FAQ: What is a digital stamp?
Mo's digital stamps are simply original illustrations hand-drawn personally by me, Mo Manning. You "print" right at your computer using your word processing or graphics software and any printer -- instead of dipping a rubberized version into ink and stamping.
Every illustration in my shop was drawn specifically for crafters to use in their hand-made and hand-colored crafts. These are exactly the same techniques and resolution that I send to my publishers to have made into traditional stamps -- or to be printed in my children's trade books. (Find more about me and my books here at my illustration site.)
What is so great about digital prints?
- You can easily resize and even flip the images.
- You can merge stamps together (using any graphics program)
- No rubber manufacturing costs = lower prices!
- Never any shipping costs, you can buy these from anywhere in the world, download and have them instantly.
FAQ: What am I buying?
You are purchasing a PERSONAL LICENSE to use my copyrighted black and white image on your handmade, hand colored crafts as many times as you like. (
See my policy for exact terms of use)
When you purchase an image, you receive download links via email (and in your account information on Mo's Digital Pencil shop) for digital files that you unzip and print from your computer. Please remember, digital stamps are black and white images. Color samples in my shop are for watermark purposes only. Please
email me if you have any questions. :)
FAQ: How Do I Pay?
My shop accepts Paypal, e-checks through Paypal, and Credit Cards. (Paypal processes credit cards for my shop, but you do not need a Paypal account to use your credit card.) If you can not use any of these methods, the only other option is to pay a friend to purchase a gift certificate for you.
FAQ: How do I get my stamps?
1. Look for an email from my shop with download links (check your spam folder if you don't see it)
2. You can also access your download links from your Mo's account info. Click on the Account button at the top right of the page
3. You get 5 downloads or 1 year -- whichever comes first. If you have trouble downloading your images for the first time, just
email me for help.
DO NOT FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR PURCHASES IN CASE OF YOUR COMPUTER FAILING. Believe me, it happens!
FAQ: How do I resize and print?You need to bring your jpeg into your
word processing,
photo editing or
graphics software before you can resize.
With MS Word, for example (which most people already have):
1. Open a new file in Word
2. Drag your jpeg image file into your opened Word File (or import image from the menu.)
3. Click on the image once it's in Word -- it will highlight
(hold Shift down so your image doesn't distort.) Just grab a corner to resize.
4. PRINT!
FAQ: How do I open this file I just downloaded?Once you have saved the zip file to your computer, you'll need to "unzip" it before you can use it. If you don't have an unzip program already, you can download a free one online, like this one I recommend called
7-ZipAlways save your zip file to a folder on your computer where you can easily find it again. (I keep mine on a folder called
Mo Stampin on my desktop)
Also MAKE SURE to to keep a backup file somewhere safe, like on a
flash drive, external drive or rewriteable CDROM.
You are responsible for keeping your data safe and you should be doing this for ALL the information on your computer, including your images.
