You Can Always Use Alpha's!

You Can Always Use Alpha's!
Hello, friends! Alpha stickers are the perfect decorative elements for just about any creative project. They can make a title pop, add emphasis to an important reminder in your planner, or provide a little bit of texture to a memory-keeping spread. There were several sets of alpha's in the Umber & Gold Collection including a new font for the puffy alphas in the Umber & Gold Traveler's Notebook Memory Keeping Kit and the Umber & Gold Modern Memory Keeping Kit, a fun type font clear alpha set in the Umber & Gold Memory Keeping Sticker Kit. Alpha stickers come standard in quite a few of the kits, so if you love your alphas, you have plenty to choose from of varying sizes and styles. We asked our Creative Team to share why they love alpha and how they utilize them in their projects. Tanti loves filling her planner with alpha's, inside and out!
"Alphabet stickers are one of the craft items that I use a lot. I use them not only to write the title of my journal but also on my planner pages. This month we have three different alpha stickers that were included in the Umber & Gold Planner Kit, the Umber & Gold Planner Add On Kit, and the Umber & Gold Modern Memory Keeping Kit.
This is how I used them in my planner. I used them to highlight my to-do lists.
I love to combine two different kinds of alpha stickers to write titles. It adds an interesting look. On this spread, I mixed the alpha stickers from the Planner Kit and from the Modern Memory Keeping Kit.
For the title of the challenge lists I combined the alpha stickers from the Modern Memory Keeping Kit. and from the Planner Add On Kit."
Evy is an expert at mixing and matching alphas for her memory-keeping spreads.
"Alpha stickers are a must-have in my scrap cart! I keep all the alpha stickers of the kits and I have lots of them. I love that they have different colors, fonts, and sizes every month so that I can mix and match.
For this project, I used the puffy alpha stickers from the Umber & Gold Traveler's Notebook Memory Keeping Kit and the Umber & Gold Modern Memory Keeping Kit by mixing the 2 colors on the right page. I completed the page with a card from the Modern Memory Keeping Kit and some diecuts.
On the left page and which is the title of the project, I used another puffy alphabet from a past Cocoa Daisy Christmas kit. I think!
Obviously, some letters, like the E, were finished and I replaced them with the new alpha stickers. I love to mix different colors and sizes! I just added 2 chipboards here and a line made with the black gel pen."
