Trend Spotting: Typography

February 3, 2015 by Martha Bonneau

This post is brought to you by Martha Bonneau from MugsyBoo.


If you love clean, classic deign, you have probably already noticed that the typography trends has made it’s way to the paper crafting world.  If you aren’t yet familiar with what typography is, it can simply be defined as “the art or procedure of arranging type”.  Maybe you have seen posters or card with various fonts mixed together….well that’s typography!  It can also be the use of 1 or 2 symbols or letters/numbers on a project. Think bold and graphic and black & white.  The following is a round up of some of my favorite typography inspired paper crafting projects.  From hand lettering tutorials to cards, scrapbooking,  and home décor ideas, you are sure to find a project that is just your “type”!

This hand lettering tutorial breaks down what seems like a lengthy, difficult technique into just a few easy to follow steps…I cannot wait to try this one myself.

 

Watercolor Typography

Faux Brush Script

One of the more popular trends in scrapbooking has been brush script.  Brush script lettering can be found on stamps, patterned paper, and embellishments.  This tutorial shows you how to use embossing powder to achieve the brush script look on journaling cards.

Washi Tape Script Cards

This project had me at washi tape!  I love washi and am always looking for new ideas on how to incorporate it into projects.  Creating script words with washi has a lovely yet still graphic effect that could be used on so many different paper crafting projects.

I live with my husband, 7 and 4 year old daughters, and a pug named Pixie in Crystal Lake, Illinois which is in the ‘burbs NW of Chicago.
I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
