The key is to choose scrapbooking papers that are not too busy and do not feature too many colours. Also, in this layout, the floral paper is complimented with a plain paper in the same hue.

Materials Used: Papers from the Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper collection, Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper, orange cardstock, green alphabet rub-ons, brown pen and miscellaneous butterfly stickers.

To recreate this layout, follow these instructions:

1. Set aside your orange cardstock for your background.

2. Cut four strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper measuring 5cm by 25.3cm. Adhere one strip vertically in the bottom left corner of your page and another vertically in the top right corner of your page.
 
3. Turn your remaining two strips of Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper over so you can no longer see the blossoms design. Adhere one horizontally in the top left corner of your page and the other horizontally in the bottom right corner of your page.
 
4. Arrange your photos to form a square in the middle of your page. I have used a 6×8 photo for the large photo and cropped two 4×6 photos to create my square.

5. Cut out a large blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms scrapbooking paper and adhere on top of join between all three of your photos.
 
6. Cut a strip of Chatterbox Den Light Tie Circles paper measuring 1cm by 25.3cm. Turn it over so you can only see the green side (you could use green cardstock for this instead). Adhere across the top left of your page, as shown in the layout above.

7. Cut out a medium size blossom from your Chatterbox Sun Tangerine Blossoms paper and adhere in the top left corner of your page, on top of your green strip.
 

8. Finish off your page with a title in the bottom right corner. To create my title, I have used green alphabet rub-ons and a brown pen, but you could use any combination of alphabet stamps, stickers, rub-ons or pen work.

9. Finally, add a butterfly sticker or something similar to finish off your title.

Materials Used: Cloud 9 Pink Hearts paper, American Traditional Glitter paper, My Minds Eye Quite Smitten Surprise Bouquet paper, Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbon paper, Karen Foster Purple Houndstooth paper, white cardstock, light purple cardstock, pink cardstock, a purple pen, random pink alphabet stickers and Sticko Metallic Butterflies stickers.

To recreate this scrapbooking idea using butterfly scrapbooking stickers, follow these steps:

1. Use the Cloud 9 Pink Hearts paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of American Traditional Glitter paper measuring approximately 10.7cm by 11.8cm. Glue vertically in the top right corner of your page approximately 1.5cm from the right edge and 1.7cm from the top edge.

3. Cut a second piece of American Traditional Glitter paper, this time measuring approximately 2cm by 10.5cm. Glue vertically on the left side of your page approximately 1.5cm from the left edge and 8cm from the top edge.

4. Cut a piece of My Minds Eye Quite Smitten Surprise Bouquet paper measuring approximately 23cm by 2.4cm. Glue towards the bottom left corner of your page approximately 2.5cm from the left edge and 1.9cm from the bottom edge.

5. Cut a piece of Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbon paper measuring approximately 25 by 4.8cm. Mat with white cardstock and glue across the bottom of your page approximately 3.6cm from the bottom edge. The left edge should be up against the left edge of your paper, as shown in the scrapbooking idea above.

6. Cut a piece of Karen Foster Purple Houndstooth paper measuring approximately 25cm by 2.4cm. Glue across your Paper Ribbon paper from step #5 approximately 0.6cm below the top edge of your Paper Ribbon paper.

7. Mat a vertical 4×6 photo with light purple cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 4.2cm from the left edge and 3.2cm from the top edge. You will find it sits nicely in the top left corner of your pink paper.

8. Mat a smaller vertical photo with white cardstock and again with light purple cardstock. Glue next to your first photo. It should sits nicely in the top right corner of your pink paper, as shown above.

9. Use a random collection of pink alphabet stickers to write your title in the space underneath your small photo.

10. Cut a circle from pink cardstock. It should be about 5.3cm in diameter. Using a purple pen, draw a dotted border around the edge.

NOTE: If you want to conceal a small detail, like a date, include it in your dotted circle as I have done.

11. Mat your pink circle with light purple cardstock. You can use a plain or decorative-edged circle. For added effect, add a dashed border as well!

