Have you ever used digitals in your paper crafting? It's an entirely different rabbit hole that you can get lost in. :) And by get lost, I mean - find some REALLY cool images and papers that you must have.
I'm no expert, but I have been using a few digital images/stamps, even patterned papers, here and there for a few years now. I've used some jpgs, but mostly PDFs. PDFs are pretty easy - you print out the file, and you get what you get. No resizing or moving things around. I like this - no experience required! Mostly, I print a sheet of patterned paper, or a sheet of images to color in and create a card front with.
I mostly get digitals on etsy, but I'm sure Mr. Google can point you to plenty of choices. I got this file from Scrapbooking With ME. Printed out 3 or 4 full sheets on 32 lb. printer paper with my Brother Laser printer.
I had to hand-cut all the santa images, then I layered them onto some Crumb Cake cardstock. Ink blended the edges.
Stamped that greeting, punched it out and inked those edges. Popped up the Santa panels and greetings.
Finished off with different gems and glittery bits.

I printed another file that I'll work on next - it's got colorful trees and a few snowmen! Digitals are definitely different to work with, compared to stamping everything. You can really get some beautifully detailed images - that I could personally never color that well.
Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
