For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Where Flowers Bloom So Does Hope

 

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



To make these cards, I cut a 12" x 12" piece of watercolor paper in half.
I stenciled on Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula.
 
 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.

I rubbed on gold,aqua, and pearl colored mica powder on a lot of the background and raised areas on the page.

 



To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,pearls,lace, crystals, glass glitter, tulle,   fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers, paper flowers and chipboard, and bling and metal from my stash. 

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   



 Inklingz: Blue My Mind and Imperial Amethyst.

Snow Much Fun | Color Kitz | Shannon Allor

Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today and I’m so excited to bring you this layout featuring the January 2026 Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and Bonuz Bundle!  I am loving this gorgeous color palette and adorable snowy patterns!


I adore this little penguin!  It was perfect to layer with the Dotz and customizable coloring page!


I found a piece of white cardstock in my stash that I had previously covered with gesso.  I used all of our gorgeous mixed media goodies to create this icy background.  The colors blended so well together and dried with lots of shimmery goodness!


These collections were perfection for documenting this memory of my daughter and her pals in wintery Northern Michigan!

Winter Memories Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all, Nicole here with my second scrapbooking layout using the January Color Kitz!  I am documenting a sweet winter moment in the Rose Garden at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens last month! 

I started with adding the Loose Lips Pink Ships Inklingz onto my watercolor paper for the background.  I added it in a kind of L shape to the upper right of the layout.

Next I made some winter flowers using a die and patterned paper from the kit.  I added the flowers and lots of die cuts to the L shape. I matted my photo on patterned paper and added 2 strips to the top and bottom of the page.
 

I finished the page by making a little cluster down in the lower left of the page with the title.  I added some sequins from my stash and my journaling.

Thanks for popping on to read all about my layout!  I hope it gets you in a crafty mood!  You can still grab the January Color Kitz over at the shop and use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order!  I also have a process video for this layout here: Winter Memories Scrapbooking Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Winter Memories | Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle | Shannon Allor

 

Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you my first layout featuring the January 2026 Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle!  I am smitten with the Sequinz and wanted to make sure that they were highlighted in this layout.


I created a bold Sequinz shelf by applying liquid adhesive under the photo and title area.  It works best if you let it sit for a minute or so.  I then poured my Sequinz onto the adhesive and gently pressed them into the glue.  I love how it turned out!


The patterned papers are perfectly curated for documenting your icy winter adventures!  My daughter and her gal pals headed up to Northern Michigan for a weekend.  I love how this blend of mixed media, die cuts and Dotz made it all come together!


I love all of the snowflakes!  I used the gorgeous Color Kitz and Bonuz Bundle on them to customize them and bent up the edges a bit.

Just Chilling Using the January Color Kitz

Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout using the January Color Kitz!  These kits are full of soft winter colors and just perfect for all your seasonal memories! Today I'm documenting me and my hubby at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens.

The first thing that I did was create the background!  I used all the paints in the kit to make a blob of beautiful on a 12x12 watercolor paper.  I then added some splatters and set aside to dry.

Next I did some paper piecing.  I have a little wedge that I use for a template and cut 5 of the patterned papers to make this circular element to the left of my photo.  I distressed all the papers and my photo and then attached to the background!

Lastly I added die cuts and one of the dotz from the kit, making sure to add the title "Just Chillin'".  I also added some journaling and some little iridescent bubbles to the page to finish it off!

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout!  I hope I gave you some good tips on how to use your Shimmerz product.  If you decided to grab this kit or anything else from the Shimmerz shop, please make sure to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order.

I also have a process video that you can watch here: Just Chillin' Scrapbooking Process
