DaveUK Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Gang! I've gotten into making cards digitally and I often see this "hybrid" term around the forum and in magazines etc. and I'm confused by its meaning. Am I correct in thinking that the cards are designed and printed like digital Scrapbook pages.. Or.. Are they printed as a "background" to which printed and other embellishments are added? I would be grateful as ever if someone could enlighten me. Thanks D ps Apologies for typo in title. Brain going faster than fingers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Your answer is yes, lol! Hybrid means using digital supplies with paper supplies. So creating a digital card, printing it out and attaching to paper is hybrid in the most basic sense. I have created hybrid cards with digital backgrounds, paper background with digital embellishments (printed and cut out), or even digital backgrounds, digital embellishments and word art all printed separately and pieced together. A word of warning....they are addicting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindarobin Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi, Dave, Hybrid combines traditional paper card-making with digital. Similarly, I occasionally do hybrid scrapbooking. I'll print my digital page, then add a real silk flower. Some of my friends who only do traditional paper scrapbooking, will sometimes ask me to blend a photo into a background. We get that printed and they use it to complete their layout. That's hybrid, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveUK Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wow - thanks for the concise and fast replies. Bit late in the day here now, but I'm off to give it a try over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
