Baby Steps Hybrid Scrapbook Page

 To go with the gift I shared the other day I started out by making an oversized card but in the end it become this cute 6x6 scrapbook page.  I made the elephants again by using the set Baby Steps in My Digital Studio so I could get them the right size and colors.  I then printed them out and added clear embossing powder over them to keep them from fading. I then cut them out and layered them on a piece of whisper white cardstock.  Then I went about creating the page by adding in different green colored cardstock, ribbon, and buttons.  Love how it came out and my friend ended up framing it for the baby's room.  Happy Stamping!!

My Digital Studio - Happy Camper

I made this card for a hybrid swap I did back at convention 2011. I used the My Digital Studio stamp set Happy Camper. Every party of this card except for the base, cord and the pumpkin pie sponging I did on the main image was done using elements of My Digital Studio. I also added a touch of iridescent ice to make the flame sparkle. I just love this card!! I seem to do much better with Hybrid cards than I do with digital scrapbooking!

If you are hoping in order you just came from Mickey's site Paper Conversation where she showed off some super cool ideas using the set Language of Friendship ... I'm not a big bird fan but boy were those cute!!

Today I will be sharing some projects I made using the One Big Sale-A-Bration My Digital Studio Cd. I had a lot of fun playing with this set and using all the different things available on this Cd!!

This card is almost all made using only my MDS but I did make into a hybrid card ... I have this thing where I just need dimension!! I created the top layer in MDS by using the set Sprinkled Expressions using the stars and smile saying, then some of the accessories from the Everyday Enchantment pack, (the brad and ribbon). I then printed it out and layered it with some basic black cardstock as well lucky limeade and daffodil delight. Of course it needed a bit of sparkle so I added iridescent ice to all the stars which made them a little darker. The finished card measures 5 x 5 1/2.

Another hybrid card!! For this card I used the set Fresh Vintage and created the image in several shapes and colors .... I love calypso coral with neutral tones!! I printed that out and layered it with basic black cardstock then attached it to a calypso coral base. I added some ruffled ribbon and stamped my saying which I punched and layered using my circle punches. Easy Peasy!! This finished card is the standard size.

This is the last hybrid card I created and I wanted to recreate the door showing off the Home Sweet Home decor element stamp. Of course a door is not complete without those packages that Mr. Brown drops off for us!! I used the set Workshop Words to make the one big box and just some soft suede to make the smaller boxes. This card measures 4 1/4 x 3.

My last project I made a 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page. This one was pretty easy just used several "sheets" of Everyday Enchantment DSP and added a few Everyday Enchantment accessories. Popped in a few pictures and bam it's done!!

My Digital Studio - Strength and Hope

The other day ok maybe it was a few weeks ago I shared a card using the Strength and Hope stamp set, and today I am going to share my first hybrid card I made using the digital download version of this set.
I have been a bit intimidated by the whole digital process and had only used my MDS for inside of cards or flyers o I finally bit the bullet to make this card and let me tell you I love it!! The card and the program ... there is a bit of a learning curve which I hope to have figured out soon especially the printing. The base of the card and tag was done with the MDS program. I did stamp the butterfly traditionally and I added the crumb cake and rose red strips with regular cardstock as well as the accessories.

Stampin' Up! will also donate $2 towards Breast Cancer Research Foundation if you purchase the download just remember it's not available to purchase until May 1st. Happy Stamping!!
