6 Tips for Making the Digital Layout - Hybrid Layout Process Easier!
Merge your mixed media, journaling and/or scatters to your background or photos before printing, this makes it so much easier than using clear sticker paper or hand-placing small scatters later.
Gut your papers behind your photos to save paper space and ink - no one’s going to know there’s nothing back there but you! Here’s a tutorial on how to do that.
Create your cut sheets directly from your layout in your photo editing program, but adjust them in your cutting machine program to get them as close as possible - it’s easier to visualize just how close you can get all your papers and bits and bobs in the Silhouette software. Here’s a video tutorial on making your own cut sheets from your layout!
While in your cutting machine program, cut and print multiple copies of embellishments you want to have a little “faux chipboard” depth, and then glue them together after cutting. I prefer 3 copies for the right thickness.
Print a quick copy of your layout as a “draft” on regular copy paper to refer back to while scrapping so you don’t have to keep looking at your computer.
If you have fussy layouts to reassemble, keep the paper pieces as they are on the layout on your cut sheets and use that as a guide for reassembly!