12. Glue your circle towards the bottom right corner of your page. I positioned mine as if it was at the end of my Paper Ribbons paper, but the exact positioning is up to you. When in place, add two metallic butterfly scrapbooking stickers, as shown above.

13. Finally, add 3 or 4 extra metallic butterfly stickers around your page.

Butterflies make stunning embellishments for your scrapbooking layouts. And they are so versatile! I have used them in combination with my flower photos, but they work beautifully with photos of weddings, anything with girls, romance, vacations and much more.

Scrapbooking with ribbon is a great way to add texture and pizzazz to your scrapbooking layouts but if you haven’t used scrapbooking ribbon before, the process can be a little daunting. One of the biggest problems I am always asked about is how to attach ribbon to your page so that it stays in place. So, I thought I would put this guide on adhering ribbon together for you.

I warn you though, once you start using ribbon, you will be addicted!

Methods Of Adhering Ribbon

1. Liquid glue such as KI Memories Gloo ensures your ribbon stays permanently attached to your page. However, it is often messy and takes time to dry. This makes it difficult to finish your page in one sitting as you have to wait for the glue to dry before moving on to the next step. Personally, I do use KI Memories Gloo, but when other methods are not appropriate.

2. Brads eliminate the need for an adhesive. To attach them, position the ribbon on your page and poke a small hole through the ribbon right though to the back of the page. Feed the brad through the hole and flatten the arms of the brad on the back of your page. This is a very useful method of attachment if you want your ribbon to lie flat but not glued all the way along. Also keep in mind that a brad is three-dimensional and will stand out from your page a little.

3. Xyron Create-A-Sticker is my favourite way to adhere ribbon to a page. It is the perfect tool when you want your ribbon to lie completely flat and be glued all the way along. To use a Xyron, simply feed your ribbon in the top and pull it out the bottom. As the ribbon passes through this nifty little gadget, adhesive is attached to the bottom of the ribbon, turning it into a sticker.

4. Stitching is a time-consuming technique, but if you do take the time to do it, the effects can be stunning. Either by hand or with a sewing machine, stitch along both edges of the ribbon. Alternatively, place a handful of stitches in a few strategic positions along the ribbon to hold it in place. Another popular method is to cut a small piece of ribbon (perhaps 5cm long) and place a few stitches in the middle of the ribbon so that it is securely attached to your page while leaving the ends free for you to tie a bow or a knot.

5. Threaded effects can also look wonderful. To achieve this, cut your paper with either a craft knife or a small hole punch and thread the ribbon through the holes. This allows you secure your ribbon exactly where you want it. For example, you could cut a series of slits in a row and thread the ribbon through to create a weaved effect. Alternatively, punch two small holes, thread your ribbon through and tie a knot. To avoid tearing your paper, be careful not place your cuts too closely together and only use strong paper or cardstock.

Employing a combination of the techniques listed above on your scrapbooking pages will have you creating page after page with scrapbooking ribbon while still keeping your layouts looking fresh and original.

For example, the scrapbooking layout below involves little more than matting your photo and scattering some small squares of patterned paper around your page. But in using these squares to create a heart-shaped frame around your photo, you can create a gorgeous page to preserve a special photo.

Click Here To View Our Full Range Of Scrapbooking Papers

Materials Used: Pixie Press Rose Splash paper, Creative Imaginations Lavender Wash paper, Me & My Big Ideas Green Stripe paper, purple cardstock, green ink, All My Memories Alphabet stickers and Queen & Company Purple Heart Brads.

To recreate this heart scrapbooking idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Rose Splash paper as your background. Lightly ink around the edges with green ink. The effect is subtle, but it does help to bring out the green in the paper’s design. Set aside to dry.

2. Mat a 4×6 horizontal photo with purple cardstock. The border around your photo should be quite small (around 2mm).

3. Mat your photo again with Rose Splash paper. This border should be much wider (around 10mm). Ink the edges with green ink.

4. When dry, once again mat your photo with purple cardstock. This border should also be narrow (around 2mm).

5. Place your matted photo on your background paper to decide its position, but do not adhere yet. If you wish, you can lightly mark where it will go with a pencil.

