Digital Stamps Basics what is a digi?

In this chapter well go over all the info you need to know beforeyouevenprintyourfirstimage.Allthewayfromwhat a Digital Stamp is to types of images.

What is a digital stamp?Digital stamps are the pixels and printer equivalent of getting out your favorite pad of ink and rubber/clearstampandgettingyourfingersinky.Typicallyblackandwhitepiecesofart,digitalstamps

usually come in a JPEG or PNG format (more on that later) that you open in your favorite word processing or photo editing software and print via your home printer to be enjoyed just like a regular stamped image.

Digitalstamps,ordigistamps,havesomebenefitsanddrawbackswhencomparedtotheirphysical

brethren and some people have a distinctive preference for one over the other.

Dont let the techie aspect of digital stamps send you running for the hills. There is actually very little know-how needed to get started and you dont need fancy schmancy programs to do your basic editing.

Lets go over a few need to knows before throwing you in the deep end of a very shallow pool...

Prosrequires no physical storage space Imagescanbeflipped,rotated,merged, resized and edited Crisp and even print every time

Low price and instant delivery

Consrequires the use of a computer and printer. Advanced techniques may require additional knowledge or software. Computer crash may result in loss of images if not properly backed up

Purchase and DeliveryWhen shopping for digis the methods of purchase and delivery can vary just like any other online shop. I suggest checking out a new-to-you shops FAQs, most will have their methods listed and youll bebetterpreparedbeforeyourfirstpurchase.

Oncepurchased,youllmostlikelyhavedownloadedaZIPfile.ThisZIPwillcontainyourimages,theJPEG and/or PNG I mentioned before, and maybe a copy of the companys Angel Policy or Terms of Use.

If that sounded like a whole bunch of gobbledygook, believe me, every digi newbie has gone thru the same thing! Youre in great company.

Rather than go into the minutia of these terms we are going to focus on how they apply to Digital Stamps.So,letsdefineafewoftheseterms...

Afterunzippingyourdownloadedfilethenyoucangetstartedwiththefunofusingthem!Butletsput

the breaks on for a few more pages and go over some things that youll thank me for later.

Trust me.

ZIP File: A computer file whose contents of one or more files are compressed for storage or transmission, often carrying the extension .ZIP. In laymans terms that means a computer folder thats contents are compressed to make it easier to use. Because of the compression you must unzip or decompress the folder before using its contents. For PC a simple Right Click -> Extract Here/Extract All or a Double Click on Mac should do the job.

JPEG: The most commonly use image format on the internet. JPEGs are widely used on the web as they can be compressed for smaller image sizes, but for our uses JPEGS have a solid background behind your image. Because of the compression ability, never save over your original image. Each re-save over the original will result in an image of lesser quality.

PNG: Another common image format, PNGs are a bitmap based image that allows the image to be present but to have no background. This is a great format for more advanced techniques like Merging. PNGs do not have the same compression abilities as a JPEG so you dont have to worry about loss of quality. Though it is always good practice to keep your original intact.

Angel Policies: Well get more in depth with this in a bit but Angel Policies are additional rights granted to the buyer as decided by the selling company that go above their Terms of Use and the Limited Personal License.

Angel Policies and Terms of UseArtists put a lot of themselves out there along with their hard work into creating art for you to purchase and enjoy. It takes a certain level of trust for artists as these are their livelihoods and can be easily abused. Like other digital mediums, digi artists hold the copyrights to the images they sell and by purchasing the image you arent purchasing the copyright but a Limited Personal License (much like songs on iTunes or the Google Play store).

Terms and Angel Policies are different company to company but in broad terms, standard Terms of Use grant the buyer only a Limited Personal License to use their copyrighted artwork in a non-commercial capacity. In digi stamps, that means you purchased the right to download and craft with it yourself. Each person must purchase their own License so under no circumstances should you share the items you download.

Likewedefinedearlier,theAngelPolicyisextrarightstheArtist/

Copyright Holder is granting to those who purchased the Limited Personal License. Typically this entails allowing you to sell fully finishedcraftsthatcontaintheartwork.Thatmeansifyoucolor

an image then build a card around it you can lawfully sell that card. That does not mean that you can sell an unlimited number of printed pieces or colored only pieces. You would need a Commercial License to be able to do something like that and would cost more than the low digi price.

Remember, this is a very generic explanation of Angel Policies and Terms of Use! Each company has their own that the buyer must abide by. Check their website or give them an email if you have questions. Respecting the artist and their effort makes them able to work on more art for everyone to enjoy in the future.

Tip: Companies may give out Freebies on occasion (like the one included with this Ebook). The companys Terms of Use and Angel Policies still apply to these images. Also, even though they are giving them away that doesnt make it free for anyone to do so. Respect the company and artist by sharing with people where to go to get any Freebie themselves, never send anyfilesyourself.Many

Freebies are only available for a limited time then are available in their shop. Respecting these practices allows shops to keep doing these fun things for their customers.

