They smear when you use some colors/inks and I like to emboss my stamped images. They stand out so much better and also helps keeping colors from bleeding over. I do SO hope that someone will license to produce and ship your stamps. I understand about your life changes and wish you nothing but the best.scootingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710754536857398106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880468001413694588.post-76367071533836276652011-12-08T18:18:45.273-08:002011-12-08T18:18:45.273-08:00well, guess I will be saving some money to spend e...well, guess I will be saving some money to spend elsewhere since I won't be purchasing "digi" stamps.. or your other products as ink for printers are just to expensive for that.

The inkjet ink is not the same as a good ink or for embossing or other wet ink technique.

Not to mention that I'm so limited on space in my craft room. I'm sure it was a tough decision process weighing the pros and cons but your images speak for themselves whether in rubber, poly.. or digital.

I personally am excited about having the stamp images on CD....from a purely selfish viewpoint, I do not stamp and am often envious of the images on your stamp sets! Now I can enjoy using them, too, without worrying about the stamping! On a broader view, I can see what you mean about downsizing and you have to do what's best for you---if you're overwhelmed, then you can't do your best job leading Crafty Secrets so the change sounds like a positive thing. In the end, you will have disappointed fans and happy fans---you really have to just do what's best for you and your family. Best wishes as you undergo these changes!! I'll still be a customer, no matter what! :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205866109265687060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880468001413694588.post-67799036041121205052011-11-23T05:44:57.362-08:002011-11-23T05:44:57.362-08:00I am not a fan of digital images.

I understand your need to move into the digital age and downsize but I'll have to admit I'm a bit sad after just talking my local craft store into stocking and buying Crafty Secrets products this spring. I'm also a person who has a few computer printing issues as well.

I think we can make it really inspiring, super fun and inked stained stamps don't looks as pretty when they get older, plus large or long clear stamps can be a pain to work with. The CD's will print you an amazing image every time for years. It feels like a challenge now - I want to WOW you non believers! Plus maybe a company will license some sets.Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10747928295397697695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880468001413694588.post-24318747072677900072011-11-21T16:23:18.724-08:002011-11-21T16:23:18.724-08:00Well, I am a little sad.

Many companies are also making the "big" announcement. Change is never easy...especially for some people. Maybe you could continue selling some of your more popular stamp sets...or produce some sets as a "limited edition". Education will be the key.

My dislike of digitals is tied to my computer woes. I have what appears to be a touchy system, and never know which day it will throw a hissy-fit. I do not own a laptop, so I always enjoy bringing my "real" stamps along when traveling or going to crops away from home. I do wish you much success with your business decision, and Congrats to your hubby on his recent retirement.

It makes perfect sense to me, the image can be re-sized, and the image comes out clear every time. I have been buying digi stamps from Etsy, it's perfect, buy it one night, receive the file the following day. No more waiting in the mail for your image. I don't think you will be disappointed, this will enable you to live with less clutter (scale down)and hopefully have more time to enjoy Scott's retirement. I think once people try using the images, they will adapt quickly, best wishes, Marilyn McIldoonbusymarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495445065221514938noreply@blogger.com
