Hybrid Hub: Card No. 23 – Merry Christmas

Published by Sula H.

It’s that time of the year again. My favorite season! And in honor of the season, today’s hybrid post – of course – has to be a Christmas themed one. This one is the latest card I created with Julie Billingsley’s “A Frosty Christmas.” The holly leaves on the label I found among my Photoshop Custom Shapes, and for the sentiment, I simply used one of the fonts on my computer. Here you can take a closer look at this card:

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 22 – Thanks

Published by Sula H.

I’m in trouble. It’s late where I am, I’m tired, I should be going to bed, but I can’t. Because I seriously stuffed myself. And even hours after the event, I’m still way too full to put myself to sleep like this! With the Thanksgiving dinner being the best meal of the year and all, of course you’ve got to seize the opportunity. And with all the various dishes of stuffing (they come on the side here, not in the turkey), of course I feel stuffed. But anyways. That’s just a side note. I should talk about my current card. Of course, it being Thanksgiving and all, it had to be another thank-you card, and I made this one with an older Jenn Barrette contribution to one of the SSD Quarterly Assortments last year. I “stamped” the sentiment with one of the stamp alphas by Heather Roselli, and easy-peasy there’s another card ready to go and find its recipient! On that note, happy thanksgiving y’all!

Enable Me: Card Positioning Systems

The holidays are around the corner, and for many of us this means mailing out season’s greetings. What better reason do we need to get our crafty mojo going, and create our own Christmas cards? (Or any kind of card for that matter?) Today, therefore, I’d like to introduce you to a website that has become a great inspiration for my own card making in the last few months: Card Positioning Systems. The website runs like a blog, and on a frequent basis, sketches for greeting cards are released along with a full load of handcrafted cards that were created based on the sketches. What better inspiration do you need to kick your card-making up a notch? And don’t worry, this is not a Christmas site. They publish new sketches all year around, and their sketches are general enough to use for non-holiday-themed greeting cards as well. Here are some more samples from their recent posts …   Got inspired? Then why don’t you hop over to CSP to browse their posts a little more? …

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 20

It’s fall y’all – just in case I haven’t mentioned that enough these days! And, because it’s fall, of course, I’m gonna show you a fall-type card today. I made this one with Melissa Bennett’s “Autumn Memories” kit, and “stamped” the sentiment with Darcy Baldwin’s “My Stamp Pad Alpha.” And like most of my cards, it simply says “thank you.”   And now, on to some great news … ta da: Featured Layout The “Featured Layout” is back, just in case you haven’t noticed that either (though some of you have, which means you don’t really need to read the rest of this post, except for what’s going on at the bottom!). This morning, while in the shower, some genius struck me, and I decided to revive my “Featured Layout” page again. I hadn’t posted any of my layouts there in a long time, because I didn’t want to flood the Digi-Scrap Corner with all my layouts, making you feel bored out of your minds, or run away from this site, screaming with annoyance. But …

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 19

I’ve mentioned it before, I’m no fan of Halloween. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like halloween colors. On the contrary. Today I want to show off a birthday card I made last year that features the typical halloween colors of orange, gray, and black. I created this card with a limited edition kit by the Sweetshoppe designers, added a ribbon and some accents, and there was a card to brighten up someone’s birthday!

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 17

Let’s take a look at another thank-you card that I created a while back. This one was put together with a mini kit by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, which was part of a Quarterly Assortment last year, and still available at SSD. I also used Darcy Baldwin’s Stamp Pad Alpha for this. It comes with a pretty simple design, but adding the right kind of papers, it’ll make anyone happy to receive this little handcrafted token of gratitude.

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 16

October is the perfect month for flying kites – at least in Germany, where I grew up. So, it’s the perfect timing to share with you this happy thank-you-card – one of my all-time favorites that I created last year. I used Misty Cato’s “Blue Skies Smiling,” a beautiful scrapbooking kit that comes with pretty patterned papers, and the perfect set of elements for this hybrid project. For the sentiment, I used Darcy Baldwin’s Stamp Pad Alpha.

Hybrid Hub: Thank You Card No. 15

Published by Sula H.

It was a happy hour for my hybrid heart today. I was out on a stroll on campus, when I came across a little shop that said “stationary store” on the outside. Had never really been in there, so I thought, I’d take a peek. Have been looking for some ways to create a hybrid mini book/album, but nothing the usual stationary/craft stores around have to offer would work for me. But lo, setting my foot into that store, I soon realized I had dug up a treasure! I sure must have spent at least an hour in there, combing through their piles of stuff, and in the end, left with an emptier purse than I had meant to, but a bag full of treasures and a happy heart. Now I have ribbons, miniature size (bull) clips, notebooks (that will do perfectly once I’ve torn them apart and use the paper for scrapping), and I even found a way how I could put together my December Daily album from last year that still needs lots …
