the hybrid chick

To make this cute little hanging sign you will just need a few things.

A super sweet digi kit like The Ultimate Baby Girl Collection by MKC Creations at The Digi Chick. Of course you can find a cute baby boy kit too. But my baby girl is 16 and this kit was just so cute!

• Your Photo Editing Program
• Matte Photo Paper
• Printer
• Chip Board
• Glue Stick/Glue
• Scissors
• Distress Ink
• Pop Dot Tape
• Ribbons/Embellishments

So the first thing you will want to do is open your digi papers and embellishments in your Photo Editing Program, I use PSE6.

Then you want to open a new file that is 8.5×11. I do this so I can resize everything to the right size for printing.

I drag my first paper into the 8.5×11 file and since I want mine to be a heart I use my cookie cutter tool and cut it into a heart.

Then I just design it all on top of the heart how I want it. And of course add your letters.
Then you arrange it all for printing. Like this…

Now it’s all printed out and ready to put together!

You will cut out all your pieces and I like to sand and ink the edges.

Trace around your bigger heart on the chipboard and cut and glue it to the heart.

I added some trim around the edges of my smaller heart by gluing it on the back of the heart, I added some tape too, just to be sure it would hold. Then put your Pop Dot tape on and stick it on top of the big heart! Easy!

Now you just need to add your ribbon for hanging which I just attached to the back with some good strong tape. This is what the back looked like.

I didn’t want to leave the back unfinished so I covered it with some scrapbook paper I had in my stash.

I also added some cute little bits of ribbon an the front I glued them on and clamped them for a bit so they could dry nice and strong.

That’s it! A Very simple and super cute gift!
