How to Make Word Art - Digital Scrapbooking Tutorial
Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, and if you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed and get daily updates delivered to you. If you're not sure what the RSS thing is, then check out this 'RSS made easy' post. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing more of you.
Since I started the Scraps of Mind Weekly Word Art Newsletter I’ve had a number of people ask me how I make my Word Art.
So I’ve put together this video tutorial for you so you can have a go at making your own. Word Art is a lot of fun to make and can be as complicated or as simple as you choose your design to be.
I hope that you enjoy the video tutorial and try making your own. And please don’t let that prevent you from signing up to the Word Art Newsletter and getting 3 pieces of original Word Art Design delivered to your inbox each week. You can build a great Word Art Collection and you’ll never be lost for a Scrapbook Layout title, journaling accent or a message in a greeting card.
I recommend that rather than viewing the YouTube version, if you have a reasonably good Internet connection, you click on the High Resolution version which is much easier to watch than the YouTube one.
Click here to watch the High Resolution Version of this Tutorial.
If you like this tutorial, please give it a Stumble and maybe click over to YouTube and give it a rating.
And don’t forget to sign up to the Newsletter if you haven’t already done so.

Hi Karen,
I watched the video twice. The first time to get the idea and the second time as hands on.
However, I couldn’t find the fonts that you use in my Photoshop.
Anyway, I have to admit that I have learned so much thing from your tutorial. Thank you so much.

Great tutorial Karooch. Maybe one of the days, I’ll give it a hand myself, LOL. Or maybe I’ll just wait for yours.

You tutorial is very useful. I don’t scrap book but I do use bits and pieces of Word Art in making promotional posters in my day job to promote energy awareness. A little color and some eye catching headline art helps folks to notice and read them.
Now I know where to get ideas and help.

Glad you likes the tutorial folks. It was fun to make.
I’m happy to hear that I haven’t put myself out of business (in the Word Art department) with it Tink.

Just a heads up–got the tutorial but not on YouTube. Said it was not longer visible. Great job–what a project on top of the project!

EEEK! I don’t know what happened there Diana but I’ve fixed it now.
Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks so much for the tutorial, it should be a great help to start doing some word art and try new things.
Best wishes. :O)

Let me know if you post any Word Art on your blog Olga.

Karooch! I LOVED your tutorial! I’m going to start playing with my program and make a few of my own Word Art things.
By Katy on Jan 30, 2008
Great news Katy. I’d love to hear how you go with your adventures in Word Art.

awww.
Video is no longer available. I would have loved to have watched this and learned.
By KarenD on Apr 2, 2008
Not sure what you mean Karen. The video is still available and it’s visible in the post above.
YouTube seems to have been having some problems over the last few days. And I have noticed that some videos are not appearing in my Firefox Browser. Have you tried viewing it in IE? Or try clicking on the High Res version.

I tried the video again and it came right up. What a cool video! I use paint shop but can see where it is a lot alike. You do beautiful word art. Maybe after watching your video, I might just give it a try. LOL Thank you much!
By KarenD on Apr 2, 2008
Thank you Karen. I’m flattered that I might have provided some inspiration for you to try this yourself. Glad to hear the video worked OK for you.
By karooch on Apr 2, 2008
Tried to watch your video tonight, but it was no longer available .
By sherry on Apr 25, 2008
I don’t know what’s going on Sherry because the YouTube details haven’t changed and I certainly haven’t altered the access. It seems to be working both on YouTube and on Scraps of Mind now. But if you still have trouble I recommend you click on the link to the High Resolution Version just under the YouTube video on this post. It’s a better viewing experience anyway.
By karooch on Apr 25, 2008

By Linda on Jun 5, 2008
Yay!! You go for it Linda.

Great tutorial! I learned a lot. Thanks so much!
By Bobette Bryan on Jul 13, 2008
Just tried to watch both the UTube version and the HD version - both said it was no longer available. Anywhere else I can watch it? thanks.
By Arlene Anderson on Aug 12, 2008
Thanks for the new link Karen - very informative tutorial. I’m going to give it a try in PSE6 - love that program.
Thanks again.
By Arlene Anderson on Aug 13, 2008
Thank you sooo much for your tutorial; I finally know now how to make my own word art for my digital scrap booking.
Just 1 more question: how do you make a word art with words in a complete circle ?
Lots of greetings from Belgium

I use the Warp Text function in the Type tool Marian.
