Stickers can be fun, quick, and easy embellishments. There may be just as many ways to scrapbook with stickers as there are stickers available. It is amazing the new and wonderful variety. There are embossed, metallic, and alphabets stickers in all sizes. Not to mention a sticker for almost any season, activity or theme you can imagine.

Keep in mind, if you don’t like the often bright or glossy appearance of stickers, you can tone them down and give them an aged look. Just use a little sandpaper! Here are a couple of ideas for your stickers:

Sticker Borders An obvious way to use stickers as page borders! There are dozens of sticker borders in dozens of themes just ready to be applied to a page. In fact, many paper companies also sell coordinating stickers to serve as borders and page accents.

Sticker Tags With pre-made tags available in so many shapes and sizes, it’s not hard to find tags to fit the stickers you want to use on a page. Just apply stickers directly to tags to make quick, cute page embellishments! Or, to make a tag for a layout, apply two stickers to white cardstock. I then cut the cardstock in a rectangle around the stickers and cut the upper two corners of the cardstock rectangle to create my custom sized tag.

Sticker Titles There are lots of fun ways to use letter stickers as page titles. A huge variety of colors, sizes, and styles of alphabet stickers are available. There are also wonderful stickers that are basically pre-made titles.

Letter stickers can be used to make great letter “tiles.” Stick the letters onto cardstock, leaving plenty of room around each letter. Use a square or round punch in the desired size to punch around each letter. (Hold the punch upside-down so you can see the letter sticker through the punch opening.) Add variety to the “tiles” by carefully using a pen to outline the cardstock edges.

Sticker Shaker Box You can put all sorts of things into shaker boxes, even stickers! Mount the stickers to paper that matched the background patterned paper of the shaker box so you can cut loosely around the edges of the stickers and any paper showing under the clear edges of the stickers will blend into the background.
