Ten Creative Ways To Use Digital Stamps: Idea Eight

Here we are already at idea number eight!

Using the Kellie Stamps November set: Summer 2016

IDEA #8: SAVE IT!

So this week, I wanted to show you how you can save your work after you alter a digital stamp and use it to create a Project Life® card! IF you remember from last week, we altered a digital stamp to color in one of the letters. Any of the previous week's ideas would work well also!

 I saved the file from last week, under a new name, but in the same folder as the rest of the Summer 2016 stamps from Kellie Stamps . Simply added the file to a 3x4 template in Photoshop, and printed it along with a photo on a 4x6 photo paper. This way I didn't waste the photo paper when I had only one more photo to print for this week! Win, win.

Supplies: Becky Higgins LLC. Photo Pocket Pages, Project Life® Everyday Edition, Kellie Stamps Digital Stamp set "Summer 2016", and Studio Calico Project Life® Kit Canyon Lands (November 2015)

 Week 47 both sides: "Sun-kissed" and "Hello Sunshine" from the Summer 2016 Kellie Stamps set, Adobe Photoshop CC2014, Becky Higgins LLC. Photo Pocket Pages Design A, Studio Calico Montly Project Life® Kit (November 2015 Canyon Lands), Project Life® Everyday Edition, You-version Bible App for the right hand page first 3x4 card on the left.




By saving the digital stamp I was able to quickly add it and create my own 3x4 card on the left that matched the right hand side. I like to add repeating elements to both sides to keep a cohesive look.




Thank you so much for joining me, and happy digital stamping!!

Ten Creative Ways To Use Digital Stamps: Idea Six and Project Life Week 45

For today's idea, I used both new November Release sets from

Kellie Stamps!! 

IDEA #6: MASK IT!

One of the awesome things about digital stamps, or png files, is that you can create a clipping mask and change the shape of anything you want to layer over it!! This would be labor intensive to create with physical product, but it only takes four steps in the digital realm!

 See that "Sunset" word art? That is a digital stamp from Kellie Stamps, and I used the PNG file you get when you purchase the set, to make a clipping mask.

Step one: Open or create a 6x4 inch file in Photoshop as layer one.

Step Two: Open your PNG (digital stamp) file as layer two.

Step Three: Open your selected photo or pattern as layer three.

Step Four: Hover you mouse in between the photo layer, and the stamp layer in the layers palette, and right click to bring up pop-up menu and select "Create Clipping Mask".

That's it!!! Save your file to your computer , and you have a custom clipping mask with your desired photo or pattern behind it!! Love this about digital stamps!!  So RAD!
