We are spoilt for choice with the hundreds of stamps on the market. But once you've picked your stamp, make sure you use the correct techniques to give you a polished finish. Here's how.

1.

To ink the stamp place the ink pad directly onto the rubber and tap gently until it is covered with ink.

2.

Place your inked stamp firmly on your card with an even pressure. Ensure you are working on a flat surface.

3.

Lift stamp carefully off the card. Allow ink to dry (unless you are embossing).
