Simply Enjoy Life Card | Melinda Beltran

Happy Saturday Shimmerz friends!
Melinda here with you today and i'm excited to share this fun card I created.

Here's a look at my card. I started by creating an A2 top folding base from some white cardstock. I then cut a mat from some medium purple cardstock. 

Next, I went to work creating my background. I used a piece of white cardstock and then painted several colors of Shimmerz and Inklingz paints onto the background to create this background. Once the paints were dry, I added a layer of Puttin' On The Glitz Pasteez. This added a layer of sparkle to the shimmer.

Here is another view of the mat. It is so pretty in real life with the shimmer of the Shimmerz paint, the pearly look of the Inklingz and the sparkle.

Next, I added some scalloped heart die cuts, some tiny flowers and some butterflies. I also added a strip of ribbon with a bow.

I added a variety of butterflies in various colors and sprinkled some sequins around them.

I finished off my card by adding a sentiment from the Simply Enjoy Stampz set.

Here is one last look at my finished card.

Start The Day Right | Melinda

Hello crafty friends!
Melinda here with you today and I am excited to share my latest "Shimmery" project with you.

Here's my card. I started with a soft cream cardstock, to create an A2 Top folding base. 

For my mat, I cut a piece of watercolor paper to 4 x 5.25. I then took my Bumbly Bee Shimmerz paint and spread some on an acrylic block.

I took the solid floral stamp from the Fresh Start Stamp set and "smooshed" it into the paint.

I then "stamped" it onto my mat. I started by stamping in the top left corner.

I then repeated the steps by stamping on the edges first.

I then continued to repeat the process until I had filled in the background mat. 

I finished off the mat by adding a little splatter using my So Sappy and Pumpkin Shimmerz Paints.

I then added a pretty mat from one of my border punches. and then topped it off by stamping and coloring some of the flowers from the same Fresh Start Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of paper and added it to my card. I finished off the card by adding a few sequins. I think this turned out really pretty.

Tulip Card | Melinda Beltran

Happy Saturday Shimmerz friends,

Melinda here with you today and I am excited to share my latest card creation with you!

With spring time just around the corner and with all the cold, cold weather we have been having across the United States, I thought this would be a great reminder of what's to come! My finished card size is a top folding A2 size card. 

I started by stamping my Tulip image from the Simply Enjoy Shimmerz Stampz set. I used some of the Sweet Cane Ink to stamp the image. I then proceeded to paint the tulips with some of the Bumbly Bee Shimmerz paint.

Next, I layered some of the Buddy's Favorite Color Shimmerz paint to give it some variegated. Where I was raised, they would have a large annual Tulip Festival and I would always be intrigued with these flowers that were so hearty, yet pretty and unique.

Next, I went to work on the leaves and used a combination of the Green Olive and So-Sappy Shimmerz Paints.

After finishing with the leaves, I set about to paint the background. I used the Colder Thank Ice Shimmerz paints for that soft, shimmery blue.

Once the blue was dry, I went ahead and added in some of the Golden Wheat Shimmerz paint. I wanted to warm up the background just a bit and give it some depth.

Once it was dry, I trimmed the panel down. I then splattered some water on to the piece and then dabbed up the spots. It pulled some of the paint up creating some water drop effects. I added a strip of plain red cardstock and splattered a little of my "reclaimed" water from my brush to give it some sparkly splatters. I also added a little border of twine for a little extra flair.

I stamped my sentiment and then trimmed it and added it to my card. I also scattered a few sequins for an extra touch.

Here is one last look at my completed card. It was such an enjoyable card to create. The process of painting is so relaxing and with the special shimmer of the paint, I don't have to add anything to it to get such an amazing look!

You Are Special Card | Melinda Beltran

Hello crafty friends,
Melinda here with you today and I am excited to share my latest card with you.

My card starts with an A2, top folding card from white cardstock. I then cut a mat from some plain white cardstock along with some heart shapes.

I painted some of the Crimson Tide Shimmerz paint onto the mat. I then spritzed it with some Glorious Days and Snow Storm Vibez spray. I repeated these steps until I was satisfied with the mat.

I then proceeded to color the top hearts with some Pink O De Mayo Shimmerz paint. I then adhered them to the solid hearts. 

Next, I proceeded to cut some flowers and the leaves from some more plain white cardstock. I used Pip Pip Cherry O Shimmerz to paint the flowers and some Angel Kiss Inklingz for the leaves. I love the contrast of the pearly finish the Inklingz has. I mounted my flowers and leaves onto some oval cross-stitched mats.

I finished of my card by stamping a sentiment in some berry colored ink and then adding a few sequins. I also added some pearl embellishments to the centers of the flowers.

Here is one last look at my finished card. I love the way it turned out!

Bloom Where You Are Planted | Melinda Beltran

Happy Saturday crafty friends,

Today I am over on the ShimmerzPaints.com blog sharing my latest design team creation.

Here's a look at my completed card. It is an A2, top folding card base from some Parakeet Bazzill cardstock. I then used a piece of whit cardstock for my mat. I brushed on a combination of some Marigold and Bumbly Bee Shimmerz Paints to create the shimmery Golden background.

Here's a closer view of the background. The picture doesn't accurately capture the two shades but they are there!

Next, I went to work creating my flowers. I cut them out of plain white cardstock and then painted the die cuts with my Corney Flower Blue Shimmerz Paint and Honeymoon Inklingz. I then staggered and layered the two sizes of die cuts to give the flower some fullness. I slightly curled the petals to give them some added dimension. For the leaves, I started again with plain white cardstock and then painted them with a combination of Olive U Truly Inklingz and Green Olive Shimmerz Paint.

I then created the SVG file for the pretty decorative frame and then layered that along with the flowers to my mat. Here you can see I added some pearl embellishments for a little extra flair.

I then used the Bloom Where planted sentiment from the Hello Happiness Stampz set and stamped my sentiment onto a cross stitched square die. I then cut out another cross stitched die from some green cardstock for an additional layer. I mounted both of those onto my card.

Here is one last look at my completed card. I think it turned out so vibrant and pretty. I think the recipient is really going to enjoy it.
