Today we’re adding movement and personality with a playful vertical title. In this quick creative burst, I’ll show you how to combine text paths and rotation variance to escape predictable placement — then finish it off with a stacked outline effect that adds depth and definition without overpowering your page.
Add accented characters and special symbols to your Artisan® projects using simple ALT codes. Make words like _piñata_, _café_, and _Noël_ look authentic and elevate your journaling with cultural flair.
This border design adds instant personality and movement to your pages. This technique turns a simple vertical border into a bold design feature by cutting your title directly into the edge and tilting each letter for playful visual interest.
Perfect for highlighting locations, events, or themes, this border creates a strong focal point while still leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. It’s a great way to add depth, direction, and a custom look—using just one vertical photo and a chunky font—while keeping your layout clean and intentional.
This themed border is versatile enough for any project—whether you’re creating a page, canvas, page panel, or more. It allows you to showcase a variety of digital art styles and kits on a single layout, embracing their differences while maintaining a cohesive, unified look. The contrast is what creates the beauty.
Blueprints don’t have to be used only for photo placement. In this Design Tip, explore how filling all the openings of a Blueprint with coordinating papers or colors can transform it into a custom background layer. By filling the structure underneath your page and placing photos, journaling, and embellishments on top of the Blueprint, you add depth, texture, and visual interest while keeping your photos as the focal point. This technique works beautifully for both bold, graphic designs and softer, story-driven layouts.
