The first thing you need to make a digital stamp is a sketch. You can either sketch a design on paper or sketch digitally on the iPad. Once you have your sketch you need to ink the image. When you ink an image that just means you go over your sketch with a black marker or ink digitally on the iPad. My favorite app to ink digitally in is Adobe Ideas. Inking will give your digital stamp a nice solid outline that stampers can color in.
Bring your inked images into editing programs like photoshop by scanning your ink at 300 dpi if on paper and just email it if you inked digitally. Resize your digital stamp and save as a jpeg file. Scale your digital stamp to a 4x5 and place in the middle of a 8.5 x10 document. Save your digital stamp and title it with a name such as OwlDoodle-2cuteink.jpg.
Create another digital stamp with a watermark to put in your digi shop. What is a definition of a watermark? A watermark is your company name with the ( c ) in front of it, example ( c ) 2cuteink. The watermark lets you see the image but prevents people from stealing your digital stamp. Create a new layer in Photoshop, put the opacity to 50% and type your information. Type your watermark information a few times to ensure the words go over the length of your image. Move this watermark layer above your digital stamp layer and now you have a watermarked digital stamp. Save your watermarked digital stamp as a jpeg like this, OwlDoodleCR-2cuteink.jpg.
You are now ready to upload your watermarked digital stamp to you shop. Godaddy, Art Fire and Esty are websites where you can create a shop all by yourself. You can make a instant download shop on Etsy and Godaddy, where customers get there digital stamp instantly. No need to email the digital stamps manually. Shopping carts have two spots, one for the watermarked and one for non- watermarked digital stamps.
Everyone can make their own digital stamp shop. Artists get royalties from companies that sell there work as digital stamps. Many artists are now starting their own shop vs getting royalties with companies. Making digital stamps requires no money, just lots of time and effort.
