I've recently discovered that SHIMMERZ and jewlery just go together. We love to wear shimmery, shiney, blingy jewlery, and SHIMMERZ delivers. This first video will show you how to get started. It's so fun and super easy!!! Enjoy.

Shimmerz Education Team Call

Calling all Shimmerz fans!

I don't want you to forget about the Shimmerz Education Team Call! You have a little less than 3 weeks to organize yourselves and send in your application. If you love to teach and you love Shimmerz (and really, who doesn't?), this team is the perfect fit!

All the details can be found on the Vlog.

Plus, a little birdie just told me that we will be teaming up with some ROCKING guest designers and ROCKING sponsors. I can't wait to spill the beans...It's like waiting for Christmas...so hard...zipping the lips right now. Throwing away the key...giggle...

I can't wait to see your videos and projects!

Create Custom Colored Embellishments with Shimmerz

This may seem like a no brainer, but it wasn't till last week that I tried painting embellishments with Shimmerz myself.  I will add a picture of the dried painted embellishment in the video later, but meanwhile, check out this easy thing to do with Vibez and Pearlz.

Shimmerz Junque Journal Cover Technique

As promised last month, I made a technique video demonstrating how I made the cover of my Junque Journal.

I use this technique a lot when I'm making backgrounds. It may look complicated, but it is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

This is the cover that I demo in the video.

Enjoy!



In this video, I used the new Fiery Fiesta Vibez as well as Blue into town Pearlz. You can purchase Shimmerz products in the Shimmerz Shop.

If you'd like to publish videos and receive free Shimmerz products to complete your projects, don't forget about our Shimmerz Education Team call going on now!

Happy Creating!

Pearlz Buttons

I just had the 'Delight' of working with some air dry modeling compound - called Delight and mixing it with some of the new Shimmerz products - Vibez and Pearlz!

You can see how I created my button embellishments in this how-to tutorial.



You will need the following supplies:

Delight - air dry modeling compound
Shimmerz Pearlz - Luscious Lilac, Blue By U, Peas Be Mine - I also used some Vibez to accent in Pop Art Pink & Fiery Fiesta
Stamp to impress into air dry clay
Small cutters - the size you want to make your buttons - I used a lid





I hope you enjoy making your own unique embellishments! Thanks for watching!
