I love using my digi supplies in printed projects!! I am always on the hunt for fun and unique ways to print up my supplies and put them to good use! Recently, I hit the jackpot as far as ideas go! Most of these projects include great step-by-step instructions too, so even the hybrid-novice can join the fun!
The first exciting thing I want to share is a site I have been reading and watching for a while now called The Hybrid Chick. It is the hybrid sister site of The Digi Chick and is loaded with ideas for the first-time hybrid scrapper/crafter to the well-seasoned. On the top of the homepage, you can find links to some great tutorials on everything from distressing to Mod Podge how-to. I really liked these projects I found there (images are linked to their tutorials):
I made some pens like this a long time ago, but had completely forgotten about them until I saw this:
I really don’t think these tags by Kristin (RuthsKris) could be any cuter! I LOVE all of the layers and textures!
I really liked this unique necklace as well:
I thought this iPhone case was a brilliant idea! I have some printable fabric that I just might try this with:
Lastly, is a little project I did recently. My family is getting ready to move to a different state and because of connectivity issues with my cellphone provider, we switched carriers. Because if THAT, I splurged on a new iPhone. I honestly am not sure how I lived without one before…but I know I did…haha! That is all beside the point…haha. I have always wanted to make a skin using my digi supplies, but wasn’t sure if the colors would print as well for skins as they do when I print my layouts. So, I decided that I would try it out for all of us and share the results (you know…taking one for the team and all that–wink-wink). I have to say I was beyond pleased with the results. The colors printed exactly as I saw them on monitor (which is callibrated) and I am in love with my $15.00 iPhone skin from skinit. I used a kit from Zoe Pern (my favorite). Here’s how it looks:
I just created the layout in Photoshop and then uploaded it to their site. From there I was able to zoom in/out and reposition it on a rendering of the phone. It was easy to make and easy to adhere to the phone. They shipped quickly and the colors came out amazing! So glad I took one for the team…haha!
Hopefully, these great ideas are inspiring for you to put your digi supplies in print!! I promise, they will never look better!

I have a hybrid skinit skin for my laptop and I love it! Someone tries to steal my laptop, they’ll have to peel the LO of me and my family off it, first. LOL Love the iPhone skin you created!

That phone is SO cool! I love that project from the LDD blog, too.
Awesome projects today!!!
Aww! Thanks so much for the love! The Hybrid Chick is just my pride and joy and I simply adore our team of talented artists. They amaze me every day with their awesome projects… I’m so glad you’ve found them to be inspiring as well!
OMGOODNESS!!! I need to “skinit” my touch!!! That’s so cool!
I love the tips! And your iphone cover turned out GREAT!
And I second the request for a post on how to calibrate monitors!
I’m really not a hybrid gal but my daughter loves it so I need to get better at the whole modgepodge thing
Great post!
I would love to see a post on how to calibrate monitors. My new laptop is great but our old desktop really needs to be calibrated and I haven’t been sure on how to do it.
I LOVE your iPhone! Tres cute! I don’t know how I survived without my iPhone either. LOL! In case you haven’t already discovered them, my two most favorite applications are “ToDo” and “Notebook” from Appigo. These are both very functional and useful applications for the organizational freak.
That is an amazingly cute phone cover! How fun!! Now I just need to figure out something that I can cover because I don’t have an iphone! LOL!
