Tips and Tricks for Playing with Shimmer Piant

Hello Everyone,

Shimmer Paints are a returning item from a few years ago and are in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  There are many ways that you can use these wonderful, beautiful paints. You can use them on paper as well as fabric.

You can purchase these items at my store.

Tips and Tricks

  1. You can use saran wrap. Put some shimmer paint onto a clear block and take a piece of balled up saran wrap and dip it into the paint. Then dob it all over a plain whisper white piece of cardstock. Once dry you can stamp your images. This gives your card a mother of pearl effect.Mother of Pearl Effect
  2. Take a plain stamping spot and pour shimmer paint over it, then take a plastic knife and work it into the spot until it is all absorbed. You can now use this colored spot to stamp an image or sentiment. Take a plain stamping spot and pour shimmer paint over it, then take a plastic knife and work it into the spot until it is all absorbed.

  3. Pick up ink in any color on a stamp, then take a sponge dobber and pick up the desired color of shimmer paint and stamp image. This gives you a multi-colored shimmer effect.
  4. Run your cardstock through an embossing folder and sponge over the raised edges with any color ink. Take a plain dobber and pick up some shimmer paint on a clear block before running it over the embossed image.
  5. Using a spritzer add Frosted White Shimmer Paint and few drops of reinker in any color you chose, then spray your cardstock to turn it into an extra shimmer background layer piece. Using a spritzer add Frosted White Shimmer Paint and few drops of reinker in any color you chose, then spray your cardstock to turn it into an extra shimmer background layer piece.
