Happy Halloween Scrapbooking Layout Using the October Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with a spooky fun scrapbooking layout using the October Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting me and my girls making some haunted gingerbread houses last year for Halloween.
 

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make these mixed media flowers.  I covered a watercolor paper with the orange and pink colors from the kit and then sent it through my cricut to cut these flowers.

Next I paper pieced my pattern paper and my photos on the page.  I then added the flowers to the upper right and lower left corners of my page.  I used black sequins from my stash to add the middle of the flowers.
 

I added embellishments from the kit to my clusters as well as a haunted house and a title piece.  I finished with my journaling and some Black Hole splatters.

Thanks for popping in to read about this layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas on how to use your kit!  You can find the kit here and don't forget to use my name in the shopping cart notes to get yourself a free gift with your order:

Spooky Halloween Scrapbook Layout | Melissa Minor | October Color Kitz

 Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor here and I'm super excited to be sharing another layout with you for the Shimmerz Paintz design team. I'm using the October 2024 Color Kitz. I started the layout by painting some of the Dandy Lion-Creameez onto white mixed media cardstock. I then cut that piece down and used as a layering piece behind my photos. 

I layered up some of the bright and fun patterned papers from the kit. To embellish my layout I brought in quite a few dies from my stash. For the title, I cut the word SPOOKY using a festive font. I then used some Vicki Boutin Thickers and finished my title with the word FUN. The thickers are white so I used some of the Celery-Shimmerz to paint in the letters. I love the shiny green this brought down to the bottom of the layout. 

Next I cut some tags with various papers from the kit. I added some ribbon and twine to give my layout extra interest and dimension. I embellished with one of the dotz and several ephemera pieces from the kit. I love the little witch and Frankenstein pieces. The pictures I'm scrapbooking aren't actually from Halloween. My boyfriend Dale and I visited a really cool store in St Charles, MO that had Halloween decorations all over. We had to snap a few pictures. The store seemed to keep going and going. There were so many rooms, twists, and turns filled with all kinds of interesting items for sale.

Cute & Creepy Halloween | Melissa Minor | October 2024 Color Kitz

 

Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor here on the blog for the Shimmer Paints design team. I have a cute & creepy Halloween scrapbook layout for you today. I’ve used the October 2024 Color Kitz. It’s full of Halloween themed paper and ephemera. The photos I’m documenting are of me and my boyfriend Dale from last Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin. Of course we had to snap a few photos in front of the amazing pumpkin wall display they had.

The cut file “Halloween Bunting” I used is from PearTree Cutfiles. You can find it here: https://www.peartreecutfiles.co.uk/product/halloween-bunting/ 

My layout came together rather quickly. I used several of the patterned papers from the kit and lots of the ephemera. I was really excited to add a layer of cheesecloth behind my photos. I think that’s a must have for Halloween layouts. I finished the layout by adding some paint splatter using Dandy Lion-Creameez. You can also see the paint I added to the eyes to make them look like they were glowing.

I have a process video over on YouTube. It is linked down below. If you haven't seen the kit, check out my unboxing video too!

Spooky Fun Halloween Cards | October Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 

Hello, friends! I love Halloween. It is my absolute favorite holiday. However, I don't have a single Halloween photo left to scrap. So I thought making cards for you this time would be fun.

For this first card, I used the following:

4.25x5.5 card base
4.25x5.5 plaid background
4x5.25 black cardstock

star stencil
texture paste
Shimmerz in Celery

a few pieces of ephemera from the kit

I mixed a little Shimmerz in with the texture paste and used the stencil to add some stars to my black cardstock. Once that was dry, I layered all of the pieces together and this one was complete.

For this second card, I used the following:

4.25x5.25 card base

4.25x5.25 black cardstock

approximately 4.215x4.125 patterned paper

Colorings in Vivacious Violet

glitter alphas

foam dots

ephemera from the kit

paintbrush

This was a very simple card to create. I began by using a paintbrush to paint the Colorings over the entire piece of spiderweb-patterned paper. Once it was dry, I glued it on top of the black cardstock. Then I glued down the haunted house, added foam dots to the back of the bat, and placed it on top, then added the number 31 to the left of the house. And that completes this card.

For the final card, I used the following:

5.5x4.25 card base

5.5x4.25 piece of polka-dot paper

4.625x3.5 piece of smooth white cardstock

polka dot embossing folder

black ink

ink blending tool

Creameez in Dandy Lion

paintbrush

ephemera from the kit

I began this card by running the white cardstock through the embossing folder. Then I used a paintbrush and splattered on the Creameez. Next, I used a blending tool to add black ink around the edges. I glued that to the center of the orange polka-dot paper. I finished it off by adding some ephemera pieces and stickers from the kit.

I hope you are inspired to use the October Color Kitz from Shimmerz Paints to create your own Halloween cards this season. Remember, if you place an order, add my name to the comments section and Shimmerz will send you a FREE paint product!

Spooky Spider | October 2021 Color Kitz | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper back with you today sharing a new layout using the super gorgeous October 2021 Color Kitz!  Unfortunately, these kitz are sold out and I'm not sure if they're doing a restock so makes sure to snag them as soon as they're released so you don't miss out!  Make sure to check out my process video at the end of this post so that you can see how this page came together.  Here's my layout:

 

To start, I cut the cut file from the kit out on white textured cardstock and painted it using the I'm Not Limon Inklingz and the Carrot Top Shimmerz.  

