Hi everyone!! Welcome to the café! Come on in, have a cup of coffee and let’s talk hybrid!
It’s a lot of fun looking through submissions that come into the magazine to discover what’s hot in hybrid.
Today, we’re talking about creating shapes. Large, small, hidden, or right there in your face… shapes are obviously important to any layout. We’ll now find out how easy it is to create your own. Let’s take a look at how these three bright designers created shapes using digital elements.
The techniques highlighted in this feature are creating stars and strips (yes, strips, not stripes!) out of digital paper, printing onto transparencies, and dimensional adhesion.
Heather takes customizing shapes to the next level: she created and printed her own flowers and flourishes, and then she printed them on transparencies to get just the right look. Janice shows us a layout with a few digital techniques incorporated; besides creating stars from digital paper to embellish her layout, she also printed her photo onto fabric to create the feel she desired. Di, our beloved Crossroads alum, shows us how to use a digital paper in pieces, layering them for dimension.
Now you’ve seen a few great ways to create shapes for your next layout… what will you hybrid next?

Design
note: My mom
wished for grandkids for years! Her wish
finally came true. The main picture of them
was a bit blurry (found out later my camera
lens was dirty), and terribly backlit. It
would have looked horrible on traditional
photo paper. Printing it on fabric gave it a
look of softness instead. I painted the
fabric outside the frame with iridescent
paint. The stars were from Angie’s kit, printed out at the size I wanted, then inked, layered and adhered to the tag.

note: I composed the card in Photoshop using the digital elements, then arranged the hearts to print separately so I could cut them out and layer them with dimensional adhesive. The stamp added the perfect sentiment.
