Many crafters struggle to get clear, crisp, and complete images when they first begin to use stamps. Many even give up trying and exclude stamping from the card making techniques they regularly use. This short technique video, designed with the beginner in mind, is full of tips and tricks to help you create perfect stamped images right from the outset.

It starts at the very beginning of the process; selecting the right size acrylic block, taking care to ensure the surface you are stamping on is flat and unmarked, the type of ink to use and how to apply it, how to apply the stamp to card, and caring for your stamps when you have finished stamping. It's all here!

When you've mastered the basics, have a look on CraftWorld for more tutorials and have fun with these more advanced stamping techniques.
