Shimmerz Paints: August Color Kitz Inspiration & Process Video!

Hi Shimmerz Friends & Fans!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing a lil inspiration

(complete with process video)

with our gorgeous August Color Kitz!

This month's Color Kitz is absolutely stunning!

Such pretty colors! & just check out that exclusive ice cream cut file!!!

Colorz featured are:

Vibez Hermit the Frog

Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue

Inklingz Sunkissed

Shimmerz Pink

Plus Sprinkle Time! sequins from our friends at SpiegelMomScraps.

If you're super quick, you *might* be able to snare one still before they completely sell out!

Shop August Color Kitz HERE

I couldn't wait to get creating with this beautiful kit!

Here's what I came up with.....

"Bloom & Grow"

Oh my heart! Isn't this so pretty!

And before you ask about the ice cream cut file, let me tell you that my moody cutting machine ate every single one of those ice cream cones! I know, right?! So frustrating!

On the upside, digital files keep forever, & I'll try cutting it again after I've updated my software, lol!

I've also opted for a 'clean look' mixed media page - lots of controlled painting for this sweet page!

Here's a closer look at my layout....

Whoa! So.much.pretty!!!

Turns out you don't have to use the cut file to maximize the awesomeness of this kit!

I began my layout by painting a bunch of blooms and leaves from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Sophisticated" pattern paper (Midnight collection) using ALL the colors!

Where's the Heidi Ho Blue, I hear you ask?

Well, to create those darker green leaves I mixed Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue with Vibez Hermit the Frog - so you kinda get a bonus 'extra' color in your kit ;)

Once dry, I fussy cut all the florals and arranged onto the 12 x 12 white cardstock base.

Next, I sprayed some scrap paper with pure Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue.

With this newly created blue paper, I punched a few butterflies, and even backed it to my photograph for added interest.

In keeping with the butterfly adornments, I just couldn't resist using the beautiful

Butterfly Beauties Dotz

Aren't they the perfect embellishment?!

You can shop them HERE

Here's a closer look at them on my layout....

Beauties, indeed!

The pretty yellow & lime butterfly coordinates perfectly with the Vibez Hermit the Frog painted leaves. Love it!

For finishing touches, I add my title Bloom & Grow also from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight collection, & end with scattering lots of Spinkle Time! sequins onto my page....

So many lovelies to look at!

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

And such a 'clean' approach to using paints on your projects!

Wanna see how it all came together?

I hope you enjoyed watching my process video

& feel inspired to get creating with your August Color Kitz!

Shimmerz Paints: Happy Heart Process Video!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints awesomeness!
Today I am sharing some sweet Heart Day inspiration for you,
& there's also a process video too!
Valentine's Day is one of my all time favorite Holidays,
& I just LOVE creating all the heart things!
But enough chatter, here's my layout......

"Happy Heart"

Oh.my.heart!!!
This is so super sweet and completely melts me!
You'll spy the following Shimmerz Paints products:

Spritz Ruby
Spritz Cotton Candy
Vibez Pop Art Pink
Paste-eez Peach Fuzz
Paste-eez Salt of The Earth

What a wonderful color combination!
Here's a closer look for you.....

Gor-jus!!!
As well as our super shimmery, and divine paints I've also used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio: More Than Words collection & the Hello Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I start this layout by spraying Spritz Ruby to the top of the Hello Hearts cut file.
This very pretty red is so vibrant!

Next, I apply Vibez Pop Art Pink to the center of the cut file, and at the base of the cut file I spray Spritz Cotton Candy. I also add a couple more light sprays of the Ruby to add a lil tonal interest too!
Just look at the golden shimmer from the Pop Art Pink - Stunning!!!

These colors have my heart!

Before I attach the Shimmery cut file to the pattern paper base, I prep the paper with a light coat of Jo Sonja's White Gesso. I then apply Pop Art Pink with a very watery paint brush, creating a soft base of color. I then add splatters and droplets in Spritz Ruby & Cotton Candy, as well as the Vibez Pop Art Pink. I then apply those beautiful textured hearts with a Vicki Boutin Stencil & Paste-eez Peach Fuzz. So pretty!

The pink textured hearts are made from combining Paste-eez Salt of the Earth with Spritz Ruby - another gorgeous color combination!

For finishing touches, I add more Ruby droplets and a lil paint around my photo to complete my Happy Heart themed layout.

Here's one last close up for you....

Absolutely beautiful!

Shimmerz Paints: Holly Jolly Christmas Process Video!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for more painty fun with my latest layout
& process video for Shimmerz Paints!

Today I am sharing a lil Holly Jolly Christmas inspiration!

I trust you all had a safe & very Merry Christmas,

and now have a ton of Christmas photos to scrap?!

Well, I think I have the best Christmas color combination to share with you today - inspired by peppermint candy canes, no less!

