Advantages of Digital Stamps:
• Super versatile as they can be resized, mirrored, and manipulated before printing
• Easily create scenes, without masking
• No waiting! Once purchased, you can download them right away
• Saves space in your craftroom, as they do not require physical storage

You will receive two PNG files for every digital stamp your purchase. The first is a black and white PNG file on a transparent background and the second is a light-grey and white PNG file on a transparent background ('no-line' version). The benefit of the light-grey version is if you wish to do a 'no-line' image where you can colour over the light grey lines. PNG files can be opened and printed on any computer and printer. The digital stamps are sized perfectly for an A6 or 4x6" card but can be resized to your project as necessary.

A laser printer is most ideal when printing digital stamps however, most of us (including myself) have inkjet printers and can also successfully print and colour digital stamps with this style of printer (Canon Pixma or HP ENVY Photo printer are great ones). Depending on the printer/ink/and card you use, you may need to do a bit of testing before colouring with alcohol or water based mediums. 

If your printer ink bleeds, you can try the following tips below to see if it will help:

• Leave overnight to dry.
• Try heat-setting the ink with a hair dryer or heat gun
• Print in draft or fast mode to use less ink on the printout.

Here is a list of the papers we recommend for best printing results (especially when colouring with water or alcohol based media):

• XPress It Blending Card (our fav!)
• Transotype Perfect Coloring Paper
• Neenah Solar White
• Accent Opaque White
• Strathmore Bristol Smooth
• Deleter Comic Book Kent Paper
• White Hammermill

But don't be afraid to test out other media and find what works best for you!

GOOGLE DOCS

I highly recommend using Google Docs to resize and flip your digital stamps. It is a free, web-based program and doesn't require you to download or install any software.

To resize image in Google Docs:
1. Insert > Image > Upload From Computer
2. Click on image and resize accordingly.
NOTE: If you click on the 'Image Options' button, you can see the exact dimensions of your image.

To flip image in Google Docs:
1. Insert > Drawing > +New
2. Click on 'Image' icon on right side
3. Choose File to Upload
4. Actions > Rotate > Flip Horizontally

MICROSOFT WORD

Alternatively, you can also edit the images in Microsoft Word. Alyce from Kit & Clowder has two very helpful videos to help you with digital stamps on your computer.

All RAM Stamps are designed to fit well within a 4x6" frame. The file you'll receive will be larger in the case that a larger print is needed. For cardmaking, they are best scaled to 4x6" with 300 DPI.

When digital stamps have been printed from a computer they can be coloured in the same way as traditional stamped images. Pens, pencils, and paints are all suitable for use with printed digital stamps.

We have some crafty friends who are amazing at teaching their colouring skills through video classes. There are also lots of Youtube videos where you can search for tips using specific techniques and tools.

Yes, you can absolutely use the digital file to create your own personal clear or rubber stamp. But remember, you can't sell this stamp and can only produce the one single stamp for personal use! I highly recommend Magnuson Custom Stamps who are located in the US but ship worldwide. They will take your custom design or digital stamp and produce a clear or rubber stamp. They sent me a sample of their product and the quality and customer service are amazing! So if you prefer a physical stamp but love one of my digis, this may be the route for you.

Yes, you can purchase RAM clear stamps with coordinating die-namics at MFT Stamps. There are a select number of designs in their shop and we are releasing new designs all the time so be sure to check regularly!

If you'd like to move parts of the stamp around, resize, flip, or add two stamps together, you can do so in programs like Microsoft Word, Procreate, and more. Maartje walks us through the process of bringing multiple images together in Procreate to create a unique scene!
