Digital Scrapper Quick Tip, Type Tool
Type Layer VS Text Box by Jenifer Juris

Understand the difference between a simple type layer and a containing text box, and learn where each is most helpful.

Simple Type Layer

  • Use a simple type layer for titles and dates.
  • To create a simple type layer, get the Horizontal Type tool, click once on the document, type a word or phrase, and click the checkmark to commit the change.

Containing Text Box

  • Use a containing text box for journaling.
  • To create a containing text box, get the Horizontal Type tool, click and drag a small selection on the document, type a paragraph of journaling, and click the checkmark to commit the change.
  • The text box can be transformed while typing by clicking and dragging on the bounding box handles.
