What is Hybrid Crafting?
Hello crafters! Wendy
of WendyBird Designs here and I
am really getting excited for the Expo next month! I’ll be travelling from Phoenix to attend for
the first time and I’m teaching a Hybrid Crafts Class!
First things first, what exactly is digital
scrapbooking? I love this
post by Scrapping with Liz, but the simple version is that the scrapbook
kits are all digital downloads and the pages are made using Photoshop or other
photo editing software. The scrapbook pages can be shared online and also
printed individually or into photo books.
My hybrid templates let you bring your digital supplies out
of your computer – you use those digital scrapbooking kits to create printable
projects – all designed to be able to print at home or professionally, then
they get cut out and assembled into 3D projects.
If you are or
have ever been a “traditional” paper scrapbooker, you’ve probably seen the
plastic templates that let you trace shapes on to paper then fold them up to
make boxes or tags. Hybrid templates are
just like those but better! Because
they’re digital, they can be resized easily, you can attach digital papers to
create a printable project that is perfect every time and are completely
reusable and versatile!
If you have a Silhouette or other digital die cutting
machine then you are going to be in heaven, because my 3D hybrid templates all
come with cutting files so that you can easily create print and cut projects!
Really, hybrid is the best of both worlds – you have the
ease of digital scrapbooking (no messes to clean up before you can use the
table to eat dinner), plus being able to reuse digital supplies – you can
duplicate, resize and recolor to your heart’s content to get the most out of
your digi stash! And you still end up with a hands-on physical project to
show off or give as a gift! There really is something special about
seeing your digital creation in “real life”!
In my Hybrid
class at the Expo, we’ll be creating 5 really fun Easter projects and
you’ll get to see the process from start to finish – I’ll start with the blank
template, decorate it with a digital kit, see how it’s printed and cut and then
we’ll all assemble them together!
We are going to have a lot of fun and I hope that you’ll
join me there! See you in March!
