Happy {Inter}National Scrapbook Day Hybrid Chicks! One of the things I love about hybrid papercrafts is the ability to combine my new love of digi papers with my old love of stamping. Today I’m going to show you a few examples of how I’ve used printed digi papers just like I’d use “regular” Designer Printed paper on some stamped card projects. And best of all? Our very own Julee Tilman, owner of Verve Stamps, is offering a VERY generous stamp set to one lucky winner who comments on this post!!
I absolutely LOVE incorporating digi papers on my card projects and typically print out several blocks of coordinating digi prints on a single 8.5×11 inch sheet of paper. I’ll cut those papers just like I would regular store-bought paper and use them along with a cardstock base and some stamped images & sentiments plus a few physical embellishments on my card projects. The card above uses digi papers from the Just Breathe paper pack by Kelley Mickus combined with the Flowers of Tomorrow Plain Jane by Verve Stamps. I added some Kraft cardstock, some real stitching, a folded piece of ribbon and a mini library clip (Stampin’ Up) as embellishment.
Here are few more samples combining digi papers and stamped images/sentiments:
On this card, I used the Whisper Paper Pack by Kelley Mickus and the new Because of You stamp set and the Elegant Flower Plain Jane by Verve Stamps. (Sketch is Lauren Meader’s Saturday Sketch #19)Verve’s stamps look beautiful when stamped directly on printed digi papers! I used a Kraft Cardstock base and added some Chocolate Chip cardstock matting to some of the digi paper panels. The stamped flower was cut out with my hobby blade and I added a large vanilla brad to the center. Some chocolate ribbon completed the physical embellishments. The main sentiment panel is popped up on 3-dimensional adhesive for some added depth.
This last card once again uses a Kraft cardstock base. This time I used the Flight of Fancy mini kit included in Elise’s Pieces May Grab Bag. Isn’t that airplane embellishment adorable!?! I cut it out with my hobby knife and popped it up on 3-dimensional adhesive. The stamped sentiment is from Verve’s Beautiful Kindness, attached with some simple staples. And finally, some more chocolate ribbon to finish it off!
So there you have it! Some fun and easy samples of how you can incorporate stamping in your hybrid projects! How about a giveaway? How’d you like a chance to win some of those amazing Verve stamps you’ve heard me raving about? Here’s a look at what we’re giving away:

I’m a beginner stamper who knows virtually nothing about digital scrapping or stamping, so the hybrid world is a mystery to me. I do wish I understood how it all worked, though.

I guess at just turning 50 I should be the Queen of something,LOL! I just am an addicted lover of arts, crafts,stamping, scappin’ etc I get the ink craving weekly so I am a weekly Ink princess on the way to becoming a Queen (it may take me another 50 years) as long as I can hold a stamp it will get inked, ahhh haaaa!

I do a ton of stamping so maybe I am a queen!?? I almost always stamp my cards and often stamp paper layouts as well!
Well, I don’t consider myself clueless and I certainly can’t find my tiara, so I’m somewhere in between. I love combining my stamps with my digi products whenever I can – it opens up so many more choices! And as for Verve stamps, I can’t say enough about how much fun they are to work with – so versatile and fabulous images!! I’m delighted to see more and more hybrid projects showing up in galleries. The very first card I ever uploaded was a combination of digi papers and rubber stamping!

I would love to win this set. I love the one that says, for this child I have prayed. Gives me goose bumps everytime I see it.
Thanks for the chance to win some Verve Stamps–that would would be great for my new grandson’s scrapbook. Love visiting your blog when I get that extra computer time.
Thanks for a chance to win some very cool stamps.
I would consider myself to be an inbetween stamper. Thanks for the opportunity to win the beautiful Verve Stamp set.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your cards.
Most days I’m clueless, but you wouldn’t know that from all the stamps and ink (queen-worthy even) that I have!
I started as a digi gal but I’ve started doing hybrid a few months ago and love it! For now I do most of my stuff digitally, print it out and then I add real embellishments; I haven’t tried adding stamps yet, but you made me want to try that out!
Love your cards too Jen especially the one with Elise’s beautiful kit….those papers and the plane are fabulous!
I think your cards are wonderful. I have tried digital images. However, mine don’t turn out as spectacular as yours. I love the paper!
Love your cards!!! Please put me into this drawing for the Verve stamps… I have none yet… Been waiting it out since I tend to buy many more of things I like… Thanks for the awesome chance, Kathy
Gorgeous cards! I’m working on a stamped card right now using that fun airplane kit, thanks for the contest!
Oh, I’m in love with Verve stamps…I have been using my new ones nonstop this week. I’m so glad I got the Because of you before they went out of stock!!
I luv the sentiments, it’s so hard to find the right size of sentiments.. I’ve been doing hybrid for 4 years now,just luv it.

