Trend and Product Review: Digital Stamping

June 29, by Heather Holbrook. 4 Comments

A big buzz word in the stamping world right now is Digital Stamping.

What is digital stamping you might ask? Well, it’s simply buying a digital image that you download to your computer and then print out and use like a regular stamped image. There are several advantages to using digital stamp images such as: storage, no need to store so many bulky stamps; cost, they are much cheaper than buying an actual stamp; helps the environment, no trees were cut down for wood blocks.

I recently gave digital stamping a try for myself and got some super cute images from Angel’s Landing. For each group of images I received an Adobe file with all the images and then each image separately in a PNG file. Their website has an easy to follow tutorial and helpful FAQ on how to download your images.

I really like the idea of being able to easily print them out on not only regular cardstock but other surfaces as well like printable canvas or vellum. I made the sweet card featured above by printing out the images of the birds on vellum and coloring them from behind with markers. I also liked how the images worked well with stamps I already owned, the music notes and words are from the April Word Puzzle stamp set from Close To My Heart. For my first try at digital stamping I found it really fun and easy to do.

The wonderful card shown below is from the Gallery at Angel’s Landing.

    One of my favorite things about digital stamp is a perfect impression each time, and of course, being able to save money! I started my own digital stamping site recently at digistamping.com and could definitely use some input as to what kinds of stamps would be most useful to people.

    I love the beautiful cards you make – the bunny and bird are so cute! Thanks for sharing!

    OK I can’t believe that no one has told me what this is.I started scrapbooking about a year ago and I have spent thousands of dollars, including a Cricut Expression.I have dedicated a room and filled it with many things including alot of stamps. Many of these I bought and either haven’t used or I have used them once.I googled ” what is digital scrapbooking” and your site came up. This is so simple and economical I feel stupid for doing it the other way.Thank you for the digi stamps that you have provided for free to help me get started.
