Hello January | Sarah Millerhouse | January Color Kitz


The January Color Kitz and Paperz are absolute color perfection! I loved every second of creating with these beautiful products!! Be sure to check out the process video linked below!

For my layout, I started with Foundations Mixed Media cardstock. I added Ranger’s Opaque Texture Paste through a stencil from my stash. I let that dry for about an hour. 


I then added all of the colors from the January Color Kitz, including the Shimmerz - Pool Me Close from the January Bonuz Bundle, in large splotches of color. I knew I wanted the color and layout to generally run from the top right corner diagonally to the bottom left corner, so I added my color splotches accordingly. I didn’t have a specific look in mind except that I wanted all of the fabulous colors on the background. 

Once that dried, I cut three strips of patterned Paper from the January collection, distressed the edges, and stacked them across the middle. 

I cut circles from the patterned papers and ran some of them through texture folders to add a little more detail. I then added lots of pieces of ephemera from the January collection above and below my photos, keeping in mind the direction I wanted the layout to go. I used craft foam and distressed the edges to add texture and dimension. I added sequins from the January Bonuz Bundle to the snowflakes with hand-stitching and in clusters around the page. I also added a few black crystals from my stash to tie in more of the black and white patterned papers. I finished the layout by adding Pops of Color in coordinating colors for some added detailing.