Digital Stamp Basics storage and more

Before even getting to printing, there are a few things you need to know to prevent frustration along the way.

Downloading

I hate to burst the fun bubble but there are a couple more things youll need to know before we get to printing and playing. Digital stamps can multiply like rabbits, as they are usually cheap to acquire and funtouse.Onedigibecome2thatthenbecomes25thatisaneasysqueakto100s.Layingdown

some rules and organization now will help you from pulling your hair out in the future.

Set yourself up for success from the get go!

Setting your Downloads in Google Chrome:

1. Click Controls tab in the upper right hand corner.

2. Select Settings from the drop down

3. While in the Settings Menu scroll down and click the option for Show Advanced Settings

4. Scroll toward the bottomuntilyoufindthesection for Downloads. Use the Change button to set the default download location. If youd like to choose that location with each download click the check box next to Ask where tosaveeachfilebeforedownloading

Sorting and StorageAfteryouvedownloadedandhaveyourZIPfileinyourvirtualhand,nowisthetimesetupsome

wiggling noses.

Think about how you like to sort your other products and how you think when you go looking for something. Then set upfoldersinaneasytofindlocationon

your computer.

If you like themes, set up a Digital Stamps folder then place subfolders like Christmas, Halloween, Birthday etc. Maybe youll sort yours by Type (Flowers, girls, kids, boys, trains, etc) or you can take it a step further and have subfolders for each company you purchase from with the other subfolders inside. That way when you purchase new images they go automatically into a place that you knowyoucanfindlater.

Thereisnoonesizefitsallsolutionforthistask,itswhatiseasiestforyou,butmakesuretodoit,

youll be happy you did later!

Now youre ready to unzip that folder and put your goodies in their digital homes. A couple quick tips for you before we move on:

if a file doesnt have the company as part of the image name ADD IT ON. Lets prevent headaches

and purchasing what you already own.

if your ZIP file contains the Angel Policy, save one copy from each company for easy reference. The

most up to date version is always on their website, make sure to double check for updates!

this is an example of sorting your digital stamp folders by theme.

You can always add more themes later but setting them up initially

will keep you from having to resort later

another idea to keep you better organized is to add subfolders for

different way. This idea is for those of us who like things like folders and planners, a quick and easy way to create a list of what you have in each folder complete with names and thumbnails

First, open the folder youd like to inventory and select every image inside. You can do this by dragging a box around them with your mouse orclickingonthefirsttoselectitthen

while holding the Shift key click on the last image.

Then while those are selected, Right Click and choose Print. This will bring up the Windows default printing window.

When that is open, scroll down on the choices on the right hand side and choose Contact Sheet. This will automaticallyput35thumbnailsona

sheetwiththeirfilenameslistednext

to them. Make sure that the Copies of each image is set to 1 and that the box next to Fit Picture to Frame is not checked (leaving it checked will crop the image). Lastly, go ahead and click Print. You can use good ol printer paper for this unless youd like something more sturdy or colorful.

This method will not label what folder the images came from so make sure to do so. Its an opportunity to make it pretty, and we crafters love that!

Backing UpLets assume youve fallen down the rabbit hole and your Downloads folder that youve been sending all yourZIPfilestoisstartingtogrow.Yes,youvesortedyourJPEGsandPNGstotheirsubfolders

andyoucaneasilyfindanythingyourelookingfor,butisyourjobdone?

No!

What if in the night theres a storm and a lightning strike kills your computer (happened to me!) or you computer is old and you turn it on an are looking at the dreaded blue screen of death? Unless youve backed up your Digis then you are starting over from scratch.

Duetothedigitalnatureofdigistamps,moststoreswillnotreissuenewfilesincaseofacomputer

crash. Just like taking care of your car with oil checks and maintenance is apart of owning a car, backing up your images is part of digi ownership.

Fortunately, backing up is pretty simple! No way is entirely fool proof so you might go for more than one method but one is better than staring at the blue screen wishing you had backed up.

Here are a few ways you can back up your files:Burn to DiscFlash Drive/USB DriveExternal Hard DriveOnline: Dropbox, Carbonite, Cloud etc.

Not to show favoritism but my 2 methods are burning to Disc, then putting the discs away safe, and Carbonite as it does the backing up on its own so I dont have to remember regularly. Figure out what works for you then keep it up!

Tip: Save your ZIP files! You can unzip

that folder and get new copies of your images until the cows come home. Since they are compressed too that means they are the perfect items to BACK UP.

Digital Stamp Basics basic editing

now that you have your images, have stored them safely and have them sorted and labled, its time to edit them to perfect size!

Now isnt that the 1 million dollar question?

