Just My Type… stick ‘em up!

I know, I know… corny title, right? But, perfect for this week’s “Just My Type” challenge: Show off your title by giving it the look of stickers!

My inspiration for this week’s challenge came from the NCAA website (http://www.ncaa.com), where I’ve been researching colleges for Shannon… I love how each of their big tournament logos has the look of a sticker. It’s bold and eye-catching! And, an easy look for us digi scrappers to achieve! Use already-created letter stickers or make your own by adding a “stroke” to your typed words.

(And, a word of warning: I just noticed that all my example layouts this week include photos of Shannon playing soccer… sorry ‘bout that!)

Here, I tried to replicate the NCAA look as closely as possible. I even used a similar font and wording, changing “College Cup” to “College Choices”! For this look, I used a font to type my title words, then simply added two strokes to the original blue letters… first, a white stroke and then a black one. I also filled in the “holes” on the letters, just like the NCAA logo!

On my second layout, I simply added a white stroke to Ali’s hand drawn word art. To help the title stand out even more, I simply layered it over a solid block of cardstock.

A really easy way to get the sticker look is to use lettering that already has the look of a sticker, as I did on this layout! I love it when our fabulous DD designers to all the hard work for us, don’t you?

I hope you join me this week for some sticker fun… can’t wait to see your stickers! Remember to post your layouts in the “Just My Type” gallery at Designer Digitals!