6. Cut out (or punch) a collection of 2cm squares from both your Creative Imaginations Lavender Wash paper and your Me & My Big Ideas Green Stripe paper. You will need 35-40 squares in total.

7. Ink the edges of your green squares with green ink and set aside to dry.

8. And now comes the creation of your heart scrapbooking idea! Arrange your squares in a heart shape around where your photo will go, as shown in the layout above. Make sure you use and variety of angles and keep in mind that you do not have to alternate your squares evenly all the way around your heart. In other words, it does not have to go purple, green, purple, green, purple, green etc. Doubling up on one or the other colours every now and then helps to add interest to your page.

9. Once you have completed you heart, adhere your photo in place.

10. Use your alphabet stickers to write your title towards the bottom right corner of your scrapbooking layout. Remember, keeping it small and understated draws the viewer’s attention to your photo and the heart frame you have created around it.

11. Finally, finish off your page with a simple heart accent like a Purple Queen & Company Heart Brad in the bottom right corner of your page, next to your title.

The beauty of this heart background scrapbooking idea is that it really doesn’t matter what scrapbooking supplies you have. You can adapt it to suit any papers you like!

My favourite type of alphabet letters are alphabet stickers. They come in so many different colours, shapes, sizes and styles and are very quick and easy to use. All you have to do is peel them off the backing paper and place them wherever you want on your layout. They are self-adhesive so you can literally create your titles in seconds.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Alphabet Stickers

In this layout, for example, it took about a minute to place black alphabet letters across the bottom of the page to create a title:

But you don’t have to use your alphabet letters just as is. There are lots of different things you can do to dress them up to create more unique and personalised titles on your layouts.

1. Create A Background

The simplest way to dress up your letters is to place them on a background of some description. For example, in the layout above, the alphabet stickers were placed along a strip of green paper. This helps the alphabet letters to stand out as well as give them some personality.

The same principle can be seen in this layout:

On this page, the light coloured alphabet letters really stand out because of the dark brown background they have been placed upon.

The background you use for your stickers is completely up to you. Most of the time you will probably use pieces of cardstock or patterned paper, but you can try other mediums as well. For example, this title has been made from Beary Patch Party Alphabet stickers and placed on a piece of white Magic Mesh to make the letters into a prominent element of the page as well as give the layout a bit of texture.

2. Mat Your Title

Another simple method to give your alphabet letters character is to mat them. You could mat each individual letter as shown in this layout:

This is an extremely effective technique, although a little time-consuming and often requires you to have good scissor or craft knife skills. I don’t want to put you off matting your letters as I LOVE this technique and use it all the time, but just keep in mind what it involves.

Instead of matting each individual alphabet sticker, you could mat your whole title block. This is less time consuming and can be just as effective. For example, in this scrapbooking layout, the alphabet letters have been placed on an oval journaling piece. The oval has then been matted before being placed on the page.

3. Simple Shapes

If you would like each individual letter to stand out but don’t feel like matting them like in the birthday layout above, you could instead use simple shapes like squares and rectangles as the mats for each letter.

In this scrapbooking layout, each letter sticker was placed on its own dark green square. A white pen was used to draw a border around each square and then the squares were glued in place to create a title.

Your shape does not have to have a plain background. For example, the title above was made by stamping a floral image on a piece of pink cardstock, cutting the cardstock into eight squares and then placing a Beary Patch Pink Rosebud Alphabet sticker in the centre of each one.

Of course, your shapes don’t have to be square either. Try spicing it up a little with other shapes such as circles, stars, balloons or hearts. This title uses Easter Egg shapes.

You can also try using different shapes in the same heading. For example, the first letter might have a square matt, the second letter a heart matt and the third letter a rectangular matt. The possibilities are endless.

4. Tags

Tags are a great way to add personality to your layouts and can be easily incorporated into your titles and journaling.

