Ice Cream Dream! Scrapbook Layout & Process Video | Amanda Baldwin

Hi Shimmerz Friends & Fans! 

Amanda here, and today I am sharing a super sweet scrapbook layout featuring a few of my favorite Shimmerz Paints products! 

Here's my Ice Cream Dream layout.....

Dreamy, indeed! 

Summer never looked quite so sweet! 

You'll spy lots of Shimmery goodness here:

Dazzlerz: I Lilac You

Vibez: Princess & Sweet Heart

Shimmerz: Key Lime, Lilac Blossom & Celery

and

Creameez: Sky's The Limit

Told you it was my favorites!!! 

Here's a closer look for you.....

For this pretty page, I hand paint the Floral Frame 01 cut file from Cut To You, with Shimmerz Celery and Key Lime for the leaves, and then Shimmerz Lilac Blossom & Vibez Sweet Heart for the blooms. I just love how good this combination looks! Super pretty!

For my cardstock base, I apply a Peonies stencil with Dazzlerz: I Lilac You. Once dry, I fill around the stencil area with Creameez: Sky's The Limit & apply a few splatters of Vibez Princess too! 

It's a really soft and subtle result, and flatters the delicacy of my design! 

To embellish my darling photogrpah & page, I am using the beautiful Ice Cream Parlour digital collection from Tinker N Co Digital. I love that with digital collections you can print off as many die cuts and papers as you need! 

You'll also spy some of the Freezin' For A Reason sequins from our friends at Spiegel Mom Scraps. Yay! Everything coordinates so beautifully!

I Love Today Scrapbook Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a scrapbook layout with you all. I am scrapbooking  a photo of myself. I recently started my own business and this picture just expresses how I feel in the clothing I'm selling. I decided to create a fun and simple background.

I began with scribbly floral cut file. I placed it on top of a white piece of carsdstock. I used Several Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai, Well Blue me Down and Peachy Keen. I also used a Spritz in Saphire, a Vibez in Sweet Heart and a Creameez in Sky's the Limit. For the Creameez, I watered it down and added it to a small spray bottle to get the same mist effect as with the other colors. 

I then used the misted cut file itself on top of the white cardstock. I slightly offset the cut file so that it was not directly over the misted area. I love the look this created. So simple and so fun.

I used a teal stripped transparency as a layer behind my photo. It makes my photo stand our over all of these gorgeous colors. 

I used black foam thickers for my tittle. I also scattered around some foam hearts and stars. I chose not to embellish any further, The fun bright colors were enough embellishment for me.

Products Used:

Coloringz: Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down, Mandarin Mai Tai

Spritz: Saphire

Vibzs: Sweetheart

Creameez: Sky's the Limit

XOXO

Today Scrapbook Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share another 12x12 layout with you all. I am scrapping a sequence of photos of my niece and my mom. My niece gives the best hugs. She is the sweetest.

I began with a floral embroidery stencil and my Shimmerz Dazzlerz in the color Spun Sugar. I used it on white cardstock. I used Spun Sugar to create a neutral base. 

To add color to the flowers, I used several colors. I used a combination of an Inklingz in the color Bahama Mama and a Creameez in the color Refresh Mint for some of the flowers and a combination of two Creameez in  Berry Hot and Sky's the Limit for the other flowers. I then fussy cut the flowers.

I pulled out a mint green paper from my stash. I arranged my three photos in the center of the layout and added a simple layer of tracing paper behind all three photos. I then raised them up on foam. I then clustered the flowers underneath the pictures and added some leaves I had previously cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.

I used a Teresa Collins diagonal stripe stencil with the Dazzlerz in Spun Sugar and used the same four colors to color in between the stripes. I cut out strips and added two in the top right and two on the bottom left of the layout. In between the strips of color I added white drops using Nuvo Drops. I also added Nuvo Drops to the flowers for some extra detail. 

I used a Heidi Swapp acetate word in a coordinating coral color as my tittle and a few random embellishments from my stash. At first I wasn't sure about combining all of these colors but  in the end I really like how it turned out. 

There is a video on my channel if you'd like to watch my process:

Products Used: 

Dazzlerz: Spun Sugar

Inklingz: Bahama Mama

Creameez: Berry Hot, Refresh Mint, Sky's the Limit

Art Journaling With Irit

Hi! Irit here and I'm so excited to share with you my latest project for Shimmerz. Today I'm showing you how to create a simple and lovely art journal spread using Shimmerz goodies. Here's my finished project-

I started by simply spreading Acritonez in 3 sheets to the wind and pinkadelic. These paints dry super fast, so I could move on to the next step almost immediately.

I added some messy circle lines and lots of splatters with Coloringz in Well Blue Me Down, Glorious Days and Jeni B Blue Vibez.

I love how the ink sprays behave differently on Acritonez. It's almost like a bokeh effect.  Next I added some photos and patterned paper from Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.  To make it feel more like a part of the art journal I colored some of the edges in Sky's the Limit and Refresh mint Creameez. 

There's also a video tutorial-

 Don't forget to mention my name when placing an order, you'll receive a freebie to try!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Lucky Girl Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share another 12x12 layout with you all. I was inspired by a foral patterned paper from Photoplay. I will use several of the beautiful flowers which I fussy cut from this paper on my layout.

I started off with white cardstock. I arranged my four photos on a white 12x12 cardstock. The photos are of my adorable niece. We had a fun little photo shoot in my backyard. My niece loves posing for the camera. I used the beautiful Dazzlers in Tuti Frutti and Coral me Crazy through a Crafters Workshop stencil which has arrows on it. I added the arrows pointing to the photos.

I added the fussy cut flowers around my photos. I added a layer of patterned paper behind two sides of the photos, I also added a layer of paint to add some shading. I used the Creameez in Sky's the Limit. I added some splatters in this color as well.  I wanted to bring in some more purple so I added some doodlebug doilies in three areas.

For my tittle I added some Amy Tan Craft chipboard thickers. I added a coat of white gesso to them and painted them. The work "Lucky" I painted using an Inklingz in the Color Honey do List. The word "Girl" I colored using a mix of two Creameez, Sky's the Limit and Cheeky Pink. 

I love how it turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
