Plan with Me | Kelly Janes

Hey Shimmerz fans! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I'm working on my December spreads in my Happy Planner and thought it would be fun to try to incorporate my Shimmerz Paints into a spread.

I'm working on December 16-22, 2019 and wanted to keep it very cheery. I used a light strand die from Lawn Fawn and die cut it on watercolor paper. I used a few different Shimmerz Paints, including: Concrete Shimmeringz, Ruby Spritz and Velveteen Green Vibez to color the lights. I cut two strands of lights and streamed them across the spread. To help them jump off the page I used a white pen to add highlights.

I added multiple photos from this week and multiple stickers from the MAMBI Happy Planner Sticker Books to add more color and detail. I'm using my planner as a type of "Project Life". This planner is a great way to document the everyday stories that really tell the story of my life.

Now you can take a look at the process video:

I hope you've found some inspiration on ways you can use Shimmerz Paints to add detail and color to any project. Thanks so much for spending part of your day with me!

Color Challenge - Don't Citron Me | Kelly Janes

Hey there, friends! Have you taken part in the Autumn Shimmerz Color Challenge? The color I chose, for this challenge, is Don't Citron Me Coloringz. I find green to be a challenging color and it's definitely not something I naturally gravitate towards, so I knew it would be a great color to choose for the challenge!

I started my 12x12 scrapbook layout by adding a layer of clear gesso to the background. I then used heavy black gesso with a spiderweb stencil to add a bit of detailing to the background. I then took the Don't Citron Me Coloringz and sprayed it directly onto the background. 

Once the green was dry, I sprayed Ruby Spritz and Lil' Yellow Skool Bus Coloringz onto a scrap piece of packaging. I mixed those colors together with a paintbrush to create a deep orange color and then used the packaging technique to add that color to the background in a few different areas. I think it's so fun to add the color to the background using different techniques (packaging technique, using a paintbrush, spraying directly on the background, etc.)! You get a different look with each technique!

I then moved onto embellishing. I grabbed multiple Halloween themed embellishments and 4 photos of my kiddo when he was trick or treating. I had so much fun layering the embellishments on the background! I love how the mixed media background peeks out from behind the photos and embellishments!

Now you can take a look at my process video!

I hope you'll play along with the challenge this month! Remember to use the hashtag #shimmerzcolorchallenge when posting online!

Happy Heart | Amanda Baldwin

Hi Shimmerz Friends! 

Welcome back for more shimmering paint delights!
Amanda here, & boy oh boy have I got some sweet Heart Day inspiration for you!
Valentine's Day is one of my all time favorite Holidays,
& I just LOVE creating all the heart things!
But enough chatter, here's my layout......

"Happy Heart"

Oh.my.heart!!!
This is so super sweet and completely melts me!
You'll spy the following Shimmerz Paints products:

Spritz Ruby
Spritz Cotton Candy
Vibez Pop Art Pink
Paste-eez Peach Fuzz
Paste-eez Salt of The Earth

What a wonderful color combination!
Here's a closer look for you.....

Gor-jus!!!
As well as our super shimmery, and divine paints I've also used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio: More Than Words collection & the Hello Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I start this layout by spraying Spritz Ruby to the top of the Hello Hearts cut file.
This very pretty red is so vibrant!



Next, I apply Vibez Pop Art Pink to the center of the cut file, and at the base of the cut file I spray Spritz Cotton Candy. I also add a couple more light sprays of the Ruby to add a lil tonal interest too!
Just look at the golden shimmer from the Pop Art Pink - Stunning!!!



These colors have my heart!

Before I attach the Shimmery cut file to the pattern paper base, I prep the paper with a light coat of Jo Sonja's White Gesso. I then apply Pop Art Pink with a very watery paint brush, creating a soft base of color. I then add splatters and droplets in Spritz Ruby & Cotton Candy, as well as the Vibez Pop Art Pink. I then apply those beautiful textured hearts with a Vicki Boutin Stencil & Paste-eez Peach Fuzz. So pretty!



