How to Use Alphabet Stamps

Here are a few simple steps on how to use alphabet stamps:

1. Choose the alphabet letter stamps and place them on your stamping block. You can use an acrylic stamp block or a MISTI. Most stamping tools have grid lines making it easier to align the letters.
2. Once you’re sure that the letters are in a neat, straight line, you can ink them up. Depending on the technique or design you’re going for, you can use dye ink, pigment ink, or embossing ink.
3. Carefully pick up your stamping block and press it onto your cardstock.
4. In case you didn’t get a good or crisp impression, you can always ink up your clear alphabet stamps and stamp again.
