1. Major Renovations Complete at Lettering Delights

Spring is one of the most popular times to start major home renovations. We’ve jumped the gun a little bit—major renovations at LetteringDelights.com are now complete!

LetteringDelights.com has a whole new look with new features that make finding what you are looking for even easier. You’ll see more product images from search result screens. You can navigate quickly from one category of products to another. Small icon symbols make it easy to tell the difference between alphabets, fonts and other products. And there’s the new “drag & drop” system to easily place items in your shopping cart. I could go on and on, but the only way to truly see everything is to experience it yourself. See our new look at www.creativedelights.com/letteringdelights.

We’re celebrating the birth of the new Lettering Delights, part of a growing family of Creative Delights sites, with a free Card Delights birthday card. The exclusive new Geometric Birthday Card is available for free download at http://www.creativedelights.com/downloads/?dlid=1001. Now is your chance to try a card for free and find out how easy it is to print a customized card and add a few quick accents. We’re making it a breeze for you to create “almost” handmade cards in minutes, with new designs available regularly (five more released today!).

But wait, there’s even more big news: LD Essentials, our fabulous new line of alphabets in classic styles and an exciting selection of easy-to-coordinate colors. Buy one Essentials alphabet for $3, get additional colors for only $1 each. And if you mail birthday and holiday packages to friends and family, you’ll want to check out this month’s Creative Corner idea, which makes simple packages a little more fun on the outside.

At Lettering Delights, we’re bringing creative lettering to life!

2. Creative Corner: Ideas for Fun Mailing Labels

I have many family members and friends who live in different parts of the country, which means that I send lots of packages. Using Journaling Delights, it’s easy to create fun and festive mailing labels.

 


Products used:
Wedding label: Victorian Clip Art image with Scrap Simple
Baby label: JD Boy Rattle with CK Going Places
Birthday label: JD Candles with LD Childish

  1. Open the Lettering Delights browser and go to Journaling Delights. From the Category drop-down box in the upper right corner, select either Journaling Delights or Jillustration. Browse the Sub Categories to find a JD Image Set that you like.
  2. Select the image you will use for the label, and select Add Text. Choose a font and type the name and address of the package recipient in the text box. Use the sliding alignment tools to adjust the size and placement of the text box inside the Journaling Delights image. Click “Add” to place the image on the clipboard.
  3. Move to the layout page, and click the image in the “Image” box to place it on the page. Select the image, and click “Size Image.” Enter the desired dimensions of your label. (Check the “Constrained” box for the width or height so the image resizes proportionally.)
  4. Print the layout page on cardstock, trim the excess paper and adhere the label to your package. For easy attachment, print the label on sticky-back paper.

Computers are used to read addresses and sort most packages, so there are a couple of tips that will ensure successful and timely delivery. Labels that cannot be read by the computer are set aside to be sorted by hand, which can cause delivery to take an extra day or two.

3. New LD Essentials Collection

How many times have you struggled to find the right alphabet, in just the right color? It can be a challenge for me, which is why I’m so excited about the new Lettering Delights Essentials collection.

LD Essentials combines classic, timeless alphabet styles with a palette of specially selected colors, so matching letters and paper color will no longer be a daunting task. Coordinated layouts, cards and other projects will be a breeze with LD Essentials.

Finding the perfect match for your project is simple. Search LD Essentials by alphabet style OR color palette. Select an alphabet and test drive the design in each available color, or search by palette and see the alphabets available in a particular color.

See the ten new LD Essentials alphabet designs: EA Circle Tags, EA Classic, EA Denim, EA Disks, EA Fancy, EA Flowers, EA Frames, EA Retro, EA Rusty and EA Tickets. Each LD Essentials Alphabet is available in up to 10 colors.

LD Essentials alphabets are just $3 for the first color; additional colors of the same design are only $1 each (within the same order). Order complete palettes for the most flexibility and the best value.

4. Zooper Dooper 2 Bundle from Jillustration

Sometimes the sequel isn’t as good as the original, but I think you’ll agree that’s just not true in this case! With three new animal designs, Zooper Dooper 2 by Jillustration is the perfect follow-up to the original. Alphabets and Journaling Delights in each new design, Tigerific, Gators and Bear Necessities, can be used individually or with each other for a truly wild layout. Of course, no Jillustration bundle is complete without a creative journaling font, and LDJ Zoodle Doodle is the perfect compliment for Zooper Dooper 2.

Order Zooper Dooper 2 for just $15. Save $6 with this bundle.
