In Ami’s shop, you’ll find everything from beautiful patterns, like floral prints and ornamental scrolls, to funky geometric shapes. It’s a wonderful mix of spunky, retro and sweet! She also makes lots of great journaling pieces, tags and stamps that are perfect for adding touches to your paper scraps as well.

Let’s take a peek in her shop, shall we? Here are some of my favorite picks that I think are perfectly suited to hybrid papercrafts:

One more thing I found in Ami’s shop that I wanted to show is this collection of grungy numbers and letters. I’ve seen lots of art pieces today that include these sorts of graphic elements. I love these!

Looking around in the gallery, I found three stunning cards from our Hybrid Chicks to show you today! First, here is a gorgeous card from Jess, using Ami and Sherrie’s collaboration, Your Mother:

And here are two pretty cards from Savitri, using Ami’s Skwerm papers. Here’s the first one:

And then she also made this adorable one with Skwerm as well:

And here’s a card I made using Ami’s adorable Joyful papers and Kelleigh’s Cupcake Card, Fat Envies and Flower templates:

I kinda “over” soaked my flower this time. I was feeling brave, after having success with previous flowers that didn’t bleed on me. So I guess I thought this puppy was invincible! I stuck it under the faucet… and then watched all the color disappear on me. I had printed pink and orange flowers (which I alternated) but you can’t really tell that now. I even tried to paint some color back into the flowers with my daughter’s watercolor set! But then I sprayed it with glimmer mist. Oh, my. Well… it looks nice and tangerine at least.

Hope you enjoyed getting a peek at Ami’s beautiful papers and goodies. Take a look in her shop and see what you find that might be just perfect for your next project!

Happy crafting!
