Turn your title into design! In this Bright Idea, a short bold phrase is stacked, rotated, and transformed into a stylish border that looks more like a pattern than words. Perfect for adding subtle texture or a striking backdrop to your page.
This splashy layout uses a quick border technique that’s as fun to make as it is to look at! Create bold movement across your page with a border of isosceles triangles - each one rotated at a different angle for playful energy. Add strokes to define the edges and mix in patterned papers and photos for variety. It’s a fast way to frame your story with color, texture, and personality.
