If you saw some hybrid scrap booking project, you might have noticed that they often use cardboard in them. Do you know that it’s possible to create your own digital cardboard elements? You can make them any color you want and any shape you want.
What to use cardboard for? You can use the cardboard technique to make some elements, like frames, tags, tickets and even alphas or wordarts. As you make your cardboard yourself, you can make it suit all your projects, by adjusting colors, adding textures etc. You can cut the top layer as you want creating different looks for your cardboard. So if you make an alpha or word art you can give a different look to every letter by changing the shape of the top layer.
Cardboard with photos? You can make a real large cardboard piece and attach your photos on it with some pins, rubber bands, etc. Adding some shadows will make this look very realistic and will give a great look to your digital scrapbook page.
