December 2025 Color Kitz | Merry Christmas | Stephanie Dang

      Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I'm back on the blog today to share my project using this month’s color kitz. If you would like to see more of my work or follow me, please find me at https://www.instagram.com/paperandi/ and https://paperandi07.blogspot.com. This kit is so fun! Perfect for documenting your holiday festivities! You will find all supplies to recreate the layout at the bottom of my blog post.



Step 1: Start with multi-color plaid background. Layer on the yellow that has been sized down to about 10" x 10".  Then take white cardstock and trim down to 9.5" x 9.5" and prep that with gesso. Let dry.


Step 2: Add the color splashes by using waterbrush, and moving around the following colors: Inklingz (Lover's Lips), Shimmerz (Pool Me Close), and Shimmerz (Jilted Jade). Make sure to let each color completely dry before adding the next. Place the snowflake stencil, and spray the Vibez (I Mist You!), and carefully remove the stencil. Let the page dry completely before moving on.


Step 3: Adhere the yellow cardstock diagonally to the plaid background, and then adhere the watercolor background.


Step 4: Add your photo framed in white cardstock, and embellish as seen. Using foam adhesive to make a few die cuts pop.

Supplies:
• Shimmerz Paints DECEMBER 2025 Color Kitz,  VIBEZ (I Mist You!), INKLINGZ (Lover's Lips), Shimmerz (Pool Me Close), Shimmerz (Jilted Jade), gesso, foam adhesive, and regular adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed my project, and felt inspired to create this yourself by using the December 2025 Color Kitz.

Fa La La La La | December 2025 | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout featuring the Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and the Bonuz Bundle for December 2025.  I love the bright and whimsical feel of this combination!


I flipped through the Paper Kitz and immediately knew that I had to use this one for my background!  It already looked double matted before I even started!  We received the perfect snowflake stencil that I used with some paste from my stash.  I promise that you can see it perfectly in person but the white on white is so hard to pick up on camera.  I used the Pool Me Close for some splatters and set it aside to dry.


I love to create shaker pockets for a bit of movement.  I fussy cut out an element from one of the papers that had a bunch of frames on it.  I used some of the packaging to create a window and voila!  That part was done.  I also enjoyed some time off camera to paint all of the elements from our “coloring book” piece and then cut them all out.


I adore all of the perfectly curated diecuts and painted pieces!  They work so beautifully together to create a fun and festive layout!


You can watch my complete process video here:




Oh, and please remember to put my name in the comments section of your next order to score yourself a freebie!

Happy Scrapping!

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, At Christmas, All Roads Lead Home

 

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

I tried to make the top of the paper resemble the Northern Lights.





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 of it also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.
I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.
 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items.

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.

I rubbed on gold 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, crystals, glass glitter, tulle,sisal,iridescent wrapping paper and bling and metal from my stash. 

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














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