Following on from the idea of using shapes in your title, you could create a small tag for each letter of your title, as shown in this title:

Alternatively, you could create a single tag the features your entire title, as shown here:

This tag was very easy to create. The tag itself was made from pink cardstock with a vellum overlay and Magic Mesh placed across the middle. The first alphabet letter was then placed on rectangular background before being stuck to the tag with foam tape. The rest of the letters were then placed directly onto the magic mesh. Finally, the tag was further embellished with white daisy stickers, a white eyelet and pink fibres.

5. Mixing It Up

Once you get used to using alphabet stickers, you can really start to have some fun by mixing it up a little.

Instead of using the same letters for your whole title, replace the first letter (or the first letter of each word) with a different type of letter. It can be a different size, font or colour. It gives your layout that extra special touch and draws focus to your title with very little effort on your part.

For example, Doodlebug white alphabet stickers were used to create the title on this layout:

However, for added interest, the first letter was cut out from white cardstock with a different size and style to the other letters, giving the page an edge it would not have had otherwise.

The variations don’t stop there. You could also use different types of alphabet letters for each word of your title, as shown here:

In this layout, red Doodlebug alphabet stickers were used for the word ‘Love,’ brown Junkitz letters were used for the word ‘is’ and pink Creative Imaginations alphabet stickers were used for the word ‘Eternal.’ The combination of styles, sizes and colours created a sophisticated and stylish title in a short amount of time and with very little effort.

When you are comfortable with mixing and matching, try combining several different letters into each word of your title, as demonstrated in this layout:

This layout uses a combination of letters from Pebbles Inc, Hot Off The Press and Paper House to create a completely unique title (you can be sure noone else has created a title exactly the same as this one!).

6. Embellishing The Letters

There are so many different ways to use your alphabet letters to add personality and style to your pages, but you can actually enhance the stickers themselves as well.

One of my favourite techniques is to add glitter to make your letters sparkle, as seen on this title:

Here, Beary Patch Snowy Days Alphabet stickers were matted onto blue snow paper and then onto white cardstock. In itself, this is a great effect for those snowy layouts, but you don’t have to stop there. You can also use glitter to embellish the white snow caps on the letters to create a glistening sparkly effect, just like snow.

If you are a more experienced scrapper you may like to try gluing embellishments like buttons, felt or sequins on top of your letters to further personalise them and create a more three-dimensional, textured look.

For example, this letter has been embellished with beads:

The letter was first adhered to a piece of patterned paper. The red section was then covered with crystal lacquer (any type of strong glue can be used here) and the red beads placed on top. If you are using a technique like this, make sure you give it ample time to dry to ensure your beads are glued securely in place.

To further embellish this letter, a red heart from another letter was then cut out and placed above the heart on this letter sticker with a pop dot.

This is a great technique for those special layouts or to just enhance the first letter of a name or title.

Alphabet letters are an important part of any scrapper’s toolbox with alphabet stickers being amongst the most versatile and easiest type to use. They give an easy and quick way of creating titles and journaling on your scrapbook pages. And there is so much you can do with them that both novice and experienced scrappers can spend hours and hours finding new, creative ways to use them and dress them up.

I created this page to show off the roses my husband gave me on our 18 month anniversary. I wanted the page to follow a romantic theme while drawing attention to the redness of the roses. Hence, I chose a burgundy theme.

This layout was created using red plaid paper, Francheville red hearts paper, iridescent vellum, Hot of the Press white hearts vellum, white cardstock, a black pen and Suzy’s Zoo Ollie & Martha Valentines stickers.

Click Here To View Suzy’s Zoo Ollie & Martha Valentines stickers

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the red plaid paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Francheville red hearts paper measuring approximately 21cm by 28cm. Tear along each side to give a white edge. Glue vertically to your page approximately 4.5cm from the left edge and 1.5cm from the bottom edge.

3. Tear a strip of iridescent vellum approximately 8cm tall. Glue it across your page approximately 6cm from the top edge.

