Oops, it turns out thumb codes dont work in comments, that last example didnt work. My bad.
But basically when pasted it will show the stamp

Once you have created your stamp, upload the deviation to deviantART then on the deviation page you can copy the thumb code and then when pasted it will show up as a thumbnail of the stamp, this thumbnail displays at full size for a stamp though so people display them in there journals. One thing to note though is that to display stamps in your journal using thumb codes requires premium membership. However this doesnt stop you from making stamps and lettign others use them.
The thumbcode is found on the right hand side of the page, just scroll down a little.
thumbcode example: :*thumb101493706*: (without the *) this when pasted turns into :thumb101493706:

Did you provide a mask over the whole thing so that the edges are transparent...? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very good point. Im not a photoshop wiz so im not sure about the mask you refer to but i should have mentioned that.
In the part 2 im making now ill add that to it, i usually just use the rectangular marquee tool then select the edges i need to erase so that the stamp edge is visible and the edges are transparent but id love to know how to use masking?

In that case, I shall tell you about maksing. It's great for moving bits in animating, because you don't need seperate versions of a layer!
A mask is a seperate layer that tacks onto a main layer in Photoshop, If you look at it in the layer view, it will be monochromatic. A mask will control what is visible and what isn't. WHITE will be 100% visible, BLACK will be 100% 'erased'. Grey midtones are semi-transparent.
Many artists will recommend using masks instead of the eraser tool (at least to start with) so if you chenge your mind later you can paint white on the mask and get the 'erased' parts back.
Now I'll get to how-to. Lemme just pull up my own template...
Okay. Now you can mask either layers or groups. For stamps, it's easer to group since you don't know how many layers they're adding. So just highlight everything and hit Ctrl+G to group it. (It'll automatically be called Group 1, just change its name to 'Stamp Base' or something.)
Now look at the bottom of the layer palette. You will see a line of small icons. That includes one like this: [o] ...grey with a white circle. That is the MASK tool. Select your group and click it.
VIOLA! A thumbnail has appeared! Paint black on that white thumbnail and the correalted space on the main group will disappear! (*ooer!*). Also, if you have a SELECTION active (eg with wand tool or marquee) then masking a layer will making the selection white/visible and the rest black/hidden.
You will also see between the group folder and the new thumb a small chain. If you move the group, the mask moves too, so the layer appears as if actually erased. BUT if you click that chain, it disappears. That means that the mask is now UNLINKED, and you can move just the mask (for making animated shine across text!) or just the layer (for moving something into the stamp without it showing outside edges).
Because masks are technically seperate layers (though they cannot be moved between one layer to another, they CAN be copied to another, and the original deleted) you can also use Filter effects like blurs etc. You can also right click on the mask and chose to 'disable' it. This will keep the mask, but temporarily remove its effects so you can see the layer as normal underneath.
Actually, here's a really useful tutorial on masks and some of the different things you can do with them: [link] ...I think it's the one I learned from actually.
