Hello Makers! You’ve asked, and we’ve heard you! We’ve created a printable DIY Stamping Guide Overlay. We hope that this will act as a training guide as you continue to find your own unique style in stamping and in creating meaningful conversation. Below, you can download a guide overlay to tape onto your stamping base, and if you do not have access to a printer, we have also included instructions to draw in your own guide-lines. Happy stamping!