Next, I got to work on my background and took a thick piece of white cardstock and painted it using the Black Magic Shimmerz, Plum Tuckered Out Vibez and Thunder Storm Creameez.  I also made sure to add in some splatters for extra interest.  Once my background was dry, I popped the entire cut file up on foam tape and adhered it down.  I love how it turned out!  

I pulled out the Dotz from the kit and adhered those down around my page.  I use them as cluster markers and added embellishments around them.  I also added tangled thread under each one.  Not only does it give more color to each cluster, but it provides another textural element.  For this layout, I used the Monsters and Friends collection by Bella Blvd.  One of my favorites!

Next, I took the wood veneer stars from the kit and painted them using the Black Magic Shimmerz and made sure to scrape the glitter left on my brush onto each one.  I didn't want to miss an opportunity to add more sparkle to these stars!  I added those into my clusters and really love that nice pop of black around my page.

Here's a couple more up close shots to see all of the layers and shimmer.  

Check out the process video below: 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Make sure to add my name in the notes/comments section of your next order to receive a free gift!  See you in my next post friends!

Trick Or Treat - Melissa Larson

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new design team post for the amazing Shimmerzpaints! I love their rich texture and colors! 

To make this card I used paper from 49 And Market, glued on top of a card made from watercolor paper. The image is from Tim Holtz paper dolls. 

I picked out Reneabouquets Beautiful Board frame, figured out where it would go on the page, and prepped it with white gesso. I painted it with Green Olive Shimmerz and Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz. On the small star at the right I used Plum Crazy and Imperial Amethyst Inklingz.On each of them I poured on a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle.

I applied texture paste to the background with a bubble stencil from Prima. I painted all the raised areas of the paste with Green Olive Shimmerz and Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz. I put Plum Crazy and Imperial Amethyst Inklingz on the background. 

To add visual interest I used Glossy Accents to put on micro beads, seed beads, gold leaf,swarovski crystals,glass shard glitter,glass beads,pearls,iridescent wrapping paper,tulle,pressed flowers and leaves,bark,feathers left by birds at the bird bath outside,shells,fussy cut images from Graphic 45,flowers from Reneabouquets, metal from Tim Holtz and and bling and metal from my stash.I rubbed and flicked on gold and purple mica powder.

The white area to the right of the boy is  Dear John Letter ,it's also at other areas of the card.

 

                                        Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

October Color Kitz with Natalie Dill

 Hey friends! Natalie here with another Halloween layout using the awesome October 2020 Color Kitz!

This exclusive cut file is the CUTEST! I had to dig deep for a favorite photos to use with it.

The October Color Kitz have already sold out once!

But luckily, they're restocked.

They contain: 

• Marigold Shimmerz
• Taupe of The Mornin' Vibez
• Plum Pudding Spritz
• *NEW EXCLUSIVE COLOR* Love Ocean #9 Vibez
• 4 Leaf Clover Spritz
• 1 exclusive "I Got This Feelin'" cut file created by Shimmerz Paints 
• 1 set of "Happy Hauntingz" Dotz
• 1 package of Vibrant Pom Pomz

Such a fun and versatile kit!

You can find my process video here.

I am currently obsessed with Chevrons! So I decided to paint different gessoed pieces of paper with each of the kit colors and cut them into wonky chevrons.

I then pieced them together and sewed down the middle with a zig zag stitch after inking up the edges.

I cut the adorable cut file in a black and white polka dot.

I splattered all the kit colors besides Taupe of the Morning (as I already had enough black) on my white cardstock background.

I embellished with two of the adorable Dotz to add color around the page.

The pompom paper clips are a fun new addition to the Shimmerz Shop!

I also added some gems and sequins from my stash.

I used a couple of skeletons from the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin collection to accompany the Mr. Bones from the cut file.

I love these bright, Halloween colors!

I also love that they'd be so fun along and separately and bring a completely different feel to a page when used outside a Halloween theme.

I hope you're inspired to create a fun, holiday themed page wih this awesome kit!!

xoxo, Natalie

Frightful | Niki Rowland

Hellllllllooooooooooo, and happy Halloween everyone! This is Niki here with you today with a very spooky layout featuring three colours of Creameez and Inklingz.

I really wanted to use that bat patterned paper for my background but then I wouldn't have had anywhere to put my mixed media, so I added a large strip of white across the middle of the background. I was then able to have some fun with spooky Shimmerz colours and create a background. I always think a white background isn't quite right on a Halloween layout so adding mixed media was the perfect way to recify this!

I used three colours:

Purple Peony Creameez

Honeymoon Inklingz and

Steely Blue Eyes Inklingz. 

Together they were a great Halloween combination. I used the packaging technique to apply the colours across the white cardstock strip. I added large areas of the colours and then added loads of splatters too. I almost wanted it to look like a spooky sky so I was sort of aiming for clouds (sort of!)

 I then added strips of torn patterned paper over my background.  I machine stitched through with black thread and hand-drew spider webs onto the background too. I fussy cut out some clouds from one of my papers and added them to the top of my layout.

I finished off with a haunted house, a witch, a gravestone, plus several lots of fussy cut candy. I really love creating Halloween layouts, they are soooooo different from my usual style that I have loads of fun making them.

Thanks so much for joining me today and have a FRIGHTFUL day!

Happy scrapping xxx

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!
