"Shareables" Collections Terms of Use
"Shareables" are clip arat, digital stamps, cutting files / paper piecing patterns, etc, that you can incorporate into something "new" that you've created yourself...such as a greeting card, candy bar wrapper, scrapbook page, etc, and share that newly created item with others online. You may not share the original artwork "as is" (or just as you purchased it), but you may share new items that you create with the artwork.
Only the products listed in the "Shareables" category can be used to create shareable items. No other products on this site can be used in shares!
*Please read all of our Terms of Use before making your purchases.*
FYI
All DCS "Shareables" clip art collections, digital stamps, and cutting files / paper piecing patterns can be used for Personal Use (PU), Commercial Use (CU), Scrap for Hire (S4H), and Scrap for Others (S4O). You do not need to purchase a Commercial Use, or any other license, to sell or give away, "new creations" that you've made, with DCS' "Shareables" artwork incorporated. ALL terms below still apply.
All clip art and digital stamp images are high quality 300 ppi and come in both, transparent PNG and non-transparent JPG formats. Most are very large graphics that work well for printed projects, but can also be reduced in size for web use.
All cutting files / paper piecing patterns come in the file formats listed in each product description. The "finished example" images are high quality 300 dpi and come in both, transparent PNG and non-transparent JPG formats.
All DCS "Shareables" collections are digital downloads; nothing will be physically shipped to you. Different products may have different file formats, so please check each product description to see what file format(s) each product comes in. Please be sure that your software program and/or cutting file machine accepts the file formats that we sell in our shop, before making any purchases. All of our "Shareables" collections are available for immediate download after you payment is processed. Please be sure to wait until your payment goes through, after checking out and then you will automatically be redirected back to DCS (this may take up to 10 seconds), where you can instantly download your files. Your files will also be emailed to you, for your convenience. All of your files will arrive in a ZIP file folder. You will need to extract (unzip) the ZIP file folder with whatever program came with your computer, in order to access the files inside.
PLEASE DO
If you would like to create digital scrapbook kits, with DCS' "Shareables" artwork, please be sure that the artwork is merged/flattened onto something else (such as a frame, tag, or background paper), or you may add a sticker border. If you would like to sell your scrap kits, they should not contain more than 50% of the collection purchased (e.g. if a collection you purchase from DCS has 10 images, please only use 5 of those images per kit).
When displaying your finished products online, with DCS artwork incorporated, please make sure that they are displayed in a locked format, so the original images cannot be removed from your designs. Also, please be sure to place a watermark, or the word “sample,” across the images.
Please give credit to the original artist on every page that you display, or sell, your creations using their artwork, and include an active, clickable link to their website, if available. For example, “________ (name of your product) was created using artwork by ________ (original artist’s name/website in an active, clickable link to their website, if available).”
Please also give credit to “Digital Craft Supplies” with an active, clickable link to Digital Craft Supplies, somewhere on your website. We have several links for you to choose from on the Link To DCS page. We’ve conveniently provided the HTML code for all of our links, so you can simply copy and paste the code into your website’s HTML area, and the link will be all set up for you.
PLEASE DON’T
You may not sell, or give away, DCS' "Shareables" artwork “as is.” All artwork must be incorporated into something new that you've created, such as greeting cards, candy wrappers, scrapbook pages, digitized patterns, web sets, etc.
DCS artwork may not be purchased, or sold, for use in any type of mass production, publication, software program, or the like.

- Please back up all your files. This is very important!
- Due to the nature of downloadable products, we do not offer refunds.
