Shimmerz Paints October Color Kitz Inspiration & Process Video!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints inspiration! 

It's the first of the month, and that means new Kitz! Yayyy! 

Here's  what the Shimmerz Paints October Color Kitz looks like.....

So.much.gorgeousness!

This stunning kit contains the following: 

1 x Spritz: Tuscan Sun 1 oz

1 x Vibez: Hot Fudge 1 oz

1 x Creameez: Jolly Green Giant

& 

1 x Shimmerz: Pumpkin

PLUS 

 1 pkt of the Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice Dotz

These are the perfect colors and embellishments for heading into Fall!

 And speaking of Autumn, here's what I created with the October Color Kitz....

"Happy Moments" 

Oh my!!! Isn't this just beauti-Fall?! 

I just LOVE that  Shimmerz: Pumpkin color!

Soooooo super pretty & full of shimmery goodness!
And the funny part?
 I dislike creating with orange. It's so not my color!
Give me all the blues & pinks, but never orange.
And this is exactly why I love the Color Kitz!
They encourage me to step away from my set 'favorites' & get me to try new colors that I wouldn't normally choose!
Since creating this layout, I'd have to say Shimmerz Pumpkin is going on my 'must-have' favorite Shimmerz colors list!
And it wasn't just the Shimmerz Pumpkin that won my heart....
I'm also smitten with the Creameez Jolly Green Giant!
That green is errrrything!
Absolutely divine!

But enough chatter, here's a closer look at my layout....

Such a fun & whimsical page! Happy moments, indeed!
I've combined our beautiful October Color Kitz with scrapbook supplies from Elle's Studio & sequins from our friends at SpiegelMom Scraps. They coordinate together perfectly! 

I started my layout by painting all the inset pieces of the Fox cut file (courtesy of the Silhouette Design Store). I thought the fox would really showcase that fabulous Shimmerz Pumpkin, and the florals would be perfect for highlighting the Tuscan Sun & Jolly Green Giant colors. I also used Hot Fudge to paint the nose and eyes. Super cute! 

Next, I painted up a few pieces of smooth white paper in Creameez Jolly Green Giant. I used these pretty green papers to die cut a selection of leaves & foliage, which I arranged around the inset shimmery fox.

I just love how effective this bright pop of green looks against the Pumpkin fox! Gor-jus!  

I tucked my darling photo into the curve of the fox's tail, and embellished with the Thankful Dotz from the Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice set. I also used the floral Dotz to adorn the flower crown on the fox....

So very beautiful!

& how good does the Hot Fudge look for the nose & eyes?! 

So rich & warm! LOVE!

I embellished my layout with hearts, labels, phrase stickers & sentiments from Elle's Studio, then added a bunch of splatters with my new fave, Shimmerz Pumpkin! 

For finishing touches, I sprinkled SpiegelMom Scraps Lovely Day and Into the Woods sequins throughout the page.

Shimmerz Paints September Color Kitz & Process Video!

Hi Shimmerz Friends & Fans! 

Amanda here, & I am so super excited to be sharing my layout & process video with the gorgeous new September Color Kitz! 
And oh my heart! The colors in this month's kit are just divine!!!
Here's a reminder of what the September Color Kitz look like....

Wow!!!

The Kit includes the following items:

• 1 1oz bottle of Keep Palm Vibez
• 1 1 oz bottle of the exclusive new color: Practice What You Peach Spritz
• 1 package of exclusive Dotz "Gingham Greatness"
• 1 jar of Wisteria Lane Shimmerz
• 1 jar of In A Jam Creameez

Simply stunning! 

If you're super quick, and really lucky there might be one or two of these Color Kitz still in stock - visit the shop HERE. 

Here's what I created with them...

"Cherish"

Oh my! Cherish indeed!

There's no denying that the September Color Kitz are perfect for all your Fall theme projects!

Just stunning!

My pretty layout actually began as a quick wreath painting that I shared to the Shimmerz Paintz Sharez Facebook page a couple weeks ago - you might remember it? 

