Candy Gel Alphabet

About this freebie

The Candy Gel Alphabet gives you glossy gel letters in bright candy colors. This digital alphabet includes 68 separate transparent PNG files. You get uppercase letters from A to Z, lowercase letters from a to z, numbers 0 to 9, plus a few punctuation marks. The palette features white, cherry, teal, sunshine, grape, and ink. These letters are 600 to 900 pixels tall, which prints at 2 to 3 inches at 300 dpi. They are perfect for birthday and summer pages.

Ideas for using it

1. Spell out a big title for a pool party layout. The glossy gel effect looks just like water drops or shiny plastic beach toys.
2. Create a bright greeting card for a child. You can mix the cherry, teal, sunshine, and grape letters to make a fun and colorful message.
3. Design a sweet layout for a candy shop visit. The shiny letters match the look of hard candies and lollipops perfectly.

How to use it

• Drag each PNG file onto your page to spell your word. You can learn more about how to use digital alphabets in our tutorial section.
• Overlap the letters slightly to make your words look natural. The transparent backgrounds allow the colors to interact nicely without blocking the letters behind them.
• Add a small drop shadow to each letter. This makes the glossy gel effect stand out even more against a flat paper background.
• The download is a ZIP file of about 3.3 MB. Extract the folder to your computer before trying to open the individual PNG images.
• Each character is its own transparent PNG file. Place letters on separate layers and line them up on one baseline.
• Resize all letters of a word by the same amount so they stay consistent.
