Sketch Puzzle for July 11, 2010

by CCAS
July 11th, 2010

We hope you had a wonderful day off last week and are excited to bring you this week’s sketch puzzle. I love the colors in this one. Let me tell you a little about the sketch.

This sketch features 2 non standard sized images or photos, matted together on an solid background. You could even crop them to a smaller size and add an area for some additional journalling if desired. The solid background could also be exchanged for a pattern or even adorned with some additional embellishment like lace or ribbon. After the images are matted, the single piece is them mounted onto a framed page with a large print banner going from the top of the page to the bottom of the page. I chose to depict the banner with a bold and bright floral design. I picked a color from the floral design to mimic and use as an accent color for the title. And the title is a font called “Brandy”.

Enjoy the puzzle!

Coffee and Curry Shop Font

by KayCee
July 9th, 2010

Today’s font is:The Coffee and Curry Shop font is another font that I think would work very well as text as well as a title. It is relatively clean and rather easy to read. It is plain and simple, yet still has a bit of flair to set it apart from a completely embellishment free styled font like Ariel.

The Coffee & Curry Shop Font was created by Goma Shin from Japan. The Coffee & Curry Font is a free download that can be accessed by visiting Gomarice Font.

In order to add new fonts, you will have to download it to your computer. Once downloaded, you will then have to install. If this is your first time downloading a font or if you would like additional information to help remind you of the process, we have just the article for you at How to Download Fonts.

Sixty Seven Font

by KayCee
June 25th, 2010

Last week during a conversation with a friend of mine about fonts (yes, I actually have conversations about fonts – I must truly lead a strange, but normal for me, life) she mentioned that she did not care for the teacher font “at all”. I was surprized and asked her why? Her comment was that it would very difficult to read if she used it in a card. I was so grateful that she shared that with me because I had not thought about the MANY uses for fonts. I was stuck in the mindset of scrapbooking and using a font for a title. I don’t know how that happened, but it did. You see, my friend hand makes cards for JillCards LLC. So whe she looks for a font, she is looking for something that can be used as text for her handmade cards.

So, this week I am featuring a new font that I think would make both a great scrapbooking title but would also work well as text in a handmade card.

This weeks font is:

The Sixty Seven Font was created by Dave Bastain and originally released in 1999. Sixty Seven Font was recently featured as a new font on the font freak website on June 22, 2010. If you think that the sixty seven font is really cool please visit Steve’s site and download the Sixty Seven font for free. As always, when visiting his (or any site that you appreciate) please leave a comment stating what you liked and how you found out about his awesome font. Feel free to link back to this article so Steve can see how we have featured his work!

Please Show Me Love Font

by KayCee
June 18th, 2010

Would you like to be able to download our featured fonts right from the CCAS site?

Creative Crafts and Stickers is considering implementing our own font download area. We would like to offer free font downloads right here on CCAS but only if we have enough interest. I know that the free font feature is one of our regular’s favorite areas. We would continue to feature a font each week and in addition, you would be able to download it right from from our site.

Please email us let us know what you think of the idea.

Today’s featured font is:

When I first saw this font, I was half tempted to place each letter in a different color. I tend to go with the fonts that show more definition. The ones that have creativity within themselves. This particular font, reminds me of the type of doodling that I used to do on my high school notebooks. Inevitably, I would go back through with different colors to fill in the solid areas. I would often fill in the lined areas making stripes or even different patterns.

Please Show Me Love font is another free font offered by Andrew2.  This font features what appears to be hand drawn letters with doodling in the letters. Some letters have stripes, some include scribbles some are solid and some are outlined. The complete set includes only lowercase letters.  You may download Please Show Me Love font in TrueType font, as well as OpenType font formatted files for your installation.

Teacher Font

by CCAS
June 11th, 2010

Today’s Font is:

We found the Teacher Font when it was a featured free font on the home page of the Urban Fonts website. What appealed to us with this font was the thick bold lettering, the modern flare and the rounded edges. We think that the possible applications for this font within any scrapbook page or craft are positively endless. And we know when you add your creativity to the project you will very likely think of things that we did not.

The Teacher font download files includes capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation symbols. As usual, the font download is free just by visiting Urban Fonts Teacher Font download.

We would LOVE for you to send us your photo, an article or even a tutorial about how you used the Teacher font. Not only will you qualify for an entry into our sponsored monthly drawing, your submission will be featured on our site. You can submit your image, article or tutorial by clicking on Get Featured in the menu bar and completing the short form.

Creative Crafts and Stickers (CCAS) also has information regarding downloading and installing fonts in our  How To Download Fonts article if this is something you are new to or if you just want a little extra help to remember all of the steps.

Whitehall Font

by KayCee
May 21st, 2010

Today’s featured font is:

whitehall-font

I was busy creating a header image for a friend’s website when I cam across this font. I thought that is was really cute and would be a great scrapbooking font because of the “i” that is not dotted. By the “i” not being dotted it simply screams to be completed with use of a scrapbooking embellishment as the dot. I immediately thought of stickers, buttons, brads or flowers. You could come up with and some of you own ideas using your own unique creativity. Dotting the “i”with an embellishment is sure to make an interesting accent.

Whitehall font is part of the Ultimate Font Download. Ultimate Font Download offers thousands and thousands (over 10,000) of unique fonts all available for immediate download and compatible on both Windows and Macintosh computers. If you would like to preview some of your own text using the Whitehall font, you can head over to 1001 Free Fonts. They have a pretty neat set up where you type in some words and it types it out using the demo. And if you are not interested in downloading over 10,000 fonts at Ultimate Font Download, over at 1001 Free Fonts  you can choose to download Whitehall font as an individual font.

You may also visit How To Download Fonts in our Resources area for additional information regarding downloading and installing fonts.

We think that this font is a valuable addition to any scrapbookers font collection and encourage you to use it too. And don’t forget, when you use it, be sure to email us with a sample of it’s use in one of your projects and get entered into our monthly drawing. We could even feature your entry in an upcoming post.

You can also let us know what you think of this font in the comments area too. We love it when you interact with us.
