This could be a beginner's guide to a handmade process or templates that others can use in their own creative work. How to introduce digital products without the overwhelm. So start small. Choose one product like printables or digital planner.
or you're an art print of your original, introduce it to your audience gradually. Don't go overboard, let your customers warm up to this new offering. Maybe you just validate what they want, whether they want it first. Choose a few ideas and poll your audience for feedback. It may be that you have your handmade audience.
