Hybrid Card Making

 I was in need of a card for my niece's son's graduation. I used My Memories Suite to design the card and I used Operation Write Home sketch #16. My digital paper, gnome image and Grad saying are all from Creative Fabrica . This one was fun to make since I already know where it's going! Below is my screenshot of My Memories Suite before printing my card sheet. I layered my gnome, so he has a 3D affect. I used photo boxes and shapes to design the card. If anyone wants to try this, I can make you a step-by-step tutorial if you have My Memories Suite. It is super easy to use compared to Photoshop and all the other graphics programs. And... what I like about hybrid is I do not have all the product clutter and expense. My main products I use are My Memories Suite software, Creative Fabrica & Lettering Delights for digital graphics, white 65 lb. cardstock, black cardstock, HP Instant Ink for printing (super cheap!) a small, quality craft scissors, tape runner, Dollar Tree 3D ...

I made this card by following sketch #15 from the  Operation Write Home  PDF. I used  My Memories Suite  to design the card. I used Holland Spring digital papers and clipart by JennyL_designs, from  Creative Fabrica . The finished card: The screenshot of my card pieces before printing: On this one I had room to add an insert for my card also.
