*************************************************************************

 For those that are new to the world of digital stamps I have a quick refresher for you.

How to use digi stamps with PSE10.

Open your donwnload stamp file.  

This file comes as a jpg from Eureka Stamps that means it has a white background you will need to remove this background for my technique.

Click on the background eraser tool as shown below.

Click onto the white background you will see it be removed and the transparent layer appear.

I wanted to do something special with this image so I added a preloaded effect.

Color Target was my choice.

In your effects panel pick the Color Target Effect under the complex label and apply it to your digital stamp.

Now save your colored digital stamp as a png file to preserve the transparent background.

 Below is my saved digital stamp in png form...

Below you can see that I have opened my save PNG digital stamp in my

Silhouette Cameo designer software.

Now I am ready to print and cut my bookmarks...

 

Here are two completed hybrid bookmarks.

The 3d star from Lori Whitlock is one of my fave cuts on the Silhouette;)
