After your photographs, the title is probably the most eye-catching element on a scrapbook page. Stamps can be used in many versatile and creative ways to make titles for your pages. Using some of these ideas, you can take one set of stamps to create stamped titles with quite different looks.
For a casual look, stamp your letters on colorful cardstock, then cut out each one following its shape.
To add some textural interest, use a background stamp first, then stamp your letters on top. Cut the letters into rectangles and mat with a coordinating color.
For a shadow effect, stamp the letters with a light color first, then stamp the letter again with a darker shade, placing it slightly askew from the first.
To draw the eye around your page, stamp your words vertically and horizontally, then cut out each word as a unit.
Take a look at your alphabet stamps, and think of some creative new ways that you can create stamped titles for your next scrapbook page!
