Pretty Canvas!

 
Hello lovely Shimmerz followers!  Stacey here with you today to share a new canvas creation.  This canvas is 8 x 8 inches in size.  It's super cute and sweet and now I have to find a special spot for it in my home or scraproom.  I love this quote "Love is patient, love is kind".  It's a nice reminder for all of us in this household.  For all of those times we get frustrated and flustered with each other.  We're not perfect but I think the meaning of this quote is something to always work towards. To have more patience and to be kinder than necessary!
 
So here are the Shimmerz products I used for this canvas:
 
Texturez in Sandy Stone
Enamelz in Gold Digger
Spritz in Carribean Sunset and Mango Madness
Vibez in Egg Noggin and Before Dawn
Shimmerz in Coal, Candle Light and Island Salsa
 
 
 

 
I used a stencil for the background and then sprayed with the Spritz colours.
 




 Layered all of my embellishments.  Then continued to add more sprays of mists.
 



 
I applied the Coal Shimmerz underneath some of the embellishments to give a depth to the canvas.
 



 
I dipped the feathers in gold glitter (I've been dying to do this.....thanks to Pinterest) and then sprayed the ends with Egg Noggin and Mango Madness to add a little colour.
 


 
 
Thankyou for stopping by, I hope you go find those Shimmerz paints now and make something pretty
 
Hugs xo

Mixed Media Cards

Hi there, Elena here to share with you some mixed media cards and easy tips how you can create yours using paper scraps, some embellishments and Shimmerz.
  Not recently, while cleaning my table, I have found several scraps and paper left overs from different collections. They were quite cute so I didn't allow myself to throw them away, so I decided to make a couple of cards using them.
  You know they were of different colors and what I really needed is to tie them in a one card. I guess that coloring the background is the best way to get a pretty card.

I made 2 cards and used almost the same papers and embellishments, but I colored them with different mediums.
So you can notice how they are different or not
The flowers are quite the same, but look how they have turned on 

and here

You are welcome to check this video tutorial on how I created these cards




Hope you will enjoy it.

Shimmerz used:


Vibez - Jenni B Bleu, Sunset Strip
Spritz -  Plum Pudding
Shimmerz - Aqua Marine, Orange Sherbet
Pearlz - Grammie Berrie

and you still have time to submit to our October's Challenge

Create any card using Shimmerz and share it on our Facebook Page.

Loads of Color - Some Shimmerz Fun!

Hello, Shimmerz fans :)
Kelly here- just wanted to pop in and share a "just for fun" layout I made recently..
I love using the little pots of Shimmerz to create a "watercolor look."
It is really simple...just paint it on, spray with water, and spread it around.
Dry the paing a bit between layers so you don't end up with muddy color. You can also do the same with your mists, spray, spread, enjoy!





Shimmerz products used:
Coloringz: Lime In Da Coconut
Vibez: Pop Art Pink
Shimmerz: Bubble Gum, Aqua Marine

Have a fabulous day!

Happy Days- using new ****DIMENSIONZ****



I'm super excited to have received the newest Shimmerz's product: "Dimensionz" and I was happy to get a chance to play with this product on this layout below.


Here is the layout:


The first thing I did was paint inside a spiral stencil in 3 different Dimensionz colours: Blueberry Hill, Green Thumb and Blue Lagoon. I simply squirted some paint on my craft mat and painted inside the stencil using a brush. Once dry, I squirted raised dimensional dots over some of the areas.


I painted the 2 Crafty frame using the Blueberry hill Dimensionz paint.


The 2 Crafty chipboard title "happy" was covered in Blue Lagoon Dimensionz. I was able to achieve a dimensional raised appearance because I applied the paint thickly on the chipboard.



If you want to purchase these new products you can go to the Shimmerz store HERE. Just make sure you mention my name in the "Instructions to Merchant" box during checkout and you will receive a free sample of either Texturez or Dazzlerz.
 It's a perfect oportunity to get a hold of some new products and even take advantage of the Shimmerz sale as Stacey is retiring some of the old products!!

NEW Dimensionz are Here! and Adding color to some Metals with Shimmerz


Hello Shimmerz Fans! Shimmerz is sooo excited to release  their brand new Shimmerz Dimensionz ! These are sooo amazing and you will want them in your scrappy supplies!!! They are thick and highly pigmented so the colors are vibrant!  

I have used some Blueberry Hill and actually painted it on my butterfly chippys. I used a heat tool to set them and it bubbled so nice and added some texture to the finished chippys! 

 
Here is a closeup...I LOVE that brilliant color and the added texture!  
 
 

Next up, have you ever used your Shimmerz to alter some metal pieces? Well this is one of my new favourite things to do with my Shimmerz! You can alter your pieces to match your creation and the pieces are just so orlginal and a great way to add your special touches to your project!

 
Just paint, drizzle or drip the Shimmerz on one color at a time. I like to heat set between colors and it is always fun to watch it bubble hehe.


Here is a close up of the fabulous heart…YUMMY!


Look at how vibrant the colors are.


Here is one more tag with some fabulous altered metals!


The background of this tag also has some gorgeous Shimmerzingz in Goldie Lox…just look at that shimmer and shine! LOVE it!

 

All of these techniques are perfect for this months challenge to use your Shimmerz and make some cards!! Don’t forget to share it on our Facebook page to qualify for this months prize!