Well my sisters call me the craft queen and have for years. I have always done alot of stamping so that should make me the stamping queen!!!!
Just recently I’ve had the opportunity to play with digital images and have made a few hybrid cards. I’m getting the hang of it and starting to really like it. I just need to get a new printer now to do it justice! And well, Verve!! Don’t get me started but let’s just say it’s my fave stamp company!
Cheers!

I am somewhere in between. I have been learning to stamp over the past few years but don’t have much time to devote to really becoming a queen. I’ll call myself a queen wannabe. Thanks for showing us the hybrid way. I will surely use it in future, as soon as I get a printer with supplies that are reasonably priced (have an HP Color LaserJet now…whew, they’re “spendy”). Looking at the new Kodak printers to see if they’re a good fit.
Stunning! What lovely combinations. After not stamping for a few years I have just this year got back into making all my cards by hand.
My stamps are all about 20 years old…so it is time for an update!
I would consider myself to be a stamping Princess. Not quite a queen but not a newbie! Great set of stamps from a super company!

Hello Jen,
I’m a stamper from way back. I love to stamp, but I’ve never done any hybrid stamping before so this is totally new territory for me. I think the sentiments on the Verve stamps are the most beautiful sentiments I”ve ever come across. They are so awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,
Anne P.
I’m a betweener. Though I have been stamping for two years, there is always something else to learn. These stamps would be perfect for me since I just found out (twice in the last month) I’m going to be a G-ma this year!
I love crafting and have stamped some, but am still a beginner!
I’ve been following blogs for a while now and definitely love the idea of ‘hybrid’ scrapbooking. Using digital elements and papers on layouts. x
Found your site a few weeks ago and I’ve made several projects – love your hybrid work! I also love stamping, and need more excuses to break out the stamps. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
i´m more of a digital girl, so i guess tht makes me a clueless stamper??????????
I’m a somewhere inbetween, but I love verve and I love digi- what a great combo!
When it comes to stamping – I’m clueless. I have TONS of stamps because I LOVE THEM. I collect stamps and ink pads and I try – really I do. But when it comes to actually stamping something on a page, I get so freaked out that it won’t look right – I just don’t do it. I read blog after blog and every tutorial I can find – but still I can’t seem to muster up the confidence to just do it! Crazy, huh? LOL Until I get up the nerve, though, I’ll keep on collecting those wonderful stamps so I’ll have them when I’m ready, I guess!
Facebooked!

Wow!! What awesome cards!! Love that airplane! They are all great though!!
Well, since I don’t hardly make a project without stamping somewhere on it, I guess I am a Stamping Queen! It’s nice to be royalty somewhere!!
Thanks for a chance at a sweet and adorable set!!
Hugs,
Melissa B

Thanks for your inspiration and for the chance to win!

Gorgeous cards and an adorable stamp set!!
I’m an in-betweener. I’ve been stamping for a while but there’s always something new either in stamping or a new craft that I want to try, but stamping is my first love. Thanks for the chance to win some great stamps. I love Verve stamps!
I’m an in-betweener! I love it, but I still have a lot to learn!
I do a lot stamping, but I wouldn’t say I’m a queen. I guess that means I’m in between.
I am an in-between, I am new, and just building my stamp collection, and Verve is one of those on my wish list. Make my wish come true
…
I am a regular card-maker – use ‘real’ paper and stamps. Never used dgi papers before, still trying to get my head around technology!!? Love to win someVerve stamps – am an avid follower of the Verve blog and Julee’s delicious creations.
I have been stamping for four years now and consider myself in-between, definitely not a queen! I do a great job copying all your wonderful challenges and ideas. I would love to add this set to my ever-growing collection. Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
I have been cardmaking/scrapbooking off and on for about 7 years. Julee’s work is AWESOME and it gets me back in my craft room. Purchased som Verve stamps and would like to win some as well.
I’ve stamping and cardmaking for a year and I would say and hopeful other people too that I am a in-between. and hopefull one day I will be a queen.
Well, I defnitely wouldn’t call myself a Queen, LOL! maybe a Princess? Cuz I like all things girlie and flowery. Hee hee. I think the best part about stamping is that it’s not really a craft that we “master”…there is always much to be learned and so much wonderful talent out there! After 6 years of stamping I definitely want to continue learning. Too many awesome stamps and techniques out there that i don’t want to miss!!!
Are you kidding….when I step into my craft room….I’m a clueless stamper! LOL
To my family and friends…..I wouldn’t say I’m a queen stamper…but maybe the queens right hand gal! LOL
But in reality…..I’m really in between….kinda like it here…for now LOL
I am a paper crafter and rubber stamper – only – however, am very curious about digital scrapbooking and getting ready to try to learn more. Thanks for the chance to win a great stsmp set – I have been wanting a Verve stamp set for some time!!!
