Do you prefer stacked letters/DIY Thickers/ Dickers or do you prefer a title with an outline like this? (skip to 6:20) Do you create dimension with layers or use foam tape or use flat letters? |

all of the above? It depends on the layout, whether I'm using my Cricut with SCAL or with cartridges or if I'm using QK or metal dies. I don't tend to use foam tape on titles though

I love both looks! I typically layer up die cut letters ("dickers"), but I have a few word dies and letter dies that have an outline, and in that case I love 2-3 layers for the central component, and a single layer for the shadow layer.

It varies, depending on the look I'm going for.

I usually leave them flat... i have tripled the die cut letters to make "dickers" lol but not usually.... its tooo fussy for me... i just pop them down... not on foam or pop dots either

Omg lol well since you linked my video my answer is obviously dickers lol. Sometimes I try to use up some letter stickers and save time. I tend to decide somewhere in the process which way to go.

It's a great video! I just saw it for the first time. I haven't gone too deep into manual die-cutting. I only have a Sidekick right now. I'm just testing the waters. If I find that I really love it, I'll splurge on a Big Shot or one of the Spellbinders cutting machines. I have way too many Thickers and other alphas right now...they are organized, but they still drive me crazy. |

If you are only going to do alphas or small stuff I highly recommend the new spellbinders scout. It folds up and it's so cute. I have been keeping it out on my desk for dickers. |

I prefer the latter, specifically letter/words + a solid outline/shadow layer (not a thin/fiddly border).
Do you create dimension with layers or use foam tape or use flat letters?
I prefer flat layouts but occasionally use an additional layer(s) of (hidden) cardstock to add dimension to titles, photos, etc.

I sometimes use the Thickers look. I’d like to try one where I’d cut out each letter in 2 colors for a shadowing effect.
