Quote Spread Idea #1: Just Write

Quote Spread Idea #1: Just Write

The simplest yet most personal method is to write quotes by hand. Your unique handwriting adds character and emotional connection to the words. Try different styles – use cursive for romantic quotes, block letters for bold statements, or experiment with brush lettering for artistic flair. You can frame your handwritten quotes with simple doodles, highlight them with colourful borders, or dedicate entire pages to a single powerful quote that speaks to you.

Quote Spread Idea #2: Cut & Paste

Quote Spread Idea #2: Cut & Paste

Channel your inner collage artist by cutting out words and phrases from various printed materials. This ransom note-style approach creates a visually striking, textured look that adds dimension to your journal. Mix different fonts, sizes, and colours for an eclectic feel, or maintain a cohesive colour scheme for a more polished appearance. This method also gives new life to old magazines and printed materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Quote Spread Idea #3: Use a Printer

Quote Spread Idea #3: Use a Printer

For a clean, consistent look, printing quotes allows you to experiment with countless fonts and layouts without worrying about handwriting. Thermal printers offer the convenience of small, adhesive quote strips that can be placed anywhere in your journal. Alternatively, use a regular printer to create quote cards on specialty papers, vellum overlays, or even fabric or transparent stickers. Try printing quotes on patterned paper or adding digital embellishments before printing.

Quote Spread Idea #4: Stamping Fun

Quote Spread Idea #4: Stamping Fun

Alphabet stamps provide a charming, slightly imperfect vintage feel to your quotes. This tactile method allows you to create uniform lettering with a handcrafted touch. Experiment with different ink colours, or try embossing for an elegant raised effect. You can create beautiful quote borders, headers, or even stamp directly onto photos or painted backgrounds. The methodical process of stamping each letter can also be wonderfully meditative.

Quote Spread Idea #5: Stick ‘Em

Alphabet stickers offer a quick, neat way to feature quotes with minimal effort and maximum impact. Available in countless styles, colours, and textures – from puffy foam to sleek metallic finishes – they allow you to instantly elevate your journal pages. Create dynamic quotes by mixing different sticker styles or sizes within one quote, or arrange letter stickers in interesting patterns like circles or waves. For a cohesive look, choose stickers that complement your journal’s overall aesthetic.