NOTE: Scrapbooking with vellum can be a difficult task. I often use a spray adhesive, but it can be messy, so I avoid it where possible. For this strip, spray adhesive was not necessary. Because I was placing my photo on top of the vellum, I simply placed the adhesive in the areas that would be covered up by the photo. I also placed adhesive in the area that I was later going to cover with a scrapbooking sticker. This way, the vellum was still glued down firmly, but I did not have to worry about messy adhesives or the adhesive being visible.

4. Tear a rectangle of  Hot of the Press white hearts vellum measuring approximately 18cm by 21cm. Glue to your page approximately 2cm from the left edge and 1cm from the top edge. Again, you only need to use adhesive in the areas that will later be covered by your photo, so you don’t have to worry about your glue being visible.

5. Mat your photo with white cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 6.5cm from the left edge and 4.8cm from the top edge.

6. Use a black pen to journal on the white heart vellum below your photo. When you have finished your journaling, tear out a piece of white cardstock that is slightly bigger than the space your journaling takes and glue it underneath the vellum to make your journaling stand out.

7.  Place the small rose sticker in the bottom left corner of the photo and a string of small heart stickers underneath.

8. Tear a rectangle of iridescent vellum measuring approximately 13cm by 9.5cm. Place your large Ollie & Martha sticker in the middle and three small heart stickers around it. Glue in the bottom right corner of your page. Again, you only need to place adhesive in the areas covered by your stickers.

9. Finally, place the large ‘Be Mine’ heart sticker on the vellum next to your photo, as shown above.

This is just one use for scrapbooking vellum. Please explore our other articles for more ideas and applications for this fantastic medium.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the blue stripes paper from the Cloud 9 Sorbet Blooms Paper Pack as your background.

2. Cut a piece of green paper from the Cloud 9 Sorbet Blooms Paper Pack measuring approximately 27.5cm by 24.5cm. Run the edge of your scissors along the edges to give a distressed white edge. Glue horizontally to your background approximately 1.5cm from the left edge and 3cm from the bottom edge.

3. Cut a square of Scenic Route Sentimental Dots paper measuring approximately 14cm by 14cm. Ink the edges with brown ink and when dry, glue to the centre of your page.

4. Mat two horizontal 4×6 photos (you may like to crop them a little) and one vertical 4×6 photo with light brown cardstock.

5. Glue your vertical photo in the bottom right corner of your page, approximately 2.5cm from the right edge and 4.2cm from the bottom edge.

6. Glue a horizontal photo next to your vertical photo so that the bottom edge is inline with the bottom edge of your vertical photo.

7. Glue your second horizontal photo above your first.

8. Cut a piece of light brown cardstock measuring approximately 10.7cm by 8.8cm. Ink the edges with brown ink and when dry, glue above your vertical photo. Add your journaling with a brown pen, but be careful – you will be covering significant areas of this piece with stickers later.

9. Place a tab sticker from Cloud 9 Sorbet Villa Thoughts stickers in the top right corner of your journaling piece, as shown above. Place another one near the top left corner of your top horizontal photo, as shown above.

10. Place the blue flower stickers at the top of your page in the centre, as shown above. Place the green stem sticker and leaf sticker below them. They will all overlap other elements on your page, so make sure you are not covering anything important.

11. Place the second green stem sticker down the right side of your vertical photo and the green flower sticker at the top of it. Add the leaf sticker and small orange sticker, as shown above.

12. Add a collection of small circular stickers around your journaling block for extra decoration.

13. Cut out an orange flower from the Green Flowers paper from the Cloud 9 Sorbet Blooms Paper Pack. Glue on the left side of your page, as shown above. Place a small green dot sticker at the centre of your flower. Then place the small blue flower sticker and another dot sticker below it, as shown above.

14. Cut out a pink flower and a white flower from the Green Flowers paper from the Cloud 9 Sorbet Blooms Paper Pack. Glue at the bottom of your page, as shown above. Place a brown dot sticker in the centre of each flower and a small green flower sticker next to them, as shown above.

15. Finally, using letters from Creative Imaginations Ocean Alphabet stickers, place your title in the top left corner of your page.
