Last year I looked into doing digi stamps and it seemed economical.  You purchase an image, you download it, and then print it using your printer.  Since I've had a waterproof prints capable printer it seemed like a good idea - but I still wanted to have a physical stamp.

After purchasing some stamp sets online at the cost of $15usd each - the cost of continuing to purchase physical stamps seemed astronomical unless I was to find a way to get them at a hefty discount.

Last night I finally ventured into purchasing digi-stamps and don't know why I hesitated!  With my background in Photoshop and Illustrator this gives me so much MORE control than having a stamp!  Sure - you can't stamp directly onto a card front without some printer maneuvering and embossing is out of the question - but for someone who doesn't do a whole lot of embossing it really is flexible.

I can now upscale and size images as large as I want without hesitation!  I could make a digi-stamp the whole of the cardfront - and then run it through the cameo - the stamp could be the card!

If you're hesitating - here's some FREE digi-stamps offered by Paper Smooches to get you started!

I've been purchasing The Greeting Farm digi-stamps - granted they're a bit pricier but I can now resize those stamps any way I choose (they're high quality TIF files).

I think next I'll be purchasing from Hero Arts (if they have digital stamps on offer) and The Odd Girl (and I know they do!)

Thanks for reading!
