Born To Explore | Boy Layout using Run! Forest, Pumpkin, Bumbly Bee | With Process Video

Hello Shimmerz friends!

Hope you are doing well and bright! Sharing this gorgeously starry layout with you today using oranges, yellows and greens. Link to process video can be found at the end of the post:

Started out with a white piece of cardstock that I've trimmed down to 11.5 by 11.5 in order to fit a border behind it later. Played a bit with the placement of patterned paper and pictures before getting out my colors:

- Can't Elope - Inklingz

- Bumbly Bee - Shimmerz
- Olive U Truly - Inklingz

- Run! Forest - Shimmerz

- Pining For You - Creameez

- Pumpkin - Pumpkin

- Orange Sherbet - Shimmerz

- Marigold - Shimmerz

I added the mixed media by colors; I began with the oranges (Can't Elope, Pumkin, Orange Sherbet) and let them dry a bit. Then added in the yellows (Bumbly Bee, Marigold) and finally worked with the greens. Each color group was worked with the packaging technique and splatters.

Once all the colors were dry, I glued my patterned paper (Amy Tangerine | Slice of Life | Rainbow Hall) and placed my pictures on craft foam for dimension. Added two small clusters of embellishments near my pictures. Had some leftover stars from a cutfile I had previously used (Circle Of Stars by Virginia Walker | COAPA Cutfiles); sprayed some of them with Tuscan Sun (Spritz) and others with Goldie Lox (Shimmeringz) and formed a sort of star burst effect on the layout with them. Each white star was added in on craft foam; I was punched out a few vellum stars and glued them unto the cardstock. Finished off the layout by added some Nuvo Drops, placed my title, wrote my journaling and then mounted the white cardstock unto a patterned paper (Amy Tangerine | Hustle and Heart). Below are a few more close-ups.

I love how this layout turned out! It's so colorful and star-filled, perfect for documenting boy memories. Hope to have inspired you and I'll see you back soon! Link to process video: https://youtu.be/wWoPn2s1mb8 

Remember, if you write my name in the comments section of your next Shimmerz order, you'll receive some free paint.

Stay crafty!

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.

Peace Cards | Melinda

Hello crafty friends,
Melinda here and I am super excited to share my cards with you today!

I created two cards featuring a variety of the beautiful Shimmerz Products!  They are both a finished size of A2, so they will fit in an A2 sized envelope. Of course they are a bit chunky with the dimensional Poinsettias.


For both, I started by creating the card bases. I then cut the bases out of some cream colored cardstock and then cut the titles and flower pieces out of plain white cardstock. I absolutely love to start with just plain white cardstock and see where these beautiful Shimmerz products take my projects! The only other non-white pieces are the flourishes and the Kraft paper background mat for the card on the right.


For this first card, here is a closer look at the beautiful poinsettias. I used a combination of the  and   the    to paint the poinsettias. For the smaller ones I just made the two layers two solid tones. For the large one, you can see I brushed the   on first and then added in the  darker shade.  For the leaves, I used the Olive You Only Shimmerz paint.  You can also see in the background that I stamped some tiny snowflakes using the tiny snowflake stamp from the     stamp set.  I then brushed on some of the Puttin’ on the glitz pasteez and brushed it horizontally to make the mat look a bit “snowy”.


Here’s a closer look at the peace title. I layered three of them together to give them some depth. I painted some of the Angel’s Kiss Inklingz onto the die cut. You can’t tell in the picture, but it has a very soft and subtle shimmer to it. Reminds me of a pearl like finish. The bottom outline layer has some Puttin’ on the Glitz dabbed onto it.


Here’s a closer look at the Poinsettias on the second card. I painted these the same as the other card. For the background on this card, I started by spraying some Jenni B Bleu Vibez onto the background. Once it was dry, I just brushed on some of the Angel’s Kiss Inklingz onto the background.

CHECK OUT THIS GREAT INCENTIVE!!!

Truly Grateful with Yoonsun

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun is here! Today I have an autumn-themed card to share with you using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors. For today's card, I tried to stamp solid autumn leaf images instead of colouring. 

To create the card:
1. Die cut a piece of watercolour paper using the A2 sized rectangle panel die.
2. Colour directly on the solid autumn leaf images from the Penny Black Nature's Gifts set using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors: Honey Do List, Olive U Truly, Mochachino, Can't Elope, She Packs a Punch, Naughty or Nice, and Dear John Letter.
3. Stamp the image on the watercolor paper panel. Allow this to dry completely.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the MFT Geometric Greenery set on the bottom half of the panel in black ink.
5. Mount the panel on A2 top folded white card base using double-sided tape.
6. Embellish with a few clear droplets.



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Elegant layout with Yuko

Hello!everyone! Yuko here.

I am also like to introduce a very elegant work today!

【cherish】

I was using the Attic charm collection of Blue Fern Sudios

It was perfect for this image.

Product of shimmerz was used to 

tint the background of the chip board.

Mainly of green-based IKNLINGZ,

 CREAMEEZ, AQUAHUEZ.used 4-colors.

The blurring because the coloring of watercolor system is elated!

Especially INKLINGZ is very beautiful because even enter Pearl.

Round sparkling've used the Stikles as liquid pearl.

It is difficult to see in the image, 

but the real thing is quite beautiful and sparkling!

It was stamped with the gesso to circle (such as a pen cap).

I think you increase the feeling soft with only white enters doing this.

<shimmerz>

INKLINGZ  Olive U Truly/GreenPastures

CREAMEEZ  Sage It Isn't So/Hide the Tide

AQUAHUEZ  Sea Weed

  Thank you!

If you do not chipboard with a thickness it was firmly become limp.

A thick chipboard is the best!

I used green-based three colors.
