Gift Box and Candy Toppers

Hi everyone! It's time for my very first ed team video... and while I am certain it will get better each go 'round, this time go easy on me, alright?!

I wanted to show you how to make a gift box out of a plain old plastic box. You can certainly use chipboard, or any other kind of box as well, using the method I show you in the video. Then, on Thursday, I will be showing you how to top your gift boxes with fake candies.

Here is a glimpse of what we will be making....

The first box was made using Vibez in Jeni B. Blue and Sea Monkey. The second box, the one I actually create in the video, uses Vibez in Razzle Dazzle Berry and Spritz in Ruby.

Here we go...

With Crafter's Workshop Templates

Join me and try a few things using Crafter's Workshop templates with Shimmerz products: Shimmerz, Vibez and Spritz.

Here is the layout where I used the sunburst template and the technique demonstrated in the video. 

I also used the Crafter's workshop's template and created the doodling around the photo and the light blue patterned paper. 

Thank you and see you next time!

MESSY CIRCLES - PART 1

Hi everyone!  It's Lesley Langdon here with you today.  I am so excited to bring you my FIRST video for the Shimmerz Education VLOG!

I hope you like messy, because that is exactly what you're getting.  Let loose with your colors, don't worry about splashes of color going every which way.

Pull out some white cardstock and play along with the video.  I dare you to have fun and embrace your messy side.

SYNOPSIS: MESSY CIRCLES PART 1

This quick paced video will demonstrate how to make your own MESSY CIRCLES scrapbook layout background using SHIMMERZ Paints products (Vibez, Spritz, Pearlz, Blingz, and Shimmerz). We'll explore using TWO different color palettes, using the same technique.  Tips covered in the first video include misting, painting, dripping, and how to make the most out of every drop of spritz.

The shorter of the two videos (available for viewing this Thursday) will include stamping, applying bees wax, and painting Shimmerz onto the layout in its final stages to help bring our MAIN color back into the mix.
