Gifted Glove Meets 2012 "A Tutorial"

Hi, Ya'll;)

I wanted to take time today and share a little

about the 

World of Digi Stamps with you.

I have been in the process of turning my OLD

(Okay, really old!)

Stampin' Up sets to digital files.

Today I am going to show you what I have done with

"Gifted Glove",

Remember that beautiful set?

I fell in love with this set after it was retired and had to make my

purchase on Ebay.

I may have used it one time for Christmas Cards other than

that it has been tucked away.

Those were some expensive Christmas Cards, just sayin;)

Now that I have it digitized I find myself using it all the time.

Here is my digi card creation:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Baroque Motifs has also been digitized and used 

in this creation.

Here are the set images,  

they are stamped in Palette Black Noir ink:

Below you can see a comparison.  

I love that you can re-size the image.

With rubber it is what it is.

This manipulation would be a PRO for Digi images, SIZE.

Also how beautiful the digi colored images are.

I never had cards looking this good with this set in

rubber form, I shutter to think of those designs today.

This manipulation would be PRO number 2, Infinite Creative Options

And the same with the scarecrow...

Here are the steps I take to digitize my rubber images:

Step 1

Stamp your rubber images with palette Noir black 

onto white card stock.

Step 2

Scan your card stock, and save to your computer

as either a JPG or PNG file.

Step 3

Open your graphic manipulation software.

(I use Photoshop)

Step 4

I use the Quick Selection tool around one image and than after it is selected I move the single image into a new 4" by 4" file.

Step 5

Save the new file.

Step 6

Open a duplicate file to work on.

(this is important otherwise you will be making changes to your original file)

Step 7

Manipulate your digital image as you would like.

Step 8

Save your duplicated file to a Scanned Stamp Folder.
