Merry and Bright | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz fans!

Nicole here and today I'm here with a 12x12 layout featuring two of my current favorite Shimmerz products: Paste-eez Puttin' On the Glitz (retired) and Dazlerz Foiled Again. I'm putting my Shimmerz focus on my back ground this week by squaring off my layout.  Here's a look at the final layout:

I created the layout using a plaid stencil with the Dazzlerz and a snowflake stencil with the Puttin on the Glitz.  The snowflakes show up better in the close ups below.  Here's a look at the background:

LOVE how this dried and showed all of the texture and shine!  After it was dry, I layered it using Heidi Swapp's holiday line.  Here are more close ups:

Once my layers were built, I went back in with Spritz Granny Grey and added some splatters.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have been inspired!

"Home" 12x12 Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz Fans!

Nicole here and today I'm sharing a 12x12 layout featuring a shimmery wreath cut file in gorgeous fall Shimmerz colors! Here's a quick look at my final layout:

 

For this layout, I cut a wreath cut file out three times.  Each wreath was then colored with a Shimmerz color: Creameez Witches Blue (which has to be my new addiction!), Inklingz Mochachino and the third was misted with the Shimmeringz Goldie Lox! If you ever need a hit of gold sparkle, I HIGHLY recommend Goldie Lox!!! 

For my background, I prepped the entire surface with clear gesso and then added splatters of the Witches Blue, Mochachino and also Inklingz Penny 4 Your Thoughts.  I then used some of my very own designed die cuts for embellishing, along with gold Thickers!  Here are a few close ups for you:

Here is a list of the Shimmerz products that I used in today's project:

There's Nobody Else 12x12 Layout | Shimmerz Paints DT

Hello Shimmerz Fans!

Nicole here and today I have a different type of layout to share with you!

For this weeks project, I'm using my Shimmerz to create my own patterned paper to create a large title with!  

I started by painting 3 sheets of 6x6 watercolor paper with Shimmerz Spritz Granny Grey, Vibez Grey Flannel and Vibez Sweet Heart. After dry, I then used the Large Jane alphabet stamp from Elle's Studio to stamp out all the letters that I needed to spell out my very large and long title. I then fussy cut all of the letters and spelled my title out.

Once I had my alphas in place, I ran them thru my sewing machine and stitched a straight line thru all the letters.  Because that took up most of the room on my page, I then had two areas left that I was able to use to add my two photos.  I embellished those photos with some bits and pieces from my stash then added two of the Shimmerz Dotz to call my layout complete! Here are a few additional close ups as well as the process video from my YouTube channel!

The Shimmerz products used on today's layout are:

Vibez Grey Flannel

Spritz Granny Grey

Vibez Sweet Heart

Dotz

Thanks so much for joining me today!

I hope you had fun and got inspired!

Back To The Good Stuff | Shimmerz Paints

Hello shimmery friends and happy Friday!

Nicole here and today I have a back to school layout to share with you using a few mists and and two Dazzlerz!  Before we get started, here's a quick look at my final project:

 My inspiration for this layout was a cut file that I received with my Elle's Studio monthly kit. That's the large and small apples on this project!  I created my own stencil using plain white cardstock and my Silhouette and misted the fruit part of the apple with Vibez Rose Gold Red. Once dry, I mixed together Dazzlerz in Sour Apple and Gummy Bear Blue to get the darker green and texture of the stems and leaves.  Here's a close up:

  

After all of the little apples were dry, I added my large apple which was a combination of Vibez Rose Gold Red and also Razzeltazzel Berry and Spritz Caribbean Sunset with a highlight of Vibez Sunset Strip. I also used the same Dazzelerz mixture for the stem and leaf.

Next, I added some splatters and used the packaging technique on the top left and bottom right of the white areas of the background for another pop of color. Lastly, I finished my project off with large Vicki Boutin stickers, two of my favorite first day of school photos and some adorable pencil stickers, enamel dots and journaling.  Here are a few additional close ups:

The Shimmerz products that I used on today's project are:

Spritz Caribbean Sunset

Vibez Sunset Strip

Bivez Razzeldazzel Berry

Vibez Rose Gold Red

Dazzlerz Sour Apple

Dazzlerz Gummy Bear Blue

Better Together Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz Fanz!

Nicole here and today, I'm keeping it simple, fun and colorful on a 12x12 layout!

For today's project, I really wanted to use a butterfly cut file designed by Paige Evans, but I wanted to use it in a different way other than backing it.  The butterfly had tons of detail, so I decided to use it as a stencil in two different ways!  Here's a close up of my finished layout:

Would you just look at the detail in the butterfly?! I loved it so much that not only did i use the file to apply modeling paste to the large focal point butterfly, but I used it to mist thru on my white background paper as well!

I also used the same butterfly cut file to offset and cut the smaller layered butterflies as well.  I misted those, along with the larger butterfly, with Vibez Sunset Strip, Colorings Well Blue Me Down, Vibez Sweet Heart, Coloringz Pink Stilettos and Vibez Snow Way Man.  I also used the Snow Way Man on my background stenciling. Here are a few more close ups of my completed layout:

....and here's a look at the colors used in today's project....

I hope you've been inspired!