The pink textured hearts are made from combining Paste-eez Salt of the Earth with Spritz Ruby - another gorgeous color combination!

For finishing touches, I add more Ruby droplets and a lil paint around my photo to complete my Happy Heart themed layout. 

Here's one last close up for you....

Absolutely beautiful!

Lovely Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends!Katty here to share a Scrapbooking layout with you all. I am scrapbooking a lovely photo of one of my smaller cousins. This photo is lovely and I wanted to create something simple and pretty. I chose this yellow Polka Dot background which I though was a great start.

I began by adding gesso to the center of the page. I used the packaging technique  several of my favorite colors. I used Coloringz in Pink Stilettos, Pretty in Pink and Mandarin Mai Tai. I also used Spritz in Ruby and in Cotton Candy as well as a Vibez in Pop Art Pink.

I added splatters in a few of the colors around the page as well as tiny flowers around the page. 

I added a floral border at the bottom for my tittle to sit on. I love how it turned out.

Supplies Used:

Coloring: Pink Stilettos, Pretty in Pink, Mandarin Mai Tai

Spritz: Ruby, Cotton Candy

Vibez: Pop Art Pink

Thanks so much for stopping by!

But First, Ice Cream | Irit Landgraf

Hi! Irit here with a new project using some lovely Shimmerz goodies. Ink Sprays are my go to supplies. Keep on reading for all the details!

Here's my finished layout-

What I love about ink sprays like Coloringz and Vibez is how easy it is to get a gorgeous look in absolutely no time at all.

To create this background I used a stencil (it's actually an old specialty paper that looks like a stencil, you can see it in the video tutorial) and a mixture of sprays. Coloringz in Mama sings the blues & Don't citron me, Vibez in Razzledazzle berry and Spritz in Ruby.

Supplies used: Patterned paper by Glitz Designs, Ephemera by Scrapbook- Werkstatt, puffy stickers by Pink Paislee Oh My Heart collection.

Here's the video tutorial I created showing how this came together-

Yup! Scrapbook layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout. I found this funny picture of my younger son on my moms phone and I had to scrap it. I pulled out the Simple Stories Life in Color Collection and chose some coordinating colors to use in my background.

I added a thin layer of gesso to a yellow paper from the collection. This helped to strengthen the paper. I then used the good ole packaging technique on top of the gesso. 

I picked several colors that coordinate with the Life in Color Collection, I used a spritz in Ruby, a vibes in Jeni B Blue and Coloringz in Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down and Oh Say Can U Sea. 

I also used one of the Dazzlerz in the color Licorice Stick through  a plus sign stencil to add some fun texture. I also added some splatters in a couple of the colors. 

I then added embellishments from the collection all around my photo. Including some chipboard frames and stickers. I added a few simple layers behind the photo. I love how it turned out. 

Products Used:

Dazzlerz: Licorice Stick

Spritz: Ruby

Vibez: Jeni B Blue

Coloringz: Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down, Oh Say Can U Sea

Always Remember.....

Happiness Is This - A pink layout and a VIDEO tutorial by Karine

Hi Shimmerz fans,

Karine is here today to share a pink scrapbooking layout with you. As Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I thought it was a good idea to break out my pink supplies and get a little fun. Let's take a look at what I've created.

Going through all my pink mediums (believe me, I have a LOT!), I was inspired by the Ruby Spritz. I decided to make it my main color. 

To add a little depth to the background, I paired my main color with Caribbean Sunset and Cotton Candy Spritz. They add a softer touch to the layout. 

You can see, on the picture above, that I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez on my background as well, before I applied the color, just to add a nice texture. I love how the spray ink «pools» around the dried Paste-Eez. 

I used 3 Sheets to the Wind AcriTonez with water to make some white drops on the background. 

For one finishing touch, I used the Ruby Spritz to color around my word stickers (not shown on video).

All my chipboards are from 2Crafty Chipboard. 

Enjoy the process video:
