The November Winter Wonderland Set with Samantha Robles

Happy November everyone! I cannot express to you how much I adore this time of year. Everything feels magical. Whether it's snowing, Christmas magic or just the endless amounts of cuddling. I love it. The November Winter Wonderland Set from the Shimmerz Paints Color Kitz is just that. It's a perfect transitional kit. You get the warm rustic colors mixed with the chilly Winter hues. It's the perfect set for November.

So, I bought these adorable chip board snow globe pieces last year. It was just a fun little random find. I started this project by painting the chip board "When Skies R Grey" Shimmerz. It took 2 coats to fully cover the chipboard and it's dark edges. While that's drying, I started on getting my Snow Wreath cut file ready to cut. This cut file was created by Paige Taylor Evans with this kit in mind. It's totally exclusive to Shimmerz Paints. Pretty cool, right?!

I try with my layouts to multi task multiple pieces at a time. That way it can all come together at one time. I found this "Snow Cute" chipboard piece in my stash from "Scrapaholics" and decided to mix things up. I mixed white acrylic paint with "Moody Mauve" Coloringz and just started painting a layer on. The acrylic will give it a good base to hold on to. After that piece has dried, I began spraying it with some more Moody Mauve. This piece I did let sit and dry overnight because I did make the mistake in over saturating it.

I LOVE how it turned out. It's got a snowy rustic look to it.

I had some leftover little flowers leftover from a previous project. I used the Mochachino and Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz on the flowers to add that cute little touch. I also picked up these fun foam snowflakes from Hobby Lobby to give this page more of a 3D effect. This kit also includes some adorable Dotz, made exclusively for this kit. I put those in the snow globe, added some sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps and it all tied together. Guys, I cannot express how this layout got me so excited for the season!

Now, run to the Shimmerz Shop before these Kitz FLY off the shelves. They do tend to go pretty quick because you're getting such a great value. Thanks a ton for stopping by!

Happy November!

Sweet, a girly layout by Karine

Hi crafty friends,

It's Karine here and I'm on the blog today to share with you my second layout for this month. I went with a girly layout this time. Here it is.

Sweet

As usual, I started my layout by covering my paper with clear gesso. After that, I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez through a stencil to add texture to my background. 

To match the colors on the paper I chose, I selected Moody Mauve Coloringz and Tuscan Sun Spritz to create some drops here and there. 

It was pretty, but I wanted to add a bit of softness to the background, so I sprayed some Caribbean Sunset Spritz here and there, to add a bit of soft pink color.

I used the Moody Mauve Coloringz to color some lace that I glued here and there in my clusters. It's so easy with the sprays!

Hydrangea layout with Yuko

Hello!everyone! Yuko here!

Now in JapanIt is the rainy season.

Rainy season of the flower is the hydrangea.

I love the beautiful purple hydrangea!

I want to introduce works that the image of a hydrangea today!

【Cherish】

This layout is  a 6-inch size.

6-inch size layout is a favorite so feel free to decorate the room.

The background colored it using a sponge of smallest various size in the image of a hydrangea.

It is mist, INKLINGZ,AQUAHUEZ,CREMMEZ to have used.

I think that there is little failure and is easy to challenge

 it as the method to do a mist with a sponge for a dish plonk,

 and to color it can color it thinly.

The flower colored it in a mist, too. This is a writing brush, too.

A color was mixed when I sprayed it and painted by a writing brush as it became dirty and divided it.

Creating Drama (the good kind) with Gabrielle!

So I printed off this dramatic gorgeous gown photo over a year ago (an image I got off of Pinterest) and had meant to do a page with rich colors and textures for quite some time now.  Finally got around to doing it (as I still had so much family pics to scrap!).  Sometimes it's fun to do a page 'just because', know what I mean?

These are the Shimmerz Paints products I used for this project....as you will see in the video tutorial, each of these products has it's own unique quality whether it be the smooth thick texture of the Dazzlerz, the deep rich tones in the Coloringz and Vibez or the incredible shimmer of the Inklingz.

NOTE:  You can purchase your Shimmerz Paints HERE.  Be sure to mention my name "Gabrielle" in the Instructions to Merchant part of your order to get your FREE/Bonus Shimmerz paint product in the color of your choice with your next Shimmerz Paints order!

As always, a project is not complete for me unless I have a nice selection of Dusty Attic Chipboard in them.  Above are the Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces I used for my project:  Ornamental Trim Set (brand new product), Word Pack #14, Lacey Heart Frame Set.....and I used a NEW Dusty Attic Stencil design called Fans.

