New To Digital Stamps

The popularity of digital stamps are growing with leaps and bounds, but are still fairly a new thing. Below, you'll find some helpful tutorials on how the purchase of digital stamps works, and some information on the free programs available for opening, resizing, and printing your new digital stamp.

Purchasing Digital Stamps

You can browse our store as a visitor anytime, and even add items to a shopping cart. However, to continue on and make a purchase, you'll need to create an account, or sign in, if you already have one. Any items that you have added to your shopping cart as a visitor will be there upon signing in. You'll find the Log In/Register at the top of our page.

Once at the Log In/Registration page, you'll see fields/boxes that need to be filled in. Once complete, just click the "Submit" at the bottom of the page..

Once you have signed in, look for "Shopping Cart" at the top of the page, as shown below.

Easy Steps to Purchasing

Step 1

As you find stamps that you would like to purchase, click the "Add to Cart" link below the stamp image.

Step 2

Once you're happy with your selections, click on Shopping Cart, located at the top of the page.

Step 3

Here you can view your order, and make any changes needed, do more shopping, or continue to checkout.

Step 4

Here, you can make changes to your information, and add special instructions or comments before continuing on to checkout.

enter the type of code (discount, gift certificate, etc.) in it's appropriate location. Once you are happy, continue on to checkout.

It is recommended that you save a copy of your stamp to a external drive, online storage, or disc for safe keeping.

However, your order can be re-downloaded an additional two (2) times (for a period), should you loose your stamp.
To re-download, sign in, and click on "My Account" and choose to view your order history.

Zip Programs

All our stamps come in a zipped file for the purpose of reducing the file size for a speedy download. If you would like to learn more about the zip format, you can go HERE. I've also provided links to several of the more popular zip programs, all of which are free and provide an easy to follow tutorial.

In addition to the "Paint" program (standard with every pc), stamps can be worked with in most versions of "Word". There are also many free programs available on the internet that you can use to work with your stamp. Below I have provided links to some FREE programs.
