Shake Your Shimmerz

Posted in Jacksonbelle Embellishments, Recent projects, Shimmerz Paint at 7:40 pm

How about a little shakin Shimmerz today?? Now, if you haven’t heard yet, Jacksonbelle Embellishment has these in stock - today a little limited in supply because they have been so sparkly and shiny that Lindsey had a good run on them. I know once she gets back from CHA she’ll have a re-stock happening!!!

I’ll try to describe how and what these are like - first I would like to say they are NOT like Perfect Pearls, Pearl Ex or Twinkling H2O’s - those are awesome products that give a shimmer - but a different kind of shimmer. Shimmerz are more like a liquid glitter - but are different from Stickles from Ranger (love that stuff too!!) which is more of a glitter glue type consistency and they are different than Radiant Pearls (remember those?? - yup I got a load of those and really dig em too!!!) that would only dry on porous surface - like paper….. I know, Shimmerz when they are dry (and they dry fairly quick AND on non-porous surfaces) are more like Copic Spica pens (now your talkin my kind of SPARKLE!!)- that’s the look you will end up with. Rather than being in a pen and being a little costly like the Spica, they are a smooth and thinner paint you paint on. Don’t get me wrong I love all things shimmery, sparkly and glitterfied!!!!! But I’m really lovin these Shimmerz - easy to use, clean up and you really can not beat the cost!!!!

Now you all know that anything with glitter or shimmer is fairly difficult to either scan or get a good picture of all that loveliness - right?? But I did the best I could in capturing their sparkle for you….. Here are a couple of projects

Card Details: Cardstock& ribbon : Papertray Ink; Pattern Paper: Chatterbox; Rubber Stamp: butterfly (Chatterbox), sentiment (Inkadinkado); Accessories: Shimmerz “Candle Light”, circle and scallop dies (Spellbinders), colored with PrismaPencils - this is one of those clever little clam shell cards that Michelle Wooderson showed on her blog.

Watercolored image - image, sentiment, and background from Cornish Heritage Farms. Well, if these are enough to get your glitter buds going - check out the Shimmerz blog for more samples - and if that wasn’t enough - Shimmerz has a great monthly incentive - for each and every sample you post either on your blog, SCS, 2 Peas, etc and show Shimmerz in the recipe - you simply send an email to Shimmerz to be entered into a drawing for MORE Shimmerz. Enjoy and Create, Lila