So it's time to give yourself a little break, grab your favourite beverage and hope you enjoy watching my little video tutorial on how to make this page....Enjoy!

Hope you had fun watching my tutorial. Here are a few close-ups you can view at your leisure....

I should note that after I filmed my tutorial, I felt my design needed a little more color in the bottom right section so I added a couple more spritzes of paint and some swirls of fibre threads (from a package I got from my local dollar store).

I've had these Prima jewelled leaves sitting in my stash forever! When I was choosing my embellishing products I totally had to use these as I thought they were a good match for the colors I was using in the layout!

I'm really loving the new stencil designs from Dusty Attic, in the top right corner you can see some of the texture and design I got onto the page using the Fan stencil from Dusty Attic with my Homemade Texture Paste and some Shimmerz Paints sprays and Inkingz.

The pink and black butterflies were cut from one of my favorite Bo Bunny collections called Primrose (I used the paper called Bliss).  I also used a fun BoBunny Stamp on this page called 'Butterflies'.   TIP:  Many of you ask what to do when your paper buckles from wetting or spritzing your paper with paints and water.  One of my favorite things to do is use my hair flattening iron on the paper, its a quick and easy fix!

So I hope you enjoyed todays post and hope I've given you some inspiration to get out your scrapping/mixed media products and Shimmerz Paints and play!

Beginning the New Year with Tranquility!

Hi Shimmerz Fans! It's Gabrielle here with you today to share with you my latest Mixed Media Canvas using some of those, oh so gorgeous Shimmerz paints products!  This month I combined Shimmerz Paints with some of my favorite Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces.  I based my project on the January Mood Board from Dusty Attic.  I found all the perfect colors to match the moodboard in my Shimmerz paints stash!  Here are the Shimmerz Paints products I used for this project....

Shimmerz Paints Products used in this project:

~ Moody Mauve Coloringz

~ Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz

~ Tuscan Sun Spritz

~ Don't Be Suede Coloringz

~ A Shade of Grey Coloringz

~ Spiced Cider Blingz

~ Blue My Mind Inklingz

~ Good as Gold Inkingz

~ Gosh Garnet Inklingz

Yep, I used a lot of Coloringz...I just love the rich intense color you get with these color sprays!  As always, I created a Video Tutorial for you all, so that you can see step by step how I put this project together.  Grab yourself your favorite beverage, kick back, relax and enjoy!....

Here are a few close-ups of today's project that you can view at your leisure...

I love the lovely metalic sheen the Inklingz give to the chipboard pieces!

I like to apply my colors in 2 ways, layering them on and drying between layers....this can give a nice intense coloring to your project.  I also like to apply complimentary colors in different sections of the canvas at the same time and let the colors blend together in some areas, this creates a variety of colors on your canvas.  As you can see above adding the Blue My Mind Inklings to the Good as Gold while still wet, created a lovely hints of green on my chipboard pieces.

I love the intense blue I got with the Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz. To get even more depth of color, I added a spritz of 'A Shade of Grey' Coloringz to each of the corners layering it over the blue....this gave me deep intense color on my canvas.

I hope you all enjoyed my project and video tutorial today!  And hope I've inspired you to give these gorgeous products a go!  You can order your own Shimmerz Paints directly from their website Shimmerz Paints Store, and don't forget!....Just mention my name 'Gabrielle' in the 'Instructions to Merchant/seller' part of your next Shimmerz paint purchase and you will get a FREE/Bonus Shimmerz Paints product in the color of your choice!

Watercolor Card Video Tutorial

Hello friends!  Gabrielle here with you today!  I have a fun and easy little card tutorial to share with you all today.  It's the weekend and I wanted to have a little fun playing with some of my Shimmerz Paint products, and some of my Dusty Attic chipboard.  So I gather up a few supplies, some watercolor paper and got playing!

Here is a quick l'il video tutorial I made up to show how I put it together!  (Note:....my lighting is bright when I film so the card appears softer in color in the video...above is the actual colors)  Enjoy!

Here are a couple of close-ups of the card design: 

I used some old stash for this card, some Prima Hydrangea blooms I had from an old kit.  I also used Martha Stewart leaf punch for the green leaves (just punched from cardstock and given a bit of a wrinkle.

I used one of my stamp designs, the Dandelion, as my center piece.  I used some white embossing powder with it....I would recommend not to press as hard as I did for this card as I feel I lost a lot of my detailing because of this :)

Dusty Attic Chipboard:  Filigree Frame

Shimmerz Paints Products:

~ Moody Mauve Coloringz

~ Don't Citron Me Coloringz
