some scrap pieces of paper and fussy cut out some butterflies and some phrases.  The butterflies I jazzed up using the Foilz in Mother of Pearl.  It adds all of the shimmer with no color.  It's perfect to add that special sparkle to any plain embellishment.  After that I just kept embellishing around my leaves.  They really put you in the fall state of mind! 

 

Don't forget to add my name (Daisie) to the comments on your next purchase for a fun mini freebie.  Please check out my video to see the complete process!

 

I had a lot of fun creating this layout!  I hope you enjoy it!  I can't wait to see everyone's favorite colors to use for fall!  Thanks for stopping by!

Shimmerz Fall Foilage

Hey Shimmerz fanz! I hope you are having a wonderful week. Ericka here with a fall card I made using some gorgeous Shimmerz paints.

So this month we have a Shimmerz Team Color Challenge going on. The goal was is to challenging ourselves to pick a color to use on our projects that we might not typically use.  I choose So Sappy, which at first I thought was a light brown color but when you layer it you get a soft orange-ish/gold hue as well.

I love these colors together and the So Sappy in the background is so pretty.

I stamped my leaves from Reverse Confetti's Fall Foliage, on watercolor paper and masked off the top and bottom sections to get a clean line. I used clear embossing powder over the Versfine ink so that my lines on my leaves would remain crisp.
I then painted my leaves with the following Shimmerz products: Pumpkin, Crimson Tide, and Bumble Bee. I added a little bit of the other colors to the leaves to give them a fall color changing look. Once the leaves were dry, I used So Sappy Shimmerz for the background.

 Once my paints were dry, I went over the background with some black paint splatters and then removed the tape and added some black pen lines to define my background.

 That's all for me today. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget if you make a purchase on our new website, type in ERICKA in the comments and you'll receive a freebie with your order!

Fall | Kelly Janes

Hey Shimmerz fans! Kelly here today with a new 12x12 Fall themed scrapbook layout!

I started my layout today by grabbing the Paige Evans Truly Grateful Collection and three Shimmerz colors that match; Cotton Candy Spritz, Plum Pudding Spritz, and Sweetheart Vibez. I added clear and white gesso to the background patterned paper before adding any of the mists.

I cut a Fall themed cut file from The Cut Shoppe using the Truly Grateful 6x8 patterned papers and used those 3 colors behind the cut files. I used the packaging technique, a brush, splattered and misted the colors directly on the background to get the coverage I was looking for.

I then adhered the cut file images on top of the mixed media. The colors were a little too bold in the center of each letter so I painted watered down white acrylic paint in the opening of each letter to mute the mixed media in that area.

I then moved onto adding 8 tiny photos and embellishing. I grabbed multiple Fall themed embellishments from the same Paige Evans collection and I also added hand-stitching around each of the letters to help them pop off the background.

Now you can take a look at my process video to see how this layout came together from start to finish.

I love how versatile the Shimmerz mists are and how the possibilities are endless! 

Color Kitz for the Besties with Natalie

Hey friends, Natalie here with some new inspiration using this month's Missy Whidden September color Kitz! The price on this kitz is $18.95.

The Missy Whidden Color Kit includes:

• Coloringz Well Blue Me Down
• Shimmerz Pinko de Mayo
• Inklingz First Blush
• Inklingz Good as Gold
• 3 exclusive Dotz
• Exclusive Cut File by Paige Evans

I love these girly colors, and for someone who doesn't typically make many "girly" pages, I decided to change things up! I also am SO ready for fall, so I decided to embellish the exclusive cut file with some fall leaves.

I applied clear gesso to a white piece of cardstock and threw all 4 of these colors down in different sections. They dried so beautifully, and then I used the paper to cut out different leave shapes.

You can see the full process here on my YouTube channel.

Teal, pink & gold as a fall palette is unique to me & I love it! The muted color I chose to cut out the ampersand cut file really allows the fall leaves colored with the Kitz to pop.

I applied clear gesso to my background paper in order to add splatters with Whale Blue me Down, Pinko de Mayo and Good as Gold. The gesso makes the colors dry vibrantly rather than soaking into the paper. I added some succulent die cuts for an additional fall vibe.

The gold really pops out the most to me overall! I also added sequins and some turquoise pearls from my stash for additional texture. 

Creating your own "patterned" paper for die cuts is a great way to use controlled mixed media on a scrapbook page if the process makes you nervous. Spreading the inks and paints on a gessoed paper is basically foolproof because when you die cut, they turn out beautifully!

The exclusive Dotz add some great dimension to the page. I love to use them in embellishment clusters.

I love all the texture and dimension, most of which comes from bending up portions of  the exclusive cut file the die cut, painted leaves. The gesso & paint help the paper to be super sturdy which helps with dimension too.

I hope you feel inspired to maybe use some unusual color palettes on your fall layouts and let the design and  other elements set the seasonal tone! I had so much fun creating this layout, and you and still grab a Missy Kitz on the Shimmerz website.

You can also grab a September Color Kitz here for a more traditional fall color scheme.

Thank you for looking today!
