Add paper scraps to your designs: torn sheets, pinned notepads and kraft tags on a transparent background that carry your text like handwriting.
Start designingWhy put your words on a scrap of paper?
Because paper gives text a personal voice. A line on a torn scrap reads as a note somebody wrote, not as an advert, which is why scraps suit quotes, reflections and to do lists better than a plain coloured box.
What can you design?
Quotes and reflections on lined paper
Notes pinned with a tack or paper clip
Kraft tags for product names and prices

To do lists and weekly planners
How do you make a paper scrap look real?
Write on it in a handwritten face rather than a typeface, tilt it two or three degrees off straight, and keep its soft shadow visible over the background. A perfectly flat scrap with no shadow reads as a geometric shape and loses the effect it was there for.