This is probably the biggest question that comes from newbie digi users and it has no single answer. Any program that lets you open an image and edit it in a basic manner, resizing being the very basic need, is a good option to use with your digital stamps.

FormostofthetutorialscomingupIllbeusingOpenOfficeWriter.

ResizingLike I mentioned earlier, Resizing is the most basic editing technique used with digital stamps. It can give you a lot of different looks and a ton of freedom with your images.

Inthissection,Iamgoingtogooverstep-by-stephowtoinsertanimageintoyourOpenOffice

document and then resizing it.

AfteropeningOpenOfficeWriter,thisiswhatyoullseeonyourdesktop.OpenOfficeisnicebecause

though powerful, many of its functions are right up front and easy to see. I have my regular letter size sheet(8.5x11)zoomedoutsowecanseetheentiresheetsodontworryifyoursisntthesame.

Lets get started adding your Digital Stamp!

Go to the top and click Insert then choose Picture and From File.

From File will let you navigate to where youve placed your Digis on your computer.

Choose the image youd like, Im using Summer Kaylee, and click the Open button on the bottom right of the box.

Open will then add your image to your document.

18 19

When inserted, OpenOffice

opens the Properties for yourimage(#5)

and the Picture menu (#4), many of the options are repeated in both places. These automatically appear when your image is selected, as shown by the green squares around the image.

To Resize, go to the Position and Size section (#6) and change the dimensions to whatever youd like, either by using the up/down arrows or entering the numbers in inches for Width and Height.

When Resizing, make sure the Keep Ratio box is checked. This keeps the proportions of the image the same as you Resize. Failing to check this box could result in some very crazy images!

DONT WORRY! A quick Undo or CTRL+Z will take you back a step if you forget.

After you have your image sized just Print and enjoy! Well get more in depth on Printing soon, dont worry! I wont leave you hanging!

So how did you do? Easy you say? I thought so! With this one step down you can enjoy any digi you come across! Lets move along to our next Digital Stamp Basic and add to that repertoire.

FlippingThe next Basic technique to master for Digi supremacy is Flipping. Flipping is simply mirroring the im-age, its another way to stretch your digi dollar that much further.

For this section. We are going to build off of our Resizing Tutorial and pick up just about where we left offinOpenOffice.WewillbeusinganimagethatyouhavealreadyinsertedandResized.

If you followed along with the Resizing tutorial this is pretty much what you should be looking at...

unless you went off to play already with your new found skill. I couldnt blame you there!

For this really easy tutorial youll be using the Picture menu, it should automatically appear when your image is selected (remember the green squares let you know that your image is selected). Ive zoomed in a bit more on the image so you can see what is going down a bit better.

OpenOfficemakesFlippingridiculouslyeasy!Withaquickclickofabuttonyouhave2choiceson

ways you can Flip your image.

ThefirstFlip,flippinghorizon-tally, mirrors the image over the vertical axis. That seems kind of backwards but its the truth.

This will probably be the type of Flipping you will use most often.

Simply click the Flip Horizontal button (#1) and viola! Flipping doesnt change any size or proportions along the way.

The second type of Flip is theverticalflip.Thiswill

mirror your image across the horizontal axis.

Yup, sounds backwards once again.

This is not the same as spinning your image 180 degrees, mind. If you compare the original image from the last page and this one youll notice the mirroring.

I bet you thought Flipping was going to be harder, eh? Well I hope it was a lovely surprise then!

Now that you have the 2 Basic need to know techniques down we can go to the last basic of all:

Finally! you say... not quite yet. Not all printers, ink or paper are made equal and there are some things you need to know.

Last thing. I promise.

PrintingPrinting is the last skill Digital Stamp newbies need to learn about before I turn you out into the big wide world web. No matter your skills with the Basics, Resizing and Flipping, if you dont know how to print then your images are just purty lines on your computer screen.

In this section we will go over printing your digis with 2 types of printers, Inkjet and Laser, as well as somefixesforcommonissuesthatcancropup.

Just like in with coloring though, be aware that your choice in paper will affect your out come of your printing just as much as having the correct settings on your printer. Testing your printing with your coloring medium each time you switch papers and brands of ink or printers will ensure you know what youll get everytime.

Ive provided an easy printable on the next page so you can test quickly without worrying about the harder work of Flipping and Resizing your images. There are multiple circles so you can test more than one medium with the same paper/printer set up at a time.

Ink TestingPrint this page out on your regular coloring paper to text your printer. By testing and keeping track of your results youll remember what works for you and what doesnt.

To test liquid mediums, simply print this on your regular coloring paper then inside the circle, close tobutnottouchingthelineofthecircle,startcoloringwithyourchosenmedium.Letitflowoutfrom

where youre coloring (this will take longer with a thicker paper) and feather passed the line. As it moves passed the printed circle youll be able to see how your printer and paper react with your coloring medium while keeping your marker or other medium safe. For dry mediums, like pencils or other mediums you dont have to worry about contamination, try coloring over the line and see if it smears or smudges.

