Opening and Printing a digi stamp from MS Word

When you start MS Word, a blank document is created. Let's insert our digi stamp into the document. Click on "Insert", then "Picture", then "From File".

The "Insert Picture" dialog box will open. Now we have to find the digi stamp file that we just saved to our computer. First click on "Desktop", then double click on the "Pink Cat Studio Digital Stamps" folder to open the folder.

Click on the digi stamp file and then click on "Insert".

Now you will see that the image has been placed in the document in the top left hand corner. All we need to do next is print out the image and then we can colour it and create our card or project.

Load a sheet of cardstock into your printer. If you are printing from an ink jet it's best to select a cardstock that is absorbent and doesn't have a coating on it. My design team ladies recommend GinaK or PTI or Georgia Pacific card stock which is sold at Walmart. SU Whisper white is not recommended because it has a coating and may cause the ink to smear when you colour. If you are printing from a laser printer then any kind of cardstock will work.
Click on "File" and then on "Print". A "Print" dialog box will open and you can print the file right away or adjust the settings to your liking.

Your printer will print one image in the top left of your sheet of cardstock.

That is all there is to it! Now you can have fun colouring the image and making your card or project.
If you find that the ink smears when you use markers then try heat setting the image before you start to colour.

Now that you are an expert at printing out your digi stamps, maybe you would like to learn how to resize them and print more than one per page. Check out this tutorial to learn how to do just that.
