- When creating a stamped background, start by stamping a few elements and build gradually to avoid overwhelming your page
- Use black ink on white cardstock for a classic look that will complement any photo
- Vary the pressure when stamping to create different intensities of the same image
- Create a paper cluster first, then determine where your stamping should go to balance the layout
- Don’t be afraid to overlap stamped images for a more organic, natural look