Inkjet PrintingWhen it comes to inks, we stampers are pretty tops at knowing what kind of ink to use with what type of surface. The same goes with your digital stamps! Just like when you use your Clear Stamps and have to choose between what ink, for inkjet printing you need to be aware of what type of ink your printer uses for the best results.

Whats the difference?TypicallyyoucanfindInkjetPrinterswithoneoftwotypesofink.Yourcoloringmediumwilldetermine

which is best for you to use though there are some work arounds that well talk about. First off here are the ink types...

Dye Ink: the standard ink type used in most inkjet printers. These inks composed of a liquid colorant, are water soluble and soak into your paper to create your printed image.

Pigment Ink: composed of a neutral carrier liquid with suspended colored particles, pigmented inks lie on the surface of the media that they have been printed onto instead of being absorbed. Youre more likelytofindthistypeofinkinphotoprintersandhigherendInkjet

printers though not exclusively.

If you are already a stamper then Dye and Pigment ink is well trod territory. We dont always think of them when talking about printers though.

Dye based inks are great to use with most alcohol based markers, just like with stamping. Pencils would be less likely to smear with this ink as well as its absorbed into the paper.

Pigment Inks are a great choice for water based mediums such as water colors, and some waterbased makers.

Some ink formulas work better than others so its not as cut and dry as with the stamp pad, make sure to test your ink!

Tip: Remember, ink and paper need to work in harmony. Ink can react differently depending on how the paper is manufactured. If your ink isnt working with your paper, and you have the right type of ink and dont want to get a new printer, try out different types of paper.

28 29

Having troubles?As I mentioned, its not as cut and dry as with our trusty ink pads so if you have tested your printer with your paper and though youre using the right ink your having issues there are a couple things you can try.

Heat SettingSometimes the issue is as simple as your ink isnt completely dry before you go to color, causing feathering and smearing. To combat this, leave it to sit over night, or Heat Set your ink. Heat Setting is simple!

1. Print your image.

2. Use your Embossing Gun, or a hair dryer on the hot setting, and heat your image for about 10 seconds. If your image is large or detailed give it a little longer.

3. Let your image cool completely,itmaytake5-10minutes

4. Color!

This will make sure your image is free of moisture before you color.

Tip: Try using the circles sheet on page 27 to test both techniques at the same time.

EmbossingIfHeatSettingdoesntfixyourbleedingissue,youcantryEmbossingyourimage.Thisaffixestheink

to the Embossing powder making it less likely to move.

I recommend using a clear embossing powder if you intend to color as some colored powders can react with certain mediums, were trying to solve problems, not create more for ourselves.

For this technique you need to be quick so gather your supplies before printing and have your powder uncapped and ready!

1. Gather, uncap and be prepared to pounce

2. Print your image

3. When it is fresh from the printer sprinkle on the embossing powder so it sticks while the ink is wet

4. Gently shake off the excess and emboss

5.Letitcoolcompletely

6. Color!

Laser PrintingTheflipsideoftheDigiprintingcoinisLaserPrinting.LaserPrintersworkbyusingahighheatto

bondapowderedtonertoyourpaper.ItactuallyusesalasersoIhavetofindthatreallycool!

Between the toner and the heat setting you are pretty much assured of an image that will not smear or smudge with your coloring. That said, Laser Printing has its own challenges when working with Digital Stamps.

Cant make it easy, right?

With Laser Printing more so than with an Inkjet you have to take your paper into account and have your settings in order for a good, clean image. The wrong settings can make your toner not bond properlyandcauseittoflakeoffthepaper.Thehorror!

Remember, depending on your printer what you see might be a bit different than mine but this will still give you a great starting point. Refer to your printers manual ifyouneedhelpfindingthesesettings.

StartoutbackinthesameOpenOfficeDocumentyou

were working with earlier. Then click File -> Printer Settings.

On the Printer Setup pop up, use the drop down to choose your printer of choice, then click the Properties button (#2)to adjust that printers settings.

From there things for you might look a bit different visually but the settings should be similar. If you click the drop down for Media type youll see many choices. Plain paper is the default and its good for thin copy paper. The thicker the paper the further you will want to bump up the media. For the Copic XPress It, which I use most often, I use the Bond Paper setting (#3). Transparencies would be the only one that would heat your paper more.

32 33

Next go down to Print Settings and use the drop down menu to choose Graphics (#4). This setting seems to make the images more crisp and clear for my printer.

From there just click Ok, then Apply and your printer will use those settings.

With these settings you should be good to go with using your Laser Printer to print your Digital Stamps!

Just like the Inkjet Printer, the Laser Printer can have its common problems of its own so lets take a lookatsomequickfixesforthose.

The two most common problems with Laser Printing are:
