You get the touchable “real” elements of paper crafting without the expense and storage of regular crafting supplies. Digital supplies are cheaper than packages of paper, rubber stamps and stickers and the best part is you can use them over and over again (you never run out!) and you can change them up to meet your needs. Here is a valentines set I made with the Shabby houndstooth digital papers and the Love Grows Here Digital stamp set from Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff at MyGrafico:

Check out the cute die cut frame, it is from the Fancy Border SVG set by Mujka Designs also available at MyGrafico:

The Shabby Houndstooth papers were also used on these cards that feature the Pretty Primitive and All Around Phrases digital stamp sets:

Give computer crafting a try and I’m sure you will be Happily Hybrid just like me!

Time and time again, I see cupcakes being a popular birthday theme, espically when it comes to girls!  Its a great way to have a general sweet theme and being able to get creative with your party decorations as well.

I created this cute birthday invitation from 2 sets of designs from MYGRAFICO.

First of all I used the Baby Shower Cute Backgrounds and Borders designed by JD Digi Designs.  I absloutly LOOOVE this set becasue of the colors and the diversity you get with the set! You can create so many great projects with it, and its fun to mix and match the different patterns. A great addition to this, is it comes with all sorts of borders as well, so it makes a great separation piece when combining papers.

The second set I used in the birthday invitation was this adorable Pink Cutie Cupcakes designed by Kelly Medina.  I was drawn to this set for a couple of reasons.  First of all, its very chic, clean and simple. That alone makes an impact.  Second I really liked that she added faces, it really brings it to life, and it really made the birthday invitation fun and kid friendly.  And of course it being pink!! To Top it off you get three candle accents too!

So as you can see, combining these papers and graphics really came together.  Have some fun and search our shop to find some cool sets to combine as well! I’m sure the result will turn out FAB!

Combining clipart and scrap papers can really make nice cards. Espically when two of them blend together so well as this card does!