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout......

I told you it was the BEST!!!

Ga - ga - gorjus!

I've combined my favorite Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea

with Spritz: Cotton Candy & Ruby,

Dazzlerz: Spun Sugar

Shimmeringz: Baby's Breath

What a stunning combination of our Shimmerz favorites!

Here's what I created with them,

"Holly Jolly"

Sigh! Isn't this so soft, & pretty for Christmas?!

I just love the fresh & modern look this creates - so light and playful!

Perfect for my 2 darlings in the photo!

Here's a closer look for you....

Wow!

I have combined these stunning colors with a couple of cut files, as well as Elle's Studio scrapbook supplies.

I start by creating my mixed media bases which my cut files layer onto.

I use the packaging technique and add lots of color droplets and splatters too!

Once dry, I apply the tiny dots stencil with Dazzlerz Spun Sugar.

I also spray the snowflake cut files with that soft jade color, Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea, and then give a light coat of Shimmeringz: Baby's Breath for a gentle hint of shimmery goodness!

I love how this turns out!

You can see the entire process in my video HERE.

Here's a few close-ups for you....

Those colors are just divine! Such a perfect combination!

Oh, & that cut file is a FREEBIE! Yesss!

I've popped a link for it in the description box on my channel - so be sure to check it out & subscribe to Happy Arty Days too!

That snowflake cut file is gorgeous!

It's called 'Snowed In', and is another Freebie - from The Cut Shoppe!

I love the soft hint of shimmer that the Baby's Breath adds to the Coloringz: Oh Say Can U Sea - so pretty!!!

And such a great way to add gentle interest to my photo cluster!

So.much.gorgeousness!!!

Shimmerz Paints: A Special Delivery for Christmas!

Hi Creative Friends!

Welcome back for more colorful, Shimmerz Paints inspiration!

Today I am sharing my take on the Shimmerz Paints November Color Challenge.

This month's challenge has a Winter Wonderland theme to it - so it's all our fave icicle colors and shimmering delights!

My color of choice is the gorgeous Texturez: Patina color, and here's why.......

"Merry Christmas"

Oh.my.heart! Isn't this just divine?!!

Meet out special delivery, ( and a lil early) Christmas present - our new mini Dachshund puppy!

Isn't he just adorable?!! Puppy Love!

& talk about a one color wonder!

Texturez Patina is just sensational!!! A perfect color for all your Christmas creations!

I've applied it around the border of my white cardstock base, using a repeat snowflake pattern and palette knife. Once dry, I then add two larger snowflake stencils with the pretty light green Patina color. LOVE!!!

Texturez paints are just incredible!

They boast the sheen of our Dazzlerz paints with an added textural element.

Think Dazzlerz with a coarse, sand like substance within them.

So gritty, dimensional and WOW!

You can check out ALL the fabulous Texturez Colors HERE

Let's take a closer look at that amazing Patina color.....

So.much.gorgeousness!!!

I've teamed our pretty mint Patina with Crate Paper's Fa La La collection, and let's just say, it's a match made in heaven!

I just adore the fresh mint, white and red color scheme! Beautiful!

Just look at all that dimension! Stunning!

That grittyness is a texture lover's dream!

And the color intensity is all kinds of awesomeness! So vibrant!

We're All About The Color, and Texturez Patina is all that and more!

I hope I have inspired you to add this amazing color to your mixed media kit!

Shimmerz Paints: October Color Challenge & Process Video!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints Education Team inspiration!

Today I am sharing my take on the

Autumn Vibes October Color Challenge!

My focus color for this month is Vibez Quit Yer Wine-n and oh my heart, this color is divine!!! Absolutely perfect for all your Fall creations!

Rather than rave about how beautiful this color is though,

here's a look at what I created with it.....

"October"

So Beautiful!

I just adore that photograph of my two darlings, and the Vibez Quit Yer Wine-n color was the perfect choice for both celebrating Fall and childhood playfulness!

I apply Quit Yer Wine-n to the top semi circle of the layout with the packaging technique. This creates a more textural look, and really highlights the berry tones within the Quit Yer Wine-n color. I also splatter this pretty color along the semi circle rim, and then decide to create a much smaller semi circle of splatters at the base of my layout too!

To compliment Quit Yer Wine-n, I add Vibez Glorious Day and Coloringz Ahoy Matey to the mix.

Here's a closer look for you.....

Gosh, it's pretty!!!

The golden hues in Glorious Day really add that 'extra' to the wine base. So beautiful!

While that mulberry wine base is gorgeous, I really must stress how different the Quit Yer Wine-n color appears when applied this way. Using the packaging technique really impedes the shimmering sediment in the paint. You'll still see 'shimmer' but not at the intensity that we're used to.

You'll spot the difference immediately when you see my title sprayed with Quit Yer Wine-n below....
