Digital stamps are vey easy and fun sort of stamps which are cheaper than clear or rubber stamps. And they are much easy to store!
1. Getting digi stamp
Usually you get digi in online shop like Little Blue Button Stamps . After making an order you get a link to download. Also in most cases there are certain quantity of times you can download your digi from the shop – in LBBS it is permanent. It means you have to download digi and store it in your computer but you can always access your account and download it again.
Usually you get digis in jpg or png files.
2. Keeping your digi
The main way to store your digi – is to create a folder on your computer or in the cloud (ICloud or Google Drive) and upload your digis there (but don’t forget you password to these sources). Also you can make a copy on your personal flash drive.
Some crafters print all the digis also and store them in the folder to see what digis do they have or to practice coloring.
3. Resizing and printing
The most fun part of digital stamps is that you can resize them! Whether you make 3×3 card or a big altered canvas, you can use the same digi and fit it to the size you want.
Usually you have to use different graphic editors as Adobe Photoshop, Pixelmator or else.
You can also resize them using Microsoft Word

If you like paper piecing and you think that you can’t do this to digis – you’re wrong.
Digital stamps are very easy to paper piece.
