Summer Treat - August Color Kitz | Brianna Lepper

Hey y'all! Brianna here with a fun Summery layout using the August Edition Color Kitz!  This Kit is absolutely beautiful and is perfect to document your Summer moments!  They are $15.95 and here's what's included in it:

Shimmerz Exclusive Ice Cream Crazy Cut File
SpiegelMom Scraps Sprinkle Time Sequin Mix
1 oz bottle of Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz
1 oz bottle of Hermit the Frog Vibez
Pink Shimmerz
Sunkissed Inklingz

Here's my layout using the Kit!  Colors added from my stash: Vibez Sweet Heart and Shimmerz Baby's Breath

As soon as I saw the cut file, I knew I wanted to create a shaker with the popsicle.  I cut the cut file out on some white cardstock in my stash and added a transparency to create the window.  I added some foam tape on top of it, added the sequins and backed it with some vellum.  I love how it turned out and love how the sequin mix looks in the popsicle. So fun!

I painted each inside piece of the ice cream cones using the colors in the Kit.  The bright colors in this kit are so pretty and they really do look like ice cream!

 

For my background, I wanted to use the same colors that I used on my ice cream cones.  So I added gesso to another piece of plain white cardstock and applied each color separately on the page.  I sprayed some clean water to help the colors blend and move.  

I added my title using some Thickers and some puffy alpha stickers and added some ephemera pieces around my page.  

The colors really pop in this kit and they really compliment each other.  The original Shimmerz has so much shimmer and shine, I love that my ice cream cone is so sparkly!

I hope that I've inspired you today!  Check out the Color Kitz if you haven't had a chance to. They really are a great deal and it's so much fun to have all of the colors already picked out for you on top of the extras that you get in each Kit.  Thank you so much for stopping by and we will see you in the next one!

Here's my process video showing how I created this fun Summer layout!

Rumbly in my Tumbly | Niki Rowland

Hey there Shimmerz Fans! Niki here today and I have a bright colourful layout to share with you today.

I've used the new Dear Lizzy collection 'New Day' and it has lots of bright colours in it. I chose a striped paper with lots of colours and tore a strip of it to go across the top of my layout. I then matched my Shimmerz paints to the coloured stripes and extended the colours down the layout.

 I've used all Original Shimmerz for this layout and the colours I've used are: 

Pool Me Close

Jilted Jade

Key Lime

Teal the End of Time

Winters Mist

Pink

Bumbly Bee

Gold n Roses

 

Once I had created my colourful background I then stuck on my striped paper. I created a photo cluster with three photos and lots of embellishments, all from the New Day collection too.

I used the multi print alpha from the same collection to make a fun title and I handwrote in my journaling at the bottom to finish off. 

Now you've got to the end, I'll let you into a secret. This layout was initially quite different. I had also got a striped paper strip at the bottom too with the colours painted up as well. I actually finished the layout but it was awful! It's extremely rare for me to make a layout that I hate and I really did hate this one, so much so that I didn't feel I could share it as a DT project for Shimmerz. So I left it a few days and then chopped it up, rescued the top painted part and added it to a new white background with a white strip right at the top and some white space at the bottom. This made it a whole lot better and I'm now happy with the end result (almost). See, even people on Design Teams get things wrong occasionally :)  

Happy scrapping lovelies and may Shimmerz paints colour your world beautiful xxx
