Hey there Jillibean Soup Friends! It is Leanne here today and I am sharing one of my favourite techniques using Alpha Stickers on a layout.
Using alphabet stickers is the easiest way to create drama on a page. Title work can become an element in and of itself with your layout design. Alphabet stickers certainly draw the eye when used in an effective way and my all time favorite stickers are the Jillibean Soup Alphabeans!
To create an eye-catching title, it needs to stand out from the rest of the page and help tell the story. The Orange Grid Alphabeans literally take centre stage. By having the Alphabeans in this position, the title frames the photo but also leads into the documentation to create meaning and substance on the page.
The size and width of the Alphabeans are perfect to highlight a 4”x4” photo without causing too much clutter.
I wanted the Alphabeans on this layout to be precise and symmetrical. It was essential to the design that they were positioned just so. To achieve a similar look, grab your favorite Alphabeans and a clear ruler.
This is my true and tried method of placing alphabet stickers directly to a layout. The small lip on the ruler allows the bottom edge of the sticker to temporarily attach itself but still keep the rest of the sticker from adhering randomly while trying to put it into position. Spell out the entire word or phrase, keeping note of the spacing between alphas. Now you can move or slide the ruler to find the perfect placement for your Alphabeans.
To create an even bigger impact with alphabet stickers, team them up with a smaller sticker font. The original Alphabeans coordinate perfectly with all the current collections. The ones seen here are Grilled Gray.
Finally add your journaling to fill in the gaps that the title and subtitle leave out.