Isn't this a pretty approach to testing your colors? So much more lovely than a color swatch! 

And as I like to say, when in doubt wreath it out!

I used the gorgeous Vibez Palm Reader for the leaves, Creameez In A Jam for the rose, the all new exclusive Spritz Practice What You Peach for the smaller blooms, and an array of tiny dot flowers with Shimmerz Wisteria Lane. 

With such a gorgeous wreath on my desk, I felt inspired to create another...

This time I painted straight onto my pretty pattern paper & used the beautiful Creameez In A Jam for the foliage. The blooms were painted in Shimmerz Wisteria Lane, and I added a few splatters for good measure too!  

I fussy cut around the original wreath, and foam mounted it onto the newly painted one. This created both dimension & interest to the design and also added some depth to the combined wreaths as well. 

Between the layered wreaths, I tucked in two of the Gingham Greatness Dotz - LOVE!!!!

I embellish my photo cluster with fussy cut florals from the Jen Hadfield, Along The Way collection and add a good sprinkle of the SpiegelMom Scraps Summer Morn sequins. 

Such beauti-Fall details!!!

Interested in seeing how I painted those wreaths, and created this layout?

I hope you enjoyed my video.

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: Love, Spring Blooms & all the Vibez!

Hi Everyone!

Time for another fun installment of Shimmerz Paints inspiration!
Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page that is all about the love, Spring blooms and our gorgeous
Vibez & Spritz mists! 

Swoon!!! 

Isn't this just the prettiest?!! 

#purpleforthewin

I have used the Paper Issues Floal Heart Free Cut File with Pink Paislee's: Paige Taylor Evans Pick Me Up collection. Such a perfect combination! 

I have drawn on the colours from this line, and created a super sweet background using

Shimmerz Paints:

Vibez Princess

Vibez Razzeldazzel Berry

Vibez Sweet Heart

Spritz Walkin' A Tight Heliotrope

Here's a closer look at my layout, 

"Love"

That background is errrrrrything!!!

To recreate, simply use the packaging technique with your fave Shimmerz Paints colors! Add a few inky splatters and you're ready to go! 

Simple, but so effective! 

Beautiful, vivid colors because at Shimmerz Paints it's all about the color!

Oh so pretty! 

Love the gold fol highlights in this collection too!

This is my daughter and I, all dressed up as Pink Ladies for a costume party, LOL! 

We had such a fun time - being silly with the camera too!

Isn't that cut file awesome?!

Love, indeed!

Shimmerz Paints: All About the Blues!

Hi Creatives!

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints inspiration!
Instead of focusing on a particular Shimmerz Paint product,
today's post is all about my fave colour; blue!
Here's what I've created ......

"Life Is Good"

Awesomeness!
I took these sweet pics of my darling boy at the beach on Christmas Eve and couldn't wait to document them! So cute! And such happy memories too!
I've used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Bohemian Dream collection, and have drawn from all the blues in this line too!
With it being a coastal theme, ombre blues seemed a perfect choice for my background paper.



That Shimmerz Paints background is totally WOW!

Here's how I created it......

I used a scribbles circle stencil in a right alignment position. 

I wanted to create an ombre look with our awesome sprays.

Starting from the top, I misted a row of Spritz: Sapphire, followed by Vibez: Jeni Be Bleu, & lastly Vibez: Cold As Ice. I add a few flicks of paint from each spray nozzle too!

So cool!

While that was drying, I painted up my chippie title .....

I start with good wet coat of Creameez: Boogie Boardin' Blue, and before it dries, I blend in some Inklingz: Me & Blue. This adds more interest to the title, as well as more shimmer & shine! 

To make the title stand out a lil more, I outline the script with a fine line black permanent pen. 

Seriously good! 

I LOVE how effective this looks!

Here's a closer look at my completed page.....

That spritzed background is just so stunning! 

I hope you'll give creating your own Shimmerz Paints background a try!

I think you'll agree that the end result is so worth it!
