6 Easy Ways to Level Up Your Hybrid Page After Printing!
Hey, hey! Traci here today to talk about how three ways I leveled up this hybrid layout AFTER I printed it! I have this perfectly gorgeous digital layout that I created with the Grit & Grace collection and a background template from Designed by Soco.
It’s a beautiful layout that I’m very happy with and I could just print it all as one piece or even in layers to reassemble and be happy with it. But as I like to do, I instead went the extra mile and added even more to my final hybrid layout, after I sent it to print!
Here is the final hybrid/paper layout with the added details:
The first thing I did was ink the edges of both my paper pieces and my background paper with brown ink. This added some much needed grounding to the layout and visual interest. I also added ink blotches in a deep navy with a dropper and distressed the edges of my paper pieces. All three combined added to the digital mixed media already on the background in a fun way.
When printing, I printed two copies each of the digitally layered hearts and cut the top heart out of the second copy to actually layer them in real life. I added a fine line of glue to just the center of the top heart so that the edges of the heart would fold up and lift away from the bottom heart.
I also printed multiple copies of both my title and the letter board to make them thicker like chipboard.
Lastly, the only additional product I aded to my page were rows of glittery enamel dots along the edges of each photo for just a little pop of bling!
These subtle changes from the original digital layout subtly leveled up the layout for the viewer and added some fun to the process after printing!
