Usually I create titles on my Silhouette. Sometimes I use Thickers. But lately I've found some great ephemera pieces that I think look great as a title. They're such a time saver! What's your preferred way to create a title? Have you tried something new for titles lately?

I do all of the options. It just depends on what mood I’m in and how much time I have.

I most often turn my title into 'thickers' by adding a Photoshop thickers style to it. My other favourite kind of title is using a swirly font and adding a stroke to it in Photoshop, so it looks like a sticker.

I use alphabet stickers or thickers.

I primarily create titles with dies & use stickers (flat, tile, & Thickers) & stamps on occasion.

My least favorite option is spelling out words using alphabet stickers, so I prefer to use premade titles whenever possible. Whether this is ephemera, phrase stickers, anything. I don’t have a cutting machine of any kind though.

I do all three, but I use phrase stickers or Thickers most often. Occasionally I would use my old school Cricut But I got a Joy not long ago, so I've been cutting titles more often.

I don't always have a title but when I do - anything from stickers and thickers to die cuts (machine or manual) to stamping to using something premade

I chose other since I can not select more than one option. I use:
Thickers
My QK alphabet dies.
Stickers from embellishment packs
Items from where we visited (post card for example)
And Sometimes no title.
Oh and stamps
Now that I do pocket pages, titles are more fun to me. It used to be an area I struggled in.

I do all of the options. It just depends on what mood I’m in and how much time I have. ...and what I have available. I might use a purchased diecut or tag or PL card. Or a photo may work as a title. For travel pages, a pic of a sign or a location name on a ticket or poster works great, too.
I usually use stickers or thickers, but often mix up the two, and use word stickers as well if I have some that fit the page. Occasionally I cut and piece together a Silhouette title, or cut a word or two and cobble together the rest of it with my sticker stash.
Would love to see some of your Silhouette and ephemera titles, Elsabelle. |

I don’t know how to answer this as I do pocket pages for project life and don’t have traditional titles. Some pockets have their own “title.” Ways I do titles for this (and my smaller albums also in pockets):
Premade “title” already on a PL card
Stamps - phrase or phrases added together or with alphabets
quik kutz alphabets
stickers
In my old scrapbook life it was typically letters I cut out from stencils!! And then backed in another color (no wonder pages took so long!! Lol) and then I’d typically have a subtitle with computer font and then my typed journaling. I don’t have a cutting machine (beyond the revolution for my quik kuts alphas).

All of the above ? Plus stamping also.

Usually Thickers but I also like the Paper Wizard titles and will use those if I find one that goes with my pics.

I voted "alphas" which I take to mean a combination. ? I use Thickers and other alphabet stickers, sometimes die-cut alphas from my Big Kick (don't have an electronic cutter), and sometimes I'll stamp a title. And sometimes no title at all.
I find titles hard to do.

Mostly I use my Silhouette. I do own letter stickers (and a few Thickers) but am tired of using 1/4 of a letter sticker sheet and being out of all the good letters. I really like welding my title words together and changing the size, and stickers don't do that...
I also take pictures of signs when we go places, and use that instead of a title...

I have used all of the above. I voted for Thickers as that seems to be my recent default, but I really like doing titles with my Silhouette. I like welding the letters together in a scripty font so that it's all one word. It gives a nice custom look. I also have some alphabet stamps in my stash and it's a goal to make more stamped titles. I like the idea of combining different looks and textures, and I think stamping is a good way of doing that.

I almost never have used Thickers/stickers in all the years I’ve been scrapping. I use my electronic cutter, but occasionally I have splurged for Paper Wizard titles.

I think the only option I don't do is use the Silhouette, even though I own one! My preference is to use a combination of things - thickers, stickers, die cuts, etc. Sometimes stamping, too!

I’m intrigued by the use of ephemera as a title piece! That sounds really interesting. Can you explain more, or give an example?

I use everything. Alphas, dies, word phrases, some thickers. Depends on the project. So I responded with ‘Other’.

I use Thickers, stickers, or cut one with Cricut.

I also use a bit of everything. I've been trying to use some of the large stash I have of pre-made words, either from thickers or die cut packs, but will use whatever works best for my page. I don't tend to use my silhouette for titles because I'm too lazy to fiddle with the software to get what I want, I can usually find something in my alpha stash that will work.

If I have a title, I mostly use die cut alphas.
I think I’ve used all of the above options though.

I chose "Other" because I use my Cricut or dies. Sometimes I use stickers and/or stamps too.

I use Thickers the most. I like the dimension and they are pretty easy to work with. I use both the letters and the phrases. My next choice is die cuts. Cocoa Vanilla makes really nice titles that have useful words on them. I also use flat stickers once in awhile when I can't find Thickers in the right color or size.
I don't have a diecutting machine right now but back when I had one I used it sometimes.
