I have done a search on past threads for digital scrappers, and a lot of threads seem to be older, not up-to-date.
My sweet, wonderful DH bought me a Canon 13x19 color printer, which prints very high quality. He bought it for me so that I could print Heartfelt Creations digital papers and designs. I am loving the benefits of printing my own papers and elements. However, like the Little Mermaid, “I want more….”
We are planning to take a trip to Universal Studios next year, and we will be visiting the new park they are building, with the Paris Harry Potter section, Isle of Berk, etc. Last night I found some really cute AI digital dragon characters on Etsy that will be perfect for an Isle of Berk layout. I printed and cut out a few of them, and I got really excited about the possibilities and options. I doubt that I would ever find dragon papers and elements in a traditional LSS (which I don’t have near me, anyway).
I am looking for more high quality digital options for papers and ephemera to print and cut. The fact that digital products won’t take up space in my craft room is a definite bonus, too.
I would really appreciate names/links to your favorite companies/sources, please!
TIA!

Do you own an electronic plotter/cutter? When I had a 13x19 printer I used the print and cut option often.
I know when I search the Cricut platform my results include cutesy and sophisticated images due to the wide gamut of options from contributing artists. I no longer own Silhouette branded products, but I imagine the options are similar. Regardless of platform, any svg or clean image can likely be made into a print and cut by importing it into your plotter’s designated software.

Yes, I have and use my electronic cutter with my printer. I also have a ton of both Silhouette and Cricut files. I should have clarified that. I am looking for patterned papers and ephemera that are from other companies. I like the Silhouette and Cricut designs, but I want more and varied designs, which I hope I’ll find from other companies that cater to digital/hybrid scrapbookers. |

As well as the digital stores that caspad mentioned, you can also buy digital kits from the following "traditional" scrapping companies: American Crafts ( AC Digitals) Simple StoriesKatie Pertiet (she sells her own stuff plus her 49 & Market stuff) Snap Click Supply Co, that does Echo Park, Fancy Pants, BoBunny, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, Carta Bella plus lots more Cocoa Vanilla Studio has some of their older kits available as digital product, but not the newer ones. FYI, The Lilypad has a SOSN (Something Old Something New) sale every Wednesday, with selected items 50% off. They also offer 20% off new releases every Friday-Sunday. And the first Friday of each month is BYOC (Build Your Own Collection). Each month there is a set colour palette that the designers use to create products that can be mixed and matched. The more you buy, the bigger the discount. There are other regular sales throughout the year. Katie Pertiet does regular sales throughout the week. Sometimes it's 50% off everything, sometimes it's 40% off templates or elements etc. I usually check in every day! I can never remember what days Sweet Shoppe Designs have their sales. The info should be on their blog. Another one that wasn't mentioned is DigitalScrapbook.com . You can get a kit or collection of your choice for free when you join up. You can also download up to 5 items per day for free. ETA: I forgot to mention..... the digital scrapbook stores that only do digital/hybrid are considerably cheaper than the traditional scrapbook stores that sell digital kits. Even when American Crafts etc have sales (not often), their products are still quite a bit more expensive than what I would pay full price for at The Lilypad, for example. |

The fact that digital products won’t take up space in my craft room is a definite bonus, too. They will, however, take up a lot of room on your computer!  I own a ridiculous number of digital kits, and take a ridiculous number of photos, so I have to pay for 2TB iCloud storage to store them all. |

Thank you, AussieMeg! I appreciate the additional information/sources.
I’m not worried about the file space issue. I use external hard drives as needed.

Oh yes, she's one of my favourites! ❤️ I didn't think to mention her specifically, because she's one of the designers at Sweet Shoppe Designs, which had already been mentioned. I'm pretty sure she still has part one of Tempest still for free on her own site. |
