Glitter Girl and tricky title typography (letter sticker scrapbooking video)
Class content ©twopeasinabucket.com
This week, Glitter Girl tackles a bit of tricky title typography… or what to do when you’re running out of letter stickers! In this discussion on the message board, the question specifically came up to how to make mixed-font titles without it going all wrong, so Glitter Girl has a few hints to share with you!
Truthfully, I could spend an entire workshop discussing things to do with letter stickers, so this week Glitter Girl focused on just that specific question, but she also curated a collection of other examples for you! You can find that here, with an ongoing collection of ideas for mixed letter stickers.
All the supplies featured this week can be found here. Just scroll down and you can add anything you fancy! There are lots of Thickers and letter stickers to choose from, plus badges from Hello Forever and several items from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection.
Three things to keep in mind for great letter sticker titles:
…keep the height relatively similar, unless you’re trying to make some sort of point with certain letters larger (like spelling a second word)
…arrange them on a common baseline, and keep the letters close together. Both of these help make it easier to read a mixed-up title and make it look less like a ransom note. Both awesome.
…choose the colours from things that already exist on your page, even if they only appear in a tiny little area.
And now, put those tips to use! This week Glitter Girl challenges you to mix your letter stickers to create a title and/or subtitle on your project, then share it in the Two Peas gallery. You can also leave a link in the comments here if you like.
Onward, covered in glitter, my dear scrapbookers!
The Adventures of Glitter Girl is a weekly series on Two Peas in a Bucket, and goes live every Wednesday. I’ll share each adventure here shortly after that. I hope you enjoy her quests for crafting happiness, and if you ever have a scrapbooking dilemma yourself, you can always call her to action on the message board.

Thanks – the tips about size really help. I have done it in the past and kept colour the same but like the idea of keeping size the same.

Following the tutorials and the designs that you give here, I have learned a lot in the past few days. Now apart from being an aussie writer I can now design many type of cards and decorations as well.
