How to Use Digital Images

Using digital images can unlock a world of creative possibilities for your craft projects, from scrapbooking to card-making, digital designs, and more! Whether you're new to digital crafting or a seasoned artist, here's a simple guide on how to use digital designs to its fullest potential:

Download Your Images

  • Purchase or download your digital images files from a trusted source (like Whimsical Digi Art!).
  • Files are usually provided in formats such as PNG, JPEG, or PDF, so make sure you choose the file type that suits your needs.

Open the Files

  • Once you've downloaded your digital designs, locate the files on your computer.
  • If the files are in a ZIP folder, you’ll need to extract them by right-clicking and selecting “Extract All.” You’ll then have access to the digital images.
  • Open the designs files using simple programs like Microsoft Word or Adobe Lightroom.
    If you’re more advanced or want to do greater editing, use a program like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, or even a free program like GIMP or Canva.

Customize Your Designs

  • Resize & Scale: Adjust the size of the image to fit your project.  Designs can usually be resized without losing quality, especially if it’s in SVG or PNG format.
  • Rotate: Experiment with rotating the image to add a fresh perspective to your project.
  • Change Colors: Many designs images can be customized by changing their colors.
  • Combine Images:  designs are meant to be mixed and matched! Layer multiple image elements together to create unique designs. Combine flowers, patterns, text, and illustrations to form your own custom composition.
