Get Cozy With This Fall Scrapbook Idea | Melissa Minor | November Color Kitz

 Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor @Cards By Melissa Minor here and today I'm sharing a layout with you using the November Color Kitz. This is my favorite kit Shimmerz has released this year. Every paper is gorgeous! The paint colors match all the papers so well. Fall is my jam! 

When I started my layout I didn't have a clear idea of where I was going with it. So, I started by choosing a few papers that I really liked that coordinated well together. I also chose 2 of the paint colors, some ephemera pieces, and other embellishments I knew I wanted to use. I then fussy cut the images on one of the patterned papers. I had a hard time cutting up the paper because I love it so much! The images in the picture below are the ones I fussy cut! BEAUTIFUL!

Next I started cutting circles using my old Creative Memories circle cutting system. I haven't used it in forever but it was perfect for cutting lot of circles in different sizws. I then began arranging the circles onto my background paper. Oh! I forgot to mention, I used clear gesso on the background paper so that I could paint on it later.

Once I had all my circles arranged I added some foam to the back of my photos and adhered to the page. I pulled out the Shimmerz paints from the kit: Teal The End Of Time & Here I Yam . I added a little paint around each of the circles. It's so pretty and shimmery! I used a couple dots from the kit and added a little tangled thread behind them. I finished my layout by adding an acrylic title from my stash and some sequins from the bonus bundle.

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                            treasures there!

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and  made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. While it was wet I sprinkled on UTEE and heated it. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the  mats. I taped on a flower and items, then glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold mica powder on different  areas. I painted watercolor flowers and leaves with Twinklinz on watercolor paper and cut them out. I put them at the bottom and sides around the photo.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, chipboard, tulle,flowers,feathers,gold leaf, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of                                        the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.                                        

Twinklingz: Bark Up The Wrong Tree, Blue By You, Mind Your Bees-Ness, Once Upon A Wine, Plant One On Me, Rust-ic Charm

Inklingz:    Dear John Letter, I Love You Onyxly, First Blush, and Spotlight White.

              

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

Happy Fall Y'all | Shimmerz Paints November Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 

I am so excited to be back here to show y'all my first layout using November Color Kitz from Shimmerz Paints! This kit was so perfect for documenting these precious photos of my niece's family.

I jumped right in coloring the color sheet with all the paints and sprays from the color kit plus a few extra from my stash, including the way cool new Twinklingz! 

Next, I created my own cut file in Cricut Design Space and backed it with a pretty piece of paper from the kit.

After I had it backed, I realized there wasn't enough contrast between the white cardstock of the cut file and the patterned paper I backed it with. So, I painted the cut file with the Twinklingz in Bark Up the Wrong Tree. 

Then chose my element from the kit as well as some felt alphas from my stash to embellish all around my photos.

I love how fun this layout is! Everything came together so easily and I couldn't be happier. If you would like to see this one come together you can check out my process video below. Don't forget to check out the new November Color Kitz as well as the new Twinklingz in the Shimmerz Shop. Add my name to your order if you would like to be sent a free product!

Autumn Rain Using the November Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with my second project for the month using the November Color Kitz Bundle!  I'm documenting a rainy day in Prague with this fun kit.

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make my autumn rainbow.  I used all 5 paints from the kit to make my rainbow.  I didn't draw it out or anything fancy, I just free handed it with my paint brush and I love the way that it turned out.  I then painted some of the leaves from the coloring sheet that comes with the kit as well.

I distresed my photos and added them to the layout in three areas creating a visual triangle.  I then hand drew clouds on the blue and white checked paper, fussy cut them out, and then distressed them as well.  I added the clouds and leaves that I painted near the photos.  I then came in with some of the die cut pieces to finish off my clusters.

 

I then added my title using the gold alphas from the kit, making sure to glue each of the letters before putting them down.  I added journaling and splatters to finish off my layout.

Thanks for coming on to read about my layout.  I hope this inspires you to use your November Color Kitz.  If you decide to grab a November Color Kitz Bundle for yourself, don't forget to add my name Nicole in the shopping cart to get a freebie with your order!  I also have a process video for this layout that you can watch here: https://youtu.be/2_f3NDi3sKU

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Fall Scrapbook Idea | Melissa Minor | November Color Kitz

 Hello Crafty Friends! Melissa Minor @Cards By Melissa Minor here and I'm really excited to be sharing a fall layout for the Shimmerz Paints Design Team. I used the gorgeous November Color Kitz. The November kit has so many beautifully designed patterned papers and cute ephemera pieces. I had a hard time deciding which paper to use because they are all so pretty. I didn't want to cut into them. Do you do that too? Do you want to save the really pretty papers? I finally decided I would back my photos using the red dot paper. It's a beautiful fall red and I think it really made my photos pop.

I used every single paint that came in the kit on my layout. I started by painting a piece of watercolor paper with Punkin Pie-Vibez, Here I Yam-Shimmerz, and Red-y or Not-Coloringz. I splattered with a little bit of Gold Digger that I had in my stash. Then I used a foilage die and die cut lots of leaves. They are so shimmery and I think they look just like real leaves! I inked the edges of the leaves with Distress Oxide ink in the color Vintage Photo.

Next I began working on my base page. I started with a piece of 12x12 Mixed Media cardstock. I used a 12x12 screen view stencil and my paints to create a background. I used Witches Blue-Creameez for the majority of the stencil, then came in with Teal The End Of Time-Shimmerz around where my photos were going to be. 

I love that the kit came with gold foiled alphabet stickers this month! They were perfect for creating my title. My title says Fall-Ing In Love. There weren't enough "L's" on the sticker sheet. So, I did a little sticker surgery on a couple of the capital "T's" and turned then into "L's". No one would ever know they didn't come that way!

I got brave and when I thought my layout was just about completed I decided to bring in the Christmas Cheer-Shimmerz from the bonus bundle. I painted a die cut circle and also added some of that beautiful yellow color around my photo. That yellow pulls out the yellow in my photo. I added a few of the ephemera pieces and used the bonus bundle sequins to finish up my layout. I really like how this page turned out. Don't wait too long to get your kit! I'm going to say this is my favorite kit so far this year. I have a process video below. The next time you place an order on the Shimmerz Paints website add my name (Melissa Minor) to the comments section to receive a free paint! Thank you so much for stopping by.

Happy Crafting,
