SodScrap Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Here is my first hybrid card: Thank You Here are the basic instructions: This hybrid card was super simple. 1. I printed the project life card from Amanda's Gratitude Mini Kit. I chose it because it had the sentiment I was looking for and it was already "pre-decorated". I used adhesive to stick that to my ready made (store bought) card.2. I used Picasa to search for "purple flower"-I knew I wanted a simple purple flower. Found it and then used it in my Silhouette Cameo and created a print and cut. Printed. Cut. (the flower would have been easy to cut out by hand, and probably even faster...lol)3. I sprayed the flowers with "Glimmer Mist" for a little glitter and shine4. Used a rhinestone brad for the middle of the flower5. Put the flowers on with pop dots to give it added dimension. Done!!

SodScrap Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Card two: I Love You Again...simple! 1. I designed the card in Photo shop2. I resized the papers I chose for the layers3. Started a new blank 8.5 x 11 document and drug the papers/elements over to print (it took to pieces of card stock)4. After they were printed, I used my paper cutter to cut the elements, and scissors to cut the bottom of the word art to give it the "torn" edge5. Use the Silhouette to print and cut the butterflies.6. I used the jelly roll pen to add glitter highlights to the butterflies7. Assembled the card. I used pop dots for dimension for the butterflies8. Again, I used a ready made card as my base.

teecee Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Here's my hybrid birthday card. Instructions: 1. I started by opening template number 3 from Mandy Steward’s ScrapSimple Card Templates: 5.5x4.25 Curvy, duplicating it, and closing the original. 2. I recolored and resized the papers I wanted to use from Elisha Barnett’s First Blush Collection Biggie and clipped them to the various sections of the template. 3. I also added the black brads from Elisha’s First Blush Collection. 4. Next, I added black stroke outlines to each section of the template. 5. I typed “Happy Birthday” in the center of the small black square with Sanvito Pro font. 6. On a separate page, I made a second copy of the “Happy Birthday” square. 7. I printed the card and second “Happy Birthday” square, cut them out with my paper trimmer, and scored and folded the card. 8. Then I used a pop dot to adhere the second “Happy Birthday” to the card to give it some added dimension. 9. I finished by adhering a store bought paper flower to the card. Easy Peasy!
