*Tape down what your stamping with blue painters tape onto your steel block.
*stamp on a larger steel block.
*mark my stamps with a sharpie at the 6 o'clock on the design to guide you on alignment.
* take your time and make sure the stamp is not tilted in relation to the block.
* Before striking the stamp, gently rock the stamp on the steel block while pressing down to find the seat.
* Once it's seated, press firmly and strike.
* be sure your hammer strike is strictly a vertical motion. Angled strikes will not result in a good impression.
*All this is done in a matter of seconds. It definitely takes practice.
I generally use an 8 oz hammer.
Design stamps don't stamp the same as letter stamps. More care has to be taken to get a consistent result.
