Polka Dot Orchard-Love + Friendship Blog Hop

2/21/2020

Valentine’s Day may be over and done for this year, but
Polka Dot Orchard is still celebrating with our Love & Friendship Inspiration Blog Hop & (2) GIVEAWAYS!!! The creative team has amazing creations to share with you featuring some of our
newest digital stamp releases!

We have two $10 gift cards to Giveaway for (2) lucky winners
chosen randomly from ALL the comments.
You have until Feb. 24th at 11:59pm EST to leave a comment
on each of the blogs, including the
Polka Dot Orchard Blog
letting us know that you completed the hop.

We will announce the lucky winners on February 26th on the
Polka Dot Orchard Blog.

Tutorial: I love Polka Dot Orchards digital stamps, because when you download them, their sizes aren’t restricted. Which means you can make them any size you want. And in this case I made an extra copy of the cardinal and flipped it, so I had two birds facing each other. And I saved this reversed bird in my stamp file with this set on my pc, in case I want to use it again in the future. I use a WPS Free Office program to copy and paste my digital images. It allows me to layer and group digital images as one piece, by moving them around, or bringing images forward and back behind images. Once I have the grouped images where I want them, I save them in the file too, and print on my HP printer using white cardstock from HL, using the thin brand.

Beautiful card you have made with the cardinal. I am just getting into using digitals and I am afraid I don't know how to flip yet. But maybe one of these days I will figure it out.

Thank you Verna for your kind words. I'm fairly new to digital stamps myself. I've only been using them a few months. I use WPS a free software for pc to download (link below). It's easy to use with digital stamps. And allows me to resize, group, copy, and flip images easily. I hope you give it a try. Thank you for visiting and I hope you follow along and come back soon!

I love digi stamps but always need help in how to size and use. Thank you - idea of flipping the birds to look at each other is great.

How cute!! I love how you colored the cardinals different colors.

2/22/2020 19:09:09

Thank you Amanda for your kind words. Real cardinals are different colors. The males we see often are bright red, but the females are mostly gray with touches of pink, beige, and red. Thank you for visiting. I hope you follow along and come back soon!

I don't use many digitals so I'm in awe of what you managed to achieve here! A refreshing change to see a cardinal on something other than a Christmas card too - your sweet pair look totally loved-up inside their heart. Thanks for playing along over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week!
