One way to add interest to lettering is by adding texture. Here, designer Tracy Junge shares a few ideas that will jazz up lettering. - First, Junge suggests running a die-cut letter through a Xyron sticker machine. After peeling protective film from top adhesive surface, attach cotton by simply pulling and rubbing small pieces across.
- To create letters with both dimension and texture, first adhere a die-cut letter to a darker backing cut in the same shape (only slightly larger). After adhering, run the combined letter through a crimper. After being removed from the crimper, letters are often slightly distorted. Pull and straighten letter to reshape before applying to page.
- A fresh, charming effect can be created with specialty hand punches. Here, Junge uses a heart punch to punch small accents onto letters. For more interest, Lange mounts the letter to a contrasting shade of paper or cardstock so that it shows through the punched shape on the top layer.
