Popularity Of Digital Stamps Is Greater Than Rubber Stamps

Popularity Of Digital Stamps Is Greater Than Rubber Stamps



By Heidi Arrowood





Digital stamps are the new rubber stamp. Gone are the old blocks of wood and cling cushion stamps. Now everything is going digital and why not stamps right? Not only are digital stamps in with technology, they are inexpensive! Digital stamps range in price from 2.00 to 3.00 dollars and many companies offer sales and coupons. Some even offer freebies as a “thank you” and for people who want to just try digital stamps out. This is great news for crafters because you can now buy many more digital stamps than you can rubber stamps and it won’t cost a fortune.



One main reason digital stamps are popular than rubber stamps is they are often offered as instant digital downloads. This means after you pay for your digital stamp you get the jpeg file immediately in your email. That means no waiting and also no shipping cost. Which means you can starting card making and crafting right away and save money. You don’t need to wait for a product in the mail as you would for a rubber stamp or even go to the craft store to make a purchase. You can buy a variety of digital stamps right from your computer instantly.



Digital stamps require no storage and that is why they are popular than rubber stamps. Print your digital stamps at any time and store them on your computer. Organize your digital stamps by creating folders on the computer like fall, birthday, etc. Print and store your digital stamps in a binder for easy access. Drawers, closets and desks won’t fill up with digital stamps as they would rubber stamps.



The third reason why digital stamps are popular than rubber stamps is because you can resize them. You can enlarge or shrink any digital stamp in Microsoft word or Photoshop. This allows more creativity and you can create re-peat pattens, flip and rotate images. Rubber stamps don’t allow for resizing because they only give you one size.



The fourth reason digital stamps are popular than rubber stamps is that artists can have their own shop. Many artists are starting there own digital stamp shops creating and selling their own designs vs licensing designs or starting a rubber stamp company. The cost is very minimum and only requires time to create new art. Heidi Arrowood from 2 cute ink has now gone from creating and selling her own rubber stamps to licensing her artwork for rubber stamps to now just selling digital stamps on her own. She has found this to be more cost effective than selling rubber stamps and it allows her freedom to draw a variety of images and get feedback from fans on what images they would like to see.
