Here is a stamping tip from @beaducation - “Stamping detailed design stamps can be tricky. This is our #1 tip that has been used with great success! The larger or more detailed the stamp, the harder it will be to impress. This tilt n' tap method ensures that you will get all the details of the stamp to impress evenly. With detailed stamps we always recommend practicing first on a scrap piece of metal before stamping your final piece. Do not over-tilt your stamp or you will catch the edge. It should be a slight tilt and movement.” Thank you so much for sending me this video to share! It’s so helpful to videos of stamping techniques! I know this will be helpful to many ☺️ #stampingtips #stampingjewelry
