Hello friends it's Allison I hope you are having a super happy day so far
today is exciting because I am sharing some insta story tips and tricks I get a
whole bunch of questions of what I use to make my insta stories and I feel like
the stories are such a fun way to share your story and just get creative and
document your life so I'm super excited to share these tips since into story was
released they have added so many new features and there's so many apps
outside of Instagram but you can use to really curate and create these beautiful
stories so today I am sharing all my tips with you and I really hope you
enjoy first things first I just wanted to show you my Instagram just so you can
get a feel of my style and the kind of insta stories I create I have a ton of
highlights so you can check them out and just see some inspiration there and see
if these tips are kind of aligned with what you're looking for so the three
apps that I mainly use is unfold story luxe and Lightroom all of these apps are
free and available in the App Store so I'm gonna start by showing you unfold
this is the one that I've had for the longest besides Lightroom Lightroom is
more of editing but this one is actually created for instace stories just so you
can add different elements and just use your creativity on unfold there are
options to purchase certain templates but I actually just use all the free
ones and they still have a ton of options so I'm showing you this cool
layered one which I love you can either use the same photo for it or you could
add a different background image and I feel like it just looks so neat and just
adds a whole different look to just a plain old image another awesome feature
is that you can put videos in your insta stories along with photos so if you
wanted to share a photo but also a video they have that option which i think is
so cool
the next one is story lux and this one is a recent download for me but I have
been loving it there's so many cute templates that are just kind of like
look like little Polaroids and have just really cute designs and this is the same
kind of thing as unfold they have a lot of free templates but then they also
have templates where you can purchase
I think you can see there are just a ton of options so it's super fine just to
play around and see what you like best so I liked this little Polaroid desk
kind of template and I added two photos from my time at Disney's Festival of the
Arts and another trick I want to show you is a rainbow text so I've shared
this on a channel before but I wanted to share it again because I think it is
such a neat trick so one thing I like to do is add this rainbow text so you're
gonna select your text and then hover over the little color picker and then
slowly move the little toggle to get all of the colors so I'm going to show you
again in a second because another thing I like to do is add spaces in between
each letter in my word to kind of just add a little more tracking and I feel
like it just adds a more stylistic design to the text but when I clicked on
the text again it actually deleted the rainbow effect so I'm gonna have to show
you so again you just select all then you hold your finger on the toggle and
then put your other thumb on the color picker and then slowly drag it and it
might take you a few practice rounds but you'll get the hang of it so naturally I
think that looks super magical and then I'm just gonna play with the text some
more and I'm gonna use this fun little cursive font and then another trick is
to match the color with something on your image so you just press the little
pen tool and the left of your color font choices and then you can match it to the
pink or whatever you have and then another thing I also love to do is add
these little gifts and the twinkles are always my favorite if you just type
twinkle in the little gift element of insta story there's so many cute little
twinkles that you can add just for some extra Flair and voila next I want to
just take you through Lightroom and show you how editing plays a big part in my
insta story so really you just want to start with a solid image that has really
great colors and all that so here's an image I took at magic
and right now it's it's cute but I definitely want to brighten it up a lot
so I'm using my Lightroom mobile presets and I'm using the one Dreamland to
really just brighten this up and if you want to know more about my Lightroom
presets you can take a look at magic dwells here on Instagram or I will leave
the link in my bio to shop them and just learn more about these presets and what
they have to offer next once I have my image all edited nicely how I want it
I'm just going to add some text for this one I'm going to say live your dream
because I feel like that's super fitting and I'm gonna pair the little cursive
font with the bold italic font which is super great to layer so that's another
trick I love to do is layering the fonts so if you just copy and paste your word
you'll have two different words of the same text and then you can just add two
different colors and it really adds this kind of 3d layered text effect that I
just absolutely love
next we're going to go back in Lightroom and I'm just going to show you another
example so I'm taking this picture of my vow book from my wedding and I'm adding
one of my Lightroom mobile presets just to brighten everything up and warm it up
a little bit to take it to the next level and then I'm just going to add
that into insta story and add some pretty text and once again another
stylistic thing I love to do is just if you have if you have text like this
where you just can't really read it that well you can take the little highlighter
pen and match it with the background color and then just add a nice little
bit behind your text and it'll help it be a whole lot more legible and then I
also love to add this sweet little delicate heart just upon my text and
then you can erase the part that is under the text so it just doesn't
interfere with your words and then another cool feature in Satori is adding
music so for this one I thought perfect by Ed Sheeran would be very fitting and
what you can do with this is you can tap it and make it more transparent and then
if you just pinch the music it'll make it almost invisible so that's a really
cool trick and I think those are all of my tips I really hope you all enjoyed
